Fairbanks Areawide Industrial Reclamation Project ADEC AREAWIDE MANAGEMENT GOALS Janice Wiegers ADEC

Areawide vs. Site Specific Approach  Sites viewed in context with others, not individually  Data can be shared, eliminating redundancy  Co-mingling issues more easily resolved  Variability of scale allows new information to emerge

For ADEC Map site locations Map site locations Determine site status (open, closed, how much work is needed) Determine site status (open, closed, how much work is needed) Identify preliminary data gaps Identify preliminary data gaps Identify PRPs Identify PRPs Possibly involved in data collection, investigation, coordination, cleanup if necessary Possibly involved in data collection, investigation, coordination, cleanup if necessary

Common ADEC Requirements for All Responsible Parties 1)Delineate nature and extent (18 AAC ) 2)Evaluate risk to current and future land users 3)Protection of current & future land users through ICs 4)Cleanup and management plans 5)Consistent and compatible reporting for purposes of information dissemination Proactive and solution oriented

1) Delineate contamination Identify all possible sources and COCs Identify all possible sources and COCs Identify conditions that could result in ongoing releases (buried piping, tanks, abandoned injection wells, etc.) Identify conditions that could result in ongoing releases (buried piping, tanks, abandoned injection wells, etc.) Delineate extent of contaminants in soil and groundwater (on and off-property) Delineate extent of contaminants in soil and groundwater (on and off-property) Long-term monitoring necessary to monitor groundwater quality

FAIR Coordinated Sampling Spring Sampling – 3 rd week in April Spring Sampling – 3 rd week in April Fall Sampling – 3 rd week in September Fall Sampling – 3 rd week in September Common benchmark for groundwater elevation Common benchmark for groundwater elevationProblems Shared groundwater data (EDDs) Shared groundwater data (EDDs) Shared reporting (currently handled by DEC) Shared reporting (currently handled by DEC)

2) Evaluate Risk FAIR Risk Management Zones – Commercial/Industrial FAIR Risk Management Zones – Commercial/Industrial CSM needed for this area CSM needed for this area Hydrogeologic characteristics Hydrogeologic characteristics Contaminant location and transport characteristics Contaminant location and transport characteristics Possible Exposure Pathways Possible Exposure Pathways Are there risks to human health or the environment that need to be controlled or mitigated? Are there risks to human health or the environment that need to be controlled or mitigated? Wells or dewatering activities? Wells or dewatering activities? Indoor air quality problems? Indoor air quality problems? Risks should be mitigated through cleanup or risk management

3) Cleanup and Management Plan What are the site-specific requirements? What are the site-specific requirements? Control risk Control risk Remove source/product Remove source/product Reduce the life of the plume and long-term monitoring requirements (flexible) Reduce the life of the plume and long-term monitoring requirements (flexible) Compatible with the land owner needs? Compatible with the land owner needs? Schedule? Schedule? Plan should balance cleanup and management options with expected site use and cost considerations

4) Institutional Controls Necessary now – not later Necessary now – not later Better long-term management of contamination is priority for DEC Better long-term management of contamination is priority for DEC IC plan should be coordinated with Railroad IC plan should be coordinated with Railroad RP will continue to be responsible when utilities or other parties encounter contamination RP will continue to be responsible when utilities or other parties encounter contamination Compliance review is necessary Compliance review is necessary If managed properly, contamination should NOT prevent property transactions or reuse

5) Information Management Must be able to articulate useful information to the public regarding contaminated sites Must be able to articulate useful information to the public regarding contaminated sites In order to clarify potential liability considerations In order to clarify potential liability considerations Reduce economic impacts - adjacent and future property use/sale/development Reduce economic impacts - adjacent and future property use/sale/development Must know extent of impacts Must know extent of impacts Plume maps Plume maps Estimated areas of soil contamination Estimated areas of soil contamination
