Additional Property Attributes

Diesel fuel, lubricating oil, metals, and potentially solvents have been released at the site. The concentrations of DRO and RRO measured in the southern portion of the Former AVEC Facility are higher than the maximum allowable concentrations in the DEC Method Two cleanup levels. Direct contact is an exposure pathway of concern because observed staining and samples collected at 0.1 feet bgs suggest the exposed soil is contaminated. Given the close proximity to ground water/surface water, there is a potential risk to that exposure pathway. Fluids also remain in transformers and generator engines have a potential to be released to the environment.

Former Use: The Former AVEC Facility is not currently in use but was used to generate electricity for Selawik between 1970 and 2003. The Site is located east of the school and west of the river. The former electrical generation facility included up to 22 ASTs, the main generator building, a generator module, a heat recovery structure, storage structures, and associated power distribution equipment. As of December 2010, Lot 1 of Block 5 and Lot 5 of Block 3 were owned by AVEC. AVEC and the City of Selawik have expressed interest in transferring ownership of the property to the City. The two parcels show conveyance from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to AVEC on August 5, 1985.
