Environmental Baseline Survey – Final iv 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The 176th Wing (176th WG) of the Alaska Air National Guard (AKANG) is located at Kulis Air National Guard Base (ANGB) on leased land at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (AIA) in the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), Alaska. The 176th WG also subleases two buildings on property known as the Jewel Lake Armory from the Alaska Army National Guard (AKARNG), located approximately one-mile northeast of Kulis ANGB. The Kulis ANGB property serves as the main base for the 176th WG, whose mission includes: combat search and rescue, tactical airlift, strategic airlift, air control, and rescue coordination. Activities at the subject site include aircraft maintenance and fueling, aerospace and ground equipment (AGE) maintenance, aircraft deicing, ground vehicle maintenance and fueling, and facilities maintenance. In order to reduce overcrowding at Kulis ANGB, the 212th Rescue Squadron (RQS) is now located at Jewel Lake Armory. Based on the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission recommendation to close Kulis ANGB and relocate the 176th WG functions to the nearby Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB), the respective leases for the subject property and buildings are proposed to be terminated.

This Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) was conducted in compliance with Air Force policy requirements of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7066 Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real Estate Transactions and the commercial American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) guidelines Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E 1527-05). The EBS team used the following approach to survey the property: review available documents from Federal, state, and local sources; interview persons knowledgeable about the property, including Federal, state, and local authorities; and visually inspect the property and surrounding areas.

In accordance with AFI 32-7066, parcels and associated facilities involved in the proposed property transfer should be classified into one of seven categories based on the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final ES-1 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Kulis ANGB

The majority of the 129-acre property of Kulis ANGB proposed for transfer is classified as a Category 1 site (i.e., areas with no releases of hazardous substances) and will be referred to as one site. Smaller areas within the property boundaries have been separated from this classification as follows: eight (8) Category 2 sites (i.e., areas with only petroleum releases), no Category 3 sites (i.e., areas with releases that do not require remediation), four (4) Category 4 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions have been completed), one (1) Category 5 site (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions are underway), no Category 6 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred, but remedial actions have not been implemented), and no Category 7 sites (i.e., areas requiring further investigation). These specific sites are listed as follows:

• Category 1 Sites—The 129-acres of Kulis ANGB property (except as noted below).

• Category 2 Sites—Buildings 00002 (Helicopter Maintenance); 00014 (Refueler Parking Canopy); 00023 (Supply & Equipment Warehouse - parking lot); 00046 (Corrosion Control Facility); 00047 (Aerospace Ground Equipment); east of 00050 (Civil Engineer Squadron); and Former Refueling Station (year 2000 location); Roundabout Road (southern intersection with Denali View Drive).

• Category 3 Sites—None identified.

• Category 4 Sites—Site 00117, also known as (A.K.A.) Site 1; Site 00012, A.K.A. Site 2; Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) Yard (specifically footprint of former Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) 1, 2 and 3); Aircraft Parking Apron.

• Category 5 Sites—Building 00042 (Fire Rescue Station).

• Category 6 Sites—None identified.

• Category 7 Sites—None identified.

Based on Air Force guidance in Section 2.1.3.1 of AFI 32-7066, all property with category codes from 1 through 4 may be transferred without reservations. This encompasses the majority of the approximately 129-acres of the Kulis ANGB property. However, the 0.03acres (1,125 square feet) of the single Category 5 site will require official closure by the State prior to

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final ES-2 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

property transfer. Kulis ANGB has submitted the final cleanup report to the appropriate state agency and is currently awaiting their review and decision. If the state concurs that all remedial actions have been completed as required, this site can then be re-categorized as a Category 4 site.

Based on a review of all applicable regulations, no potential compliance issues were found based on transfer of the subject property to AIA.

Based on a review of the documents, interviews, and visual surveys, two items of concern were noted for the subject property. These items are described as follows:

• Fire Rescue Station has not received closure from Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC).

• A full-scale lead based paint survey has not been completed.

Corrective actions are recommended as follows to eliminate items of concern:

• Base personnel have indicated that the closure report for the Fire Rescue Station has been submitted to ADEC; however, the site is not officially closed until approval is received from the state. Once the site has been closed by the state, this will no longer be an item of concern.

• Based on the assumed future use of the buildings (airport administration), corrective actions are not needed at this time. Future owners/occupants should be aware that the older buildings might contain lead-based paint. If the paint begins to deteriorate or if children will frequent a building, the paint should be tested.

No further study or assessment of the surveyed parcels is recommended at this time. Therefore, it is recommended that the planned property transfer proceed as proposed.

Jewel Lake Armory

The 7-acre property of Jewel Lake Armory proposed for transfer is classified as follows: three (3) Category 1 sites (i.e., areas with no releases of hazardous substances), one (1) Category 2 site (i.e., areas with only petroleum releases), no Category 3 sites (i.e., areas with releases that do not require remediation), one (1) Category 4 site (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions have been completed), no Category 5 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions are underway), no Category 6 sites (i.e., areas where releases

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final ES-3 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

have occurred, but remedial actions have not been implemented), and no Category 7 sites (i.e., areas requiring further investigation). These specific sites are listed as follows:

• Category 1 Sites—POL Storage Shed; Equipment Tent, and surrounding ground surface of these buildings.

• Category 2 Sites—Organizational Maintenance Shop (OMS) and surrounding ground surface.

• Category 3 Sites—None identified.

• Category 4 Sites—Armory Building and surrounding ground surface.

• Category 5 Sites—None identified.

• Category 6 Sites—None identified.

• Category 7 Sites—None identified.

Based on Air Force guidance in Section 2.1.3.1 of AFI 32-7066, all property with Category codes 1 through 4 may be transferred without reservations. This encompasses the entire Jewel Lake Armory property.

Based on a review of the documentation, interviews, and visual surveys, two items of concern were noted for the subject property. These items are described as follows:

• Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) abatement has not occurred for the areas within the Armory Building recommended for immediate abatement in the 1995 ACM Survey, which was conducted and prepared for the AKARNG.

• It is unclear if ACM abatement has occurred for the areas recommended for immediate abatement in the 1996 ACM Survey for the OMS Building, which was conducted and prepared for the AKARNG.

Corrective actions are recommended as follows to eliminate potential compliance issues and items of concern:

• The 1995 ACM survey for the Armory Building identified several areas where immediate abatement was required. As of the date of this draft final report, no abatement has occurred. It is highly recommended that asbestos abatement is completed prior to expiration of the lease and transfer of the property back to MOA. It may be determined that the AKARNG is the responsible party for this abatement as they are the legal owners of the building and the AKANG leases the property.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final ES-4 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

• The 1996 ACM survey for the OMS Building identified several areas where immediate repair or removal of asbestos was required. As of the date of this draft final report, no documentation has been provided regarding whether or not actions have been taken in regards to the ACM. However, it is unlikely that any abatement has occurred based on the knowledge that no abatement has occurred at the Armory Building. It is highly recommended that asbestos abatement be completed prior to the expiration of the lease and transfer of the property back to MOA. It may be determined that the AKARNG is the responsible party for this abatement as they are the legal owners of the building and AKANG leases the property.

The status of ACM in the OMS Building at the Jewel Lake Armory is unknown at this time. It is known that asbestos abatement has not occurred at the Armory Building. These buildings are owned by the AKARNG and the condition of these buildings has not changed while being leased to the AKANG. Any further investigation for ACM and any resulting abatement of existing ACM would be the responsibility of the AKARNG. Therefore, further study or assessment of the surveyed parcels by the AKANG is not recommended. It is recommended that the planned property transfer proceed as proposed.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE SURVEY

This Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) was conducted in compliance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7066 Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real Estate Transactions and the commercial guidelines of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E 1527-05). The EBS is conducted as environmental due diligence for real estate transactions to enable the involved parties to qualify for the innocent landowner defense. The objective of this EBS was to analyze existing documentation, conduct visual surveys, and interview appropriate personnel to document the environmental conditions of Kulis Air National Guard Base (ANGB) and the property known as Jewel Lake Armory. A legal definition of each property is provided in Section 1.3.

This EBS contains eight sections and eight appendices. Section 2 presents the methodology used in preparing this EBS. Sections 3 and 4 present findings for the subject property and adjacent properties, respectively. Section 5 discusses issues related to regulatory compliance, and Section 6 presents the conclusions of the EBS. Recommendations are provided in Section 7, and a certification of the EBS is included in Section 8.

Appendix A lists the acronyms and terms used in this document and their definitions. Appendix B lists the references that were used in preparing this report. Appendix C shows the historical maps and aerial photographs that were reviewed for this study. The state and Federal environmental database search information is provided in Appendix D. The building surveys and site photographs are shown in Appendix E and Appendix F, respectively. Appendix G contains copies of the interview forms and Appendix H lists the preparers.

1.2 PROPOSED USE OF PROPERTY

Kulis ANGB

The 176th Wing (WG) of the Alaska Air National Guard (AKANG) operates out of Kulis ANGB, located at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (AIA) in Anchorage, Alaska. Kulis ANGB is approximately 129 acres in size. Kulis ANGB has been selected for closure

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 1-1 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission. The 176th WG of the AKANG will be relocated to Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB). The property and buildings are proposed for use as administration purposes for the AIA through property transfer.

Jewel Lake Armory

Jewel Lake Armory is a 7-acre parcel of land currently owned by the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), located approximately one mile northeast of Kulis ANGB. The Alaska National Guard (AKARNG) leased the property in 1960 for a period of 50 years from the MOA. In 1991, the AKARNG relocated to Camp Denali at Fort Richardson. Due to overcrowding at the Kulis ANGB, the AKANG reorganized facility utilization and relocated certain base functions and personnel to the Armory Building located at Jewel Lake Armory around May 1992. At the time of the relocation, several construction projects were under consideration to relieve the overcrowding at Kulis. However, the projects were not completed due to the closure of Kulis under the BRAC decisions of 2005. In 2001, the AKANG and AKARNG signed a lease agreement for the Organizational Maintenance Shop (OMS) and Armory Buildings at Jewel Lake Armory. This lease will expire in March of 2010. Additionally, the current lease between MOA and the AKARNG will expire in July of 2010. In a letter dated February 2, 2007, the MOA stated that the lease would not be renewed. The proposed use of the property by the MOA is not clear, however, all ownership rights will be restored to the MOA upon expiration of the lease.

