1.1.2 Site Description
See below
1.1.2.1 Location
Murray Property-Beam Road, Nome, AK
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
The Site is located approximately 4 miles northeast of Nome center off the Beam Road in Nome, Alaska (64.529 latitude and -165.256 longitude). The Site consists of 14 drums and approximately 5 totes, in various states of poor condition, that contain a total of approximately 2000 gallons of used lube, hydraulic and fuel oils. The Situation was brought to EPA’s attention by USCG and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation personnel who had originally provided oversight of the cleanup of these materials which originated from a derelict vessel. Oils during this cleanup effort were collected and taken, by the vessel PRP, to the Beam Road Site posing a threat to navigable waters of the US; “EPA Inland Zone” as defined in a 1994 MOU between USCG and EPA. The vessel had reportedly sunk on two occasions during the 2009 and 2010 winter seasons in Nome Harbor.
The drums and totes are currently stored approximately 30 feet from slough that connects to the Nome River; a river that is used for subsistence use by Alaska Tribes of the area. Soil staining around the drums was evident according to ADEC personnel prior to freeze up. It’s unknown at this time the extent of impact that may have occurred over the winter to the slough and river. A site visit is planned immediately after Spring break up. An increase of $25 K is requested from the NFPC in addition to the $50K originally requested to adequately assess the Site in this remote area of northwest Alaska.
