Site Reconnaissance conducted in 2001. Stained soil and vegetation on north side of the tank farm.

11/6/2008 Cleanup Complete Determination Issued Based on the information available, ADEC has determined no further assessment or cleanup action is required. There is no longer a risk to human health or the environment, and this site will be designated as “Cleanup Complete” on the Department's database. Although a Cleanup Complete determination has been granted, ADEC approval is required for off-site soil disposal in accordance with 18 AAC 75.370(b). However, since this site has met the most conservative soil cleanup levels, this letter will serve as your approval for future off-site movement and disposal of soil associated with this release. It should be noted that movement or use of potentially contaminated soil in a manner that results in a violation of 18 AAC 70 water quality standards is unlawful. This determination is in accordance with 18 AAC 75.380(d)(1) and does not preclude ADEC from requiring additional assessment and/or cleanup action if future information indicates that this site may pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.
