Update or Other Action |
During the Spring 2000 Site Ranking Contract with S&W, the file for this site was never found. Contact from ADEC staffs to ADNR staff Gary Schultz for related information resulted in this update. The responsible party was convicted of criminal charges. This occurred somewhere around 1986. There was an industry supported cleanup. Mark Helmricks bought Newco in the early 1990s and has been a good operator. These days the pad is spotless during all of my summer inspections." ADEC staff Frechione will follow-up to obtain more information on this site. |

Update or Other Action |
DNR is in the process of reassigning the lease. Prior to approving an assignment of lease it must be demonstrated that the lease is free of contamination. The first step in the process is for DNR to complete a Phase 1 Environmental Audit and DNR just completed this audit. It shows that site has been used for the storage and/or disposal of various hazardous substances, and that a Phase 2 Environmental Audit must now be completed. See letter in file which explains this in detail and lists the
areas of concern. Also the Phase 1 Audit and supporting documents are in the file. |

Conditional Closure Approved |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Contaminated Sites Program (ADEC) has completed review of the environmental records associated with the Colville, Inc. site which is also known as (AKA) Newco. This site had been contaminated by the release of a hazardous substance. Based on the information provided in this report and available environmental records, ADEC has determined that the soil contamination remaining on site exceeds the most stringent ADEC soil cleanup levels, but does not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. No further remedial action is required, and the site can be closed subject to conditions listed in the ROD. |

Institutional Control Update |
There has been some additional development on this property where a new tank farm and loading rack were installed and the pad was extended onto the tundra. The surface water ponds were relocated. The IC requirement of surface water monitoring will need to be done on the new pond instead. In the next IC compliance review these details will be reviewed with the responsible party. There is an active site record on this property too where more development details can be found. The hazard ID is #25928. |
