Soil Processing Inc. will begin operations again in the spring of 2005. Donald Seagren
4/13/2005 Update or Other Action reviewed Coast Guard after action reports for work performed at the base on Kodiak. Site 6B Jeff Brownlee
1/19/2006 Meeting or Teleconference Held Contaminated Sites staff participated in a Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting to discuss the recent documents available for the review and the field work the COE will be doing this summer in the island. The COE and DEC were interviewed on public radio to discuss the Kodiak projects and overall contaminated site cleanup process. There was also a public open house to give community members the opportunity to bring up concerns and ask questions in person. As typical for Kodiak turn out was light Jeff Brownlee
3/16/2006 Update or Other Action Contaminated Sites staff reviewed an Interim Action Report for site 6B on the Coast Guard Base on Kodiak. Approximately 14,000-tons of DRO impacted soil was removed and thermally remediated on-site in 2005. Soil removals will continue during the 2006 season at three locations in the FS-6 and JP-5 tank farms Jeff Brownlee
9/14/2006 Update or Other Action Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a Land Use Assurance Plan for Environmental Activities for the U.S. Coast Guard Base in Kodiak. The document outlines a plan to track institutional controls (ICs) at the various contaminated sites on base. There are currently about fifteen sites on base with institutional controls. The plan objective is for the Coast Guard Environmental Section to screen contractor and other activity such as above or below ground construction, well drilling, etc. against the sites listed in the plan. Work can then be tailored to meet any existing ICs Jeff Brownlee
9/18/2006 Update or Other Action Staff participated in site inspections at several Formerly Used Defense Sites and Coast Guard sites at Kodiak. The EPA and Coast Guard also participated in the inspections. Barb Morson for the Coast Guard and Ben Farrell for the EPA and I went to the CG base to look at some sites. We toured the Mogas site and Site 7A Barrel Storage. These two sites plus the Site 3 Laundry are hazardous waste management units. The remainder of contaminated sites on the base are Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs). The CG is interested in restricting post closure care and monitoring under RCRA at these three sites and transferring them to SMWU status. The Barrel Storage Area has a RCRA “D” listing (as opposed to “F”) which is easier to deal with. The site is closed as a landfill. The CG would like to remove the asphalt cap and SVE system and do a Class III modification on the permit. A risk evaluation, active remedy and long term monitoring would be necessary to do this. We then toured Site 6B. About half the site is a 41/2 million gallon active tank farm storing JP-5 and diesel. The other half is impacted soil cleanup from previous tanks. The Mogas site was 18 25,000-gallon ASTs that are in detection monitoring closed with waste in-place with a passive bioventing system. The site is currently closed as a landfill, but the CG would like to do a soil removal so the site can be switched to a SWMU. Jeff Brownlee
8/16/2007 Exposure Tracking Model Ranking Jeff Brownlee
10/25/2007 Site Characterization Report Approved Contaminated Sites staff reviewed and commented on Interim Removal Action Reports for contaminated sites at the US Coast Guard Base in Kodiak. Approximately 4,700-tons of petroleum impacted soil were excavated from six above ground storage tank sites. The soils were thermally treated on site and reused for backfill in the area. Contamination above cleanup levels remains at all the sites. A couple sites may have justification for leaving contamination in-place for now including active utilities and an active asphalt pad in the area of contamination. Sites with impacts over cleanup levels remaining in-place will be listed on the USCG Land Use Control Assurance Plan for implementing institutional controls Jeff Brownlee
8/12/2008 Site Visit Contaminated Sites staff conducted site inspections with the EPA and Coast Guard at several Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and Coast Guard sites on Kodiak Island. Field work had been done this season at Building A-711, Building A-141, Drury Gulch, Airport Staging Area, and the Site 3 Laundry. PCB and TCE soil removals have been completed at Drury Gulch and the contractor is working on the cap over the entire gulch and the drainage channel realignment. The biosparging pilot study at the Fire Training Pit is being evaluated and the cleanup team has decided to go back to the feasibility study and consider other remedial alternatives for the site Jeff Brownlee
