* Chapter 1Introduction and Summary

This Management Action Plan (MAP) contains a status summary of the Ejelson Air Force Base (AFB)

environmental restoration and compliance programs and presents dhe comprehensive strategy for

implementing response actions necessary to protect human health and the environment. This MAP also

presents a strategy for the Base which, when followed, will promote an organized and consistent approach in

the execution of restoration activities. This strategy integrates and coordinates activities under both the

Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and the Environmental Compliance Program (EC). Although

environmental compliance programs are on-going at the Base (e~g., USTs, PCBs, Asbestos, etc.), it is the

intent of this MAP to discuss in detail only those programs which affect restoration activities and only give a

brief summary of plans to manage responses for Environmental Compliance Programs. The Eielson AFB

MAP does the following:

* Chapter 1, Introduction and Summary describes the objectives of the Base Environmental RestorationProgram, the purpose of this Management Action Plan, the Project Team formed for the program, and

provides a brief history of the installation;

*Chapter 2Z Property Disposal and Reuse Plan is omitted from the Eielson AFB Management Action

Plan because it is not a Base that has been selected for closure;

* Chapter 3, Installation-Wide Environmental Program Status summarizes the status of the Eielson AFBIRP and Environmental Compliance programs, accounts for all contaminated sites, and clearly defines

the regulatory programs under which each is being addressed;

* Chapter 4, Installation-Wide Strategy for Environmental Restoration describes the installation-wide

strategy for environmental restoration through definition of operable units (OUs) and the scope of

removal and remedial activities associated with (or to be completed for) each operable unit, summarizes

plans for managing underground tanks via the underground storage tank (UST) program, and

summarizes plans for managing responses under other compliance programs;

* Chapter 5, Environmental Restoration/Compliance Program Master Schedule provides a master

schedule of planned and anticipated activities to be performed throughout the duration of the

environmental restoration program, including restoration-related compliance activities;

* Chapter 6, Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved describes specific technical and/or administrative

issues to be resolved by the Eielson AFB Project Team, and a strategy and approximate schedule of

their resolution.

Environmental Response Objectives

The objectives of the environmental restoration program at Eielson AFB are as follows:

* Protect human health and the environment;

* Comply with existing statutes and regulations;

* * ~~Conduct all IRP activities in a manner consistent with Section 120 of the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and

Reauthorization Act (SARA);

Page 5: Management Action Planalaskacollection.library.uaf.edu/eafbsc/cd1/AR221-1.pdf · Management Action Plan Elelson Air Force Base, Alaska 22 December 1992 ... Management RPM 1 Julie

* Meet Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) deadlines and/or commitments in other agreements;

* Complete RIs as soon as practicable for each OU, in order of priority,

* Continue efforts to identify all potential source areas;

*Imitiate selected removal actions to control, eliminate, or reduce risks to manageable levels;

* Identify and map the environmental condition of installation property, including areas of no suspectedcontamination (ANSCs), concurrent with remedial investigation (RI) efforts; characterize risks associatedwith releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous wastes;

* Develop, screen, and select remedial actions (RAs) that reduce risks in a manner consistent withstatutory requirements; commence RAs as required by the FFA;

* Conduct long-term RAs for groundwater and any necessary five-year reviews for wastes left onsite.

1.2MAP Purpose

This Management Action Plan presents, in summary fashion, the status of Eielson AFB's environmentalrestoration and compliance programs, and the comprehensive strategy for environmental restoration andrestoration-related compliance activities. In addition, it defines the status of efforts to resolve technicalissues so that continued progress and implementation of scheduled activities can occur. The MAP is adynamic document that will be updated on a regular basis as the restoration process is accomplished.

1.30Project Team

The Eielson AFB Project Team has been established and is led by the Base's Environmental RemedialProject Manager (RPM). Table 1 lists the team members, and specifies their roles and responsibilities.Project Team meetings are the primary means of resolving technical issues, reaching consensus, andproposing the best technical answers for dleanup problems. The Project Team is the principle forum forresolving technical and administrative issues of environmental response actions, and meets at least quarterlyor more frequently as needed. The RPMs review environmental documents and plans, and providecomments and regulatory input to improve the final product.