The location of AIA in relation to the two subject properties is depicted on Figure 1.2.1.

2. SURVEY METHODOLOGY

2.1 APPROACH AND RATIONALE

This EBS was conducted in compliance with Air Force policy requirements of AFI 32-7066 Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real Estate Transactions and the commercial ASTM guidelines Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E 1527-05). The EBS team used the following approach to survey the property: review available documents from Federal, state, and local sources; interview persons knowledgeable about the property, including Federal, state, and local authorities; and visually inspect the property and surrounding areas. Terms used in this document and their definitions are provided in Appendix A.

2.2 DOCUMENTS REVIEWED

The EBS team examined all documents provided by the 176th WG and the AKARNG that contained information on the environmental condition of the Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory. These included Hazardous Waste Management Plan, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Spill Prevention and Response Plan, Installation Restoration Program (IRP) documents, tank removal documents, closure letters, previous EBSs, Asbestos Management Plans, and Cultural Resource Surveys. A complete list of the documents used to prepare this survey is provided in Appendix B.

Documents from Federal, state, and local offices also were examined to provide background information on the property and surrounding areas. Historical aerial photographs and maps found in the 1998 EBS for the Armory Building, 2003 EBS for Kulis ANGB, Environmental Database Research, Inc (EDR) reports, and obtained from the MOA Geographic Information Systems (GIS) department are listed in Tables 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. Aerial photographs from these tables are provided in Appendix C. In addition, all relevant Federal and state environmental databases (e.g., leaking underground storage tank [LUST] lists, emergency spill response reports, and hazardous waste generation files) were searched to determine which sites in the surrounding area have the potential to negatively affect the proposed property. The Federal and state environmental database searches are provided in Appendix D.

The topographic map indicates two small water bodies present on the Topographic 1979 1:25,000 USGS property but no aerials suggest the map presence of surface water – nor did the 2008 site visit. The topographic map shows what would appear to be a rectangular manmade structure with water in it just south of the present day POL area, a similar shaped structure is visible in the 1970 aerial photo but its use is not apparent. The structure is not present in the 1980 aerial image or the 1994 Topographic map. Development of the commercial aviation property immediately west of the ANGB can be seen with four large hangars constructed.

3. FINDINGS FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY

3.1 HISTORICAL AND CURRENT LAND USE

Kulis ANGB

The site history for the Kulis ANGB was obtained through lease documents, long-time employee interviews, IRP documents, a cultural resources survey and previous EBSs.

The earliest known usage of the property was as an undeveloped parcel of land. Based on the known history of southern Alaska, it is very likely Alaska Natives once used the property as hunting grounds. According to information provided in the Chain of Title, the first owner of record for the property was the State of Alaska.

The property has been a Military Establishment since March 17, 1955 when the 144th Air Transport Squadron (ATS) was relocated from Elmendorf AFB. Different types of aircraft have been assigned to Kulis over the years. Today the 176th WG flies HH-60G helicopters, C-130 Hercules aircraft and HC-130 aircraft. The 176th WG provides trained aircrews and support personnel for airlift and airdrop missions. A chain-of-title for each parcel is provided in Table 3.1.1.

Jewel Lake Armory

The site history for the Jewel Lake Armory was obtained through lease documents, and the 1998 EBS.

The Jewel Lake Armory property was undeveloped before the National Guard leased the site from the MOA in 1960 (approximately 7 acres). The Armory and OMS facilities were completed in 1961 and 1965, respectively. The AKARNG used the property for training, and equipment and vehicle storage until 1991 when they relocated to Camp Denali at Fort Richardson, located northwest of Anchorage, Alaska. An indoor firing range located within the Armory Building was in operation until 1987. A Use Agreement between the AKARNG and the AKANG was initiated in 1992. This agreement allows several units from Kulis ANGB to use the Armory Building for administrative purposes and for vehicle and equipment storage. Table 3.1.3 lists the historical uses of the Armory Building (Air National Guard [ANG], 1998a).

This table refers to Armory building only. NA – Not Applicable

A formal lease was entered into on March 16, 2001 between the AKARNG and AKANG establishing exclusive use of the approximately 31,354 ft2 of space located in two, one-story structures (Armory and OMS Buildings) and the surrounding parking area and unrestricted ingress/egress to the facilities located at 4902 Spenard Road. The original lease was for the time period beginning January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2005, with an option to renew until March 2, 2010, prior to expiration of the 50-year lease between MOA and AKARNG. In August 2005, the AKANG did opt to renew the lease until March 2010. In a letter dated February 2,

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-8 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

2007, MOA concluded that it would not be beneficial to the MOA to further extend the long- term lease between the AKARNG and MOA. Therefore, the current lease will expire on July 31, 2010.

Currently the AKANG is the only occupant at Jewel Lake Armory. The only unit that currently operates here is the 212th Rescue Squadron (RQS). The Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM) unit formerly operated out of the Jewel Lake Armory property as well but has since relocated back to Kulis ANGB. The property is utilized for administration, equipment and vehicle storage purposes.

Real property documents were not provided to the EBS team for the Jewel Lake Armory property. Currently the property at 4902 Spenard Road in Anchorage, Alaska contains one temporary and three permanent structures. Two of the permanent structures (OMS and Armory Buildings) comprise a square footage of 31,214. The square footage of the remaining permanent structure (known as Petroleum, Oil and Lubricant [POL] Storage Shed) and the temporary tent was not provided to the EBS team. The existing buildings and infrastructure of the Jewel Lake Armory property is shown on Figure 3.1.2. Table 3.1.4 shows a summary of the buildings at the property. These structures are described in the building surveys (see Appendix E) and displayed in photographs in Appendix F.

3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING

The following sections describe the environmental setting of the Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory vicinity and include information on climate, topography, geology, soils, surface water, and groundwater.

3.2.1 Climate

The climate in Anchorage, Alaska is defined as subarctic due to its short, cool summers. The area is influenced by the proximity of the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet. Summers tend to be mild and rainy and winters are cold. The average daily high temperature in July is 65 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The highest afternoon temperatures occur from May through September and range between the mid-fifties and mid-sixties with temperatures above 84°F occasionally occurring. The average daily low temperature of -13°F occurs in January (United States Department of Agriculture [USDA], 2001; World Climate Website, 2009).

The average annual precipitation is 15.9 inches per year, with approximately one-half the annual rainfall occurring from July through October. The average seasonal snowfall is about 70 inches. The greatest snow depth at any one time during the period of record was 147 inches. Including evapotranspiration, the average net precipitation is 87 inches per year. Owing to its proximity to active volcanoes, ash hazards are a significant, though infrequent, occurrence (USDA, 2001; World Climate Website, 2009).

3.2.2 Topography

According to USGS topographic maps, the topography of the Kulis ANGB generally slopes down to the west-northwest and to the east-northeast. Surface elevations range from 90 feet above mean sea level (msl) in the northeast part of Kulis ANGB to 170 feet above msl in the central southern portion as shown in Figure 3.2.2.1 (USGS, 1979).

According to USGS topographic maps, the topography of the Jewel Lake Armory is relatively flat with a slight slope down to the west-northwest. The average surface elevation is 79 feet above msl with no significant elevation ranges within the property boundary as shown in Figure 3.2.2.2 (USGS, 1979; EDR, 2009).

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-14 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

3.2.3 Geology

Both properties are located within the Anchorage Basin. A westward thickening wedge of unconsolidated deposits overlying bedrock characterizes the geology of the Anchorage Basin. In general, the unconsolidated deposits consist of interbedded layers of Quaternary-age glacial deposits, which range in thickness from less than one foot near the base of the Chugach Mountains to over 1,300 feet at the western limits of the Anchorage Basin near Point Campbell (ANG, 2005).

3.2.4 Soils

According to the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) maps, five different types of soils are located within the Kulis ANGB property boundary, as shown in Figure 3.2.4.1 and one type of soil (Cryorthents and Urban Land (0-5% slope) is located within the Jewel Lake Armory property boundary, as shown in Figure 3.2.4.2 (USDA, 2001).

Each of these soil types is described as follows:

• Cryorthents and Urban Land (0-5% slope)- This soil is derived from glacial sediments and is a very gravelly sandy loam with moderate permeability. Runoff is low and it has no flooding or ponding potential.

• Cryorthents and Urban Land (5-20% slope)- This soil is derived from glacial sediments and is a very gravelly sandy loam with moderate permeability. Runoff is low and it has no flooding or ponding potential.

• Matsu Silt Loam (0-3% slope)- This soil is derived from mixed alluvium. The surficial layer is moderately decomposed plant material with moderately rapid permeability, and then from four to sixty inches it is silt loam with moderate permeability.

• Smithfha- Anchorpark complex, undulating and hilly- This is well drained soil derived from coarse, loamy eolian deposits. The surficial layer is moderately decomposed plant material with moderately rapid permeability, and then from four to sixty inches it is loamy very fine sand with moderately rapid permeability.

• Smithfha loamy very fine sand, undulating and steep- This is well drained soil derived from coarse, loamy eolian deposits. The surficial layer is moderately decomposed plant material with moderately rapid permeability, and then from four to sixty inches it is loamy very fine sand with moderately rapid permeability.

