2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Background Information
Drury Gulch and the surrounding area were used by the U.S. Navy from 1939 to 1972 as part of the Kodiak Naval Station reservation. The Navy stored or disposed of a variety of metal and wood debris in Drury Gulch for an unknown period. During the rerouting of the Rezanof Highway in the 1970s and 1980s, most of the metal and debris was removed from the site or buried onsite and the surface was re-graded. Site investigations in 1993, 1999, and 2000 showed that elevated levels of PCBs remain in the gulch. The presence of PCBs in the area is believed to result from metal debris such as electrical components containing PCBs or using soil cover/backfill material containing PCBs.
2.2 Site Location
The location of the Drury Gulch FUDS site is approximately 4 miles southwest of the city of Kodiak, Alaska, along the Kodiak Island Highway, also known as the Rezanof highway, near the Main Gate of the U.S. Coast Guard base on Kodiak Island. The site may be accessed via a gated road north of the Rezanof Highway. Coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard Base Kodiak Police Department is required to access the gate.
3.0 PREVIOUS ACTIVITES
A Decision Document (DD) for Drury Gulch was signed in August of 2003. An Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD), increasing the quantities of contaminated soil specified in the DD, was signed on 24 June 2005. The First CERCLA Five-Year Review Report was signed on 03 January 2012. The second CERCLA Five-Year Review Report was signed in November of 2016.
Remedial activities have been performed at the site. Major remedial activity was concluded at the end of 2008. Maintenance activities and inspections, the installation of a site security fence, and sediment sampling and removal have occurred since then.
The selected remedy chosen for the Drury Gulch site involved excavation and proper disposal of soil with PCB concentrations above 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). The remaining areas of the Drury Gulch site that had been disturbed and/or reworked and contained PCBs in excess of 1 mg/kg were covered with a minimum of two feet of clean fill (Jacobs 2003b). As a result of the Remedial Actions (RAs) performed from 2003 to 2008, approximately 11,034 tons of Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)-regulated PCB-contaminated soil, 9,272 tons of non-TSCA-regulated PCB-contaminated soil, and 450 tons of trichloroethene (TCE)-contaminated soil were removed from the site. Excavated areas within the gulch were backfilled and contoured to the elevations specified in the Construction Specifications and Design Calculations. The intent of the cover design was to maintain the hydraulic capacity of the gulch, promote drainage, minimize erosion, eliminate downstream transport of PCB-contaminated sediment, and accommodate settling and subsidence.
The primary Remedial Action Objective (RAO) for the site is listed in the Cleanup Decision Document and then further discussed in the Explanation of Significant Differences. Included in the Decision Document was the To Be Considered (TBC) ecological benchmark screening level for PCBs in sediment at the site of 31 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg). The RAOs and TBC are further discussed in the Explanation of Significant Differences and in the First Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Five- Year Review Report. The second Five-Year Review Report found that a Protectiveness Determination could not be made until further information was obtained. This included investigating exposed metal debris as a possible discrete off-site source of soil PCB contamination and performing a focused ecological risk assessment to determine the concentration of PCBs in sediment that will be protective of ecological receptors. The exposed metal debris was investigated during a sampling event in August of 2018 (F10AK100701_07.11_0532_a). The sampling event did not find any concentrations of PCBs associated with the metal debris that exceeded any Remedial Action Objective. No further action was recommended in association with the metal debris. The ecological risk assessment requested by the previous 5-year review is in progress. Vegetation has become established through hydroseeding of grasses and growth of volunteer plants (primarily alders and salmon berries) over 90 percent to 100 percent of the cover.

4.3.1 Clearing the Drury Gulch Creek Diversion
As part of the Remedial Action, a portion of drainage water from Drury Gulch Creek was diverted to avoid the water running onto and infiltrating the PCB-contaminated areas of the site.
A small dam with an overflow weir was constructed to divert the water into a diversion culvert.
This diversion culvert is shown in pink on Figure 3 of the April 2021 Post-Remedial Action Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance Work Plan (F10AK100701_07.04_0511_a). The Culvert is 450 feet long and 15 inches in diameter. Portions of this diversion culvert are up to 80% filled with sediment, obstructing much of the culvert. The Contractor shall remove and dispose of the sediment from the culvert. The sediment is not considered contaminated. The Work Plan shall detail how this non-contaminated sediment will be disposed of.
