PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Nordale and Denali Elementary Schools Abatement and Demolition
Client: Charles Bettisworth and Co.
Owner: Fairbanks North Star Borough Public Works Department
(Abatement, Demolition, and Remediation)
NORTECH completed a school-wide hazardous materials investigation and developed full abatement design plans and specifications as part of the design team for the demolition and replacement of the Denali and Nordale Elementary Schools. This project replaced the two oldest elementary schools in Fairbanks, each constructed in the 1950s. The hazardous materials investigation included identification and quantification of asbestos containing material, lead based paint, and equipment that contained PCBs, mercury, and or radioactive sources.
NORTECH prepared the abatement and demolition plans and specifications, which included 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% phases. Specific specification sections included environmental quality control, asbestos abatement, UST removal, and civil demolition. NORTECH also provided bidding assistance and construction administration services.
Shortly before demolition, the heating oil UST at Nordale Elementary School was found to be leaking. After removal during the demolition project, NORTECH was awarded assessment of the site and surrounding area through a term contract with the Fairbanks North Star Borough. This petroleum remediation project is on-going and has included free product recovery, off-site groundwater delineation efforts, identification of other potential sources in the area, and vapor intrusion assessments of the new school and an adjacent day care.
This demolition design project demonstrates NORTECH’s ability to succeed within a multi-disciplinary design team for an institutional owner. This project also demonstrates NORTECH’s experience at assessment, design, administer, and monitor high-visibility, publicly funded projects that involve the full range of site civil and environmental tasks.

Arctic Village School Replacement:
Hazardous Material Assessment, Design, and Construction Administration
Client: Design Alaska Owner: Yukon Flats School District (Abatement, Demolition, and Remediation)
NORTECH was retained on the design team during planning for a new school to perform a hazardous material and contaminated site assessment, develop demolition, abatement and site remediation design, and provide construction administration oversight and quality assurance services during abatement, demolition and site remediation related to the existing school. Abatement of hazardous materials and demolition of the existing school and out buildings was completed following completion of the new school.
Additionally, the existing school site was known to be contaminated with petroleum that needed to be characterized and remediated to facilitate re-use of the area as part of the new school campus.
Initial characterization was completed in 2004 and the design was completed between 2004 and 2006.
NORTECH’s work included negotiation of site-specific cleanup alternative cleanup levels with ADEC, negotiation with the school district and local government on treatment of contaminated soil and disposal of asbestos containing materials, and other logistical concerns due to the remote location.
The project was bid in 2007 and construction of the new school began in 2008. NORTECH was retained by the contractor, with concurrence from the owner, to conduct the contaminated soil delineation, segregation, and testing during approximately six weeks of remediation work in 2009. The final surface cap of clean soil was installed in August 2009 and thermal remediation of contaminated soils was completed in October.
The Arctic Village School project demonstrates NORTECH’s ability to succeed on a multi-disciplinary design team and cost-effectively complete both administration and construction tasks. This project also highlights NORTECH’s ability to develop a consensus remediation design that met state and federal regulations as well as local health and aesthetic concerns.

ADEC Sani-Klean:
Site Characterization and UST Removal
Client: ADEC/SPAR/RFA Contract Management Section
NORTECH completed the removal of the under-ground storage tanks and site and characterization activities at the former Sani-Klean Service Station in Moose Creek, Alaska. The primary objective of this project was to close the five regulated underground storage tanks and the two buried heating oil tanks and complete a site assessment for the property. The secondary objective was to remove approximately 400 additional yards of contaminated material from the site.
The excavations and trenches were backfilled, and the site was returned to the original grade.
This project was part of an EPA Brownfields Program that was intended to help transfer contaminated and abandoned properties back into use. On this site, the intent was to use available funds to remove and close the five regulated USTs and evaluate the suspected groundwater and soil contamination through a release investigation. Other known or suspected on-site contamination sources were also investigated as permitted by funding and time. During the project, additional funding was provided to excavate and thermally remediate a larger quantity of contaminated soil than included in the original estimate. Specific activities that were authorized in the scope of work include:
Review of site files, historical records, and work plan development
Removal and disposal of the five USTs
Trenching to identify and delineate secondary source soils and other potential sources
Excavation and thermal treatment of 75 tons of contaminated material with the tanks
Excavation of up to 600 additional tons of contaminated material around the site, Groundwater monitoring well installation and sampling to delineate groundwater impacts

