Notice of Violation |
Ron Klen (ADEC) issued an NOV letter to Tom Medley, Colonel, U.S.Army, Garrison Commander, Dept. of the Army, Headquarters 6th Infantry Division (Light) for spill at Building 55-804 Spill #88-2-1-1-313-1. On November 8, 1988, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation received a report of a leaking underground storage tank (UST) at Fort Richardson building 55804. A tank inspection confirmed that a hole in the bottom of one UST resulted in the release of petroleum product for an unknown period of time. An inspection of the excavation confirmed soil and groundwater contamination from the release.
The alleged spill constitutes violations of AS 46.03.710 (Pollution of Air, Land, Subsurface Land or Water of the State Prohibited), AS 46.03.740 (Discharge of Petroleum or Petrolum Products without a Permit Prohibited), and associated regulations. According to AS 46.04.020(a) (Removal of Oil Discharges), a person causing or permitting the discharge of oil shall immediately contain and clean up the discharge. According to AS 46.04.020(b), the containment and cleanup activities must be carried out in a manner approved by the Department.
1) Identify the vertical and lateral extent and level of subsurface contamination from the alleged spill in a manner approved by the Department.
2) Identify and inventory all groundwater wells and surface waters within a 1,300 foot radius of the site and produce well logs, if available. The inventory will be used by the department to determine if water quality screenings are required.
All workplans must be accompanied by a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan and be reviewed by the Department prior to commencement of work. Please provide a written report within seven (7) days of receipt of this letter outlining the actions you intend to take. The Department specifically reserves the right to require additional assessment or cleanup activities as information is developed during the course of the site evaluation. The Department also specifically reserves the right to take further action as provided for in Title 46 of the Alaska Statutes. |

Colonel Edwin Ruff, Corps of Engineers letter to Ron Klein (ADEC). Reference your letter of November 15, 1988, which pertains to the LUST at Bldg. 55804, spill# 88-2-1-1-313-1. The tank has been removed from service and placed in a holding yard where it will be drained and then disposed of. The excavation site was dug well below the tank. As diesel drains back into the hole, it is being removed and will most probably be sent to Fort Wainwright for burning with coal.
The excavated dirt is being stockpiled at the burn pit for future disposal. The burn pit was placed out of service prior to movement of contaminated soil to it. At this time, the final disposal method of the soil is still unknown.
The extent of contamination is unknown, however, all contaminated soil will be removed. Probing devices and "sniffers" shall be used to aid in the determination of the extent of contamination. There is one wetland area approximately 1000 to 1200 feet due north of the site. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife map, this wetland is palustrine scrub-shrub. There are no wells within or near the 1300 foot radius. All water is piped in from the water plant (Bldg. 28008). |

Letter to Edwin Ruff, Colonel, COE, Director of Engineering and Housing. Subject: Building 55804, LUST Spill# 88-2-1-1-313-1. Thank you for your December 12, 1988 response to the department's November 16, 1988 letter to Colonel Medly. The submitted information partially satisfies the department's request. Specific information is requested on the planned assessment and remediation activities.
For example:
1) What specific methods will be used to identify the horizontal and vertical extent and extent of subsurface soil and groundwater contamination? Will the assessment work be contracted or done in house? A quality assurance/quality control plan must be submitted to the department for review prior to undertaking assessment activities.
2) What procedures will be followed to guide soil excavation activities?
3) What is the proposed work schedule for assessment and remediation activities?
Please provide the requested information or contact the department to schedule a meeting to discuss the proposed work plan within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter. |

Rich Sundet received the Pollution Incident Report (Spill # 90-2-1-1-096-2) dated April 6, 1990. Point of Contact is Catherine Scott, Acting Chief, Environmental Resources Branch.
Fuel Spill Ammo Area by Mr. Lyle 862-3100. Diesel Fuel Arctic (DFA) less than fifty gallons at bldg. no. 55803 in underground tunnel. Corrective action to eliminate pollution: Excavate UST and check piping for leaks. Pipes (ethylene glycol) goes from 55803 to boiler. UST with diesel heats boiler. Underground tunnel goes from boiler building to 55803. Very strong diesel smell in bldg. 55803 where tunnel begins also liquid (DFA?) at tunnel floor. UST was reported leaking and fixed April 6, 1990. Possible that the tank is leaking again. |

ADEC sent Col. Edwin Ruff letter re: USTs at Fort Richardson. Staff reviewed the draft SOPs for Site Investigation of UST removals dated April 11, 1990.
Screening Method: Soil samples collected when HNU [photoionization analyzer] readings are consistently less than 50 ppm. Recommend excavating until the readings with Hnu are non-detectable (or equal to the background readings) and then collecting soil samples for laboratory analysis.
Sample location: The department has not been accepting composite sampling from within excavation as a means of determining adequacy of cleanup. Composite sampling has been approved as a method of characterizing spoils piles after excavation.
Sample collection procedure: Sample collection jars should be obtained from the laboratory that will perform the analyses. Samples must be stored at 4 degrees celsius from the time of collection until analyzed (within 14 days of collection).
Analysis: All soil samples should be analyzed for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPA Method 418.1) and BTEX (EPA Method 8020) unless a hydrocarbon identification test (EPA Method 8015) clearly shows that the contamination is ONLY diesel or another non-gasoline fraction hydrocarbon such as heating fuel. Under these conditions, samples need only be analyzed for TPH.
If the tank was used for waste oil, soil samples should be analyzed for PCBs (EPA 8080), total arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead as proposed in your SOPs. If the total lead content is above allowable limit, additional sampling and analysis should be conducted following the toxic characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP). Rather than testing the soils for total organic halides by EPA Method 9020, the department is requesting analysis of total organic halides by EPA Method 8010.
If a site cannot be cleaned up adequately through the tank removal and initial excavation efforts, a site assessment may be requested including individual work plans and QA/QC plans. For the initial tank removals this letter and your SOP for tank removals, dated April 11, 1990, will suffice as a generic work plan. |