4.3.2 Clearing the Sediment from the Upper and Lower Stilling Basins
The Upper Stilling Basin (USB) and the Lower Stilling Basin (LSB) are stilling basins constructed with the purpose of reducing the velocity, dissipating the energy, and neutralizing the erosive force of concentrated surface water flowing through the site. The stilling basins are constructed with D50 (6-inch diameter) riprap over a liner. Sediment and debris accumulate in the basin over time and must be periodically dredged and cleared to maintain design function.
These stilling basins have filled in with sediment such that the riprap and gravel present in the bottom can no longer be seen. The Contractor shall remove and dispose of offsite sediment and vegetation from the stilling basin in accordance with the April 2021 Post-Remedial Action Long- Term Monitoring and Maintenance Work Plan (F10AK100701_07.04_0511_a). The locations of the stilling basins are shown on Figure 4 of the Plan.
The price for amount material removed and disposed of offsite is unit-priced per ton. The material shall be assumed to be non-hazardous and non-TSCA regulated. The material shall be disposed of off-site. Vegetation removed may be included in the pay quantity. Drawings of the Stilling Basins can be found on pdf page 106 of F10AK100701_07.04_0001_p.
The contractor shall characterize all material removed in accordance with the number of laboratory samples specified in Table 2A of Section 5.3 of the ADEC’s October 2019 Field Sampling Guidance. Screening samples are not required; however, the laboratory samples shall be composite samples of at least the number of screening samples listed in the table. Laboratory samples shall be analyzed for PCBs. Sediment from each stilling basin shall not be comingled with that of the other stilling basin and shall be characterized separately.
The Contractor shall perform all additional waste characterization necessary for disposing of the material offsite. The pay quantity shall be established by weighing the materials with a state-certified scale.
4.3.3 Drury Gulch Design Improvements
The Contractor shall include a discussion of the expected future maintenance required for the Drury Gulch Creek Diversion Culvert; and discuss potential changes that might reduce maintenance, such as replacing sections of the diversion culvert with drainage ditches. The Contractor shall include a discussion of clearing activities, expected future maintenance costs, design criteria including engineered drawings, and costs/considerations for replacing sections of the culvert with a drainage ditch. Engineered design drawings and estimated costs shall be included in the discussion or as an appendix to the report.
There are two previous hydrology studies for Drury Gulch that can be used as references for this discussion. One, F10AK100701_07.02_0504_p, is from 2010, while the other, F10AK100701_07.11_0534_a, is from 2013. A new hydrologic study is not specified.
4.4 Task 4: Reporting

4.4.2 Laboratory Reporting
A cooler receipt form shall be prepared for each cooler of samples received by the project laboratory. The contractor's laboratory shall inspect each sample cooler it receives to ensure that proper packaging, labeling, and preservation practices were followed. All discrepancies will be documented on the cooler receipt form. Examples of discrepancies are: inappropriate sample container or sample container size, broken sample container, cooler temperature outside of the EPA-required 0° - 6° C, missing or incomplete chain-of-custody (COC) forms, errors or discrepancies in COC forms, custody seals, date and time missing from custody seals, etc. The analytical laboratory shall e-mail a copy of the cooler receipt form to receipt.cooler@usace.army.mil within 24 hours of delivery of each Sample Data Group (SDG).
Copies of all cooler receipt forms shall be provided with the associated data packages. All corrective actions taken shall be thoroughly documented in the final laboratory report.
For this contract, each shipment of samples for any task shall be considered an SDG and a final laboratory report shall be generated for each SDG. Each report shall contain a table correlating field sample numbers, location identifiers, and laboratory sample numbers. Each report shall indicate which extraction and analytical test methods were performed and the dates they were performed. Each report shall be provided electronically as a searchable PDF document. In addition, Electronic Data Deliverables (EDDs) shall be included with each final laboratory report. The EDD must be in the Staged Electronic Data Deliverable (SEDD) format, Stage 2a and compliant with the POA Instructional Set. The contractor is responsible for verifying that the laboratory can deliver in these formats prior to the beginning of sample collection in the field.
Electronic deliverables are required to match the hardcopy data deliverable in content; if EDD do not match hardcopy data payment for analytical data will be withheld.
All reported data shall reflect any dilutions and/or concentrations. The dilution factor, if applicable, shall be noted on the analytical report. Such changes should also be reflected in the reported LOQs and LODs; reasoning for dilutions must apparent or detailed in the case narrative.
If dilution is required, data from both runs shall be recorded and reported. If samples must be rerun for any reason, the original run data shall also be included in the report. Chemical data results between the Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) and Detection Limit (DL) will be flagged "J."