The Environmental Steering Committee (ESC) is internal to the Base Civil Engineering organization andprovides civil and environmental engineering review of proposed environmental response actions. The ESCgives technical review of documents and plans, and recommends results, findings, proposals and actions.

The Technical Review Committee (ITlRC is chaired by the Vice Wing Commander and consists ofrepresentatives from the U.S. Air Force, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Alaska Department ofEnvironmental Conservation (ADEC); community representatives from North Pole, Fairbanks, and theUniversity of Alaska. The purpose of the ThC is to facilitate communication and coordination among themembers of the mRC, to provide an opportunity for members to comment on environmental cleanup actions,and to facilitate regulatory and public participation consistent with applicable laws and the Federal FacilitiesAgreement. The TRC members review and comment on technical documents, related plans and data forrecommended response actions. TRC recommendations are advisory in nature and are submitted to theEnvironmental Protection Committee.

The Eielson AFB Environmental Protection Committee (EPC) is the executive body through which0environmental decisions and policy are made. The EPC is chaired by the Vice Wing Commander and

consists of command representatives. The EPC members review Project Team, ESC and TRCrecommendations for environmental response actions and comment on the overall impact the proposedactions or plans have on the base. The EPC recommends plans, proposals, and actions to the WingCommander for decision.

The Wing Commander, who is the ultimate decision maker, has appointed the Vice Wing Commander toserve as chairman of the EPC and the TRC and be responsible for the actions of the RPM~s and projectteam members.

1.4Brief History of installation

Ejelson AFB is an active Air Farce facility approximately 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle and 26 milessoutheast of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Base is approximately 2 miles east of the Tanana River and is isolatedfrom any major urban areas. The communities closest to the Base are Saicha, Moose Creek, North Pole,and Fairbanks.

The facility encompasses approximately 19,790 acres of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Approximately3,651 acres are improved or partially improved; and 16,139 acres are undeveloped land encompassing forest,wetlands, lakes, and ponds. Base topography is generally flat and somewhat featureless with elevationsranging from 550 feet above mean sea level (msl), sloping downward to the north-northwest. Elevations onthe undeveloped side of the Base are as high as 1,125 feet above msl.

Eielson AFB was originally a satellite installation of Ladd Field (now Fort Wainwright, a U.S. Armyinstallation). Intial construction of the Base began in 1943, with completion in 1944. The Base wasdeactivated at the end of World War II and reopened in 1946 as a future strategic base. From 1947 to 1954,a major construction program expanded the facilities at the Base. Since the early 1960s, the primary missionof Eielson AFB has been to provide trained tactical air support forces for air strike control and directsupport of Army ground elements assigned to Alaska.

Since 1950, major industrial operations at Eielson AFB have been performed to maintain and supportresident operations. Propulsion shops, vehicle maintenance shops, and hydraulic shops an Base generatedwaste oils, fuels, solvents, and cleaners. Since 1981, the level of maintenance activities has increased due toan increased number of military aircraft added to the Base. Eielson AFB's mission expanded to providetactical support to Alaskan Air Command and later to Pacific Air Forces. Within Eielson AFB's boundaries,these many sources of contaminants developed into several hazardous waste sites. Because of past industrial Spractices, many federally owned facilities have faced similar environmental problems. These past practiceshave caused groundwater and soil contamination, and the potential for surface water contamination.

In November 1989, Eielson AFB was listed on the National Priorities List (NFL), which brought it under theFederal Facilities provisions of CERCLA Section 120. This action required the Air Force to enter into anFFA with the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Alaska for conduct of installationenvironmental restoration efforts specific to designated IRP sites. The FFA between Eielson APB, EPA,and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation was finalized on 21 May 1991.

