Additional Property Attributes

In the spring of 2008, the Holy Cross Village Council submitted an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation DEC Brownfield Assessment DBA request form to the DEC to address contamination concerns at two properties in the community. The properties include Big Lake and the Holy Cross City Shop. The DBA request form identified contamination from the former activities at the Site as a health concern precluding re-use of the land. The stated re-use for Big Lake is to restore it such that the lake and the surrounding area can be used for recreational purposes such as swimming, ice skating, fishing, picnicing, and walking. On May 13 and 14, 2009, SLR completed a site visit of the site. The conclusions from the Property Assessment and Cleanup Plan recommended actions include surface water and sediment sampling to determine if the lake has been impacted and a bathymetric and debris survey to determine the type and magnitude of the debris in the lake. Approximately 35 cubic yards of contaminated soil were identified at the City Shop property.

Former Use: There is no known outflow from Big Lake and anecdotal information indicates that the lake is likely gound water fed. The depth of the lake is unknown. Fish species and beavers live in the lake. A small amount of debris was visible duing the site visit the total amount of debris located within the lake is not quantified. The City Shop is located just north of Big Lake on property also owned by Deloycheet. The shop was built in the 1980s at its current location and has been used for storage and maintenance of equipment owned by the City of Holy Cross since that time. Prior to that, the location was used as a recreation site, a sawmill, and a landfill. No known asbestos or PCBs have been used in the shop. An inventory during the site visit revealed used oil, engine oil, heavy duty coolant, hydraulic oil, hydraulic fluid, motor oil, antifreeze, gasoline, muriatic acid primer, paint and stain, batteries etc.
ID Number (if Applicable): Hazard ID: 25310 Enrolled: 01/05/2009
