Action Information
| Action Date | Action | Description | DEC Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11/5/1990 | Site Added to Database | Asbestos, petroleum, and chlorinated solvents. | Former Staff |
| 10/21/1991 | Preliminary Assessment Approved | R&M consultants conducted an environmental property assessment for UAF. Two 20,000 gallon underground storage tanks on site need to be drained of all contents and removed in accordance with ADEC regulations. Additional subsurface borings be done around buildings investigated by COE in 1985 to evaluated any changes in the nature, level, and vertical extent of contaminant plume that may have occurred since 1985. Soil samples need to be taken from area around transformer cooling oil spill since TPH was at 44,000 mg/kg from a 1991 sampling effort. PCBs were at less than 1 mg/kg. Note, the above applies to the Launch Facility, not specifically to the dump site. | Former Staff |