IRiP Sources

As shown in Table 3 and Figure 2, there are 64 identified sources on Eielson AFB. Of these 64 identifiedsources there are 28 sources that are combined into six operable units under the PEA; 32 sources that arebeing investigated under the SER process under the EPA; and 4 sources that are not included in the EFAbut are being addressed under the IRP process.

3.1.2Installation-Wide Source Discovery/Assessment Status

All known sources (identified to date) on Eielson AFH, have been addressed in the draft site-wide mRI/SManagement Plan dated 17 June 1991. Currently, there are no points of interest (POls); any POls that areidentified in the future will be addressed according to the HIP process. Table 4 summarizes the removal andinterim actions for the known source areas.

3.2.1Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and Flightfine

Eight underground storage tanks were removed during FY 92 and site closure is anticipated for all but oneof the tanks by the end of FY 93. The tank at Building 1307 will be closed during FY 94. Thirty-five liSTsare scheduled to be replaced during FY 93.

Two major military construction projects are programmed to begin in FY 93, Hydrant Refueling on OscarRow and base wide Underground Fuel Storage Expansion.

An additional FY 93 project, Leak Test USTs, will be performed to install leak detection systems on 40different above and below ground tank systems. This project is the first of its kind for large bulk storagetanks.

3.2.2Solid Waste, Asbestos, PCBs, NPDES Permit, Other

A Refuse Derived Fuel Project is programmed to be designed in FY 93 with construction projected for FY94 to reduce the amount of solid waste taken to the landfill. The Base has an on-going recycle program foraluminum cans, metals and paper.

The Base has established and is maintaining an Asbestos Monitoring and Maintenance Program. They haveconducted an asbestos survey of all facilities and performed abatement or encapsulation of asbestos asdeemed necessary. The Base also provides monitoring, surveillance, and quality assurance for asbestosremoval/disposal during construction.

The Base has conducted a survey of all PCB related areas. All but two electrical transformers found to havePCBs have been purged and declared PCB free. The two transformers in Building 11238 are scheduled to beretrofitted during the FY 93 construction season.

A Hazardous Material/Hazardous Waste (HM/HW) Management Plan has been written and is used toensure compliance to all Federal, State, and Local regulations concerning the use, minimization, handling,and disposal of HM/HW.

3.3Status of Community Involvement

Community relations activities that have taken place at Eielson AFB to date include the following:

E FA Process. The EFA for Eielson AFB was prepared by the Air Force and signed by the Air Force,EPA, and ADEC in May 1991. This agreement establishes a schedule for completing CERCLAdocuments and activities associated with the cleanup of 28 sources within six operable units at the base.The FFA also states that 32 additional sources are being addressed under the Source Evaluation Reportprocess.

Community Relations Plan. The Eielson AFB Community Relations Plan (CRP) was approved forpublic release on 26 August 1991. The CRP was prepared by the Air Force and is currently beingimplemented under the direction of the Air Force RPM. The plan provided background informationabout the regulatory process, the Site, the surrounding community, and current community concerns andinformation needs regarding environmental cleanup work. Based on this information, the plan outlined aprogram of activities to be conducted to keep the public informed of Site work and provide opportunitiesfor public input in cleanup decisions. This helps to comply with the intent of the Superfund communityinvolvement process. An update of the community relations plan is to be published during the summerof 1993.

*Administration Record/Information Repositories. The public has access to information regarding theBase through two collections: the Administrative Record and the Information Repository. The originaladministrative record rile is located at the Eielson AFB Environmental Office in Building 2258. By law,the administrative record must contain all documents used to form the basis for the selection of acleanup action under CERCLA.

A duplicate administrative record is located at the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library Archives Section,University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, Alaska.

An Information Repository is located at the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, Arctic and Polar RegionArchives Section, and a second Information Repository is located at the Noel Wien Library, both inFairbanks, Alaska.

Information Repository Handbooks containing the Community Relations Plan, Fadt Sheets, and an indexof administrative record and informnation repository documents are on file at the Eielson AFB Library,North Pole Library, North Pole, Alaska, and the Alaska Department of Environmental ConservationOffice, Fairbanks, Alaska.

