JUL 2 3 2010 UGH CLERK'S OFFICE BOR Appeal from Planning and Zoning Commission Decision OAH No. 10-0321-MUN Agency No. 10-016 J'°5p, ni • WRITTEN ARGUMENT OPPOSING THE APPEAL Pursuant to KIBC 17.225.060 and through counsel, Jim Ashford hereby submits his written argument opposing the appeal taken in the above matter. Mr. Ashford is entitled to submit written argument because he submitted timely written comments and gave oral testimony at the public hearing before the commission.✓ I. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND. On January 20, 2010 the Kodiak Island Borough ("KIS" or "the Borough") submitted an application for a conditional use permit, proposing to use Lot 2A of Lakeside Subdivision, 2nd Addition ("Lot 2A" or "the property") for "temporary storage of contaminated soil with remediation to include screening, segregation, aeration & disposal."J Lot 2A is zoned PL -Public Use Lands District.) Its longest single border is immediately adjacent to properties zoned RR -1 (Rural Residential One).° It also abuts properties zoned I (Industrial), R2 (Two -Family Residential), PL and RB (Retail Business). '-V KIBC 17.225.0305 J R. 31 3/ KIBC 17.130 J R. 117 The application was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion (P&Z) at its regular meeting of March 17, 2010. Because the Borough wished to use Lot 2A for a purpose which was neither a permitted nor a conditional use in a PL zoning district, the Borough sought to have P&Z determine, first, that using Lot 2A for storage and remediation of contaminated soil was similar in character and impact to properties used for "governmental mainte- nance and service facilities and storage yards," a listed condi- tional use in a PL district. Assuming the requested determination, were made, it further asked P&Z to issue a conditional use permit allowing such use. At the March 17 meeting, P&Z declined to issue the similar use determination requested by the Borough and further declined to issue the conditional use permit which it sought. The commission subsequently adopted findings of fact separately supporting both decisions. On May 28, 2010 the Borough filed an appeal seeking to have the hearing officer "reverse P&Z's denial of similar use determina- tion and approve conditional use permit.j5' Its written argument favoring reversal of the P&Z decision takes issue solely with the commission's findings regarding the similar use determination. Thus it appears that the Borough is under the mistaken impression that, had P&Z issued the similar use determination which the Borough sought, the Borough would automatically have been entitled to issuance of a conditional use permit. This is not the case. In any event, Mr. Ashford feels that P&Z correctly denied both the similar use determination and the conditional use permit and V Appeal Application at 3 of 3. Argument Opposing the Appeal - Jim Ashford Page 2 of 6 Nza waw ; 6oig.t4 a Fu<Z zci .-' .azam m zgrri ;Ea, mW .44 urges the hearing examiner to deny the Borough's appeal and uphold P&Z's actions. II. THE APPEAL SHOULD BE DENIED. A. KIBC 17.15.0908 Precludes the Similar Use Determination Which the Borough Sought. Section 17.15.090 of the Borough Code reads: KIBC 17.15.090 Similar uses may be permitted. A. Land uses other than those •specifi- cally permitted or conditionally permitted in a district may be allowed if they are similar to those listed and are found by the commis- sion, after a public hearing, to be similar in character and impact. B. In all cases, the outdoor storage of materials and equipment is prohibited unless it is listed as a permitted or conditional use in a district. (Emphasis added). The highlighted language of paragraph 8 controls the result in this case and requires a denial of the Borough's appeal because the use which it seeks to make of Lot 2A involves "outdoor storage of materials" — i.e., contaminated soil — and thus may not be the subject of a similar use determination under paragraph A. The record is, of course, replete with references to the proposed use of Lot 2A being to store or stockpile the contaminated soil. Thus the Borough's