3.2.5 Surface Water

According to aerial photographs, there are no ponds, streams, or open bodies of water on the Kulis ANGB or the Jewel Lake Armory. However, the 1979 and 1994 USGS topographic maps indicate small bodies of water within the ANGB property as previously discussed in Table 2.2.1. However, the aerial photographs and site visit do not support this information. The principal source of surface water in the Anchorage area is from annual precipitation, much of it as snowfall. (ANG, 1998a; USGS, 1979; 1994)

The surface water runoff from the majority of the Kulis ANGB discharges into storm drain inlets and catch basins that discharge through a storm drain network to five separate outfalls. All storm water drainage systems on the base eventually discharge into either the AIA storm drainage system, the lakes east of the base (Meadow and Delong Lakes), or an unnamed pond located outside the southwest corner of the base. The surface water runoff from Jewel Lake Armory discharges north toward Spenard Lake. Spenard Lake, a man-made lake used primarily for recreational purposes, including floatplane access, is located approximately 200 feet to the north. (ANG, 1998a; 2004b; 2005)

According to the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) survey, there are no designated wetlands on the property. However, wetlands are found just outside of both property boundaries. These wetlands are shown in Figures 3.2.5.1 and 3.2.5.2 and are described as follows:

• Freshwater Emergent Wetlands – these wetlands are nontidal, dominated by trees, shrubs, emergents, mosses and lichens. Surface water is present for extended periods especially early in the growing season, but is absent by the end of the growing season in most years. The water table, after flooding ceases, is variable extending from saturated at the surface to a water table well below the ground surface.

• Freshwater Pond – Nontidal, dominated by trees shrubs, emergents, mosses and lichens. Includes all wetlands and deepwater habitats with at least 25% cover of particles smaller than stones (less than 6-7 centimeters [cm]), and a vegetative cover less than 30%. Water covers the land surface throughout the year in all years. Created or modified by a man-made barrier or dam which obstructs the inflow or outflow of water.

• Lake – Any Lacustrine system lacking trees, shrubs or other vegetation. Includes all wetlands and deepwater habitats with at least 25% cover of particles smaller than

stones (less than 6-7 cm), and a vegetative cover less than 30%. Water covers the land surface throughout the year in all years.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) insurance maps, the Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory property are located within Flood Zone C; areas of minimal flooding. There are no portions of the property located within the 100- or 500-year floodplains (FEMA, 1990).

3.2.6 Groundwater

Groundwater beneath the property is found within two different aquifers. Each of these aquifers is described as follows: Unconsolidated deposits comprise a system of unconfined and confined aquifers in the area of what is commonly know at the Anchorage Bowl. The unconfined aquifer is the surficial granular unit, and the confined aquifer is the lower granular unit. The Bootlegger Cove clay acts as the confining boundary between the upper and lower aquifers. The Bootlegger Cove unit changes facies trending east to west from cohesive to somewhat cohesive to non-cohesive in the region of the Base. Where the surficial granular deposits “pinch out” in the western portion near the Base, it is likely that the unconfined aquifer is not present. Groundwater elevations in the unconfined aquifer range from approximately 300 feet above msl at the base of Chugach Mountains to sea level at Cook Inlet. Based on this information, the regional direction of groundwater flow in the unconfined aquifer is generally westward toward Cook Inlet. Recharge to the aquifers is provided by precipitation, surface water infiltration, and recharge from bedrock (ANG, 2005).

Depth to groundwater in the vicinity of the Kulis ANGB site is approximately 85 feet below ground surface (bgs). Groundwater is relatively shallow and unconfined beneath the Jewel Lake Armory property, ranging between five and eight feet bgs with significant recharge during the spring thaw. Generally, the water table depth corresponds to the surface elevation of Spenard Lake, which is located 200 feet north of the Jewel Lake Armory. The direction of groundwater flow is unknown due to no dominant hydrological feature in the area. No consistent trend has been observed in monitoring well data, and the region’s underlying soil has varying properties. However, based on the regional direction of groundwater flow in the unconfined aquifer reported as generally westward toward Cook Inlet and the topographic gradient reported as west-northwest and east-northeast, it can be assumed the groundwater flow in the vicinity of the properties is most likely to the west and/or north. (ANG 1998a; EDR, 2008)

There are no water supply wells within a one-mile radius of the property. However, there are 76 inactive USGS water wells within a one-mile radius of the property. These wells were installed and monitored by the USGS intermittently between 1949 and 1990. The USGS

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-22 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

maintains one water well in Anchorage, Alaska; however, this well is located outside of the one- mile radius of the property (EDR, 2008).

3.3 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

The EBS team conducted a visual inspection of each building and the surrounding terrain to find evidence of the storage, disposal, or release of hazardous substances. The areas of concern within the Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory are discussed in the following paragraphs.

3.3.1 Hazardous Materials and Petroleum Products

Kulis AGS

Hazardous materials and petroleum products are used throughout the Kulis ANGB for various functions, including vehicle fueling and maintenance, aircraft fueling and maintenance, other general maintenance, welding, and metal cutting. These activities require the use of petroleum-based lubricants, oxygen, carbon dioxide, antifreeze, batteries, sealants, diesel fuel, various paints, adhesives, hydraulic fluid, JP-8, various cleaners, acetylene, nitrogen, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and Freon. The hazardous materials currently stored within each building and their spill history is listed in Table 3.3.1.1.

Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 (demolished), 15, 16, 17, 18 (demolished), 21, 22, 30, 41 and 47 were built prior to enactment of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in 1976. Before this time, there were few Federal regulations regarding the management and disposal of hazardous waste. Regulation of these materials was primarily the responsibility of state and local governments. Many waste management methods that are prohibited today were considered standard practices before RCRA. However, enforcement of RCRA did not occur until November 18, 1980; therefore, any pre-1980 construction buildings that have contained hazardous materials or petroleum products (e.g., vehicle or aircraft maintenance, vehicle storage, fueling operations, or chemical storage) are suspected for hazardous material or petroleum spills. Buildings built before 1980 that were found not to have contained hazardous materials or petroleum products (i.e., barracks, offices, and administration)

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-23 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

are not suspected for hazardous material or petroleum spills because it is unlikely that those materials ever were brought into the buildings.

All other information was obtained during the site visit. NA- Not applicable.

All spills noted in this table were reportedly cleaned up as the spills occurred. In addition to the spills noted in Table 3.3.1.1, releases have occurred at various underground storage tank (UST) locations and at one aboveground storage tank (AST) location. These spills were remediated and are discussed further in Section 3.3.4. The EBS team did not observe any evidence of hazardous material or petroleum releases during the site visit.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-28 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Jewel Lake Armory

Hazardous materials and petroleum products have been and are currently used throughout the Jewel Lake Armory buildings for various functions, including vehicle fueling and maintenance, and general building maintenance. The AKRNG historically used cleaning solvents, sulfuric acid and antifreeze for vehicle maintenance activities. Cleaning solvents were occasionally disposed of onto the property in the mid-1960s. However, no contamination from this practice has been reported. Additionally, diesel and gasoline were stored in USTs for vehicle fueling (ANG, 1998a).

Currently the AKANG stores small amounts of hazardous materials and petroleum products on the subject property. The hazardous materials currently stored within each building and their spill history is listed in Table 3.3.1.2.

Both the Armory Building and the OMS Building were built prior to enactment of the RCRA in 1976. It is unknown when the POL Shed was built. Therefore both areas were investigated for signs of hazardous material or petroleum spills, such as stressed vegetation. No signs of spills were noted during the site visit (BEM, 2008).

In addition to the spills noted in Table 3.3.1.2, releases occurred at two USTs, which were removed in 1991. The spills were remediated and are discussed further in Section 3.3.4. The EBS team did not observe any evidence of hazardous material or petroleum releases during the site visit. (ANG, 1998a; BEM, 2008)

3.3.2 Hazardous and Petroleum Wastes

Kulis ANGB

Hazardous and petroleum wastes are generated throughout the Kulis ANGB during various operations, including vehicle, aircraft, and Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) maintenance, welding, machining, painting, sanding, washing, and other standard daily operations. These hazardous and petroleum wastes include several types of batteries, solvent- contaminated solids, solder and associated brushes and sponges, vacuum tubes, washer oil

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-30 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

sludge, wash water, used oils, calibration fluid, lubricating fluids, welding electrodes, metal chips (some containing cadmium), unserviceable munitions, respirator cartridges, spray cans, oil/hydraulic fluid pads, light stand bulbs, Halogen and specialty bulbs, filters, oily rages, film scraps, developer, isopropyl alcohol, acid waste, paints, solvents and thinners, circuit and computer boards, bio-medical waste, vacuum dust, bead blast media, antifreeze, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) ballasts. The hazardous and petroleum wastes currently generated in each building are summarized in Table 3.3.2.1. (ANG, 2004a)

A hazardous waste generation point is where a waste is initially created or generated. After generation, the hazardous waste must be transferred immediately to an initial (satellite) accumulation point (SAP) or an accumulation site. Waste cannot be accumulated or stored at the generation point unless the area has been designated as an approved accumulation area. There are 39 hazardous waste generation points (HWGPs) at Kulis ANGB; 35 of these points are also SAPs and two are accumulation sites. According to the personnel interviews, there is one central accumulation point (CAP) located behind building 6. The materials and quantities vary, at the site depending on base needs. Three storage sheds are dedicated as temporary storage for hazardous waste generated throughout the base prior to pick up by a subcontractor. One storage shed contains empty drums, one storage shed contains bulbs and non-flammable waste, and one shed contains hazardous waste. The storage sheds act as secondary containment. In the event that the storage sheds are full, overflow hazardous waste storage is stored within the center room of Building 5. No spills are associated with either accumulation site. These locations are shown in Figure 3.3.2.1. (ANG, 2004a; Weaver, 2008)

The EBS team searched for evidence of the storage, disposal, or release of hazardous or petroleum wastes during the visual inspection. No spills or release were observed during the site

visit.

Jewel Lake Armory

Hazardous wastes generated at Jewel Lake Armory generally are from rescue missions completed by the 212th RQS. These wastes are collected within the Armory building. The hazardous wastes include munitions, chemical mask filters, expired medical supplies, and medical waste. The hazardous and petroleum wastes currently generated in the building are summarized in Table 3.3.2.2. The Armory Building is also considered a SAP, as shown in Figure 3.3.2.2.

