Update or Other Action |
Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a Land Use Assurance Plan for Environmental Activities for the U.S. Coast Guard Base in Kodiak. The document outlines a plan to track institutional controls (ICs) at the various contaminated sites on base. There are currently about fifteen sites on base with institutional controls. The plan objective is for the Coast Guard Environmental Section to screen contractor and other activity such as above or below ground construction, well drilling, etc. against the sites listed in the plan. Work can then be tailored to meet any existing ICs |

Update or Other Action |
Contaminated Sites staff reviewed an Interim Corrective Action Report for the Site 9 Avgas Tanks at the U. S. Coast Guard Base on Kodiak Island. Two areas within the former tank farm had treatment systems installed using iSOC oxygen injectors to enhance bioremediation. One area was impacted with primarily vinyl chloride and the other with gasoline range and diesel range organics. The systems were operated for about six months and produced mixed results. The oxygen concentrations increased in the groundwater at both well clusters, but the contaminant levels increased. The contractor thinks the increase may be due to soil disturbance during well installations a few days prior to the second sampling event mobilizing contamination. The intent is to restart the oxygen injectors next season and continue monitoring for concentration trends |

Update or Other Action |
Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a corrective action plan for the Site 9 Avgas Site on the Coast Guard Base on Kodiak Island. The site was a former tank farm that has two areas of groundwater impacts. One area was impacted with primarily vinyl chloride and the other with gasoline range and diesel range organics. The remediation plan is to install four iSOC oxygen injectors to enhance bioremediation at each area. The DEC is recommending increasing the number of sampling events to better track contaminant concentration trend analysis |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
Contaminated Sites staff reviewed and commented on Interim Removal Action Reports for contaminated sites at the US Coast Guard Base in Kodiak. Approximately 4,700-tons of petroleum impacted soil were excavated from six above ground storage tank sites. The soils were thermally treated on site and reused for backfill in the area. Contamination above cleanup levels remains at all the sites. A couple sites may have justification for leaving contamination in-place for now including active utilities and an active asphalt pad in the area of contamination. Sites with impacts over cleanup levels remaining in-place will be listed on the USCG Land Use Control Assurance Plan for implementing institutional controls |

Site Visit |
Contaminated Sites staff conducted site inspections with the EPA and Coast Guard at several Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and Coast Guard sites on Kodiak Island. Field work had been done this season at Building A-711, Building A-141, Drury Gulch, Airport Staging Area, and the Site 3 Laundry. PCB and TCE soil removals have been completed at Drury Gulch and the contractor is working on the cap over the entire gulch and the drainage channel realignment. The biosparging pilot study at the Fire Training Pit is being evaluated and the cleanup team has decided to go back to the feasibility study and consider other remedial alternatives for the site |

Update or Other Action |
The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) submitted a Revised Inventory Project Report (INPR) to ADEC. The report documented the Corps' approval of a new Hazardous Toxic and Radiological Waste (HTRW)project for the Kodiak Army/Navy Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS), Kodiak, AK. The revised INPR added Avgas Hill (aka Site 9 Avgas Tank Farm) as a new project. During Naval base operations during WWII, the Dept. of Defense (DOD) constructed a tank array system at this site that included 64 underground fuel storage tanks (25,000 gallon capacity each). The tank array system included roughly 8,000 linear feet of piping which connected all of the tanks to the truck fill stand located on Storis Drive and the fuel pier on the west side of the Nyman Peninsula. The USCG has no record of ever utilizing the AVGAS Hill tanks which were reportedly removed in the late 1970s by the DOD after the Navy turned over the facility to the USCG. Additional removal of piping and debris, including four previously excavated tanks and approximately 36 concrete valve boxes was performed in 1984. The tank excavations were backfilled and the site was regraded. The USCG conducted investigations at the site, and most recently in 2009 identified soil and groundwater contamination. Contaminants of concern include petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and chlorinated solvents. The revised INPR documents the DOD's determination that the contamination is present as a direct result of DOD use of the land. As of the date of the subject revised INPR and this action entry, both the responsible party and lead agency for this site have been revised from the USCG to the Corps. The USCG remains the landowner. |

Site Visit |
ADEC conducted a site visit to access the site in lieu of the site being transferred back to the Department of Defense for FUDS-eligible remediation. The Army Corps will be conducting groundwater monitorin in 2012 and a UVOST SI in 2012 to determine the nature and extent of contamination. |

Cleanup Plan Approved |
ADEC submitted a conditional approval of the USCG's responses to comments, including both the revised redline and final versions of the USCG's Jewel Beach Storm Sewer Outfall Replacement Project Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which is scheduled to be implemented in 2018. While ADEC approved the final EMP, ADEC's conditional approval requires the USCG' project team to address additional comments in the project's final site plan prior to implementing the EMP in the field. The primary contaminated site concerns involve the former Aircraft Maintenance Building 28 which is a FUDS where VOCs, PCBs, metals, and POL contaminants were confirmed present above applicable cleanup levels as a result of prior investigations. The focused 2017 site investigation of the Jewel Beach outfall project area that was conducted by the USCG confirmed the presence of low-level concentrations of several of the site COCs within the length of the proposed project excavations. |
