Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
8/8/1994 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Staff reviewed and commented on the Site Assessment Report for Bldg. 778 Fort Richardson, AK The Alaska Department o(Environmental Conservation-Defense Facilities Oversight group (ADEC) has received, on July 25, 1994, a copy of the above referenced report. Below are our comments regarding the site assessment of UST 22. 5.3 Conclusion and Recommendations page 11 The text states the site is recommended for closure. Pending site screening results obtained from Oil Spill Consultants' work at this site, ADEC concurs with the recommendation. The site closure will be considered final contingent on the additional sampling that will confirm the presence or absence of soil coritamination above level "C" criteria. Louis Howard
8/19/1994 Site Closure Approved ADEC sent letter to Army re: Results from Additional Soil PID Screening and Analyses. Staff received a fax of the document on August 19, 1994. The analytical results for Bldgs. 750E, 750W, 778, 784, 812, 980, 45726, and 55295 showed levels well below the most stringent cleanup criteria ("A"). Based on the data presented by the Army, ADEC considers the UST sites closed out. However, closing out these sites does not limit nor preclude ADEC from requesting future remediation or site investigation at a later date. If new information indicates that there is previously undiscovered contamination or exposures that causes an increased risk to human health or the environment, then future investigation and/or remedial actions will be required. Level "C" criteria is applicable to Bldg. 980 UST 42. Louis Howard
8/26/1994 Update or Other Action Army's sent a decision document to memorialize the no further remedial action planned at Bldg. 778 UST 22. This decision document describes the rationale for No Further Remedial Action Planned at Building 778, Fort Richardson, Alaska. This remedial action has been chosen in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), the National Contingency Plan (NCP), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Army Regulation 200-1, as applicable. Building 778, located on D Street is the motorpool for the Law Enforcement Command, U.S. Army, Alaska. Underground storage tank (UST) number 22 was removed and replaced in July 94, as required by the Fort Richardson-State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation, UST Compliance Agreement. Soil contaminants at the site include Diesel Range Organics (DRO), Gasoline Range Organics (GRO), Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), and Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene and Xylene (BTEX). These compounds were found at up to 4.4 parts per million, 11 ppm, 22 ppm and 1 ppm respectively, to depths of up to 15 feet below ground surface (bgs). The UST located at the building has received closure from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Contamination at this site is below the ADEC level A cleanup standards, as specified in 18 AAC 75, of 100 ppm DRO, 50 ppm GRO, 2000 ppm TPH and 10 ppm BTEX. Further, exposure is not probable based upon accessibility to the area of the USTs, and is within acceptable risk levels to both the ADEC and the Environmental Protection Agency. Louis Howard
