Problems/Comments
The site is a drum storage area of unknown contents during active instalation times. The site consists of the drum storage area and a large trench with standing water in it. Two smaller trenches are also present within the site boundaries. A member of the Chugach Support Services indicated that the trenches were used as borrow pits. No drums were located in the drum storage area during the site inspection, however, nine crushed drums were found in the alders 150 feet east of the fence surrounding the missile storage area. No sediment or surface water samples were collected from the trenches. One soil sample was collected from beneath one of the drums found in the alders and returned RRO , 4,4' DDT , and benzo(b)flouranthene detections below cleanup levels. Additional sampling may need to be conducted to confirm that no exceedances are in the water and sediment in the trenches. Also, more comprehensive sampling may be required in the area of the drums found in the alders.