application for the Conditional Use Permit describes the "proposed use of property" as "temporary storage of contaminated soil,"6/ the Borough's submission to P&Z acknowledged that it would be "storing contaminated soils," 2/ and the Borough staff report of February 25, 2010 stated that "(t]he proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage."e/ Such 6/ 7/ R. 31 R. 104 of 105 e/ R. 17 of 105 Argument Opposing the Appeal - Jim Ashford Page 3 of 6 2 a use may not be authorized under KIBC 17.15.090A because it is flatly prohibited by KIBC 17.15.0908.2 B. Even in the Absence of KIBC 17.15.090B, P&Z's Decision to Deny the Similar Use Determination Which the Borough Sought Was Correct. That the Borough's attempt to equate "governmental maintenance and service facilities and storage yards" with the outdoor storage and remediation of contaminated soil is neither logical nor reasonable is demonstrated by the outpouring of public comment against what it was attempting to do in the present case. It is one thing to live in the vicinity of a maintenance and service facility which might at times and in part be devoted to the storage of materials such as sand or rock salt, but quite another to have an adjoining property devoted to the storage of contaminated or otherwise hazardous materials which are to be "remediated" through procedures which "include screening, segregation, aeration and disposal." Indeed, the Borough's written argument in favor of its appeal doesn't truly address this point. Instead, it simply labels as irrelevant any and all arguments presented in opposition to its plans. The standards which P&Z is obligated to apply in determin- ing whether or not to granting a conditional use permit require it to find, among other things that the conditional use "will preserve the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area" and "will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort." Furthermore, "(e)he conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow consideration of the impact of the proposed 22/ For examples of outdoor storage listed as either a permitted or conditional use see KIBC 17.90.020W, 17.105.010) and U, and 17.120.0400. Argument Opposing the Appeal - Jim Ashford Page 4 of 6 conditional use on surrounding property, and the application of controls and safeguards to assure that the conditional use will be compatible with the surrounding area."12t' Most if not all of the public testimony which the Borough summarily dismisses as "irrele- vant to the question of this case," would appear clearly pertinent to the standards which P&Z was required to follow. C. The Borough's Attempt to Supplement the Record With A Letter Written Well After the Decision From Which It Has Appealed in Inappropriate. The Borough has attached to its written argument a letter dated May 21, 2010 from William Cornell of the Alaska DEC to Kenneth Smith of the Borough. While styled a "status update," that letter looks suspiciously like a document prepared with this specific appeal in mind. It therefore should not be considered in rendering a decision on this appeal.W III. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission should be upheld and the appeal of the Kodiak Island Borough denied.W 1W KIBC 17.200.010 111 KIBC 17.225.070D states that the board of adjustment (and thus the hearing examiner) shall decide the appeal upon the appeal record, the written and oral argument, and the testimony and evidence presented on the appeal. The author of the letter here in question would not be authorized to present written or oral argument pursuant to KIBC 17.225.060, so it would appear inappropriate to allow him to "testify" through the admission of this letter. i For the record, Mr. Ashford wishes formally to object the the actions of the Borough in hurriedly amending the Borough Code, after this appeal was filed, so as to authorize a hearing examiner other than a Borough resident to hear and decide this case. Needless to say, the necessity of making this objection to preserve the record is in no way meant as a comment upoj the hearing examiner's qualifications or neutrality.

