Problems/Comments
Diesel contaminated soils encountered while removing 2 heating oil USTs. Approximately 75 cubic yards of contaminated soils removed. Trace of halogenated organics detected in north UST waste soils. Extent of residual contamination, human health threat, date and quantity of release unknown. The property is owned by Alaska Railroad, leased to the Robert Pfiel Estate, and subleased to Service America. ADEC in 12/91 requested additional site assessment to determine extent and impact on groundwater of residual contamination. Lots 127 and 128, Alaska Railroad Corporation Terminal Reserve. Last staff assigned was Olson.

| Action Date | Action | Description | DEC Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2/21/1990 | Interim Removal Action Approved | (Old R:Base Action Code = REM - Removal / Excavation). Shannon and Wilson monitored removal of a 500 gallon heating fuel UST. Soil and groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons encountered. Up to 5640 TPH in the soil. Approximately 20 cubic yards of soils excavated. Excavation lined and backfilled. Report completed in April 1990. | Former Staff |
| 2/21/1990 | Update or Other Action | (Old R:Base Action Code = FI - Field Inspection (General)). During site visit, R. Godden found visual and olfactory evidence of the presence of significant amounts of petroleum contaminated soil and groundwater. | Ron Godden |
| 2/22/1990 | Site Added to Database | Heating oil contaminant. | Former Staff |
| 5/24/1990 | Interim Removal Action Approved | (Old R:Base Action Code = REM - Removal / Excavation). Shannon and Wilson monitored removal of a second heating fuel UST (1,000 gallon) at the site. Soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons encountered up to 222 ppm TPH in soil. 50 cubic yards excavated and stockpiled. Report completed 7/1/90. | Former Staff |
| 7/26/1990 | Update or Other Action | (Old R:Base Action Code = RAPR - Remedial Action Plan Review (CS)). Shannon and Wilson submitted disposal plans for varying contaminated stockpiles of excavated soil. Less contaminated soils are proposed to be placed in the Municipal landfill.

| 4/1/1992 | Update or Other Action | (Old R:Base Action Code = DD - Decision Document (CERCLIS)). GW contamination from Home Heating tank release of petroleum hydrocarbons. Last monitoring event showed some residual contmaination of GW with levels of some compounds below the Alaska drinking water standards, some other Petroleum Hydrocarbons present in low amounts but above ND. Will check with water program ADO to make final determination. | Former Staff |