*Technical Review Committee. The Technical Review Committee reviews actions and plans to coordinateCERCLA/IRP with the public and regulatory agencies. This provides members with an opportunity toreview and comment on cleanup actions, suggest improvements or identify problems, advise the Basedecision makers of alternative points of view on proposed actions, and to yield the best possible courseof cleanup action. The TRC shall consist of representatives from the United States Air Force; theUnited States Environmental Protection Agency Region 10; the Alaska Department of EnvironmentalConservation; commumity representatives from North Pole, Fairbanks, and the University of AlaskaFairbanks; and other members as approved by the TRC.

*Base Mailing List. The Base Mailing List contains the names of about 150 concerned citizens; Federal,State, and Local officials; news media representatives; environmental interest groups and communityorganizations. The mailing list is maintained by the installation and updated regularly. Throughout thecleanup process, mailing list individuals and organizations periodically receive community relationsmaterials, such as fact sheets, newsletters, and meeting announcements.

* Official Newsletter. THE EJELSON ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP REPORTis preparedsemiannually to keep the public informed of the status of environmental cleanup activities at the Base.The initial issue dated October 1991 described the Site history and the Eielson AFB InstallationRestoration Program, included Operable Unit Descriptions, and addressed issues including AssessingRisk to the Public, the Innovative Technology Demonstration Project, the Eielson Community RelationsProgram, Current Activities, Public Access to Information, and Key Base Contacts. The second issuedated June 1992 addressed the Results from 1991/Plans Made for 1992, described InnovativeTechnologies being Demonstrated, identified Base Environmental Personnel, continued CommunityRelations Program, and listed Key Base Contacts. A third issue was published in December 1992.

* Fact Sheets. In 1991 a fact sheet was prepared and distributed to individuals and organizations on themailing list describing the Innovative Technology Demonstration Program which demonstrated andevaluated three potential cleanup methods including cold weather composting, vacuum extraction, andbioventing. Two fact sheets were published in 1992. The frwst described the Technical Assistance GrantProgram, which is intended to help the public make informed decisions related to site-specific cleanupstrategies. The second fact sheet, Environmental Cleanup Work Opportunities at Eielson Air ForceBase, detailed who can do Eielson cleanup work, how local individuals and companies might becomeinvolved, and where to go for more information.

Public Meetings. Public meetings will be held approximately every six months to inform the public ofthe Site activities and status of the cleanup. Public meetings will be held during public comment periodson proposed plans. The meetings will provide an opportunity for interested parties to submit written orverbal comments on the proposed plans. At the end of the comment period, the Air Force will preparea Responsiveness Summary responding to public comments that is submitted as part of the Record ofDecision.

* Technical Assistance Grants. The United States Congress included provisions in the SuperfundAmendments and Reauthorization Act to establish a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG). The TAG isintended to help the public make informed decisions related to specific cleanup strategies. The TAGprogram provides funds for qualified citizen groups to hire independent technical advisors to help themunderstand and comment on technical factors in cleanup decisions that affect them. A group can receivea TAG if its members may be affected by a release or threatened release of toxic wastes at Eielson AFB.

3.4Environmental Condition of Property

Eielson AFB has been categorized into three types of areas based on current knowledge of theenvironmental conditions:

* areas of known contamination are subdivided into areas with contaminant concentrations above actionlevels (media-specific risk-based or standards-based benchmarks) and those with concentrations belowaction levels and requiring no further action;

* areas of no suspected contamination have been defined during PA/SI or RI/FS activities or otherenvironmental programs; and

* unevaluated areas are those areas on Base that have not been fully investigated to date. These areasmust undergo further evaluation to determine into which of the categories they can be classified withcertainty. Currently, Eielson AFB has no unevaluated areas.

Figure 3 summarizes the status of information on the environmental condition of installation property interms of the above categories. This figure is based on a detailed large-scale map that shows knowledge todate. To minimize clutter, monitor wells and other sample locations are not shown on the map.