Vehicle maintenance activities did occur at the OMS Building in the past by the AKARNG. These activities involved the use of cleaning solvents, sulfuric acid and antifreeze. According to the 1998 EBS, these cleaning solvents were occasionally disposed onto the Jewel Lake Armory property in the mid 1960s. However, no contamination from this practice has been reported. Additionally, floor drains within the OMS building previously drained into a dry well 100 feet south of the facility. The dry well collected washdown runoff from vehicle maintenance activities between 1965 and 1984, when the OMS was scheduled to be connected to the city sewer line. Benzene, a component of hydrocarbon and petroleum compounds, has been detected in groundwater at levels above Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) regulations. One possible source of the benzene contamination is the two leaking USTs removed in 1991 (ANG, 1998a).

3.3.3 Installation Restoration Program Sites

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) IRP is designed to identify, evaluate, and remediate sites where activities may threaten public health, welfare, or the environment.

Kulis ANGB

IRP Investigations

The property was investigated under the IRP in 1986 with a Phase I Records Review Search, summarized below:

• Phase I Records Review Search – (Hazard Materials Testing Center [HMTC], 1986) — The Phase I Records Search concluded that there was a lack of any positive presence of hazardous waste and the absence of data indicating anything other than minor spills of waste materials resulted in a finding of No Significant Impact. Additionally it was concluded that the Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM) assessment was unnecessary. Therefore, Air Nation Guard Support Center officials decided to eliminate Kulis ANGB from any future IRP studies.

However, later investigations revealed two sites, Site 00117 (also known as [A.K.A.] Site 1) and Site 00012 (A.K.A. Site2) qualifying under the IRP, which have since been closed. In addition to the two IRP sites, remedial activities have taken place in response to various releases and discoveries over the years. Each of these sites is shown in Figure 3.3.3.1 and is summarized in Table 3.3.3.1. (Weaver, 2008)

The releases and remedial actions at each site are described as follows:

• SITE 00117 (A.K.A. SITE 1) (ADEC File No. 2100.26.437)

Former USTs 117-1 and 117-2 were located in the northeast portion of Kulis ANGB south of the parking area for Buildings 3, 4, and 9. The USTs were installed in 1964 and 1970 respectively, removed in 1992, and contained gasoline (possibly leaded gasoline at times) and diesel. Tank 117-1 was connected to a pipeline running beneath the asphalt to a dispenser on the south side of Building 9. (ANG, 1991b)

Following a fuel inventory discrepancy in 1990, an initial excavation in the vicinity of the tanks revealed soil with strong petroleum odors. A subsequent soil gas survey was performed revealing further evidence of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. In 1991 a full Site Assessment was performed delineating a small area of contaminated soil

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-50 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

(primarily benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes [BTEX]) with no evidence of contaminated groundwater. (ANG, 1991b)

Following tank removal activities in 1992, a bioventing system was installed in 1993 to remediate the impacted soils, and was in operation for 21 months. Following the review of site closure documents, on August 23, 1995, the ADEC issued a closure letter for the subject site. However, the online ADEC database reflects a closure date of June 11, 1993. (ADEC, 1995b)

• SITE 00012 (A.K.A. SITE 2) [Fuel Island] (ADEC Case No. not found)

Site 00012 was located in the northeast corner of the base east of former Building 8, west of former Building 14, and south of the parking area for current Buildings 3 and 4. Dispensing equipment was used at Site 00012 to dispense leaded and unleaded mobile gasoline (MOGAS) from 1970 to 1985. When active, the site consisted of a paved area just off the main thoroughfare, which contained two fuel dispensers located on opposite sides of a portable building (Building 00012). The dispensers were connected by supply lines to two 4,500-gallon asphalt-coated steel (non-cathodically protected) UTSs located approximately 25 feet to the west of Building 00012. The tanks ids are 00012-1 and 00012-2.

In 1982, use of the fueling system ceased and in 1985 the two tanks and their dispensers were removed and the associated piping was abandoned in place. Building 12 was also removed and the area was resurfaced with concrete (ANG, 1993).

In July of 1991 the concrete pad in the region of the former dispensers was removed and the soil beneath was suspected of being contaminated with gasoline. When contamination appeared to exist both laterally and vertically for a number of feet it was determined that a Site Assessment was warranted (ANG, 1992).

The Building 00012 Site Assessment was initiated in 1991 and determined the extent of contaminated soil at Site 00012 and identified benzene as the primary petroleum hydrocarbon exceeding regulatory requirements. Groundwater at the site was not affected by the contamination. Implementation of a suitable corrective action was recommended and a soil vapor extraction system was installed as the remedy of choice to address the soil contamination (ANG, 1992).

On June 14, 1995, the ADEC issued a closure letter stating in part, “The Department has no objection to dismantling the treatment system at Site Number 112 and spreading the stockpiled soil on-site. We are not requesting any additional site investigation or cleanup in this area. However, if in the future, additional petroleum contaminated soil is encountered it will need to be handled in accordance with applicable regulations” (ADEC, 1995a).

Open Environmental Site

In addition to the two closed IRP sites mentioned above, there is one open environmental site at Kulis ANGB. This site was not included in the IRP.

• Fire Rescue Station (ADEC File ID 2100.38.436)

During construction of the new Kulis ANGB Fire Station (Building 42) in 1999 previously unknown soil contamination was encountered in the foundation excavation and water main trenches. A release investigation identified the contaminant as a weathered middle distillate fuel hydrocarbon, such as diesel. The source(s) of the contamination was not determined. Approximately 1,800 tons of contaminated soil were removed and transported off base for thermal treatment. Additional contaminants of concern identified included: Gasoline Range Organics (GRO), Diesel Range Organics (DRO), and Benzene. (ANG, 2008a)

In 2004, Additional Site Characterization was performed to expand the area of investigation. The additional site data established the approximate lateral extent of the contamination at the Fire Rescue Station. In May of 2005 the ADEC approved alternative cleanup levels (Method III Cleanup Levels) for the site. Such approval allows for conditional closure with the establishment of institutional controls in place on the property. (ADEC, 2006b; ANG, 2008a)

That contaminant zone defined in 2004 was the target of a 2007 corrective measures implementation consisting of the excavation of approximately 400 cubic yards of contaminated soil. Confirmatory sampling indicated that a small area of contamination remained along the southeastern edge of the excavation that required removal to achieve the approved alternative cleanup levels. The sampling also demonstrated that the contamination zone did not extend beyond the Kulis ANGB property. (ANG, 2008a)

Additional corrective measures were implemented to excavate the remaining contaminated area and documented in the April 2008 Final Site Cleanup/Corrective Measures Implementation Report Fire Rescue Station Kulis Air National Guard Base, Anchorage Alaska. (ANG, 2008a)

According to personnel interviews, remedial activities at this site are complete and the closure report has been submitted to ADEC. As of the date of this draft final EBS, the site is awaiting a closure letter from ADEC.

Jewel Lake Armory

The property has not been investigated under the IRP (Straub, 2009). However, remedial investigations/activities have taken place at the location of two LUST sites. The applicable activities are described in Section 3.3.4 below.

3.3.4 Storage Tanks and Pipelines

Kulis ANGB

Various storage tanks were and continue to be used at Kulis ANGB to store heating oil, waste oil, diesel, MOGAS, glycol, JP-8, cleaning detergent, recovered product and Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF). A list of all USTs that have been used at Kulis ANGB is presented in Table 3.3.4.1. Ten of the USTs showed evidence of a release at the time of removal or closure of the tanks. These sites have all been remediated and approved for closure by ADEC. Four USTs remain active at Kulis, none of which show signs of release.

A list of all ASTs that have been used at Kulis ANGB is presented in Table 3.3.4.2. None of the active ASTs were found to be leaking. Prior to 1998, the POL Yard operated three bulk fuel storage ASTs. These three ASTs were found to be leaking at the time of removal in 1998. Details of the remediation and closure of this site is shown below.

• Former POL Bulk Fuel ASTs (ADEC File ID: Kulis)

The Kulis ANGB POL Yard operated with three bulk fuel storage tanks. Tank No. 1, the northernmost AST was a 50,000-gallon tank with a 32-foot diameter footprint. This AST sat on a 6 to 8-inch wide concrete ring wall that extended about five feet below grade. Tank Nos. 2 and 3, the central and southern-most ASTs, respectively, were two 25,000- gallon vessels with 18-foot diameter footprints. These tanks sat directly on a sand and gravel foundation and were within individual bermed areas with petroleum-resistant liners (liners did not extend beneath the ASTs). The tanks were used to store, at various times, aviation gasoline, JP-4 and JP-8 fuels. (ANG, 1998b)

In 1998, petroleum-impacted soil was discovered during construction activities for the installation of the four current 25,000-gallon JP-8 tanks located in the POL Yard, over the former footprint of AST-2 and AST-3. Subsequently, a Site Characterization was performed to assess the extent of contaminated soils beneath the footprints of the three former ASTs. This effort documented the presence of DRO, GRO, and benzene exceeding applicable ADEC criteria (ANG, 1998b).

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-55 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

In June of 1998, petroleum impacted soils were excavated from beneath the former footprints of AST 2 and 3. No remedial action was initiated in the area of AST 1 at this time. On August 25, 1999, upon reviewing the findings of the subject cleanup activities, ADEC concluded that post-excavation confirmation soil samples collected at AST 2 and 3 met applicable cleanup levels for all contaminants of concern except benzene; but considering the low concentration of benzene, the depth of contamination, and the depth to groundwater at the site, ADEC considered the risk posed by benzene-contaminated soils to be minimal. However, site closure for AST 2 and 3 would not be considered until the soil contamination at AST 1 was addressed and cleanup levels for all contaminants of concern met established cleanup levels (ADEC, 2008; ANG, 1998c).

In November of 2000, an interim remedial action was conducted in the area of former AST 1 which consisted of the excavation of approximately 900 tons of petroleum contaminated soils and replacement with clean fill. Excavated soils were treated on-site with passive aeration (benzene-impacted soil) and an enhanced bioremediation technology (DRO-impacted soil) until they met applicable cleanup levels (ANG, 2002).

