CERCLA ROD Periodic Review |
ADEC issued a letter of concurrence on the 2008 Five-Year ROD review for Eielson AFB. In the letter ADEC concurred with the current remedies but recommends further work on the following: the vapor intrusion pathway needs to be evaluated for all potential receptors at WP45/SS57 site along with further evaluation of the selected remedy to ensure the Remedial Action Objectives are going to be met. The buried drums remaining at SS35 may still contain product that may pose a potential risk to ecological and human health risk in the future. The area of buried drums identified outside of SS37 may pose a threat of an imminent release of hazardous substances and warrants further investigation or response action. As stated in the 2008 Five-Year ROD Review, the overall long-term protectiveness determination for the Sitewide OU/Garrison Slough remedy will be further investigated. A Land Use Control Management Plan should be developed and implemented. |

Update or Other Action |
DEC approved Land Use Control (LUC) boundary updates that were discussed at the 23 October 2023 meeting. The updated site boundaries were based on site evaluations performed since initial interim LUCs were place on the sites. Site SO075 boundaries are being expanded northeast to capture soil contamination. SS078 is being expanded to include a proposed monitoring well. MY512 was recommended for collapse and a shift north to include two monitoring well locations. MY518 and SO504 were recommended for site closure, but will retain current LUC boundaries until a final DEC decision is made. |