3.4.1Areas of Known Contamination

Areas of known contamination are delineated in Figure 3 and are based upon PA/SI and RI findings to date.Contaminated areas on Figure 3 encompass contaminant sources and their migration via exposure pathwaysinto the environment. Contaminated areas have been subdivided based upon the average concentration ofhazardous substance, pollutants, or contaminants present. Several areas contain concentrations of releasedsubstances above action levels (e.g., risk-based or standards-based benchmarks), while others containconcentrations of released substances below action levels. The boundaries of these areas are dynamic andwill be adjusted in accordance with the results of ongoing and planned sampling. Large-scale maps of eachsource areas are maintained by Eielson AFB.

Page 22: Management Action Planalaskacollection.library.uaf.edu/eafbsc/cd1/AR221-1.pdf · Management Action Plan Elelson Air Force Base, Alaska 22 December 1992 ... Management RPM 1 Julie

Areas of No Suspected Contamination

Areas of No Suspected Contamination (ANSC) and No Further Action (NFA) Areas are delineated inFigure 3 and are based upon the following types of assessment:

* a review of past and current activities in ANSCs and NFA Areas specific to the use of hazardousmaterials or other chemicals. This includes a review of historical records relating to the ANSC or NFAArea, and an analysis of historical aerial photographs. No evidence of potential contamination wasindicated;

* interviews have been conducted with over 40 community members and dozens of current employees,former employees, and other individuals who might have personal knowledge of any contamination ofany Eielson AFB property that is either declared an area of no suspected contamination or a no furtheraction area. No interviewees had any additional knowledge of any practices in these areas that mighthave caused contamination;

*visual site inspections conducted from 1986 to present by various contractors that noted the condition ofexisting facilities, topographic patterns, evidence of environmental impacts, or other observationsindicative of an actual or potential release. None were found. This process is still on-going under theremedial investigation and community involvement process;

* sampling data associated with all relevant PA/SI or RI efforts. All validated sampling data were reportedas "non-detects" for all sampled analytes;

* results of investigations are found in the SER. This document describes the SER process to evaluatesource areas rapidly, without the long costly RI/FS process for sites which show little or no risk or noexposure pathway.

Large-scale maps of these areas, supplemented with sampling data, are maintained at the Eielson AFBAdministrative Record.

3.4.3Unevaluated Areas

As shown on Figure 3 there are currently no areas of suspected contamination on Eielson AFB that have notbeen evaluated and designated as either NFA or placed in the PEA process. Any areas that are identified inthe future will be discussed at Project Team meetings, and determinations will be made whether there isneed for fuirther characterization or whether the area can be listed as NFA. When an area of knowncontamination is addressed through the implementation of a response action, the Base will modify Figure 3to reflect its change in status.

* Chapter 4Installation-Wide Strategy for Envfromnental Restoration

The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the installation-wide environmental restoration and compliancestrategy for Eielson AFB.

4.1Zone/Operable Unit Designation and Strategy

4.1.1Zone Designations

Ejelson AFB does not have any designated zones. All investigative strategy is performed uinder the operableunit strategy.

4.1.2Operable Unit Designations

Twenty-eight source areas have been consolidated into six operable units (OU) on Eielson AFB. Anoperable unit is a unit in which similar types of contamination sources have been grouped together, based onsimilarities of types of contaminants present, source locations, or types of remedial actions anticipated. Thefollowing describes each OU and the sources it comprises. Figure 5 shows the operable units composition

and deliverable dates.

Operable Unit 1. Eight sources that have petroleum, oils, lubricants (POL) contamination with floatingproduct are included in Operable Unit 1. Condition of the area is considered to be well characterizedbecause of field investigations conducted in 1989.

* Source 20 ST'20 Refueling Loop Fuel-Saturated Area (WAP-).* Source 48 ST48 Powerplant Fuel Spill (Gasoline & Diesel).

