EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report summarizes the findings of the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment / Release
Investigation conducted by Alaska Resources and Environmental Services, LLC (ARES) for the subject property near Chickaloon, Alaska (Figures 1-2). The property is owned by the
Chickaloon Native Village Corporation. The spill occurred at milepost 77 of the Glenn
Highway; a highway maintained by the Alaska Department of Transportation (ADOT).
The subject property (spill release site) is situated adjacent to the Glenn highway at approximately mile 77 of the Glenn highway (Figure 1,2). The site is located in the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) Anchorage D-4 quadrangle. The GPS coordinates for the spill site are 61° 47.051' N and 148° 27.248' W. The site elevation is 845 feet above mean sea level based on topographical map.
Fieldwork was conducted October 13-14, 2010. A total of one hundred and one (101) field screen samples and eight (8) soil analytical samples were collected as part of the Phase II ESA associated with the release of 2,460-gallons of diesel fuel. Soil samples consisted of grab samples and all samples were analyzed for DRO by method AK 102 and BTEX by method EPA
8260B. One sample was analyzed for PAH by method EPA 8270M.
Approximately 250 cy of petroleum contaminated soils were excavated and hauled to Alaska
Soil Recycling for treatment by thermal remediation. Groundwater was not encountered during excavation activities.
Analytical sample results indicate that soils remaining in place in the roadbed and fractured bedrock floor of excavation remain above ADEC cleanup levels for DRO and BTEX compounds. Analytical sample MP77GH-02, collected from the fractured bedrock floor of the excavation was found to contain the highest concentration of contamination. The following compounds were detected in analytical sample MR77GH-02: DRO at 13,500 mg/kg; benzene at
0.0687 mg/kg; toluene 11.7 at mg/kg; ethyl-benzene at 28.8 mg/kg; and total xylenes at 133 mg/kg. Site soils down-gradient from the spill site were removed to the extent possible, however excavation was limited by the proximity of bedrock.
ARES recommends the following:
Permanent groundwater monitoring wells should be installed as soon as possible to determine potential impacts to groundwater and adjacent surface waters per ADEC regulations for completion of Site Characterization. A Corrective action Work Plan has been submitted to ADEC for installation of groundwater monitoring wells and is awaiting approval; and
Any future disturbance of soils in the identified spill release area should be field screened for POL contamination in accordance with ADEC regulations. Handling or disposal of soils will need ADEC approval.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Location
The subject property (spill release site) is situated adjacent to the Glenn highway at approximately mile 77 of the Glenn highway (Figure 1,2). The site is located in the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) Anchorage D-4 quadrangle. The GPS coordinates for the spill site
2.2 History
According to the Big State Logistics Inc. (BSL) manager Mr. Brian Evans, a BSL fuel truck containing 8,800 gallons of diesel fuel ran off the road and collided with a road-side barrier at
1615 on October 07, 2010 at milepost 77.8 of the Glenn highway. At 1645 ADEC and the
Alaska State Troopers separately contacted BSL and informed them of the accident. At 1650
BSL dispatched first response environmental cleanup crews from both Valdez and Fairbanks, Alaska. Emerald Services Inc. was also dispatched from Anchorage, AK and arrived on-site at
1845. Emerald Services was able to contain and recover 6,340-gallons of diesel fuel from the tanker and the surface of the ground using a vacuum truck. A total of 2,460-gallons of diesel fuel remained on-site. Containment boom and sorbent pads were used to contain the spill, however it appears that much of the 2,460 gallons of remaining diesel fuel migrated downwards through large cracks in the surface bedrock. Big State Logistics covered the spill area with poly-sheeting awaiting approval to begin excavation activities.
2.3 Site Topography, Geology, and Hydrology
Topography
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Anchorage Quadrangle (D-4) provides topographic map coverage of the site. The bedrock in the spill area is of the Tertiary age
Chickaloon Formation, continental in origin and consisting of interbedded claystone, siltstone, feldspathic sandstone, and conglomerate with bituminous coal beds. The spill area occurred adjacent to the mouth of the Chickaloon River (west side) which flows into the Matanuska River.
The spill area is situated approximately 200 feet north west of the Matanuska River and 260 feet south west of the mouth of the Chickaloon River.
Regional Soils/Geology
A complex of floodplains and stream terraces are found along most of the length of the
Matanuska and Susitna Rivers. The broad, braided floodplains, characteristic of high gradient glacial rivers, are occasionally one mile or more in width. Floodplain features include point bars, cutoff meanders, and back swamps. Stream terraces are generally discontinuous and often narrow in width. Short, steep escarpments between floodplains and different terrace levels are found in many places. Soil parent materials on floodplains and stream terraces include stratifed sandy and silty alluvium of varying thickness over gravelly and sany adducium. Seasonal depth to water table in floodplain soils fluctuates in response to periodic changes in river discharge and water level.