Meridian Gold Cleary Summit Phase 1 ESA
Client: Meridian Gold
Robert Wheatley, representing Meridian Minerals Corporation (Meridian), contracted with NORTECH to perform a standard Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of a portion of the Golden Summit project, north of Fairbanks, Alaska.
The project area is located on the north side of Cleary Summit, located approximately 30 road miles northeast of Fairbanks, and consists of approximately 10 square miles of land. The area had been developed for a wide variety of gold mining activities by more than one hundred different parties in the last 100 years. This investigation provided a summary of prior and current property activities within the area to determine the likelihood of past or present contamination by toxic or hazardous substances.
Surface water, waste rock, and suspect soil sampling was also authorized by Meridian.
To accomplish the objectives of the project, the following services were provided:
Review of relevant documentation of the Site, including aerial photographs and mining records provided by Meridian
Review of state databases for known or suspected contaminated sites and leaking underground storage tanks in the project area
Visual assessment of the property for indications of potential environmental issues and hazardous materials
Interviews with individuals from Avalon Development that are knowledgeable about the project area and its history
Limited sampling of surface water and suspect soil to investigate the potential for petroleum, hazardous materials, and/or heavy metals

UAFS Fort Yukon Tank Removal and Remediation
Client: UAF Facility Services
NORTECH was contracted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Division of Design and Construction (UAF DDC) to conduct quality assurance and preliminary site assessment activities during the removal and closure of a buried heating oil tank for the Yukon Flats Classroom Addition project, in Ft. Yukon, Alaska.
Tank removal was part of a larger renovation/addition project at the facility and NORTECH completed the activities described in the Quality Assurance section of the tank removal specifications.
The scope of work for the project consisted of providing QA oversight prior to, during, and after tank removal, conducting field screening during excavation and tank removal, collecting characterization and closure samples as necessary according to field conditions, and compiling tank paperwork from contractor. This Project also included coordination of remediation of contaminated soil and follow up groundwater sampling event in 2006.
The former buried heating oil tank has been removed from the site and disposed of at the Fort Yukon Landfill. Eight holes, up to one-quarter inch in diameter, were observed in the tank walls and are shown in the project photographs. Soil and groundwater contamination were observed in the area of the former tank and approximately 80 cubic yards of contaminated soil were excavated. Soil contamination remains in place within the structural prisms of the building, the new classroom addition, and the new heating oil tank. The volume of soil remaining above the smear zone is estimated at less than 40 cubic yards. The soil stockpile generated during the tank removal was field screened and met the criteria for remediation through thin spreading in the parking of the site. The thin spreading was completed on the in August 2006.
Groundwater sampling indicates that benzene and DRO exceed the drinking water level in the former tank location. However, the concentration is relatively low (approximately twice the cleanup level) and no known drinking water source is nearby as Fort Yukon is on a hauled water system. Additional water sampling was recommended to follow-up this event in 2007.

Native Village of Tatitlek Diesel Contamination Site Assessment
Client: Tatitlek Environmental
NORTECH completed a Preliminary Site Characterization Investigation at selected locations within the Village of Tatitlek, Alaska, in July, 2006. The investigation was conducted at the request of Tatitlek Environmental to characterize site conditions at three sites within the Village.
The investigation was funded through a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownsfields Program grant.
Two former fuel storage sites were assessed for the potential presence of diesel contamination resulting from past bulk storage and handling of petroleum products and/or the operation of power generation equipment associated with the storage tanks. A third site was assessed as a control site. The investigation included site reconnaissance, interviews with Tatitlek Environmental personnel, field mapping, photo-documentation of site conditions, and contamination assessment of the near-surface soil conditions at each project area.
Contamination assessment was accomplished through the collection of soil samples for field screening and laboratory analysis. Field screening was comprised of visual and olfactory observations, headspace field screening with a photoionization detector (PID), and hydrothermally induced iridescent opthorscopy (hot water sheen) testing of the collected samples. Contaminant characterization was accomplished through laboratory analysis of selected soil samples for gasoline, diesel, and residual range organic compounds (GRO, DRO, RRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylene (BTEX) contaminants.
This preliminary site characterization confirmed the presence of DRO contamination in excess of ADEC Cleanup Levels at each project area, and RRO contamination at two project areas, one in excess of the cleanup level. The investigation concluded that the contamination is related to both past and present fuel storage and handling practices and is not limited to bulk storage facilities within the Village. Recommendations for additional assessment will be necessary to identify the source(s) of contamination and define the limits of contamination across the Village.

