About this file
This document is a technical memorandum from Jacobs Engineering Group regarding an environmental investigation at the Eldred Rock Lighthouse in southeast Alaska. The investigation, conducted in October 2007, was part of the U.S. Coast Guard's process of conveying the 2.4-acre Eldred Rock property to the Bureau of Land Management under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000.
The environmental assessment focused on determining site-wide lead concentrations and evaluating potential hazards from contamination. Key findings included an average lead concentration of 1,492 mg/kg, which exceeded the alternate cleanup level of 1,064 mg/kg. Additionally, residual-range organics (RRO) were analyzed near the paint shed, with an average concentration of 187 mg/kg, well below the 8,300 mg/kg cleanup level. The investigation recommended several potential remediation options, including access restriction, capping lead-impacted soil, or complete soil removal, with the goal of mitigating potential environmental and health risks associated with the site.

Subject Eldred Rock; Project 17-J4199; Draft October 2007 Eldred Rock Sample Results
Introduction
The Eldred Rock Lighthouse is located in southeast Alaska, on Eldred Rock Island in the Lynn Canal, 25 miles south of Haines and 50 miles northwest of Juneau, at 58° 58� 03� N and 135° 12� 02� W (Figure 1, Attachment 1). The Eldred Rock Lighthouse, Alaska�s oldest lighthouse, was constructed as part of a congressional program passed in 1900 to build light stations in Alaska. Construction of the lighthouse began in 1905, and the station was first lit on 1 June 1906. The Eldred Rock Lighthouse was decommissioned in 1973 and is now operated remotely as a minor aid to navigation. The site was converted to solar power in the 1980s.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) defines Eldred Rock as an excess property and is in the process of turning the 2.4-acre parcel over to the Bureau of Land Management under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. The USCG is in the process of conveying Eldred Rock to the Eldred Rock Lighthouse Committee under the sponsorship of the Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center. As part of the divesture process, USCG agreed to remove waste posing a potential threat to human health or the environment at the Eldred Rock site. In accordance with the agreement between the USCG and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), Jacobs personnel conducted a Modified Phase II/III Environmental Due Diligence Audit (EDDA) Site Investigation at the USCG Eldred Rock Light Station. The objectives of the investigation were to determine an average site-wide lead concentration, to delineate residual-range organics (RRO) contamination near the paint shed, and to evaluate the potential hazards posed to human and environmental health resulting from these contaminants. Photographs collected during the investigation are presented in the Photo Log (Attachment 2). The following sections summarize the work completed during the 2007 investigation.
Work Plan Deviations
The Final 2007 Modified Phase II/III EDDA Eldred Rock Work Plan (U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska) identified a defined lead exposure area covering the entire island. Upon completion of reconnaissance activities, the field team determined that samples could not be obtained from the coastal areas, which consisted of large boulders and lava formations. The exposure area was adjusted to include the elevated vegetative areas and a small section of the beach that exhibited signs of recreational use. In addition, soil samples were not collected at the depth interval of 6 to 12 inches below ground surface (bgs) based on consistent refusal less than 1 foot bgs.

Lead Field Screening Results
A total of 45 field screening samples were collected throughout the adjusted exposure area and analyzed using a Niton X-Ray Fluorescence lead screening device. All field screening samples were collected from the ground surface to 6 inches bgs. Sample locations are depicted in Figure 2 (Attachment 1). The average lead screening concentration was 434 parts per million (ppm). Sample locations were submitted for both toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) and total lead analyses as discussed in the following sections. Table 1 presents the field screening results.

Lead Analytical Sampling Results
A total of 45 analytical samples were collected from the same locations as the field screening samples. Subsurface samples were not obtained based on consistent refusal at less than 1 foot bgs. All soil samples were collected from depths ranging between 0 and 6 inches bgs. Eight of these samples were submitted for TCLP analyses based on the highest field screening results.
Total lead analytical results were compared to the alternate cleanup level (ACL) of 1,064 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and TCLP analytical results were compared to the cleanup level of 5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) as defined in 40 CFR 261.24 for TCLP lead. Analytical results were used to calculate a site-wide average lead concentration of 1,492 mg/kg.

RRO Field Screening Results
Previous investigations at the Eldred Rock Light Station indicated elevated concentrations of RRO near the Paint Shop. Field screening samples were collected in 2007 to guide the locations of analytical soil samples to delineate RRO contamination. RRO field screening activities began at the source location as depicted in Figure 3 (Attachment 1). A total of 17 heated head space field screening samples were collected in the Paint Shop area and analyzed with a photoionization detector (PID). The average concentration was 6.3 ppm. Table 3 presents the PID field screening results from the Paint Shed area.

