River Terrace RV Park

Soldotna, Alaska

About

The River Terrace RV Park site is located on the banks of the Kenai River in downtown Soldotna. It operated as a dry cleaning facility from the 1960s to the 1980s and is currently a recreation vehicle parking area. The site was contaminated with perchloroethylene (PCE) in the soil, sediment, and groundwater, which was treated using a treatment technology called Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC). The HRC was effective in breaking down the PCE, but the degradation process stalled at the DCE stage. The site is currently being monitored for ongoing contamination, and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have oversight and regulatory authority. The site's contamination can be broken down into six parts: groundwater, sediment, pore water, surface water, vapor intrusion, and remaining contaminated soil. Two contaminant groundwater plumes exist on the site, and contractors have excavated and treated contaminated soil on-site.
