Public Information Meeting Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Southcoast Region 6860 Glacier Highway P.O. Box 112506 Juneau, AK 99811-2506 Main: (907)465-1763 Fax: (907)465-3124 dot.alaska.gov PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE DRINKING WATER DOT&PF was recently alerted to concentrations of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the groundwater at Gustavus Airport. The presumed source of PFAS in groundwater at the Gustavus Airport is the Federal Aviation Administration-mandated use of fire-fighting foams at Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) testing areas. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of manmade chemicals that have been used for a wide variety of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. PFAS are considered emerging environmental contaminants and the health effects are not well known. PFAS discovered in the Gustavus Airport well serving Alaska Airlines and Alaska Seaplanes terminals are reported in concentrations above Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) action levels. Concentrations at the well which serves the National Park Service water system are below DEC action levels. DOT&PF is working with an environmental consulting firm, Shannon & Wilson, Inc., and DEC to identify and sample private water wells south of the airport as well as retest the two previously sampled wells beginning Monday, August 27, 2018. Test results from the samples are expected to be available by the end of September. Public Information Meeting Monday, August 27, 2018, 5:30-7pm, at Gustavus Library The Alaska Departments of Transportation, Environmental Conservation, Health and Social Services, and Administration will provide information. Shannon & Wilson, will attend to schedule sampling times for properties south of the airport. “Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure.” .

  • Notice of Adjustments to Service Obligations
    Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020.

  • Gustavus Airport Stockpile Sampling and Analysis Plan, Gustavus, Alaska
    May 18, 2021 Ms. Sammy Cummings and Mr. Marcus Zimmerman Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities Southcoast Region P.O. Box 110218 Juneau, Alaska 99811 RE: GUSTAVUS AIRPORT STOCKPILE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN, GUSTAVUS, ALASKA We understand the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has requested sampling of the stockpile adjacent to the long runway at the Gustavus Airport (GST) via incremental sampling methodology (ISM). The purpose of an ISM sample is to report statistically defensible mean analyte concentrations within a given area or bulk quantity of material, known as a decision unit (DU). To meet the strict criteria of a representative and reproducible ISM sample result, the sample collection process must adhere to Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance. An ISM sample is a composite of a representative number of subsamples referred to as increments. ISM samples are more robust and representative than a typical composite sample because the entire DU is subdivided into units of equivalent surface area and/or volume. An increment of equivalent mass is collected from each of these subunits, such that every portion of the entire DU is represented equally within the final composite. The location from which the increments are collected within the subunits is determined through some form of random selection to remove procedural bias. Replicate ISM samples are collected at a rate of 20 percent of the overall project ISM samples, or at minimum of one set per area of concern. Replicates are collected to analyze the precision of the method and to calculate 95 percent upper confidence limits (95% UCLs) for the target analytes.

  • Report to the Gustavus City Council Gustavus Water
    REPORT TO THE GUSTAVUS CITY COUNCIL GUSTAVUS WATER ACTION COMMITTEE BY WAYNE HOWELL SUBJECT: HISTORIC USE OF AQUEOUS FIREFIGHTING FOAM IN AND AROUND GUSTAVUS, 1969‐2015 SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 1 PREFACE Most of the information presented here – with the exception of a few tidbits harvested from paper records – was gathered during interviews with 11 people during the month of September, 2019. All of the people interviewed were quite open and willing to offer whatever information they could regarding this issue that is so important to Gustavus. In digging into this thirty‐year history one thing stands out above all else, and that is the dedication service and countless hours that our firefighting volunteers have given to this community. Without their service Gustavus would be a very different, less welcoming place. Also worth noting. I am a citizen volunteer lacking expertise in in the subject matter and with no training in proper survey procedures, methodologies or protocols. This is a volunteer effort on my part to bring together information that our community needed to know, and which may not have been gathered otherwise. Any errors or misrepresentations contained herein are entirely mine. INTRODUCTION The information presented here was gathered through interviews with 11 people who offered information relative to the history of rescue and firefighting preparedness and response at the Gustavus Airport and in the greater Gustavus area from the early 1970s until present. Three are local residents who have general knowledge or specific observations of the topic, while nine are firefighters or first responders with direct experiences. Some people requested anonymity in providing their responses.