4 March 2011
A variety of glacial landforms and associated features, formed during Twaternary Glaciation, are found above the floodplains and stream terraces at elevations ranging from about 150 to 500 feet.
Glacial landforms include nearly level and undulating outwash and till plains, pitted outwash plains, steep hills, and, in a few places, wind deposited sand sheets and dunes. Soil parent materials include loose sandy and gravelly glacial outwash, friable to firm loamy and gravelly glacial drift, and firm gravelly glacial till. On hills and lower mountain slopes, bedrock is often present within 60 inches of the surface. (USDA NRCS Soil Survey of Matanuska-Susitna Valley
Area, Alaska 1998)
Site Soils
The Glenn highway was constructed in the spill area on a blasted bedrock foundation. Site soils consist of 2 - 8 feet of silty gravels atop of the fractured bedrock. The hillside consists of the remnants of the blasted bedrock mixed with silty gravels and soils. Bedrock at the spill site is generally 2 - 8 feet bgs, fractured and permeable.
Regional Hydrology
The Chickaloon and Matanuska rivers are the dominant influence on ground-water flow in the subject area. Two discharge peaks characterize the Matanuska river: spring snowmelt runoff and late summer precipitation. The depth to groundwater varies in response to these controlling factors. Based on interpretation of USGS data, regional groundwater flow direction is generally to the southwest. Depth to groundwater in the area is unknown at this time. Surface waters nearby include the Chickaloon and Matanuska rivers (Figures 1, 2).
Site Hydrology
Groundwater was not encountered during excavation activities for this project. Depth to groundwater is unknown.
3.0 SAMPLING
3.1 Weather Conditions
An initial site assessment by was conducted by ARES personnel on October 8, 2010 to verify site conditions and to estimate the extent of contamination at the site. Limited field screen samples were collected to determine depth and range of contamination.
Fieldwork related to contaminated soil excavation / cleanup efforts was conducted on October
13, and 14 2010. Weather conditions ranged from 28 ºF - 50º F, with clear skies and winds 0-5 mph.
5 March 2011
3.2 Field Screen Sampling
One hundred and one (101) field screen samples were collected during the Phase II ESA /
Release Investigation. ARES used a MiniRAE 2000 PID (Serial No. PGM7600-110-002244).
The PID was used for headspace screening of samples according to ADEC field screening procedures. The PID was calibrated prior to each period of use to 0 parts per million (ppm) free air and 100 ppm isobutylene calibration gas, using a response factor of 10.
Field screen samples were collected in conjunction with excavation activities and used as a guide to direct excavation activities. All excavated soils that had PID readings ≥ 20.0 ppm were considered contaminated and were temporarily stockpiled on-site before being transferred to a permanent land-farm stockpile on the subject property. Field screen sample showing readings <
20 ppm were considered clean and left in place.
Headspace screening was conducted as follows: Soil samples were transferred directly into a ziplock-type bag. Each bag was filled one-third to one half full, then warmed for 10 to 20 minutes. Temperatures of the soil in the bag were warmed to at least 16ºC (60ºF). Samples were agitated at the beginning and end of the warming period inside the bag to enhance volatilization.
The bags were partially opened after the warming and the VOCs in the headspace above the soil were sampled by inserting the PID probe. The highest meter reading obtained was recorded.
Field screen results are displayed in Table 1. Field screen sample locations are shown in Figure
4.

3.3 Field Observation
Excavation of the contaminated soils commenced on October 13, 2010 and continued on October
14, 2010. Soils consisted of course gravels with a strong diesel odor. Field screen samples were collected at the frequency of at least 1 sample per every 10 cy of excavated soil. Contaminated soils were directly loaded into side-dump trailers and hauled to Alaska Soil Recycling for treatment by thermal remediation.
Excavation took place in two adjacent areas (Figure 4). Excavation area One consisted of contaminated soils on the road-side shoulder. Excavation in this area was limited on the roadside to a 1:1 slope next to the road and in depth by the fractured bedrock floor of the excavation. The maximum depth of excavation in Area One was six feet bgs. Excavation area Two consisted of contaminated soils on the hillside adjacent to the spill area. The excavation in this area was limited in depth by the fractured bedrock hillside. The maximum depth of excavation in Area
Two was eight feet bgs.
