Received 2004 Contaminated Site Monitoring Report. Diesel contamination in two locations: West of Well House B-15 and near Well House B-20. Two diesel spills totaling 976 gallons were reported in 1985 near Well House B-15. 35 CY of impacted gravel excavated from this site in 1996, confirmation samples contained DRO up to 335 mg/kg. Several release also documented near Well House B-20 including crude and diesel. 25 CY of impacted gravel excavated in 1996, confirmation samples contained DRO up to 1,060 mg/kg. Surface water sampling conducted in 2003 found no water quality exceedances. 2004 water quality monitoring found biogenic and possible hydrocarbon sheen. DRO was detected at location B3 at 1.16 mg/l, however the lab noted that the chromatogram was consistent with biogenic DRO and not diesel. VOCs were not detected.

Recieved 2005 Annual Water Monitoring Report. This report identifies another contaminated area west of Wellhouse B-6. Samples collected here at the toe of the gravel pad in 1994 and 1996 had DRO in gravel up to 1,200 mg/kg and DRO in surface water at 2.99 mg/l. In 2005, surface water samples were collected from established monitoring points B1, B2, and B3. TAH not detected in any sample for the third year in a row. DRO has increased in surface water up to 2.85 mg/l, however no sheen was noted. DRO attributed to biogenic interference. Report recommends additional sampling to verify 2005 results. |

Response to conditional closure request mailed to BPXA. Surface water samples at the pad have not been analyzed for PAHs (TAqH) in accordance with AWQS. ADEC requests samples be analyzed for PAHs next sampling round after which the request for conditional closure will be reconsidered. |

Cleanup Complete Determination Issued |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Contaminated Sites Program (ADEC) has completed a review of the environmental records associated with BPX Milne Point B Pad, located in the Milne Point Unit near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Based on the information provided to date, it has been determined that the contaminant concentrations remaining on site do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment and no further remedial action will be required as long as the site is in compliance with established institutional controls (ICs). |