RRO Analytical Results
A total of 10 analytical samples were collected from locations of the highest PID field screening results for RRO analysis by AK103 and by silica gel cleanup process to remove naturally occurring organic material from the sample results. In general, no staining of soil was observed and no petroleum odors were detected during sampling activities. The area was heavily vegetated, with water entering the borings immediately after hand-augering activities. Analytical soil sample results were compared to ADEC Method Two Ingestion Cleanup levels (8,300 mg/kg). No sample results exceeded the screening criteria and the average RRO concentration was 187 mg/kg. Table 4 presents the analytical results.

Notes:
JH = The numerical result is considered an estimate because the analysis was performed at greater than the method holding time and less than twice the method holding time.
JL+ = The result is an estimated value because the analyte failed recovery criteria in the laboratory control sample (LCS) and/or laboratory control sample duplicate (LCSD) samples.
J = The analyte was positively identified but the associated result was less than the PQL but greater than the MDL.
Data Evaluation and Quality Assessment
An evaluation of the data using Rosner�s outlier test from PRO UCL software determined that sample 07ER-SW-032SO (analyzed for lead) was a statistical outlier (31,200 mg/kg) compared to the results of the overall data for lead. The sample was homogenized, split, and each split sample was re-analyzed. The results were 7,990 mg/kg and 5,510 mg/kg, respectively. The 7,990 mg/kg result was used to calculate the site-wide average lead concentration.
A data quality review and ADEC laboratory data review checklists (Attachment 3) were completed by Jacobs, using the Quality Assurance Project Plan from the 2007 Eldred Rock Work Plan for compliance to quality control criteria for holding times, LCS control limits, surrogate spike control limits, matrix spike sample control limits, and laboratory method blanks.
The overall quality of the data was acceptable as qualified. Flagged data are considered usable but estimated. The following data qualifiers were applicable to the 2007 Eldred Rock analytical data.
J � The analyte was positively identified, but the associated result was less than the PQL but greater than or equal to the MDL.
I:\ERS-UR\USCG\TO12 Eldred Rock\COMMON\Eldred Rock Tech Memo\ER Tech Memo.doc AKERS-UR-05F512-J02-0001
JH � The numerical result was considered an estimate because the analysis was performed at greater than the method holding time and less than twice the method holding time. The result may be biased low.
JL+ � The result was an estimated value because the analyte failed recovery criteria in the LCS and/or LCSD. The result was biased high because the LCS and/or LCSD recovery exceeded the upper control limit.
All AK103 non-silica gel extracts were analyzed outside the 40 day extract hold time and are qualified �JH�. Samples 07ER-PS-RRO001SO through 07ER-PS-RRO010SO and 07ER-PS- RRO108SO may be biased low.
The LCS for AK103 batch KWG0713642 (SDG K0709522) had a recovery of 123 percent; the upper control limit is 120 percent. The following samples are qualified �JL+�. Samples 07ER- PS-RRO001SO through 07ER-PS-RRO010SOand 07ER-PS-RRO108SO may be potentially biased high. No other anomalies associated with the analysis of these samples affect data usability. The supporting laboratory documentation is located in Attachment 3.
Conclusions
The following sections present the conclusions for the lead and RRO-contaminated soil at Eldred Rock Light Station.
Lead
A total of 45 field screening and analytical soil samples were collected for lead analysis. The site-wide lead average exceeded the ACL of 1,064 mg/kg with a concentration of 1,492 mg/kg.

Extensive site restoration after removal activities.
Reevaluation of Exposure Scenarios
Recalculate the original risk screening performed by CH2M Hill.
Technical approach may be used at all Light Stations in Southeast
Alaska.
Does not mitigate the source.
Ease of application.
In Situ Treatment
Chemical treatment (i.e., EcoBond) can reduce TCLP concentrations and bioavailability.
Sufficiently reduces the risk to receptors.
TCLP concentration reduction may vary from site to site.
RRO
The results of the Paint Shop samples analyzed for RRO contamination indicate that RRO is not a contaminant of concern. RRO was detected in all samples below applicable cleanup criteria.
Silica gel cleanup was also run on each sample to remove biogenic organics. RRO concentrations were significantly lower after being run through the process. No further action is required.