The highest soil field screen reading was Sample ID 90 at 2149 ppm. Field screen sample 90 was gathered from the fractured bedrock on the floor of the excavation pit. Analytical sample
MP77GH-06 was collected from this location as well.
A total of 21.5 side-dump truck loads of contaminated soil (approximately 250 cy) were excavated and hauled to Alaska Soil Recycling treatment by thermal remediation. Analytical samples were collected from the base of the excavation and the sidewalls to verify final site conditions following excavation.
3.4 Analytical Sampling
A total of eight (8) soil samples (includes one blind field duplicate sample) were collected on
October 13-14, 2010 from the excavated area to verify final site conditions. Soil samples consisted of grab samples and all samples were analyzed for DRO by method AK 102, and
BTEX by method EPA 8260B. The soil sample with the highest field screen reading was also analyzed for PAH by method EPA 8270M. Soil sample locations collected for laboratory analysis are shown in Figure 4. Analytical sample descriptions are summarized in Table 2.
Analytical results are summarized in Table 3.
Analytical samples were placed into certified clean glass jars provided by Test America.
Samples were handled using disposable Nitrile gloves. To comply with the UST Procedures
Manual for VOC samples, 25 milliliters of a methanol/surrogate was carefully added to the undisturbed soil in the partially filled pre-weighted sample jar so that the sample was completely submerged. Soil samples were collected in order of decreasing volatility. Sample jars were properly labeled and placed into a pre-chilled cooler. The chilled temperature within the cooler was maintained at approximately 4ºC using frozen gel packages during transportation to the laboratory. A signed Chain-of-Custody (COC) form accompanied the samples to Test America.
The COC is attached to Test America’s Lab Report.

Results above ADEC Regulatory Limit in Bold.
Analytical results from the October 13-14, 2010 sampling event found soils remaining in place above ADEC cleanup levels for DRO and BTEX analytes. Based on field screen sampling and analytical results, some remaining soils within the spill area/excavation pit are above ADEC cleanup levels.
Additionally all samples analyzed for PAH analytes were found to be below the method reporting limit with the following exceptions:
2-Methylnaphthalene was detected in sample MP77GH-06 at 2.21 mg/kg.
2-Methylnaphthalene was detected in sample MP77GH-DUP at 2.03 mg/kg.
Both detections of 2-Methylnaphthalene fall below ADEC stipulated cleanup levels of 6.1 mg/kg.
Due to the limits of the existing road and fractured bedrock below the spill site, some contaminated material remains in place. See Figure 4 for analytical sample locations.

4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
4.1 Blind Duplicate Sample
Field quality control (QC) procedures for this project included the collection and analysis of one blind field duplicate sample. The blind field duplicate sample was analyzed for DRO by method
AK 102 , BTEX by method EPA 8260b and PAH by method EPA 8270M. The QC samples were analyzed to assess the quality of sample collection and handling, as well as the accuracy and precision of the laboratory’s analytical procedures.
RPD calculations provide a comparison of two theoretically identical samples that are submitted blind to the laboratory in order to provide an un-biased measure of precision. Due to the nature of the RPD calculation, sample data for both samples must be reported in order for the RPD calculation to provide meaningful data. RPD calculations were computed in Table 4 below for all compounds that had laboratory reported detections for both samples.
The calculated RPDs are as follows:
Table 4: Relative Percent Difference Calculations
Sample ID Compound Equation RPD
MP77GH-DUP
and
MP77GH-06
DRO ( 6760 – 6460 )/[( 6760 + 6460 )/2] x 100 = 4.50 %
Benzene ( 0.0247 – 0.0266 )/[( 0.0247 + 0.0266 )/2] x 100 = 7.40 %
Toluene ( 5.70 – 5.29 )/[( 5.70 + 5.29 )/2] x 100 = 7.50 %
Ethyl-benzene ( 19.3 – 15.1 )/[( 19.3 + 15.1 )/2] x 100 = 24.4 %
Total Xylenes ( 89.3 – 71.2 )/[( 89.3 + 71.2 )/2] x 100 = 22.6 % RPD calculations over ADEC limits of 50% in soil are in Bold.
The ADEC recommended limit for RPD is 50% in soil. The calculated RPD fell within the recommended range for all of the RPD calculations.
4.2 Trip Blank Sample
Field quality control (QC) procedures for this project included the analysis of one soil trip blank sample which accompanied the samples in the field. The trip blank sample was analyzed to assess the quality of sample collection and handling.
In ideal conditions the analysis of a trip blank sample should not indicate the presence of any of the tested analytes in a quantity above the method reporting limit (MRL). A result above the
MRL can indicate that cross-contamination occurred between samples during sample transport or analysis, or indicate laboratory contamination.
