Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Meeting w/ DOWL discussing work plan for soil removal and characterization activities. Kotzebue landfill will tank the soil from borings for thermopile foundation. Field screening may be completed concurrently with installation of thermopiles, however, DEC is not requiring this. The stockpile will need to be sampled and disposed of according to state regulations. Thermopiles will be installed before spring melt. Characterization may need to be postponed until summer. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
Approved workplan for the installation of 6 soil boring between the new nullagvik hotel (formerly hanson's trading post) and Shore Avenue. Analytical and field screening samples will be obtained by split-spoon samples. One or two borings will be located between new hotel and bayside restaurant. The objective of this sampling event will be to determine if soil contamination extends off the property. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Received report of soil screening and sampling from borings and entrance excavation associated with new Nullagvik Hotel construction on former Hanson Trading Post property. Stockpiled soil samples from thermosiphon borings had DRO contamination up to 725 mg/kg; stockpiled soil from hotel entrance excavation contained DRo up to 904 mg/kg. PAHs sampled from thermosiphon borings cuttings were below migration to gw cleanup levels. Diesel odor was noted in thermosiphon borings at the southeastern installations.

Porewater collected summer 2010 along beach of Shore Avenue, directly across new Nullagvik Hotel contained benzene above groundwater cleanup levels, and TPH & TAqH above surface water criteria.
Groundwater at this site should be sampled in the future.