The attachment includes arguments in support of reversing the P&Z ruling. Thank you for your timely action on this matter. Sincerely, y Koning, Director CC: Rick Gifford Ken Smith 1 Arguments favoring reversal of denial ruling: Packs was enzadeob -� auto, Cium (t u i The question before the Board of Adjustment is: Was the Planning and Zoning Commission's ruling to deny the applicant's request for a similar use determination made correctly in accordance with MB Code 17.15.090, and are the facts found relevant and convincing in support of their decision? On January 20, 2010 The Kodiak Island Borough Engineering Facilities Department (KIBEF) submitted an application for a Similar Use Determination (K1BC 17.15.090) and a Conditional Use Permit (KIBC 17.200) to the Community Development Department, which was at that time identified as case number 10-06. On March 17, 2010 the Planning Zoning Commission denied a request for the Similar Use Determination. The Commission ruled that passive remediation and storage of fully enclosed contaminated soil is not a use similar in character and impact to a governmental maintenance and service facility and storage yard (KIBC 17.130.030). This case brought to the commission a request to judge the similarity between two land uses in terms of zoning. This case is not asking the Commission to make planning decisions for the future development of this site. Rather this case is asking a very specific zoning question i.e. is the proposed use similar in character and impact to a listed conditional use that is allowed in the zoning district. Only four commissioners were in attendance at the regular P&Z meeting of March 17, 2010, and four affirmative votes are required to approve the request. During the public hearing all of the public testimony was irrelevant to the question of this case. The content of the oral remarks ranged from amateur opinions predicting that the process will fail to bio -remediate the contaminant to "not in my back yard" language regarding desires for developing recreational facilities on the site in the future. At the close of the public hearing the discussion among commissioners was split. The comments of two commissioners correctly citied the appropriate zoning codes and compared the similarities in character and impact of the proposed use to the listed conditional use allowed in the PL Public Land Use zoning district. The comments of the other two commissioners cited mostly the nearby ball park and future plans for the property i.e. the concept to develop another ball field on the site in the future. The request failed 2-2. Findings of Fact must be established prior to appealing the Commission's ruling. Findings of Fact for this case were not published until May 13, 2010. I will demonstrate below how all the facts found to justify the Commission's decision in this case are either irrelevant to the question, without basis, or factually incorrect. Finding of Fact #1- The denial of this similar use determination is based upon the information contained in the staff report and upon timely written comments and verbal testimony heard by the commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. During the regular meeting Community Development Department staff presented a detailed oral and written explanation justifying the recommendation to approve the request. The following are excerpts from the written staff report. "Due to the fact that the soil remediation use does not involve thermal desorption (i.e. heating/burning) methods as part of the remediation process, staff believes this request is an equivalent use similar to a government maintenance facility. As indicated in the 2 petitioner's submittal, the contaminated soil will be stored on Lot 2A temporarily, in accordance with ADEC requirements, and in cells very similar to the ones currently located on the high school site." In the analysis of similar use the staff report refers the "development dictionary" for the definition of similar in character and impact. "Although not named criterion in the similar use procedure, staff believes that these two criteria, taken together, speak to the compatibility of the land use in surrounding land use context." "Interestingly, staff notes that there is evidence of equipment storage and maintenance on the lots across the street from the proposed site (Tract A and Lot 7, Industrial Park Subdivision)." "The proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage (subject to ADEC regulations and monitoring) with occasional aeration of the stored soils. Given the passive nature of the use, the location and size of the site, and the level of risk involved with handling the material, staff believes this use is similar to the government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use listed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district." RECOMMENDATION "Staff recommends that the proposed storage and occasional aeration of contaminated soil is similar in both character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and to limit the use." Finding of Fact #2- The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is not similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land zoning District. This is a statement with no supporting reasoning or evidence, and is therefore without basis. Finding of Fact #3- Based on public testimony, the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation is not compatible with other uses in the area and other uses allowed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. In particular, the development of a portion of Lot 2A for parks and recreation use and additional park and recreation improvements recommended in the KIB CIP by the Parks and Recreation Committee, make this site incompatible with the proposed use. This statement and the public testimony it is based upon fails to address the question of similar use, and is therefore irrelevant to the case. None of the public testimony spoke to similar use, but rather property values, future plans for the site, and proximities to other uses. Incidentally, the short term and temporary nature of this project does not conflict with any development plans for this site. Finding of Fact #4- There has been considerable work done by the City of Kodiak