Trip blank samples for this project were analyzed for BTEX compounds by method EPA 8260B.
No compounds were detected above the MRL in the soil trip blank sample. There is no indication that cross-contamination between samples occurred.
11 March 2011
4.3 Data Quality Review
The ADEC Environmental Laboratory Data Quality Assurance Requirements (ADEC 2006) and
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Functional Guidelines for
Organic Review (EPA 1999) were followed in this site investigation. The data was reviewed to determine the data quality and to evaluate potential impact on the usability of the data. The review was performed using Level II reports that were provided by Test America, Inc. laboratory of Anchorage, AK. The analytical laboratory repots, chain-of-custody records, and ADEC lab quality checklist is included in Appendix C.
The following quality control parameters were reviewed:
Holding times
Sample handling and receiving

Method Sensitivity – reporting limits and practical quantitation limits (PQL)
The quality control parameters were found to be within accepted limits with the following exceptions:
Samples analyzed for BTEX compounds were either analyzed or re-analyzed out of hold time due to laboratory unscheduled instrument maintenance.
Surrogate recovery outside acceptance limits.
MS/ MSD were outside acceptance limits.
MS/ MSD RPD exceeded the method control limit due to sample matrix effects.
Data quality is impacted due to QC errors for samples collected October 13-14 2010. Data is expected to be biased low due to holding time errors for BTEX analysis. The data for this sampling event is still usable however data should be viewed qualitatively rather than quantitatively.
The ADEC lab quality checklist is included in Appendix C.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This report summarizes the findings of the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment / Release
Investigation conducted by Alaska Resources and Environmental Services, LLC (ARES) for the subject property near Chickaloon, Alaska (Figures 1-2). The property is owned by the
12 March 2011
The subject property (spill release site) is situated adjacent to the Glenn highway at approximately mile 77 of the Glenn highway (Figure 1,2). The site is located in the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) Anchorage D-4 quadrangle. The GPS coordinates for the spill site
Fieldwork was conducted October 13-14, 2010. A total of one hundred and one (101) field screen samples and eight (8) soil analytical samples were collected as part of the Phase II ESA associated with the release of 2,460-gallons of diesel fuel. Soil samples consisted of grab samples and all samples were analyzed for DRO by method AK 102 and BTEX by method EPA
8260B. One sample was analyzed for PAH by method EPA 8270M.
Approximately 250 cy of petroleum contaminated soils were excavated and hauled to Alaska
Soil Recycling for treatment by thermal remediation. Groundwater was not encountered during excavation activities.
Analytical sample results indicate that soils remaining in place in the roadbed and fractured bedrock floor of excavation remain above ADEC cleanup levels for DRO and BTEX compounds. Analytical sample MP77GH-02, collected from the fractured bedrock floor of the excavation was found to contain the highest concentration of contamination. The following compounds were detected in analytical sample MR77GH-02: DRO at 13,500 mg/kg; benzene at
0.0687 mg/kg; toluene 11.7 at mg/kg; ethyl-benzene at 28.8 mg/kg; and total xylenes at 133 mg/kg. Site soils down-gradient from the spill site were removed to the extent possible, however excavation was limited by the proximity of bedrock.
ARES recommends the following:
Permanent groundwater monitoring wells should be installed as soon as possible to determine potential impacts to groundwater and adjacent surface waters per ADEC regulations for completion of Site Characterization. A Corrective action Work Plan has been submitted to ADEC for installation of groundwater monitoring wells and is awaiting approval; and
Any future disturbance of soils in the identified spill release area should be field screened for POL contamination in accordance with ADEC regulations. Handling or disposal of soils will need ADEC approval.
7.0 LIMITATIONS OF INVESTIGATION
This report presents the analytical results from a limited number of soil samples and should not be construed as a comprehensive study of subsurface conditions at the site. The samples were intended to evaluate the presence or absence of contaminants at the locations selected.
Detectable levels of petroleum hydrocarbons or other substances may be present at different
13 March 2011 locations. It was also not the intent of our sampling and testing to detect the presence of soil affected by contaminants other than those for which laboratory analysis were preformed. No conclusions can be drawn on the presence or absence of other contaminants. This is not a geotechnical study.
The data presented in this report should be considered representative of the time of our site observations and sample collection. Changes in site conditions can occur with time because of natural forces or human activity. ARES reserves the right to modify or alter conclusions and recommendations should additional data become available.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Big State Logistics, Inc. and its representatives.
If it is made available to others, it should be for information on factual data only and not as a warranty of subsurface conditions.
