Problems/Comments

Asphalt/Tar Drum Stage a.k.a. PS-09. Asphalt tar material disposed in early 1980s. 4,000 square feet of soft tar/asphalt. TPH in soil to 200 mg/kg. Tar to be removed is approximately 1,000 cubic yards + 500 cubic yards of soil. NFAD approved in 1995. Eareckson AS is situated on Shemya Island, approximately 1,500 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska at the westernmost tip of the Aleutian Islands. Shemya Island is part of the Near Islands group of the Aleutian Archipelago. Shemya Island is owned by the U.S. Government and is under the jurisdiction of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The U.S. Army first developed facilities on Shemya Island in 1943 to support operations against the Japanese occupation forces on the nearby islands of Attu, Agattu, and Kiska. In 1954, the site was deactivated, and was turned over to the Civil Aeronautics Authority in 1955. In 1958, the Air Force returned to Shemya Island to support various Air Force and Army strategic intelligence gathering activities. It has remained active in this capacity to the present. In 1995, the station was downsized and reverted to caretaker status and a private operation and maintenance contractor took control of the facility under contract to the Air Force. Longitude is east of Greenwich. RCRA EPA ID#s AK9570028705 Hazardous waste activity: generator 2, storer and burns hazardous waste fuel in burner. AK7570000151 Cleanup. Hazardous waste activity: generator 1 and transporter. Also Huffman Construction Co. of Alaska RCRA EPA ID#AKD982654238 Hazardous Waste Activity: generator 2 at Shemya Air Force Base. Point of contact: Larry Opperman, Project Manager, 611th CES/CEV 10471 20th Street Suite 338, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska 99506-2270. Telephone (907) 552-7893. Last ADEC staff assigned is G. Pikul.
