Installation-Restoration Program Preliminary Assessment Kalakaket Creek Radio Relay Station, Alaska
The Hazardous Materials Technical Center (HMTC) was retained in January 1988 to conduct the Installation-Restoration Program (IRP) Preliminary Assessment of Kalakaket Creek Radio Relay Station (RRS), Alaska. DoD policy is to identify and fully evaluate suspected problems associated with past hazardous-material disposal sites on DoD facilities, control the migration of hazardous-contamination from such facilities, and control hazards to health and welfare that may have resulted from these past operations. The major operations of the installation that used and disposed of hazardous materials/hazardous wastes (HM/HW) included vehicle maintenance; power production; petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) management; and management of batteries, electrical equipment, and paints. Small quantities of waste transformer fluid containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lube oils, PD-680 solvent, synthetic oil, transmission fluid, motor gasoline, lead-acid batteries, fuel oil, aviation gasoline, diesel fuel, ethylene glycol, trichloroethane, paints, strippers, and thinners were generated by these activities. Asbestos was also used as a construction material at the facility. At the time of the site visit, no evidence of contamination was visible at the RRS. However, as it was a common practice at similar facilities to bury drums and waste liquids, a landfill may exist in the vicinity of the RRS. In addition, asbestos was observed within the buildings at the RRS.
