Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Received 2008 Groundwater-Sampling Results. Less than 1 gallon of product was recovered from the collection galleries. NAPL was 1/4" thick in gallery. In Sept 2008, WP1 and WP2 and residential water wells at 1066 and 1074 were sampled and analyzed for BTEX, DRO by EPA 8021B, AK102 and EPA 524. All were nondetect except 1066 drinking water well which had DRO at 6.73 mg/L. In Oct 2008, this drinking water well was resampled upstream and downstream of filtration system w/ duplicate. Results were all non-detect. Recommedations include sampling again in summer 2009 and continue to monitor collection gallery for free product recovery. |

Site Visit |
Staff from the CS and PPRP programs met with the RP and neighbors to discuss and observe the locations of residential supply wells and possible source areas for benzene contamination observed in the 1074 Eliz Street supply well. Follow up response will include gasoline UST photos and filling notes of an onsite gasoline tank. |

Update or Other Action |
After testing the residential supply wells at 1066 and 1074 Eliz Street in October and in November 2016, benzene contamination was no longer observed in the water samples. It is possible that lab errors resulted in the initial reported benzene contamination. The consultant will proceed to put together an investigation report for 1066 Eliz. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
The approved work plan lays out a strategy to evaluate remaining contamination to ascertain if soil and/or groundwater contamination has decreased to levels that do not require institutional controls (ICs) to manage remaining site risk. Soil and groundwater samples will be collected within or near the excavated area to determine the remaining degree and extent of soil and groundwater contamination. |

Cleanup Complete Determination Issued |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Contaminated Sites Program (ADEC) has completed a review of the environmental records associated with the Residence - 1066 Eliz Street HHOT contaminated site located at 1066 Eliz Street, North Pole. Based on the information provided to date, it has been determined that the contaminant concentrations remaining on site do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment and no further remedial action will be required as long as the institutional controls are maintained and effective and no new information becomes available that indicates residual contamination poses an unacceptable risk. |
