Additional Property Attributes

From ADEC review: Consistent with the 2015 PACP report, apparent Bunker C fuel oil contamination was observed in the southern portion of the property boundary in a distinct 2 to 6 in thick at approximately 0.5 to 1.5 ft bgs. Analytical soil sampling within the visibly contaminated area identified concentrations of DRO, RRO, and six PAH analytes above ADEC SCLs. Analytical results show no evidence of vertical migration of COPCs in the soil. Bunker C contamination appears to be confined to the upper 2 ft bgs. Results from samples collected from the TWPs indicate no impacts to groundwater from historical releases of Bunker C contamination. The northwest and northeast corners of the visibly contaminated tar were delineated by S&W. This report confirms the lateral extent of the tar as well as the additional COPCs to the east and west. However, the extent to which the visibly contaminated tar extends beneath First Avenue remains unknown; Ahtna was unable to refine the southern extent due to the presence of underground utilities (phone, water, and sewer). Additionally, uncertainty exist in regards to the northwest corner of the property boundary where DRO and RRO exceeded SCLs, but no visibly contaminated soil was observed. This area of contamination likely comes from a different source as the physical and chemical characteristics (visual evidence, odor, PID readings, and DRO/RRO chromatograms) are not the same as for the Bunker C contamination. According to the laboratory, the hydrocarbon signature observed in the DRO/RRO chromatogram for sample 16-TAL-TP-08-1.2-1.3 was consistent with a lube oil, not a fuel. PCBs were not detected in the soil samples collected from the visibly contaminated tar or from the location near First Avenue; therefore, PCBs should not be considered a COPC at the site. Arsenic concentrations ranged from 4.67 gm/kg to 10.1 mg/kg. Data from five stream or pond sediment samples collected within a 9-mile radius of Tanana resulted in mean localized background concentrations for As of 9.2 mg/kg. The analytical data presented in this report, suggest that the site contains naturally occurring As concentrations above the ADEC Method Two SCLs.

Former Use: The property was federally owned until 1984 when the property was conveyed to Tozitna, Limited under ANCSA. Under federal ownership, the Alaska Railroad Corporation (a federal entity) operated on the property, however the federal Alaska Railroad no longer exists and is not affiliated with the state run Alaska Railroad. In 2013, contaminated soil was discovered while trench work was being done along side the road. The community subsequently applied for Brownfields to address the contamination so they could expand their community hall.
