Problems/Comments

The former Campion AFS was built in the early 1950s and became operational in 1952. In 1983, Campion AFS was closed when the Galena AFS went online. Between 1985 and 1990, the entire infrastructure of Campion AFS was demolished. Since its closure, environmental monitoring and remedial efforts have been ongoing. Sites associated with the Campion AFS include AL908, OD001, LF004, LF005, ST007, the Former Sewer Utility Corridor, and Former Pipeline. Contaminants of concern are primarily petroleum related; however, in 2023 USAF submitted documentation of a release of AFFF. PFAS investigation is required before Site ST007 can be considered for a future closure decision.

3/7/2006	Update or Other Action	DEC submitted comments on the draft Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study, including comments from a contracted risk assessment review. The Air Force's proposed remedies for multiple petroleum contaminated sites include limited excavation and in-place landfarming for surface soils, and bioventing for subsurface soils. DEC agreed to these remedies, many of which have already been implemented on a pilot scale or larger, and have shown largely promising results. All sites include long-term groundwater monitoring and land use controls (LUCs) as integral components, however, it is currently under discussion which entities that will implement the LUCs after the base closes. The risk assessment review comments posed numerous questions for resolution, including unexplained exclusion of data, and potentially inappropriate use of input parameters for the Johnson and Ettinger model for evaluating the risk posed by vapor intrusion. Comment resolution on the risk assessment is scheduled for middle March, and further negotiation on the implementation of LUCs is set for April.	Colin Craven

1/7/2021	Update or Other Action	During the 2011 Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS), a former pipeline was investigated at Campion. The6-inch-diameter steel petroleum pipeline and communications cable extended from the former barge/unloading dock southeast through the wooded area to the former Campion AS through two different paths. A jeep trail ran alongside the petroleum pipeline. A former employee reported that the pipeline routinely leaked during loading and unloading and was subject to tampering by individuals who attempted to take oil from the pipeline for personal use. During the 2011 EBS, three surface samples were collected which resulted in multiple exceedances of the current migration to groundwater and human health cleanup levels. Additional investigation is needed at the former pipeline. See the 2011 Environmental Baseline Survey report for more information.	Jamie McKellar
5/3/2021	Update or Other Action	Based on review of the 1985 Phase I Records Review (Campion AR #2), when the Campion AFS was operational, there were two drinking water wells installed at what is now Site ST007.

12/13/2023	Update or Other Action	In November 2023, USAF submitted a draft Preliminary Assessment Report for Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Areas. The draft PA describes a former burn pit the OB/OD area. No documentation of its use exists. Prior to any request for site closure, sampling for SVOCs and dioxins must be conducted at the OB/OD burn pit area.	Jamie McKellar
12/15/2023	DEC Non-Concur on Federal No Further Action Decision	In November 2023, USAF submitted a Preliminary Assessment for AFFF at Campion. The scope of work for the PA was to "determine the potential for PFAS impacts from historic storage, use, or release of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) at the 21 remote USAF installations in Alaska." Based on interviews that were conducted for Campion, AFFF was stored at Campion and there was a possible fire training area at Campion. The interviewee reported that approximately 500 gallons of AFFF was stored in 5-gallon jugs on pallets near the Civil Engineering complex. He observed that the jugs were deteriorating, split, frozen and split, exposed to weather, hit by heavy equipment and snowplows. Not all but some of the jugs had leaked. Additionally, the interviewee described a potential fire training area at Campion, which consisted of a black and sooty structure built from steel tanks. As such, DEC disagrees with USAF's overall recommendation for no further action.	Jamie McKellar
12/18/2023	Update or Other Action	Based on the findings of the AFFF PA, a PFAS investigation is required in the location of the former Civil Engineering Complex, generally associated with Site ST007, before the site can be considered for a future site closure decision. All future site characterization activities at Site ST007 must include considerations for PFAS, specifically analytical sampling and IDW management.	Jamie McKellar
10/8/2024	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC submitted comments on the Draft 2023 Remedial Action-Operation (RAO) and Long-Term Management (LTM) Report for Campion Air Force Station (AFS) Sites AL908, LF004, LF005, SS002, and ST007. Several sites showed signs of trespassing and use as an unsanctioned firing range. Recommendations for several sites included completing the Records of Decision (RODs), and continued application and monitoring of the Institutional Controls (ICs) onsite.	Tim Sharp

3/7/2006

Update or Other Action

DEC submitted comments on the draft Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study, including comments from a contracted risk assessment review. The Air Force's proposed remedies for multiple petroleum contaminated sites include limited excavation and in-place landfarming for surface soils, and bioventing for subsurface soils. DEC agreed to these remedies, many of which have already been implemented on a pilot scale or larger, and have shown largely promising results. All sites include long-term groundwater monitoring and land use controls (LUCs) as integral components, however, it is currently under discussion which entities that will implement the LUCs after the base closes. The risk assessment review comments posed numerous questions for resolution, including unexplained exclusion of data, and potentially inappropriate use of input parameters for the Johnson and Ettinger model for evaluating the risk posed by vapor intrusion. Comment resolution on the risk assessment is scheduled for middle March, and further negotiation on the implementation of LUCs is set for April.

Update or Other Action

During the 2011 Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS), a former pipeline was investigated at Campion. The6-inch-diameter steel petroleum pipeline and communications cable extended from the former barge/unloading dock southeast through the wooded area to the former Campion AS through two different paths. A jeep trail ran alongside the petroleum pipeline. A former employee reported that the pipeline routinely leaked during loading and unloading and was subject to tampering by individuals who attempted to take oil from the pipeline for personal use. During the 2011 EBS, three surface samples were collected which resulted in multiple exceedances of the current migration to groundwater and human health cleanup levels. Additional investigation is needed at the former pipeline. See the 2011 Environmental Baseline Survey report for more information.

Update or Other Action

In November 2023, USAF submitted a draft Preliminary Assessment Report for Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Areas. The draft PA describes a former burn pit the OB/OD area. No documentation of its use exists. Prior to any request for site closure, sampling for SVOCs and dioxins must be conducted at the OB/OD burn pit area.

Jamie McKellar

12/15/2023

DEC Non-Concur on Federal No Further Action Decision

In November 2023, USAF submitted a Preliminary Assessment for AFFF at Campion. The scope of work for the PA was to "determine the potential for PFAS impacts from historic storage, use, or release of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) at the 21 remote USAF installations in Alaska." Based on interviews that were conducted for Campion, AFFF was stored at Campion and there was a possible fire training area at Campion. The interviewee reported that approximately 500 gallons of AFFF was stored in 5-gallon jugs on pallets near the Civil Engineering complex. He observed that the jugs were deteriorating, split, frozen and split, exposed to weather, hit by heavy equipment and snowplows. Not all but some of the jugs had leaked. Additionally, the interviewee described a potential fire training area at Campion, which consisted of a black and sooty structure built from steel tanks. As such, DEC disagrees with USAF's overall recommendation for no further action.

Jamie McKellar

12/18/2023

Update or Other Action

Based on the findings of the AFFF PA, a PFAS investigation is required in the location of the former Civil Engineering Complex, generally associated with Site ST007, before the site can be considered for a future site closure decision. All future site characterization activities at Site ST007 must include considerations for PFAS, specifically analytical sampling and IDW management.