Preliminary Assessment Approved |
ACOE installed 6 soil borings to depths ranging from 35-50' and no groundwater table was encountered. Petroleum contamination was identified around 10' below ground surface. This site had releases of heating fuel in 1988 and again 1990 due to faulty installation of the UST system. Product had been observed floating on the water in a utility corridor sump in an adjacent building. A sump pump discharges water from the sump to an adjacent swampy area. Cleanup was attempted by excavation in 1988 and again in 1990. It is not clear what volume of soil was removed or if sampling was conducted following excavation. |

UST Remediation Five Sites at Fort Richardson, AK. Site Assessment/Release Investigation Report and Corrective Action Report dated December 7, 1992. Executive Summary: Site 2: Building 770 Motor Pool, 106th MI Battalion-Regulated 1,500 gallon waste oil tank, Site 3: Building 702-Vehicle Storage, Gas Pump Bldg. Regulated 5,000 gallon MOGAS tank, Site 5: Building 908 South 1117th Signal Battalion Stockroom, non-regulated 1,000 gallon fuel oil tank, Site 6: Building 908 North, 1117th Signal Battalion Stockroom, non-regulated 1,000 gallon fuel oil tank and Site 7: Building 55804, Ammo Renovation Shop, Ammo Area "A", non-regulated fuel oil tank.
Five USTs were removed in 1989 and 1990. Excavation of soil was to proceed until the excavation site was free of contamination. However, in most cases, a clean reading could not be obtained. Due to contract obligations, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) allowed the sites to be backfilled with the understanding that Fort Richardson, Directorate of Public Works (DPW) would further remediate at another time.
Soil samples from the UST removal excavations were taken and analyzed. At a meeting on June 13, 1990 attended by ADEC, DPW, and the Alaska District Corps of Engineers, the ADEC (John Halverson and Jennifer Roberts) recommended a drilling strategy. The ACOE drilled and sampled the sites in August and September 1990. Remaining contamination is limited to diesel range organics (DRO), and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes), and at Site 5: o-Dichlorobenzene. |

Site investigation work was not conducted between buildings 55804 and 55803. The former tanks were next to building 55804 but ADEC staff observed sheen and diesel odors coming from a sump beneath building 55803 in 1988 and 1990. Additionally, AQ/QC problems were noted during data validation for sample results from this site. Based on the above, the department requested a work plan for additional site investigation. |

UST Remediation Five Sites at Fort Richardson Site Assessment/Release Investigation Report and Corrective Action report received January 28, 1993 submitted to ADEC on February 5, 1993. ADEC commented on report which lists the site as: Site #7 Bldg. 55804, Ammo Renovation Shop, Ammo Area A (UST#74). Site investigations in 1988 and 1990 indicated the presence of petroleum on water in a sump located beneath building 55803.
Information submitted does not indicate any assessment work has been conducted between buildings 55803 and 55804. In addition, several QA/QC problems were noted in the data validation for sample analyses from this site. Therefore ADEC is requesting submittal of a plan for additional site characterization. The site plan for 55804 shows three valves between the two buildings. ADEC requests clarification on the type of piping associated with the valves and the product the piping carried. |

A.G. letter (Breck Tostevin) to Tamela J. Tobia, OS Judge Advocate for the Army. Letter states that a separate petroleum site compliance agreement should be separate from the CERCLA federal facility agreement. The petroleum site restoration agreement would function as a "two-party agreement" under the FFA. It would track the basic provisions of the UST Agreement but be tailored to the State's contaminated site regulations and would interface with the FFA. All petroleum sites addressed under the Two Party agreement would be reviewed in the final operable unit of the FFA and actions taken would be memorialized in a Record of Decision (ROD) under the FFA. |

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation-Defense Facilities Oversight group
(ADEC) has received, on May 17, 1994, a copy of the above referenced report. The following comments are only for the investigation of the release from a non-regulated fuel oil tank at Bldg, 55804 Ammo Area "A" also known as site no, 7.
4.3.1 and 4.3.2 Diesel Range and Aromatic Volatile Organics page 10
The text needs to further discuss how the high cooler temperatures and bubbles in sample
containers noted in appendix C may or may not impact the reportability and accuracy of the
data presented.
Appendix C 10. Lessons Learned Problems Encountered: Page 108
The text states two QA sample cooler temperature read 8 and 11 degrees Celsius. Please
elaborate on specifically which samples were received at these temperatures in the tables that
compare project and QA data (Appendix B). The text also states bubbles were noted in the
VOA containers and annotated in the cooler receipt form in ARDL report # 9446.
Please elaborate further by specitically identifying which samples in Appendix B had been
received in this condition, ADEC concurs that the level C cleanup criteria was not exceeded at this site and will consider the site closed out after the above issues are addressed, However, closing out of this site does not limit nor preclude ADEC from requesting future remediation or site investigation at a later date. If new information indicates that there is previously undiscovered contamination or exposures that may cause risk to human health or the environment, then future investigation and/or remedial actions may be required by ADEC. |