* Source 49 ST49 Building 1300 UST Spill Site (Diesel).* Source 50 SS50 Blair Lakes Vehicle Maintenance Building (Heating Oil).* Source 51 S551 Blair Lakes Ditch (Diesel).* Source 52 SS52 Blair Lakes Diesel Spill (Diesel).* Source 53 SS53 Blair Lakes Fuel Spill (Helicopter Fuel).* Source 54 DP54 Blair Lakes Drum Disposal Site (Unknown Material).

Operable Unit 2.Seven sources which have POL contamination with floating product are included inOperable Unit 2. However, because the last field investigations were conducted in these areas in 1988, thecurrent condition of the area is considered to be less well characterized than those in Operable Unit 1.

* Source 10 ST1O E-2 POL Storage (MOGAS and JP-4).*Source 11 ST11 Fuel Saturated Area (Diesel).* Source 13 ST13 E-4 Diesel Fuel Spill (Diesel and MOGAS).* Source 14 SS14 E-2, RR JP-4 Spill Area (JP-4).* Source 18 ST18 Oil Holler Fuel Saturated Area (Diesel).

* Source 19 ST19 JP-4 Fuel Line Spill Area (JP-4).

* Source 26 DP26 E-10 Fuel Tank Sludge Burial Pit (Fuel Sludge).

Operable Unit 3. Three sources that have primarily solvent contamination, particularly trichloroethene

comprise Operable Unit 3. TCE plumes are known.

*Sources4 DP44 Battery Shop Leach Field Building (Solvents).*Source 45 WP45 Photo Lab, Building 1183 (Photo Chemicals).*Source 57 ST57 Fire Station Parking Lot (Unknown).

Operable Unit 4. The six sources that were used for land disposal of sludge, storage drums, and asphalt areincluded in Operable Unit 4.

* Source 25 DP25 E-6 Fuel Tank Sludge Burial Pit (Fuel Sludge).*Source 27 S'127 E-11 Fuel Storage Tank Area (Fuel Sludge).*Source 35 SS35 Asphalt Mixing Area (Asphalt, Waste Oils, Solvents and Fuels).*Source 36 SS36 Drum Storage Site (Tar, Asphalt, Waste Oils and Fuels).*Source 37 SS37 Drum Storage, Asphalt Mixing Area (Asphalt, Diesel, JP-4).* Source 39 SS39 Asphalt Lake (Asphalt Cement).

Operable Unit 5. The three sources that involve landfills and potential areas of nearby soil contaminationcomprise Operable Unit 5.

*Source 3 LFO3 Current Base Landfill (Refuse, Oils, Solvents, Paints).*Source 4 LF04 Old Army Landfill & EOD Area (Refuse, Scrap Materials/Drumns).*Source 9 FTO9 Fire Training Area (JP-4)

Operable Unit 6. There is one source for Operable Unit 6. It has been set aside for separate investigationbecause it is in fractured bedrock, as opposed to sand and silt geology seen in other sources.

* Source 38 WP38 Ski Lodge Well Contamination (Fuels, Sludge).

4.1.3

Sequence of OUs

The sequence of operable units are as follows: OUIB, OU6B, 0U2, OUI, 0U6, 0U3, 0U4, and OU5.See Figure 6. OU1B and OU6B are interim actions which will be accomplished first to remove the floatingproduct on the groundwater at the source. The sequence for the other operable units was determined byfirst working on the source area where there is fuel on the groundwater, then moving on to source areas forlandfills, buried asphalt drums, etc.

4.1.4Removal Actions and Treatability Studies

Removal actions and treatability studies planned as part of the Eielson AFB environmental restorationstrategy are summarized in Table 6.

4.1.5Community Relations Strategy

Community relations help the Air Force support remedy selection during the cleanup process, the proposedplan, the RI/FS, and supporting analysis. This information is included in the administrative record andinformation repositories and is available for public comment. At least a 30-day comment period is providedfor the proposed cleanup actions. The comment period will be announced two weeks in advance in localnewspapers. The comments are then documented in a Responsiveness Summary which is submitted with theRecord of Decision. This document describes the communities' comments and Air Force's responses. Thecomplete ROD is placed in the administrative record file and the information repositories with a notice ofavailability published in the local newspapers. A Community Relations Plan was prepared August 26, 1991.Included in this plan are the objectives of the community relations program, which are to:

*Assess existing community concerns regarding planned and ongoing studies at Eielson AFB, including allphases of cleanup activities, and determine how and when the public would like to be involved in thedecision making process.