The Phase I included a limited hazardous materials assessment and inventory for planning the demolition of the building. The primary environmental concern noted included two abandoned buried heating oil tanks, one of which had been replaced in the 1980s because the previous tank was believed to have been leaking.
NORTECH then completed a limited Phase II direct-push groundwater sampling program to assess the potential for contamination associated with the two abandoned tanks.
Two groundwater samples were collected and the DRO exceeded the ADEC groundwater cleanup level at one of the locations. NORTECH worked with the potential buyer and ADEC to negotiate a limitation of liability. Although the buyer and ADEC reached an agreement, the final language was not approved by the Attorney General’s office and the agreement was not formalized.
The potential buyer purchased property and removed tanks, finding soil contamination that was remediated through land farming. NORTECH complete the pre-demolition inspection and regulatory coordination, developed demolition specifications, and provided assistance during the bid process. This included determining the necessary abatement activities, appropriate disposal methods, foundation removal methods, and termination or relocation of all utility services to the site. Bid documents were distributed and three competitive bids were obtained for the abatement and demolition activities. This project was expedited with the buildings completely demolished within six weeks of the award of the hazardous materials survey.

Illinois Street Realignment Phase I ESA, HazMat Survey, Demo Design
Client: Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT)
NORTECH was awarded a multi-phase project for the inspection, demolition design, and construction administration for six buildings that will be demolished during realignment and reconstruction of Illinois Street in downtown Fairbanks. The six buildings were built between 1904 and 1954 and most had undergone multiple significant renovations.
Work was awarded on a building by building basis as ADOT ROW acquired each of the buildings.
Task 1 consisted of the field work and research for a standard ASTM Phase I ESA and a Hazardous Materials survey for demolition (asbestos containing materials, lead based paint, PCB containing items, radioactive sources, etc.). This data was presented in an interim conference setting to streamline the investigation and reduce the overall project cost.
Task 2 included additional sampling recommended by the Phase I ESA for environmental concerns identified in Task 1 and represented 35% design.
Task 3 consisted of the demolition design for the six buildings, including submittals for 65%, 95%, and 100% design. The demolition design included demolition cost estimates, contractor site control, pedestrian and vehicle traffic control, maintaining access to adjacent businesses, utility disconnection and removal, hazardous materials abatement, non-hazardous building materials removal, foundation removal, preservation of adjacent foundations and nearby buildings, removal and closure of buried heating oil tanks and Class V injection wells, and site restoration for the future road construction. The accelerated design was completed in four months.
Decommissioning occurred over a four-month period from August through November.

BP Annex Building Abatement and Demolition
Client: BP Exploration Alaska
The original Annex 1 facility in the Base Operations Center (BOC) was comprised of a 60’ by 160’ two story dining and recreation facility.
Attached was a 32’ by 320’ dormitory room section with four 32’ by 80’ wings on each side.
In 2006, the building was cut into 26 sections, each approximately 32’ by 45’, for removal from the pad.
Four sections were used for fire training, and the remaining 22 sections where hauled to the West Dock Staging Pad (WDSP) for later disposal. NORTECH was retained mid-way through the relocation effort to resolve hazardous material handling and regulatory issues and facilitate completion of the relocation.
NORTECH was subsequently retained to complete the hazardous materials inspection and develop recommendations for disposal of the 22 sections located at WDSP during 2007. These recommendations were developed into a decommissioning work plan consisting of abatement and demolition onsite and disposal at the nearest approved landfill located in Fairbanks 500 miles to the south.
NORTECH was contracted by BP in2008 to be the owner’s Project Manager Agent for the abatement, demolition, and disposal of the 22 sections.
These sections were now considered to be structurally unsound. NORTECH presented the conditions to Region 10 EPA, the project became classified as an Emergency Demolition, forgoing the requirement to remove the asbestos prior to demolition. This eliminated the issue of removing friable ACM, but “other” hazardous materials, such as PCB-containing ballasts and smoke detectors with radioactive sources, were removed section by section using confined space procedures overseen by a NORTECH CSP. Sections already collapsed were dismantled mechanically in a manner such to minimize damage to the hazardous items and enable workers to hand-pick these from the debris pile prior to crushing the waste for load out.
Universal wastes were removed from each section and four sections were completely demolished and removed from the site in 2008.
F:\06-Marketing & Business Development\GSA\GSA Catalog\2024\2024 Nortech GSA Catalog V2.Doc Page 22
Funding to complete the demolition was not available in 2009 and BP requested that the remaining work be competitively bid. NORTECH created specifications and plans for the remaining work and solicited bids in February 2010. Five contractors bid on the project and contract negotiations are ongoing at this time. The demolition is expected to be completed in July and August 2010.
The Annex project demonstrates NORTECH’s ability to design and administer a multimillion-dollar emergency hazardous material abatement and demolition in the remote arctic. This project also utilized NORTECH’s flexibility in design approach, utilizing both design-build and standard RFP, as well as use as a procurement vehicle within the administration of the project.

