Problems/Comments

On August 23, 2006, Evert's Air Fuel delivered an estimated 440 gallons of #1 diesel to 1554 Persinger Drive, North Pole. At the request of the owners, Evert's Air Fuel was to fill their aboveground storage tank. There are two above ground tanks on site; one by the garage and one behind the house. The tank behind the house was to be filled, however, Evert's Air Fuel filled the one by the garage. The tank by the garage failed and released all of the fuel to the ground. Evert's Air Fuel performed the majority of the cleanup. Over 100 tons of contaminated soil were excavated and thermally treated. Field screening and sampling was performed by the PERP project manager. All contaminated soil was removed with the exception of what was left under the garage. Property boundary to the East is adjacent to the Chena Slough.

9/25/2008 Site Visit Conducted a site visit and spoke to landowner Karen Collier and attorney, Gail Balou. The drinking water well on-site is cross gradient of source area and approximately 200' away. The drinking water well is screened at 40' deep. It is my estimation that the drinking water well is likely not impacted from residual contamination. Other possible down gradient drinking water wells at neighboring residences would be approximately 400' away making contamination unlikely. Neal Everson