* Establish procedures for accurate and timely release of information to potentially affected and interestedcitizen groups, elected officials, public interest groups, agency officials, and the media.

*Establish methods to facilitate communication between the Air Force and the community at large.

* Articulate and clarify key issues for the public regarding contamination at Eielson AFB.

* Be responsive to the needs and concerns of public interest groups, agency officials, and the media.

* Receive and understand al the information that the various interest groups have to communicate.S

* Search for a consensus on decisions that are being developed through the process.

Key community concerns and issues will be gauged through public interviews and questionnaires prepared by

Eielson AFE personnel. Other techniques for accomplishing community relations include:

* Developing the Site Mailing List

* Preparing Information Fadt Sheets

* Establishing Information Repositories and Administrative Records

* Holding Public Meetings

* Community Involvement to Support Selection of a Remedy

* Preparing the Record of Decision and Responsiveness Summary

The CRP responds to current community concerns. This is a dynamic process, since community concernsare expected to change over time. As the cleanup process progresses, the CRP will evolve to meet thepublic's changing information needs.

Superfund reauthorization legislation provides for Technical Assistance Grants to qualified citizen groupsaffected by Superfund sites. These grants will enable affected citizens to obtain independent expert technicaladvise in reviewing and assessing technical information produced during work at a remedial site.

* ~~4.1.6Remedy Selection Approach

Remedies will be selected in accordance with statutory and NCP criteria. The Eielson AFB Project Teamwill involve all parties in the remedy selection process who have an impact on the remedies selected at theBase. Particular attention will be given to the following during the evaluation of alternatives:

* Applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs). ARARs for anticipated RAs will befuly identified through Project Team meetings during the RI/ES process to define restoration goals.

* ARAR waivers. The effectiveness of alternatives in reducing concentrations of contaminants tochemical-specific ARARs will be evaluated. Waivers will be considered where treatment to standards istechnically impractical.

* Land use/risk assessment. Risk assessment protocols will incorporate future land use in exposurescenarios where future uses are known.

* Alternative concentration limits (ACLs). ACLs will be considered during the FS as groundwaterprotection standards to be applied at points of compliance for certain on-site plumes.

* Treatability studies. Effective treatability studies will be incorporated into RODs as a foundation forperformance-based remedial actions.

* Applicable remedies. The presumptive remedy selection approach advocated in EPA's 30-day study willbe applied in selected cases. In other cases, focused FSs will be developed for specific sites, especiallylandfills and debris piles.

The Eielson AFB RPM will hold several Project Team meetings early in the FS process to discussconceptual remedies with regulatory agencies to focus the scope of the FS for each source area or OU.

4.2Compliance Strategy

4.2.1Underground Storage Tanks

Eielson AFB's approach to managing USTs is to replace all USTs with above ground tanks, except thoseprecluded because of the mission or its operability. In 1993, approximately 35 USTs will be replaced throughtwo programmed military construction projects. At the completion of this project all regulated USTs will bein compliance with 40 CFR 280.

Two major military construction projects are programmed to begin in FY 93: FT0W933002-ADAI, HydrantRefueling, Oscar Row - $11,800K and FT0W93304, Underground Fuel Storage - S2,500K. Seven USTs wereremoved in FY 92 and site closure is anticipated to be achieved by the end of FY 93. Closure costs areestimated to be approximately $250K

There is an additional planned project to install leak detection systems on 40 different above and belowground tank systems. This project is the first of its kind for large bulk storage tanks. The project isFrQW927001, Leak Test USTs - $1,932K.

