Problems/Comments
On 5/20/07 approximately 425 gallons of #1 diesel fuel were released from a portable fuel storage tank, mounted on a tanker truck, due to a seal failure on a transfer pump. The fuel was released onto a gravel pad and neighboring tundra. Initial removal action was completed; contaminated soil was placed on a liner near the spill area; contaminated snow was removed from the tundra and stockpiled; fuel was separated from the snow melt water and the water was treated and discharged. Analytical data indicated that contamination above ADEC cleanup levels remained at the site. Disposal of soil stockpile from initial removal action will continue to be managed by PERP staff. *This site is a cost recovery site with a private RP, do not charge the DERA.

| 12/11/2007 | Risk Assessment Report Approved | ADEC received the Final Risk Evaluation Report – Alaska North Slope Radar Installation Sites on November 6, 2007. This report meets the requirements of the ADEC Contaminated Sites Program Risk Assessment Procedures Manual, adopted by reference in 18 AAC 75.340. An approval letter was sent to Dave Cook, Program Manager HQ PACAF/A7NR, on December 10, 2007 This project identified categories of sites that are common on remote Air Force installations in the North Slope region of Alaska and developed conceptual site models and human health and ecological risk based screening levels for four of these categories: garage sites, fuel storage sites, non-fuel storage sites, and transformer sites. The project developed templates for conducting human health and ecological risk evaluations for these categories and performed a risk evaluation as a test case for one example of each type of site. The final report contains guidance on applying the process to other North Slope region sites. It may be used on a site-specific basis as a tool to assist in assessing potential risks posed by North Slope Air Force installation sites. | Tamar Stephens |
