(Old R:Base Action Code = RAPR - Remedial Action Plan Review (CS)). CH2M Hill QA/QC plan for various King Salmon Airport sites; the sites include the Eskimo Creek oil seep, North Barrel Dump, Naknek River seep, and the South Barrel Dump. A total of 17 sites were addressed by this QA/QC plan. |

(Old R:Base Action Code = SI - Site Investigation). CH2M Hill site investigation. The airport was originally constructed in the early 1940s to support the war effort. The airport was turned over to the State of Alaska in 1959. The State continues to operate the site with the Air Force as the major tenant. A White Alice site was activated in 1957. It was deactivated in 1979 and replaced with an Alascom Satellite earth terminal. Only a small portion of the site is owned by the State. The majority is on military land. In 1980, 340 military personnel resided at King Salmon Airport. The north and south barrel dump site, Eskimon Creek Seep and Naknek River seep sites were tested for over 146 constituents of concern. Of these, 39 potential contaminants of concern were identified. High concentrations of TPH were identified in shallow wells and soils at this site. Floating product (>1 foot) was identified at the Eskimo Creek Seepage Site. Lead and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination levels at this site pose a threat to fish and wildlife (page 126). No immediate environmental threat was identified at the Naknek River Seep (page 126). Both the north and south dump sites could pose a threat to fauna since the detection limits used in analyses were greater than the chronic aquatic organism toxicity. Remediation, based on stage 2 sampling, at both barrel dump sites could include: no action; restricting site access; preventing the migration of contaminants. Containment preferred remediation route. The Naknek River and Eskimo Creek seeps will receive further sampling to identify a specific remediation response. In general, based on further sampling results, the alternatives are: no action, which will not occur based on preliminary site investigation; recovery of floating product; treatment of shallow groundwater; excavation of contaminated soils; restrict site access; containment. |

(Old R:Base Action Code = SI - Site Investigation). CH2M HILL Final Draft Technical report under USAF contract # F33615-85-D-4535, Delivery Order # 012 sent to ADEC. This report only deals with 2 areas (Eskimo Creek and Naknek River) out of 4 past hazardous waste disposal and spill sites previously prioritized and grouped (stage 1). Naknek R. = Lower and Upper Naknek because of different contamination sources at each area along with a difference in the tyhpe and amount of contaminants of concern. In the Upper Naknek 2 plumes encompass 7,000 cubic yards and 9,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil above 100 ppm TPH at a depth of 3 to 5 '. Groundwater at 1 of 7 wells revealed aromatics of 12 ug/l benzene. Lower Naknek also consists of 2 distinct plumes of TPH to a depth of 3' The material at each plume above 100 ppm estimated to be 2,200 cubic yards and 3,300 cubic yards. Low levels of aromatics were detected in 2 wells below MCLs. Trichlorethane was detected in MW-57 at 120 ug/l exceeding MCL of 5 ug/l. Eskimo creek had 3 wells MW-22B, MW-28 and MW-38 exceed MCL for benzene (5 ug/l) 56, 23, and 8 ug/l respectively. 5 wells exceeded the MCL of 5 ug/l for trichlorethane MW-31, MW-47, MW-38, MW-30, MW-34 (18, 64, 26, 90, 29 ug/l respectively). 8 wells had naphthalene and methylnaphthalene ranging from 20 to 18,000 ug/l. Soil boring and hand auger soil samples revealed TPH from 4.2 ppm to 47,7000 ppm to depths to 20'. Various recommended remedial actions were presented for the 3 sites with all measures requiring monitoring for a minimum of 3 years to assess site conditions and the need for technical modifications to the selected remedial measures. |

ADEC staff participated in a Restoration Advisory Board meeting at the King Salmon Air Station. Community members are encouraged to attend and view a presentation of the most recent sampling program where data is available. Main topics discussed were the TCE plume that is in Groundwater Zone 1 where a treatibility study is being conducted to see the possible influence of adding an enhanced in-situ bioremediation product that is engineered to break down chlorinated solvents. The other main topic discussed was the results from the basewide monitoring event at all of the Groundwater Zones from 2007. |

Site Visit |
ADEC staff took part in a site visit to a number of pertinent sites at King Salmon Air Station over a 2 day visit. Sites, especially the pending Multi Site Inspection sites, were inspected for any visible evidence of contamination and potential sampling locations as the work plans are still being formulated. ADEC staff was accompanied to all of the sites by the Project managers from the USAF and thier contractors. A Restoration Advisory Board meeting was held during the site visit. The topics discussed included the most recent basewide monitoring program, a discussion of the Multi-SIte inspection project, an update on the status of the Groundwater Zone 5 Records of Decision, and a brief discussion concerning the TCE treatibility Study in Groundwater Zone 1. The next RAB meeting has been tentatively scheduled for April 21, 2009. |

Site Visit |
ADEC staff traveled to King Salmon with the new RPM for the King Salmon Air Station to tour the sites and look at the excavations that were completed during the 2009 field season. Several sites were inspected and overall the sites appeared to be secured with orange snow fencing and visqueen covering the stockpiles to prevent ponding and migration of contaminants. While in King Salmon staff attended and participated in a Restoration Advisory Board Meeting to meet with the public of King Salmon and discuss the results from the latest round of base-wide sampling and to discuss the progress of the excavations that were conducted during the summer.

ADEC approves the 'Final 2017 Five-Year Review, King Salmon Divert, Naknek Recreation Camp I, Naknek Recreation Camp II, Alaska, November 2017' in a letter dated May 15, 2018. Land Use Controls have not been fully implemented at any groundwater zones at King Salmon Divert. Recommendations include: finalizing the decision document for Zone 7, determine the extent of drinking water wells at Lake Camp (number of wells, depth of wells, and groundwater gradient), and fully implement LUCs by updating public land records for non-USAF owned properties. The next five-year review will be completed in 2022. |

Final 2017 Long Term Monitoring Report for King Salmon Divert, dated September 2018, is approved on this date. General conclusion for Groundwater Zone 4: Free phase hydrocarbons observed in MW-57 for the sixth time in seven years. Sampling results from OT30-04 suggest that the DRO plume at MW-57 is having an impact on the river bank at that location. DRO, ethylbenzene, and naphthalene exceeded cleanup levels in the A-Aquifer. A sheen of GRO & DRO was noted in surface water, and benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, and naphthalene exceeded criteria for sediment. |

DEC provided comments regarding the SS012 Lower Site Investigation Report and Interceptor
Trench Evaluation Draft, dated July 2024. The report presents the site investigation activities at the SS012 L site located in groundwater zone 4 in King Salmon, Alaska. Soil, groundwater, sediment, and surface water samples were collected to characterize the nature and extent of petroleum and chlorinated solvent contamination. Contamination was encountered across all the sampled media at the site. Sheen was observed on the Naknek River, which is in violation of Title 18 of the Alaska Administrative Code (AAC), Chapter 70. The report recommended proceeding with a remedial action and the implementation of land use controls to prevent human exposure to the contamination at the site. |