4.2.2Solid Waste, Asbestos, PCM, Other

Eielson AFB currently disposes of its solid waste at the North Star Borough's unlined sanitary landfill. Thislandfill is nearing capacity with a projected life expectancy of approximately five more years. To reduce solidwaste the Base has established a recycling program for aluminum cans, metals, and high grade paper. TheBase also has a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Project, FTQW91-'7000, which is programmed to be completedas part of the FY 94 Pollution Prevention Program (PPP). Construction is currently programmed to becompleted in the summer of 1994 at an estimated cost of $1.4M. This project is designed to convertcombustible solid waste into burnable pellets, which will be mixed with coal and burned in the CentralHeating and Power Plant. The recycling program and the RDF Project in FY 94 under the PPP willpotentially reduce solid waste streams by 50%.

Asbestos is an ongoing concern for the Base since the majority of the facilities contain regulated asbestos-containing materials. All buildings on the Base have been surveyed. Eielson AFB currently has a permittedasbestos landfill used by the government and its contractors. An Asbestos Management and Operations Planhas been written to establish management and organizational responsibilities and measures which ensure thatno personnel in Base facilities are exposed to hazardous levels of airborne asbestos fibers.

Eielson AFB recently had six PCB transformers that were purged and four of the six transformers werereclassified as PCB free. The remaining two transformers are scheduled to be purged a second time duringthe FY 93 construction season. The transformers will then be retested to determine if they are PCB free.

A Hazardous Material and Waste Management Plan was written for the Eielson AFB in March 1992. Thisplan requires compliance with all Federal, State, and Local regulations concerning hazardous material/wastemanagement. Hazardous Material/Waste Management has 48 different generation/accumulation points. InFY 92, over 1.2 million pounds of hazardous wastes were disposed of. Over half originated from the sandblasting of lead primed bulk storage tanks. Eielson AFB manages their hazardous waste without aid of anEPA permit. The main accumulation point processes and ships all of the base's waste to the DefenseReutilization Marketing Office within the allotted 90 day time frame. The facility minimizes waste byrecycling solvents (MEK and PD 680) and is currently upgrading its recycling capabilities to begin recyclingantifreeze. Beginning in FY 93, the Base will initiate closure plans for four past and one current RCRAunit. These closure plans are expected to take two years to complete.

* Chapter 6Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved

The following subsections identify technical and/or other issues which require action in order to be resolved.

The issues identified below in some way or another impact current or will impact future restoration activities.

6.1Data Usability

All existing IRP documents and data are reviewed and analyzed to validate existing data and to identify anyand all data gaps that might require additional fieldwork.

6.2Information Management at Eielson AFB

Eielson APR uses the Swansong Computer System which will be broken into four major modules and will beinterfaced by a common graphic user interface. The four modules are: a geographical information system(GIS), a video archival system, a text archival system, and a library of data visualization modules. Initially,Swansong will be a small network of two to five Sun Sparc stations in the Civil Engineering Building used forthe storage of basewide environmental and construction data. Later, Swansong may become a basewide toolused to aid in Base planning projects. Swansong will be connected to a graphics printer, allowing maps to begenerated for field use.

* ~~The GIS is the heart of the computer system. The GIS can provide a map of the entire Base that can beupdated as the Base expands and develops. The individual components or objects of the map are linked to adatabase in which items can be defined. The information in the database is entered according to a format.The development of an appropriate format is done in the planning stages. Queries can be run on thedatabase to allow the user to get certain requested information from the database compiled and theirrespective locations on the Base map highlighted. A comprehensive numbering system, which keeps track ofthe information in the GIS, can be made to be accessible by a networked PC, with the accessible portion ofthe database controlled by the central computer. Maintenance and operations personnel should be able toaccess the required information quickly and easily.

The video and text archival systems interface the G15 database. The video archival system will allow the userto display pictures and videos of an object on the monitor to visually enhance the data. The text archivalsystem will allow the user access to scan or computer generate all documents in the computer associated withselected objects. The data visualization modules will allow the user to plot selected views of the GISenvironmental data.