On March 18, 2002 ADEC issued a Record of Decision closing the subject site (ADEC, 2002).

According to historical topographic maps and personnel interviews, there are no gas or petroleum pipelines passing through the Kulis ANGB property (ASIG, 2009).

Jewel Lake Armory

Various storage tanks were used at the Jewel Lake Armory property to store mobile gasoline (MOGAS), diesel fuel, heating oil, used oil, and antifreeze. A list of all USTs that have been used at the Jewel Lake Armory property is presented in Table 3.3.4.3. Two of the USTs (2,000-gallon MOGAS and 2,000-gallon diesel) were suspected of leaking. Remedial action was implemented between 1997 and 2004 and the site was closed in 2006 (ADEC Case No. 2100.26.051).

• Former Fuel Island USTs (South of Armory Building) (ADEC File No. 2100.26.051)

A 1991 Preliminary Site Investigation Report noted hydrocarbon contamination in the soil and groundwater possibly due to releases from two fuel tanks. During Tank removal activities in October of 1991, it was observed that the tanks had released product to the surrounding soil. A further assessment was recommended to determine the lateral and vertical extent of contamination (ANG, 1991a; 1998a).

Preliminary site assessment and subsurface release investigation was completed in August 1992. Soil samples indicated levels of GRO and BTEX compounds above ADEC action levels. One monitoring well also contained benzene levels above regulatory levels (ANG, 1998a).

Remedial activities were conducted in 1993 consisting of soil excavation. Sampling of surface water that had accumulated at the bottom of the excavation was sampled and tetrachloroethene (PCE) was detected at a concentration exceeding the ADEC groundwater quality criteria. Previous groundwater results had not indicated the presence of PCE, and there was no reported history of PCE use at the Jewel Lake Armory property. Additionally, the ongoing groundwater monitoring effort had not detected PCE concentrations in any of the nine on-site wells. Therefore the PCE detection in the surface water was not considered significant and did not warrant further investigation. (ANG, 1998a)

On August 25, 2006, following review of historic groundwater data, ADEC concurred that all contaminants of concern were below the applicable standards and the site was closed (ADEC, 2006a).

According to the 1998 EBS, two ASTs have been used at the Jewel Lake Armory. There have been no reports of spills or contamination from the ASTs. The tanks were removed from the site in 1991. Further details are presented in Table 3.3.4.4.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-69 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

According to the 1998 Jewel Lake Armory EBS there was a 6-inch diameter high- pressure pipeline owned by Signature Flight Support (SFS) (formerly known as Butler Aviation, pre-1997) located just south of the Jewel Lake Armory property line. The pipeline reportedly transported Jet A-50 fuel from the Port of Anchorage to a bulk tank farm at the AIA. However, a representative of Aircraft Service International Group (ASIG) confirmed on January 15, 2009 that this pipeline was abandoned around 1997. ASIG was the owner of the pipeline at the time of abandonment (ASIG, 2009).

3.3.5 Oil/Water Separators

Oil/water separators (OWSs) are used to separate oils, fuels, sand, and grease from wastewater and to prevent contaminants from entering the sanitary sewer and stormwater drainage systems.

Kulis ANGB

According to documentation and interviews, there are currently 17 active OWSs on the Kulis ANGB, as summarized in Table 3.3.5.1. Two OWSs were removed in 1995 and evidence of release was noted at the time of removal. Both sites have been remediated and approved for closure by ADEC. Additionally, one OWS was closed in place in 1993 and another OWS appears to still exist but is out of service according to the 2004 tank inventory list. Further details on this OWS were not found in the available documents (ANG, 2004b).

Jewel Lake Armory

According to the 1998 EBS there is one OWS on the Jewel Lake Armory property as shown in Table 3.3.5.2. The OWS is located off of the south end of the OMS Building. This OWS previously discharged to a dry well located approximately 100 feet south of the OMS Building. There is no evidence of contamination in the well. There is no evidence or documentation of this OWS leaking. It is unknown if this OWS is still in service. During the site visit, all observed floor drains within the OMS were plugged. (ANG, 1998a; Johnson, 2009)

3.3.6 Pesticides

Kulis ANGB

According to Base personnel, herbicides, insecticides and rodenticides are rarely used on the property and due to the cold climate in Anchorage, there is little to no need for these substances. There is no knowledge of storage of these items on the property. Occasionally base personnel will purchase small amounts of these items for immediate use and therefore there is no need for storage of the items (Belyea, 2009).

Jewel Lake Armory

According to the 1998 EBS, small amounts of pesticides were applied at the Armory building while the AKARNG occupied the building to exterminate silverfish, a small insect. Once the AKARNG vacated the property in 1991, the application of the pesticides ceased. There is no evidence that pesticides have been stored at the property (ANG, 1998a).

3.3.7 Medical/Biohazardous Waste

Kulis ANGB

A medical clinic is located within the property at Building 24. Minimal medical waste is generated at the clinic. These wastes are transported to Elmendorf AFB where they are incinerated. Medical waste has never been disposed of onsite (ANG, 2004a).

Jewel Lake Armory

A medical clinic is not located within the property. However, due to the nature of rescue missions carried out by the 212th RQS, some medical waste, such as expired medical supplies, is generated at the Armory Building. This waste is either exchanged with local medical facilities prior to expiration or is incinerated at Elmendorf AFB (ANG, 2004a).

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-79 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

3.3.8 Ordnance

Kulis ANGB

Ordnance is stored within the property in the form of small arms munitions. The small arms munitions are stored in the security offices located in Building 24. Additionally, Buildings 34 (Segregated Magazine Storage Shed) and 35 (Conventional Munitions Shop) have stored ordnance in the past. These buildings are in a restricted area and therefore were not investigated during the site visit. A demolition range was not located within the property (BEM, 2008).

Jewel Lake Armory

Ordnance is currently stored within the property. The ammunition is stored in a locked, walk in safe within the Armory Building.

From approximately 1961 until 1987, an active indoor firing range was located within the Armory Building. This firing range was owned and operated by the AKARNG, who used and stored rifles at this location. Following closure of the range, inspections found that the range and adjacent corridors were contaminated with lead dust and fragments. Lead abatement was completed in 1992 and wipe samples collected in the former firing range and corridors were below the 50 micrograms per square foot (μg/ft2) cleanup standard. The Elmendorf AFB Bioenvironmental Office established this standard. Today, the firing range is used as dry storage. (ANG, 1998a; BEM, 2008)

3.3.9 Radioactive Waste

Kulis ANGB

Radioactive materials are not used within the property. The Non Destructive Inspection (NDI) shop located in Building 3 does operate an X-Ray, however, there is no source associated with this machine and therefore no radioactive waste is generated. Radioactive materials and wastes have not been disposed of within the property (Moore, 2008).

Jewel Lake Armory

No radioactive waste has been generated, stored or disposed at the Jewel Lake Armory property (ANG, 1998a).

3.3.10 Solid Waste

Kulis ANGB

The property generates solid waste in the form of office trash, nonhazardous industrial wastes, and construction debris. The MOA’s Commercial Collection Service collects and disposes of these nonhazardous solid wastes at the Anchorage Regional Landfill. In addition, the EBS team searched for signs of solid waste disposal within the property (i.e., trash piles or landfilling). Solid waste disposal areas were not found within the property (BEM, 2008).

3.3.11 Wastewater Treatment, Collection, and Discharge

Kulis ANGB

The property generates wastewater from sanitary, stormwater, and industrial processes, including OWS discharge. All of the OWSs and other sanitary wastewater sources at Kulis discharge to the MOA sanitary sewer system, operated by the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility, with the exception of the OWS located at Building 14 and the NCO club. The OWS at Building 14 is discharged to the stormwater drainage system, after the tank is verified to not contain hazardous waste. According to the 2004 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, the drainage basin in which this OWS drains to is Drainage Basin 002. This basin eventually drains to the east of Kulis ANGB and into either Meadow Lake or Delong Lake. The NCO club is connected to a septic system. The sanitary sewer system discharges to the local treatment plant.

Preventative maintenance, good housekeeping practices and routine inspections are conducted in order to prevent hazardous substances from entering the stormwater and sanitary systems. There is no evidence or record that any hazardous substances have been released to the

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-81 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

sanitary sewer system. As indicated previously, minor spills have occurred at Kulis ANGB, however these spills were properly cleaned up at the time of the spills. It is possible that residual amounts of hazardous substances were discharged to the stormwater drainage systems in the locations of these spills. Wastewaters are not treated onsite prior to discharge (ANG, 2004b; 2005; Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility [AWWU], 2009).

Jewel Lake Armory

The AWWU provides sewer services for the Armory Building. No problems associated with the Armory Building’s wastewater discharge have been reported. The property generates wastewater from sanitary and stormwater processes, including OWS discharge. These wastewaters are collected in pipelines and discharged to the local treatment plant. Hazardous substances have not been released within these wastewaters. These wastewaters are not treated onsite prior to discharge (AWWU, 2009).

3.4 DISCLOSURE ITEMS

Disclosure items are conditions that are not regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), but may affect use of the subject property. These conditions or substances include drinking water quality, asbestos, PCBs, radon, and lead-based paints. These substances do not pose specific risk or hazard to human health or safety if they are maintained and managed properly.

3.4.1 Drinking Water Quality

The AWWU provides drinking water to both Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory. The source of this drinking water is primarily from Eklutna Lake and is supplemented with water from Ship Creek and blended with treated groundwater from several wells. The drinking water is tested annually and semi-annually for total coliform, turbidity, total organic carbon, combined radium, antimony, arsenic, barium, chlorine, chromium, copper, fluoride, lead, nickel, nitrate, selenium, haloacetic acid, total trihalomethanes, and all are reported to be below maximum contaminant levels (AWWU, 2009).