UCLA HIPAS Observatory Decommissioning and Cleanup
Client: University of California, Los Angeles
Year: 2008-2013 NORTECH worked on a multi-phase project for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Two Rivers, Alaska.
The project began in 2008 with completion of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the High-Power Aurora Stimulation Observatory (HIPAS), a 130-acre research facility with approximately a dozen buildings.
NORTECH reviewed relevant documentation of the Site, including aerial photographs and Fairbanks North Star Borough records; reviewed federal and state databases for known or suspected contaminated sites and leaking underground storage tanks within ASTM search radii; performed a visual assessment of the property for indications of potential environmental issues; and interviewed individuals knowledgeable about the Site and its history. The Phase I ESA identified multiple environmental concerns, including potential heating oil releases, the presence of above ground storage tanks (AST)s, Mercury contamination related to a liquid mirror telescope, a variety of drums, chemicals, and cylinders, and a wide variety of electronic equipment across the 130-acre site.
NORTECH was subsequently retained for project management of the decommissioning of the entire facility, including removal of all buildings, roads, and other improvements. Decommissioning bid documents to obtain a decommissioning contractor were developed and decommissioning was completed in mid-2013.

Lucky Sourdough Soil and Groundwater Remediation
Client: Ken Murray; (907) 456-6646 Owner: Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, UST Program
NORTECH worked closely with the ADEC’s Underground Storage Tank (UST) Financial Assistance Program (FAP) to close and remove two leaking USTs at the former Lucky Sourdough service station in 1992.
NORTECH conducted a site characterization of the area, including assessment of the soil and groundwater contamination and remediation of the excavated soil.
Initial project efforts included the removal and closure of two USTs, a pump test, characterization of soil and groundwater contamination, including quarterly sampling of 25-30 monitoring wells.
Groundwater contamination was confirmed downgradient off of the property. Modeling and long-term monitoring efforts indicated possible impacts to the public water wells and confirmed that future impact to the public water wells was expected to decrease, permitting ADEC approval of no active remediation off-property with long term monitoring to confirm modeling results.
Site characterization indicated that an active remediation was necessary to address contamination on the property. NORTECH conducted a feasibility study of the property and installed an air sparging vapor extraction system in 1996. NORTECH’s project efforts included the remedial design, installation, and operation of the air sparging and vapor extraction system to remediate contaminated site soils and groundwater beneath and around the existing structures.
In 2000, NORTECH and ADEC determined that the site conditions might permit risk-based closure of the site with additional site characterization, risk assessment, and long-term monitoring.
Additional direct push wells were installed, and the 2001 site characterization verified that the plume size had decreased substantially. NORTECH determined that a dual phase extraction system was the most feasible way to expedite site cleanup with the remaining FAP funds and operated a dual phase extraction system in 2002 and 2003. At the same time, NORTECH completed a study of natural attenuation in the impacted area and determined biological degradation of the contaminants was effective as a long-term remediation strategy.
At this time, the active remediation systems have been shut down for over four years.
Groundwater contaminant concentrations have continued to drop significantly, and benzene is no longer detectable in the original source area. NORTECH, the owner, and ADEC are currently working out appropriate land-use controls and a long-term monitoring agreement for the site. The final conditional closure is expected in 2008.

Acres Kwik Trip Spill Response
Client: Acres Kwik Trip, Phyllis Johnson, (907) 835-2269 Project Duration: 2007- 2013
A surface release of approximately 4,000 gallons of gasoline occurred over a period of several months due to a cracked aboveground fuel line leaking beneath snow.
NORTECH’s initial scope of work was to provide Certified Industrial Hygiene services to assess and provide necessary recommendations for addressing the site and building air quality, health and safety concerns, and the re-occupancy of the site and structures.
Work efforts included reviewing the initial release investigation report, performing the site inspection and sampling and completing informal interviews and discussions with site and spill knowledgeable individuals and preparation of a letter report. NORTECH’s letter provided guidance on cleanup of the site and recommended engineering controls to mitigate health hazards with respect to occupancy of the buildings and site conditions to be met that would allow re-occupancy.
Following the initial cleanup activities, ADEC proposed to use an ADEC term contractor to complete cleanup activities and utilize cost recovery statutes to obtain funding from the owner. NORTECH reviewed the proposed work plan and advised the owner to undertake the effort independently. NORTECH generated and executed an owner and ADEC approved work plan for site characterization in the fall of 2007.
Site work included the excavation of over 40 test pits, installation of three groundwater monitoring wells, placement of a product interception trench with two recovery sumps, the excavation of approximately 200 cubic yards of secondary source contaminated soil and development of an onsite land farm. This effort delineated contamination on the site and adjacent property and identified that contamination had migrated onto additional nearby properties. NORTECH’s report identified potential remediation alternatives and outlined the scope of work for additional off-site characterization.
Site characterization and remedial activities at this facility are ongoing as of the fall of 2010.
