The Site Characterization Report for the Napaskiak Former Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) School Day Tanks outlines the findings from 2024 field investigations in Napaskiak, Alaska. The primary objective is to characterize site contamination, particularly from diesel fuel releases, to develop potential remediation strategies. The project involved soil and groundwater sampling at various test pits and newly installed monitoring wells.
Field activities included installing five monitoring wells to assess groundwater conditions and testing soil samples for contaminants such as Diesel Range Organics (DRO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The results indicated significant exceedances of cleanup levels for various contaminants at multiple test pits, particularly near previous fuel storage areas. Historical assessments revealed a long-standing presence of contamination associated with leaking pipelines and tanks at the former school site.
Interviews with local officials noted challenges related to flooding that could affect remediation efforts. Ultimately, the report aims to guide the cleanup procedures, maintaining compliance with Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation regulations while working towards achieving Cleanup Complete status for the site.