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-82 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

3.4.2 Asbestos

AFI 32-1052 (March 22, 1994) establishes requirements and assigns responsibilities to incorporate facility asbestos management principles and practices. Installations must remove asbestos-containing material (ACM) likely to release airborne asbestos fibers that cannot be reliably maintained, repaired, or isolated. All facilities must be monitored closely to ensure ACM does not become airborne. In addition, each installation must develop a written management and operating plan to carry out the objectives of facility asbestos management. Prior to property disposal, all available information on the existence, extent, and condition of ACM must be incorporated into the EBS and provided to the transferee.

Kulis ANGB

A non-destructive asbestos survey1 was performed at Kulis ANGB in 2007. Based on this survey, suspect material was identified within Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 20, 21, 22, 30, 37, 45, 47, and 49. Analysis of suspect materials identified asbestos within Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 21, 22, 45, 47, and 49, as shown in Table 3.4.2.1. At the time of the analysis, all asbestos identified was found to be in good condition and did not pose a threat, thereby warranting no immediate action. Renovations are not currently planned within the above referenced buildings prior to vacating the property (ANG, 2007a).

1 A nondestructive survey indicates that such things as walls, roofs, etc. were not penetrated to determine whether or not there is hidden ACM. Therefore, if these areas are to be involved in major renovation or demolition, additional sampling for the presence of asbestos may be required.

Jewel Lake Armory

A non-destructive asbestos survey was performed within the Armory Building in 1994 and 1995 for the DMVA – Facilities Management Division. This survey was limited to the Armory Building and did not include the OMS Building or any other structures on the property. Based on this survey, suspect material was identified at multiple locations within the building. Analysis of suspect materials identified asbestos within the following areas2: classroom, corridor, office, lobby, weight room, kitchen, women’s bathroom, drill hall, ventilation room, and boiler room, as shown in Table 3.4.2.2. The survey indicated that pipe insulation containing asbestos, though encapsulated with hard cloth, was found exposed in areas frequented by personnel and recommended for removal/replacement with non-ACM material. ACM surrounding the abandoned water tank and exhaust stack in the boiler room, and in the flexible duct connectors in the ventilation room were recommended for removal. During a site visit conducted on April 24, 2009, it appeared that asbestos found in the boiler room had been removed and/or encapsulated. No other removal activities have occurred at the Armory Building for ACM since the 1995 survey. Renovations are not planned within the Armory Building prior to the 212th RQS vacating the premises (AKARNG, 1995; 2009).

Additionally, a non-destructive asbestos survey was performed within the OMS Building in 1996. This survey was limited to the OMS Building and did not include any other structure on the Jewel Lake Armory property. Based on this survey, suspect material was identified in multiple locations within the building. Analysis of suspect materials identified asbestos within the following areas: rooms 101, 102, 107 and above 105 and 106, in roof material and the six fire doors, as shown in Table 3.4.2.2. The survey indicated that the hot water pipe fitting insulation in rooms 101, 102, 107, and above 105 and 106 was noted to be in damaged condition at the time of the inspection and posed a moderate potential for exposing building occupants to airborne asbestos fibers. It was recommended that the hot water pipe fitting insulation be repaired or removed. The roof material and the six fire doors were found to be in good condition and did not require immediate action, but should be managed in place. Should the roof material or fire doors become damaged, they should be repaired or replaced to eliminate the potential for exposure to

3.4.3 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

PCBs are used in electrical equipment, primarily capacitors and transformers, because they are electrically nonconductive and stable at high temperatures. PCBs persist in the environment, accumulate in organisms, and concentrate in the food chain.

The disposal of these compounds is regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which banned the manufacture and distribution of PCBs in 1976. By Federal definition, PCB equipment contains 500 parts per million (ppm) or more of PCBs, whereas PCB- contaminated equipment contains PCB concentrations of more than 50 ppm but less than 500

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-92 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

ppm. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under TSCA guidance, regulates the removal and disposal of all sources of PCBs containing 50 ppm or more.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-93 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Kulis ANGB

According to the 2005 Spill Prevention and Response Plan, there are 12 pad-mounted transformers within the property. These transformers are owned and maintained by Chugach Electric Association, Inc. All in-service transformers are non-PCB type transformers and contain insulating oils. During an interview, Mr. Scott Belyea stated that in the past, PCB-containing transformers were stored in the former storage area located east of Building 50. Because this storage area no longer exists, it can be assumed that the transformers have been disposed. No other potential PCB-contaminated equipment was identified within the property (ANG, 2005; Belyea, 2008).

Jewel Lake Armory

Based on the information provided in the 1998 EBS for Jewel Lake Armory, no PCB- containing equipment has been known to exist, in the past or present, at the Jewel Lake Armory (ANG, 1998a).

3.4.4 Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, and odorless radioactive gas that is produced by the radioactive decay of naturally occurring uranium. Uranium decays to radium and then radon. Radon that is present in soil can enter a building through small spaces and openings and can accumulate in enclosed areas, such as basements.

The most recent policy is the DoD memorandum, Asbestos, Lead-based Paint and Radon Policies at BRAC Properties (October 31, 1994). This policy states that in accordance with 26 United States Code (USC) 2661 to 2671, DoD will conduct a study to determine radon levels in a representative sample of its buildings. DoD has applied EPA guidelines for residential structures (i.e., an average radon concentration of 4 picocuries per liter [pCi/L]) with regard to remedial actions. Any available and relevant radon assessment data pertaining to property being transferred must be included in property transfer documents. DoD policy is not to perform radon assessment and mitigation prior to transfer unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-94 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Kulis ANGB

A radon survey has not been performed within the property. Information from the EPA National Radon Database shows that the MOA is in a Zone 2 area with an indoor average radon level of 0.6485 pCi/L. Based on sites tested in zip code 99502, the average radon activity is 0.390 pCi/L in the first-floor living areas and 0.907 pCi/L in basements. This is below the 4 pCi/L radon action level established by EPA (EDR, 2008).

Jewel Lake Armory

A radon survey was conducted in 1995 within the OMS Building. Radon levels were below detectable limits. The Armory Building was not tested for radon under the assumption that the results would be the same. Radon mitigation is not required at the property. (ANG, 1998a)

3.4.5 Lead-based Paint

In 1973, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) established a maximum lead content in paint of 0.5 percent by weight in a dry film of paint newly applied. In 1978, the CPSC lowered the allowable lead level in paint to 0.06 percent.

The most recent policy is the Air Force memorandum, Air Force Policy and Guidance on Lead-Based Paint in Facilities (May 24, 1993). The policy is referenced in Air Force Handbook (AFH) 32-9007 (May 1, 1999) and requires Air Force installations to identify, evaluate, control, and eliminate existing lead-based paint hazards and past lead-based paint hazards where potential lead-based paint debris may have accumulated in the area surrounding facilities. Priority is given to facilities or portions of facilities frequented by children. All installations must develop and implement a plan for identifying, evaluating, managing, and abating lead-based paint hazards. The guidance emphasizes the use of in-place management and lead-based paint abatement as part of the normal facility renovation and upgrade programs when it is cost- effective.

Kulis ANGB

Most of the property buildings are painted and this paint appears to be in good condition. A full-scale lead paint survey has not been conducted within the property. However, the paint is

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-95 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

tested in any building built prior to 1979 undergoing any renovation or other improvement, or demolition. Additionally, if the paint appears to be deteriorating in any of the buildings, this paint is also tested prior to repair (Weaver, 2008).

Jewel Lake Armory

According to the 1998 EBS, a lead-based paint survey has not been conducted at the Armory Building. Latex paint was used to paint the entire building prior to the 1998 EBS (ANG, 1998a).

3.4.6 Historical and Cultural Resources

Historic structures, archaeological sites, and traditional cultural properties (TCPs) are afforded protection under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended, (16 USC 470). Federal agencies are required to identify, assess, and protect historic structures, TCPs, and archaeological resources under their jurisdiction, control, or affected by the agencies actions. Cultural resources must be protected from any actions that may adversely affect them. AFI 32- 7065, Integrated Cultural Resources Management, specifies procedures for compliance with the cultural resources laws. Specifically all installations are required to conduct an inventory of their resources and manage the resources in accordance with AFI 32-7065, National Environmental Policy Act, Native American Graves Protection & Repatriation Act, American Indian Religious Freedom Act, Archaeological Resource Protection Act, Archeological and Historic Preservation Act, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Treatment. All installations are to avoid undertakings that may adversely affect the resources and must consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), Native American governmental representatives, and other affected parties.

satisfies National Register evaluation criteria A (the resource is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of history) and criteria C (the resource embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; represents the work of a master; possesses high artistic value; or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction) as well as criterion consideration G (properties that have achieved significance within the last fifty years), retains integrity, and appears to be significant at national, state, and local levels. Its period of significance is evaluated as 1955 to 1976, with associations with the Cold War and the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. The building is also significant for its distinctive architecture. The SHPO concurred with these proposed findings on May 15, 2007. On September 9, 2008, the SHPO requested continued consultation to, “resolve the adverse effects of this [Base closure] undertaking through avoidance, minimization, or mitigation.” (Alaska Department of Natural Resources [ADNR], 2008a; 2008b; ANG, 2007b)

Jewel Lake Armory

A Cultural Resources Survey was completed within the Jewel Lake Armory property in 2006. Based on this survey, “…there is low potential for the presence of unidentified significant archaeological or historic properties on the subject parcel.” The SHPO concurred with these findings on September 11, 2006. No cultural or historic resources have been identified within the property. (AKARNG, 2006; DMVA, 2006)

3.4.7 Natural Resources

Threatened and endangered species and their habitats are afforded protection under Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (PL 93-205, 16 USC 1531), which requires every Federal agency to ensure that any action it authorizes, funds, or carries out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. Any plant or animal species, or its habitat, listed as threatened or endangered (50 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 424.02) must therefore be protected from any actions that may threaten their continued existence. DoD Instruction 4715.3, Environmental Conservation Programs, May 3,1996, and AFI 32-7064, Integrated Natural Resources Management, September 17, 2004, specify procedures for compliance with the ESA.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 3-97 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Specifically all installations are required to conduct an inventory for threatened and endangered species and to undertake no action that may affect them or their habitat without consulting with either the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (for terrestrial and fresh water species) or with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for marine species. Additionally, AFI 32- 7064 requires installations to afford the same protection to state listed threatened and endangered species as to Federal species, whenever practicable.

