Site Characterization Report Approved |
Letter sent to the USACE approving the 2007 Site Investigation Report, CH2M Hill, July 2008. 12 passive soil gas probes were installed and no contamination detected. Contamination is likely localized below the vault. The valve and vault could not be pulled during the 2007 investigation as it is too close to the roadbed for the Haines Highway. ADOT&PF plans to realign this section of highway in the next few years and the USACE will address the contamination at that time. |