Parks and Recreation Department to maintain and operate the Dark Lake Fields, a further indication of the incompatible nature of the use. Again, this statement is irrelevant to the question at hand i.e. similar use determination. However, the KIB EF Department maintains an effective partnership with the city Parks and Recreation Department to assist and support their efforts to operate and maintain valuable recreation facilities for community users. This temporary project will have no impact on current recreational operations or future recreation facility development. Finding of Fact #5- Although this is an industrial area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (baseball fields), and shopping centers does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soils. This irrelevant statement does not address the question of similarity to the conditional use. Finding of Fact #6 -There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil reclamation. This statement provides no evidence or reference to facts for basis, and is simply not factual. No zoning district in KIBC Title 17 lists storage of contaminated soils as a permitted or conditional use, and therefore prohibited without a Similar Use Determination by the Planning and Zoning Commission (KIB 17.15.080). The roles of the Planning and Zoning Commission are varied. They are charged with performing the difficult and thoughtful duty of planning our community and enforcing existing zoning ordinances among other duties. Case 10-016 is a zoning case pure and simple. This case has nothing to do with future planning. This case is about ruling on similar land uses, and not about future plans for this property. The Commission failed to focus on its very specific duty in this case, and that is to rule on whether the proposed use is similar in character and impact to the allowed uses listed in the zoning district. While The Planning and Zoning Commission fills an important role in planning the future uses of borough property, future planning concepts are irrelevant to this particular case. On March 17, 2010 two commissioners failed to understand the Commission's specific role in this case resulting in their failure to focus on the question before them. The facts found by the Commission to support its denial ruling are either irrelevant to the question of similarity of use, baseless, or not factual. The stockpiled soil must be moved from its existing location as it is in direct conflict with the construction of the new Kodiak High School project, which is the largest construction project in KIB history. Alternative sites are being explored by KIBEF. Currently transporting the soils off - island for processing is estimated to cost K1B $881,000. Additionally, KIBEF received the attached ADEC letter recently requesting that the soil be moved to the proposed site as soon as possible, or make immediate arrangements to move the soil off -island. A ruling to grant the Similar Use Determination and Conditional Use Permit is clearly the only correct decision in terms of zoning definitions and maximum benefit to public resources. r • t 0 F DEPT.

This site is now being managed by the Contaminated Sites Program after being transferred from the Spill Prevention and Response Program. All project correspondence should be sent to me at the address above. After reviewing the site history and information contained in the project file, I would like to provide you with the following summary regarding the regulatory status of this contaminated site: I. Due to the shallow nature of the bedrock at the site, I do not think a groundwater investigation is warranted at this time. Future activities at the site must include a drinking water well survey to determine if drinking water wells may be present in a location that could be impacted by the remaining contamination at the site. If so, additional characterization of groundwater may be required. 2. Because soil contamination remains at the High School, any future closure decision at this site will necessarily be accompanied by Institutional Controls including but not limited to a Deed Notice, Excavation/Soil Handling Requirements, and Land Use Reporting. If Kodiak Island Borough is interested in pursuing a closure without restrictions, additional excavation will be required. 3. The presence of the 5 stockpiles remaining at the High School is unacceptable; and in violation of State Regulations 18 AAC 75.370 regarding the duration of time stockpiles are permitted to remain onsite. DEC requests that these stockpiles be moved as soon as possible to the location detailed in the June 2009 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan, Lot 2a, Lakeside Subdivision ' 4. This lot is an acceptable location to conduct soil treatment using landfarming. This .approach is a relatively low cost treatment option that would address the Departments G:ISPAR\SPAR-CS138 Case Files (Contaminated Sites)12601 Kodiak1260138, 106 Kodiak High School HOT\Kodiak HS Ietter_PRP,docx 0 printed 011 Itenr!,•d Taper 4 Kenneth Smith 2 May 21, 2010 remaining concerns about these stockpiles. DEC strongly recommends that the 5 stockpiles located at the High School be transported to Lot 2a for landfarming as soon as possible so as to take advantage of the current treatment season. This activity would require a DEC -approved landfarming work plan that can be submitted to me for review and approval. 5. If landfarming is not a viable treatment option for the Kodiak Island Borough, please make immediate arrangements to have this soil transported to a DEC- approved thermal desorption facility for treatment. Regarding ADEC's cost recovery procedures, Alaska Statutes 46.03.760, 46.03.822 and 46.08.070 establish cost recovery procedures for certain costs, including oversight activities, incurred by the State in responding to pollution incidents. If you are determined to be a responsible or liable party, ADEC may bill you at a later date for our expenditures associated with this pollution incident. Expenses for which we may seek reimbursement include: staff time associated with general or technical assistance; work plan review; project oversight; general project management; legal services; interest; travel; equipment and supplies; and any contracting costs.