As a minimum, installations must maintain an accurate map of the location of all known listed species based on the results of the biological inventories. The USFWS and state Natural Heritage Offices will provide names of listed species known to occur in the vicinity of a unit. However, on-the-ground reconnaissance surveys must be conducted to determine the actual presence of listed species. When any action is proposed that may affect a listed species, the unit must consult either with the USFWS or the NMFS. Consultation may be completed informally with a written concurrence from the USFWS or NMFS that the proposed action will have no effect on a listed species. More commonly, formal consultation under Section 7 of the ESA will be required. If so, a formal Biological Assessment (BA) must be prepared by the unit outlining its proposed action and anticipated effects, if any, on the species. After review by the USFWS or NMFS, they will issue a Biological Opinion (BO) that will specify if the proposed action can proceed. If the proposed action will, in the opinion of the USFWS or NMFS, not jeopardize the listed species or its habitat, the project may proceed. If it will jeopardize the species, the project may only proceed if it is modified so as to not jeopardize the species or its habitat. In some cases, the BO will permit a “taking” of a specified number of listed species provided specific mitigation is implemented.

A biological survey and consultation, with the USFWS and NMFS has not been conducted for Kulis ANGB or for Jewel Lake Armory. According to base personnel and the USFWS website, no currently listed threatened or endangered species are found in the areas of Kulis ANGB or Jewel Lake Armory. (USFWS, 2009; Weaver, 2008)

4. FINDINGS FOR ADJACENT PROPERTIES

4.1 HISTORICAL AND CURRENT LAND USE

Kulis ANGB

The site history for the adjacent properties was obtained through historical site photographs, city directories, and historical topographic maps (ANG, 2003; EDR, 2008).

The earliest known usage of the adjacent properties was as an airport to the west and north of the property; single-family residential development to the east; an elementary school and state lands to the south. According to historical aerial photographs, the airport has been present since at least the 1950s and has changed slightly with the development of surrounding buildings associated with the airport. The extent of single-family development to the east has increased since the 1950s, when only one single-family dwelling was observed. The school and state lands to the south of the property have primarily remained the same since the 1950s.

Jewel Lake Armory

The site history for the adjacent properties was obtained through historical site photographs, city directories, and historical topographic maps (ANG, 1998a; EDR, 2008; 2009).

The earliest known usage of the adjacent properties was as undeveloped, forested land and Spenard Lake to the north and further west of the property. According to historical aerial photographs, with the exception of Spenard Lake, these properties have changed significantly with the development of commercial properties surrounding the property to the west, south, and east in the 1960s and 1970s.

4.2 SURVEYED PROPERTIES

ASTM standards in Section 7 of E1527 require that properties within a one-mile radius of the Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory be investigated to determine their potential to affect the subject property. Given the distance between Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory, two regulatory database reports have been obtained and are included in Appendix D. All of the sites listed on the Federal and/or state databases within a one-mile radius of the Kulis ANGB and

search radius of the subject property. Of these sites, nine UST facilities were noted to have leaking USTs at Map ID sites B4, E14, F15, G17, G18, H21, J29, K32, and O43. Based on the visual survey, no storage tanks were noted at adjacent properties. Based on the regulatory status, surface water runoff and groundwater flow directions, the leaking USTs do not have the potential to affect the subject property.

4.2.5 State Priority List Sites

Kulis ANGB

Non-DoD facilities in the vicinity of the subject property have had releases of hazardous substances to soils, surface water, and groundwater. These facilities are under investigation by the ADEC. The active state sites are described as follows: Map ID site 16 is located over 3,500 feet north and down-gradient from the property and groundwater does not appear to be impacted; Map ID site 20 is located over 4,000 feet east-southeast and according to groundwater flow information, is cross-gradient from the property; Map ID 21 is located over 4,400 feet north and down-gradient from the property and groundwater and soil are reported as contaminated. Based on surface water runoff and groundwater flow directions, regulatory status, and distance, the State sites do not have the potential to affect the subject property.

Jewel Lake Armory

Non-DoD facilities in the vicinity of the subject property have had releases of hazardous substances to soils, surface water, and groundwater. These facilities are under investigation by ADEC. The active state sites are described as follows: Map ID 10 is located over 800 feet northeast and cross-gradient from the property; M38 is located over 2,000 feet west and down- gradient from the property; Map ID 39 is located over 2,000 feet east-southeast and potentially up-gradient of the property; and the remaining active SHWS sites (N40, P45, 46, 47, 50, 51, Q57, 63, R64, 65, and 69) are located over 2,200 feet from the property in cross- or down- gradient locations from the property. Based on surface water runoff and groundwater flow directions, regulatory status, and distance, the State sites do not have the potential to affect the subject property, with the exception of Map ID 39.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 4-16 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Map ID 39 is the site of Greer Tank, Inc. located at 2921 West International Airport Road. This site is listed in the ADEC online contaminated sites database. According to the information found in the online database, two 1,500-gallon USTs were removed in 1991 and one sample collected from the floor of the excavation indicated Benzene at levels below the applicable cleanup level. A file review was completed by ADEC in December 2008, who requested the responsible person to conduct additional sampling for potential closure (ADEC, 2009).

5. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ISSUES

5.1 COMPLIANCE AND LIABILITY ISSUES

In 1992, the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) amended CERCLA and established new procedures for contamination assessment, cleanup, and related activities. CERFA supports other environmental laws to ensure that possible adverse effects of property transfers on human health and the environment are addressed and that property offering potential for reuse and redevelopment is identified expeditiously.

Based on a review of all Federal regulations that govern environmental restoration and compliance (i.e., CERFA, RCRA, TSCA, the Clean Water Act [CWA], the Safe Drinking Water Act [SDWA], and the Clean Air Act [CAA], as amended), there are no potential compliance issues.

Based on a review of the documentation, interviews, and visual surveys, two items of concern were noted for each subject property. These items are described as follows:

Kulis ANGB

• Fire Rescue Station has not received closure from ADEC.

• A full scale lead based paint survey has not been completed

Jewel Lake Armory

• ACM abatement has not occurred for the areas recommended for immediate abatement in the 1995 ACM Survey for the Armory Building.

• It is unclear if ACM abatement has occurred in the areas recommended for immediate abatement in the 1996 ACM Survey for the OMS Building.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 5-1 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

5.2 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

Not all environmental liabilities require corrective actions. Most issues only require notification of the future users of the property of the potential environmental liability. Corrective actions and/or notifications are recommended as follows to eliminate items of concern:

Kulis ANGB

• Base personnel have indicated that the closure report for the Fire Station has been submitted to ADEC, however, the site is not officially closed until approval is received from the state. Once the site has been closed by the state, this will no longer be an item of concern.

• Based on the assumed use of the buildings (airport administration), corrective actions are not needed at this time. Future owners/occupants should be aware that the older buildings might contain lead-based paint. If the paint begins to deteriorate or if children will frequent a building, the paint should be tested.

Jewel Lake Armory

• The 1995 ACM survey for the Armory Building identified several areas where immediate abatement was required. As of the date of this draft final report, no abatement has occurred. It is highly recommended that asbestos abatement is completed prior to expiration of the lease and transfer of the property back to MOA. It may be determined that the AKARNG is the responsible party for this abatement as they are the legal owners of the building and the AKANG leases the property.

• The 1996 ACM survey for the OMS Building identified several areas where immediate repair or removal of asbestos was required. As of the date of this draft final report, no documentation has been provided regarding whether or not actions have been taken in regards to the ACM. However, it is unlikely that any abatement has occurred based on the knowledge that no abatement has occurred at the Armory Building. It is highly recommended that asbestos abatement be completed prior to the expiration of the lease and transfer of the property back to MOA. It may be determined that the AKARNG is the responsible party for this abatement as they are the legal owners of the building and AKANG leases the property.

6. CONCLUSIONS

6.1 FACILITY MATRIX

The facility matrices of the Kulis ANGB and Jewel Lake Armory are shown in Tables 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, respectively. These matrices include summaries of the ACM, lead-based paint, storage tanks, and hazardous substance releases at each building, structure, and IRP sites. The property categorization was selected based on commercial guidance from Standard Classification of Environmental Condition of Property Area Types for Defense Base Closure and Realignment Facilities (ASTM D5746-98) and Section 331 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year (FY) 1997. Property category codes are used to indicate the degree of contamination associated with the subject property. The following list identifies the criteria applicable to each:

• Category 1—Areas where no release or disposal of hazardous or petroleum substances has occurred (including no migration of these substances from adjacent areas).

• Category 2—Areas where only release or disposal of petroleum substances has occurred.

• Category 3—Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has occurred, but at concentrations that do not require removal or remedial response.

• Category 4—Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has occurred and all removal or remedial actions have been taken.

• Category 5—Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has occurred and all removal or remedial actions are underway, but not yet completed.

• Category 6—Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has occurred, but remedial actions have not been implemented.

• Category 7—Areas that are not evaluated or require additional evaluation.

This classification of environmental condition of property area types is consistent with CERCLA Section 120(h) requirements relating to the transfer of contaminated Federal real property (42 USC 9601 and following). Areas classified as Category Types 1 through 4, as

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 6-1 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

defined in this classification, are suitable, with respect to CERCLA Section 120(h) requirements, for deed transfer to a non-Federal recipient.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

In accordance with AFI 32-7066, parcels and associated facilities involved in the proposed property transfers should be classified into one of seven categories based on the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives.

