SECTION C - PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE CONTRACT

FOR

DEFENSE FUEL SUPPORT POINTS (DFSPs) WHITTIER, AK AND ANCHORAGE, AK;

the INDIAN PUMP STATION, AK, and the EIELSON PIPELINE SITES

BACKGROUND: The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) administers military fuel storage and transportation facilities known as Defense Fuel Support Points (DFSP’s) Anchorage, AK and Whittier, AK. Included in the operations was the Indian Booster Pump Station on the Whittier to Anchorage fuel pipeline. These facilities have been closed except for the pipeline from the refinery located in North Pole, AK to the bulk fuel farm at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB), AK. The facilities consist of bulk fuel storage tanks, pipelines, fuel piers, and bulk truck and rail car loading racks. Details of the principal features of these DESC administered facilities are shown in Appendix “A”. Fuel spills related to the storage and transportation operations occasionally occurred due to accidents or equipment failure. Such spills and leaks at the facility still in operation (Eielson Pipeline) require a rapid response capability to assist in the geotechnical evaluation effort of the impacts of the spill and gather initial information to further characterize and remediate the contamination from the spill. All other facilities are no longer active and cleanup actions are either ongoing or have been completed. Groundwater monitoring programs have been implemented.

SCOPE: As ordered by the Contracting Officer, the environmental service contractor shall conduct Environmental Assessments, Environmental Remediations, and Emergency Responses at the specified facilities. Based on previous experience, DESC has compiled a list of services that might be needed to respond to an environmental service requirement. Additional control, assessment, or remediation techniques recommended by the contractor may be approved for use on a specific response if the contractor can satisfactorily demonstrate to DESC that the techniques are viable for controlling fuel contamination, cost effective, available "off-the-shelf", and are acceptable to state and federal authorities.

a. ASSESSMENT: During the assessment phase of work the contractor shall evaluate the lateral and vertical extent of contaminants in the subsurface, assess the nature and extent of free product that may be present, initiate free product recovery, assess the nature and lateral extent of groundwater and soil contamination, evaluate the geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics of the subsurface, and initiate a risk assessment. Risk Assessment shall provide sufficient information to be used in a Remedial Action Plan.

Typical Activities:

• Conduct soil and groundwater sampling utilizing conventional boring or direct push technology, classification and analysis (field screening, soil/gas survey).

• Install observation and monitoring wells.

• Perform soil and groundwater analyses.

• Perform free fuel sampling and analyses including forensic testing.

• Determine soil fuel contamination and mass.

• Determine free fuel plume size and mass.

• Determine dissolved fuel plume size and mass.

• Perform pump test and analyze data.

• Estimate the hydraulic conductivity (grain size, uniformity coefficient of the sediments, and porosity measurements).

• Initiate interim free product recovery.

• Prepare summary reports of activities.

• Present findings to DESC representatives, regulatory agencies, and the public.

• Conduct risk assessment.

• Conduct treatabilty testing.

• Develop a Remedial Action Plan.

b. REMEDIATION: During the remediation phase of work the contractor shall install a fully functional, safe and reliable remediation system to cleanup the site. The contractor shall conduct concurrent engineering rather then sequential engineering. System development documents shall be produced to industry standards. System drawings shall be created with components which could be site adapted for use on future remediation projects. The contractor is encouraged to use “cut and paste” from previously used systems in order to minimize the effort and cost to develop a remediation system.

A copy of the manifest shall be provided to the Contracting Officer. Reimbursement for the disposal of hazardous waste shall be made CLIN 0014.

e. Proposals shall be based on the assumption that all work areas are accessible to rubber tire mounted equipment.

Additional compensation will be provided under CLIN 0013 or 0014 for access to those areas requiring tracked vehicle or other specialized equipment.

f. The contractor shall make use of all available resources to avoid damaging utilities to include checking "as-built" drawings, utility locating services ( Miss Utility, Underground service Alert, etc.), and electronic pipe/cable locators.

APPENDIX “A”

FACILITY DESCRIPTIONS

DFSP ANCHORAGE, AK

ADDRESS: 1217 Anchorage Port Road, Anchorage, AK 99501

The fuel terminal is located in the Port of Anchorage adjacent to commercial storage facilities. The tanks, rail car and truck transfer stands and administrative buildings have been demolished as part of the remediation process. The former tank farm occupies approximately 69 acres along the western edge of Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB) and is bound on the south by a bluff area named Government Hill. The topography exhibits some relief with elevations varying from 20 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at the west end of the site, to 125 feet above MSL at the top of the bluff. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) approved the final cleanup action and signed the Record of Decision (ROD). A long-term groundwater monitoring program is now in place. The U.S. Army is the property owner and is in the process of transferring ownership of the property to the Port of Anchorage. The environmental monitoring and future cleanup responsibilities will also transfer.

DFSP WHITTIER, AK

ADDRESS: Whittier Terminal, Whittier, AK 99693

The terminal is located on a delta and moraine deposits along the shoreline of the Passage Canal. The site is approximately 60 miles southeast of Anchorage and is now accessible by highway vehicles as well as by water or train.

The major terminal facility is the tank farm located one mile west of Whittier. The tank farm covers about 85 acres and consists of 13 aboveground tanks. The tank farm also contains a pump station and a railcar loading rack. All terminal operations were closed in 1996. The site characterization and remedial actions were substantially completed involving steam-sparging and soil excavation efforts. A long-term monitoring program is in place but additional remedial actions could be required but not expected at this time.

INDIAN BOOSTER PUMP STATION

The Indian Booster Pump Station site is a decommissioned facility located approximately one mile north of Indian, AK and approximately 25 miles southeast of Anchorage, AK. It is located in Chugach State Park. The operation supported the movement of military specification fuels through the 61.7-mile long pipeline from Whittier to Anchorage. Several fuel releases occurred over the duration of the facility’s operation (1967-1993), the largest being a 35,700-gallon (maximum) release of JP-5/JP-8 from a pressure relief valve. Several actions were completed to characterize, contain, and remove the fuels from on-site soils and groundwater. The ADEC issued a letter on November 19, 2002 approving No Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) for the site. A long term groundwater monitoring program is in place that involves an annual sampling and testing event.

NORTH POLE TO EIELSON AFB PIPELINE:

The pipeline was once the northern end of the pipeline between Haines and fort Wainwright. The only section remaining in service is a 12.25-mile section from the refinery in North Pole to the Eielson Take-Off Station at the main tank farm at Eielson AFB. The take-off station sits on about 2.5 acres at the edge of Eielson AFB. There are three sites that have been identified as having been contaminated from past pipeline releases located at Moose Creek, the take-off pad, and at Manchu Road. These sites are currently being characterized. The requirement for future remedial action is unknown.