Kulis ANGB

The majority of the 129-acre property of Kulis ANGB proposed for transfer is classified as a Category 1 site (i.e., areas with no releases of hazardous substances) and will be referred to as one site. Smaller areas within the property boundaries have been separated from this classification as follows: eight (8) Category 2 sites (i.e., areas with only petroleum releases), no Category 3 sites (i.e., areas with releases that do not require remediation), four (4) Category 4 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions have been completed), one (1) Category 5 site (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions are underway), no Category 6 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred, but remedial actions have not been implemented), and no Category 7 sites (i.e., areas requiring further investigation). These specific sites are listed as follows:

• Category 1 Sites—The 129- acres of Kulis ANGB property (except as noted below).

• Category 2 Sites—Buildings 00002 (Helicopter Maintenance); 00014 (Refueler Parking Canopy); 00023 (Supply & Equipment Warehouse - parking lot); 00046 (Corrosion Control Facility); 00047 (Aerospace Ground Equipment); east of 00050 (Civil Engineer Squadron); and Former Refueling Station (year 2000 location); Roundabout Road (southern intersection with Denali View Drive).

• Category 3 Sites—None identified.

• Category 4 Sites—Site 00117, A.K.A. Site 1; Site 00012, A.K.A. Site 2; POL Yard (specifically footprint of former ASTs 1, 2 and 3; Aircraft Parking Apron.

• Category 5 Sites—Building 00042 (Fire Rescue Station).

• Category 6 Sites—None identified.

• Category 7 Sites—None identified.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 7-1 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Based on Air Force guidance in Section 2.1.3.1 of AFI 32-7066, all property with category codes from 1 through 4 may be transferred without reservations. This encompasses the majority of the approximately 129 acres of the Kulis ANGB property. However, the 0.03 acres (1,125 square feet) of the single Category 5 site will require official closure by the state prior to property transfer. Kulis ANGB has submitted the final cleanup report to the appropriate state agency is currently awaiting their review and decision. If the state concurs that all remedial actions have been completed as required, this site can then be re-categorized as a Category 4 site.

Based on a review of all applicable regulations, no potential compliance issues were found based on transfer of the subject property to AIA.

Based on a review of the documentation, interviews, and visual surveys, two items of concern were noted for the subject property. These items are described as follows:

• Fire Rescue Station has not received closure from ADEC.

• A full-scale lead based paint survey has not been completed.

Corrective actions are recommended as follows to eliminate items of concern:

• Base personnel have indicated that the closure report has been submitted to ADEC, however, the site is not officially closed until approval is received from the state. Once the site has been closed by the state, this will no longer be an item of concern.

• Based on the assumed use of the buildings (airport administration), corrective actions are not needed at this time. Future owners/occupants should be aware that the older buildings might contain lead-based paint. If the paint begins to deteriorate or if children will frequent a building, the paint should be tested.

No further study or assessment of the surveyed parcels is recommended at this time. Therefore, it is recommended that the planned property transfer proceed as proposed.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 7-2 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Jewel Lake Armory

The 7-acre property of Jewel Lake Armory proposed for transfer is classified as follows: three (3) Category 1 sites (i.e., areas with no releases of hazardous substances), one (1) Category 2 site (i.e., areas with only petroleum releases), no Category 3 sites (i.e., areas with releases that do not require remediation), one (1) Category 4 site (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions have been completed), no Category 5 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred and all remedial actions are underway), no Category 6 sites (i.e., areas where releases have occurred, but remedial actions have not been implemented), and no Category 7 sites (i.e., areas requiring further investigation). These specific sites are listed as follows:

• Category 1 Sites—POL Storage Shed; Equipment Tent, and surrounding ground surface of these buildings.

• Category 2 Sites—OMS Building and surrounding ground surface.

• Category 3 Sites—None identified.

• Category 4 Sites—Armory Building and surrounding ground surface.

• Category 5 Sites—None identified.

• Category 6 Sites—None identified.

• Category 7 Sites—None identified.

Based on Air Force guidance in Section 2.1.3.1 of AFI 32-7066, all property with Category codes 1 through 4 may be transferred without reservations. This encompasses the entire Jewel Lake Armory property.

Based on a review of the documentation, interviews, and visual surveys, two items of concern were noted for the subject property. These items are described as follows:

• ACM abatement has not occurred for the areas within the Armory Building recommended for immediate abatement in the 1995 ACM Survey, which was conducted and prepared for the AKARNG.

• It is unclear if ACM abatement has occurred for the areas recommended for immediate abatement in the 1996 ACM Survey for the OMS Building, which was conducted and prepared for the AKARNG.

Environmental Baseline Survey – Final 7-3 176th Wing, Anchorage, Alaska – May 2009

Corrective actions are recommended as follows to eliminate potential compliance issues and items of concern:

• The 1995 ACM survey for the Armory Building identified several areas where immediate abatement was required. As of the date of this draft final report, no abatement has occurred. It is highly recommended that asbestos abatement is completed prior to expiration of the lease and transfer of the property back to MOA. It may be determined that the AKARNG is the responsible party for this abatement as they are the legal owners of the building and the AKANG leases the property.

• The 1996 ACM survey for the OMS Building identified several areas where immediate repair or removal of asbestos was required. As of the date of this draft final report, no documentation has been provided regarding whether or not actions have been taken in regards to the ACM. However, it is unlikely that any abatement has occurred based on the knowledge that no abatement has occurred at the Armory Building. It is highly recommended that asbestos abatement be completed prior to the expiration of the lease and transfer of the property back to MOA. It may be determined that the AKARNG is the responsible party for this abatement as they are the legal owners of the building and AKANG leases the property.

While the status of ACM in the buildings at the Jewel Lake Armory is unknown at this time, since these buildings are owned by the AKARNG and the condition of these buildings have not changed while being leased to the AKANG, any further investigation for ACM and any resulting abatement of existing ACM would be the responsibility of the AKARNG. Therefore, further study or assessment of the surveyed parcels by the AKANG is not recommended. It is recommended that the planned property transfer proceed as proposed.

Aquifer—Rock or sediment that is saturated and sufficiently permeable to transmit economic quantities of water to wells and springs.

BROWNFIELDS – Identified and/or Proposed Brownfields Sites. The EPA defines Brownfield properties as “real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contamination.” DEC is developing resources to assist eligible entities in Alaska in applying for EPA brownfields grants. The program also will provide technical assistance and perform some site assessments. The purpose of these assessments is to assist local redevelopment efforts on previously contaminated properties that are vacant or underused. Last updated July 21, 2008 (Kulis EDR report) and January 20, 2009 (Jewel Lake Armory EDR report).

Due Diligence—The process of inquiring into the environmental characteristics or other conditions of a parcel of commercial real estate, usually in connection with a commercial real estate transaction. The degree and type of due diligence will vary for different properties and differing purposes.

Hazardous Substance—This term has the meaning provided in CERCLA, 42 USC 9601(14), but for the purpose of the EBS, specifically includes petroleum products, oil, and lubricant.

Hazardous Waste Contaminated Sites—Sites on which a release has occurred or is suspected to have occurred and that has been reported to a government entity. The release may be attributable to any hazardous substance, hazardous waste, or petroleum products.

Hazardous Waste—RCRA defined a hazardous waste in 42 USC, Section 6901, as “a solid waste, or combination of solid wastes, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may (A) cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness or (B) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.”

Innocent Landowner Defense—A defense to CERCLA liability provided in 42 USC, Sections 9601(35) and 9607(b)(3). “All appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice” by the involved party is one of the requirements that must be met to qualify for this defense.

Inst Control—Intuitional controls. Contaminated sites that have institutional controls. Last updated July 21, 2008 (Kulis EDR report) and January 20, 2009 (Jewel Lake Armory EDR report).

LUST—The Leaking Underground Storage Tank Database contains an inventory of reported leaking underground storage tank incidents. Not all states maintain these records and the information varies by state. The database was updated on July 21, 2009 (Kulis EDR Report) and December 10, 2008 (Jewel Lake Armory EDR Report).

NFRAP—The No Further Remedial Action Planned list contains sites removed from the CERCLIS database because, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found, the contamination was removed quickly, or the contamination was not serious enough to require NPL consideration. It was last updated in December 2007.

NPL—The National Priorities List is compiled by EPA pursuant to CERCLA 42 USC, Section 9605(a)(8)(b), of properties with the highest priority for cleanup based on EPA’s hazard ranking system. The NPL was last updated in April 2008.

Real Property—Land; present possessory interest in land; surface water and groundwater within boundaries of such land; structures, fixtures, and other improvements on land; or other interest or future interest in land.

Release—Any spilling, leaking, emitting, discharging, escaping, leaching, or disposing from a source area into groundwater, surface water, surface soils, or subsurface soils.

10) Knowledge or evidence of any cultural (i.e. historical structures) or natural resources (i.e. threatened/endangered plants/animals) on the subject property: They did not have specifics on any cultural or historical resources but expected that Hangar 3 (the original building) might have some cultural/historical value.

11) Any knowledge or concerns regarding similar issues/incidents on adjacent properties? (Please include as many specific details/dates as possible):

Believe there has been petroleum releases in the commercial aircraft property immediately west of Kulis but that all cases have been closed by the state.

There has been periodic dumping of solid waste along Raspberry Rd. in the past but nothing they have observed on the ANG property.

In the 1970s there was aerial spraying for mosquitoes in Anchorage but they do not know if the Kulis property would have been sprayed.

12) Any other site or area specific information or comments you would like to provide?

There are 2 potable drinking water wells located in the commercial aircraft area just west of Kulis ANGB (they believe they are associated with the Million Air facility). They believe the wells are scheduled to be decommissioned within the next 2 years.

The 1964 earthquake severely damaged some large AST’s at the airport. They did not know if similar problems would have been seen at Kulis.

One area of interest expressed by SL was that of oil water separators on base and connection to the sanitary sewer system. SL referenced the 2003 EBS noting OWSs on Kulis being connected to sanitary sewer. He inquired as to whether the older buildings actually had such structures or connections in the past.

Reported that the groundwater in the general area contains naturally elevated levels of arsenic. 13) Can you identify any other persons (s) that could provide a good historical knowledge of the property as it pertains to the above topics? (name/phone number/e-mail/address): None