Dear Mr. Koning: The Planning & Zoning Commission, at their regular meeting on March 17, 2010, denied the request referenced above. The commission adopted Findings of Fact at their May 12, 2010 special meeting in support of their decision. FINDINGS OF FACT - SIMILAR USE DETERMINATION 1. The denial of this similar use determination is based upon the information contained in the staff report and upon the timely written comments and verbal testimony heard by the commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. 2. The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is not similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. 3. Based on public testimony, the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation is not compatible with other uses in the area and other uses allowed in the PL - Public Use Land zoning district. In particular, the development of a portion of Lot 2A for parks and recreation use and additional park and recreation improvements recommended in the K113 CIP by the Parks & Recreation Committee, make this site incompatible with the proposed use. 4. There has been considerable work done by City of Kodiak Parks and Recreation Department to maintain and operate the Dark Lake Fields, a further indication of the incompatible nature of the use. 5. Although this is an industrial area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (i.e. baseball fields), and shopping centers does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soils. 6. There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil reclamation. FINDINGS OF FACT — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integrity of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixed use area of industrial, commercial, recreational and residential uses. The mixed use nature of the area makes this site incompatible with the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation activities. 2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. Although the contaminated soil would be enclosed in ADEC approved storage cells, the storage and periodic disturbance of the soils would be incompatible with the surrounding land uses. 3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort The proposed use would be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience or comfort. 4. The sufficient setbacks, lot area buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. The proposed use, even with stipulations attached, cannot be made compatible with the existing pattem of mixed uses in the surrounding area. 5. The proposed use or structure is located in a manner which will maximize public benefits. The KIBEFD has maintained the storage of the contaminated soils on the high school location where they originated for nearly three years. If the material is required to be moved from its site of origin it should be transported to a more suitable location or shipped off island. Although this is an industrial use area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (i.e.; baseball fields), and shopping centers, does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soil. There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil remediation. From the Borough Assembly Strategic Plan under Planning and Zoning Goals and Objectives -Community Development 1. Develop a framework to create a "sustainable community", one that does not focus on the quantity of growth, but the quality of life and balances short term needs of the community with the long term results of development. a) Develop a work plan that addresses the health, safety, and welfare of existing neighborhoods by preventing their physical and economic degradation and promotes the quality of growth through the revitalization of infrastructure and public areas.

MAY 282010 L I BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE Kodiak Island Borough Engineering and Facilities Department is hereby appealing the ruling to deny requested Similar Use Agreement Determination and issuance of a Conditional Use Permit made by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting on March 17, 2010. The attachment includes arguments in support of reversing the P&Z ruling. Thank you for your timely action on this matter. Sincerely, o y Koning, Director CC: Rick Gifford Ken Smith 1 Arguments favoring reversal of denial ruling: The question before the Board of Adjustment is: Was the Planning and Zoning Commission's ruling to deny theapplicant's request for a similar use determination made correctly in accordance with MB Code 17.15.090, and are the facts found relevant and convincing in support of their decision? On January 20, 2010 The Kodiak Island Borough Engineering Facilities Department (KIBEF) submitted an application for a Similar Use Determination (KIBC 17.15.090) and a Conditional Use Permit (KIBC 17.200) to the Community Development Department, which was at that time identified as case number 10-06. On March 17, 2010 the Planning Zoning Commission denied a request for the Similar Use Determination. The Commission ruled that passive remediation and storage of fully enclosed contaminated soil is not a use similar in character and impact to a governmental maintenance and service facility and storage yard (KIBC 17.130.030). This case brought to the commission a request to judge the similarity between two land uses in terms of zoning. This case is not asking the Commission to make planning decisions for the future development of this site. Rather this case is asking a very specific zoning question i.e. is the proposed use similar in character and impact to a listed conditional use that is allowed in the zoning district. Only four commissioners were in attendance at the regular P&Z meeting of March 17, 2010, and four affirmative votes are required to approve the request. During the public hearing all of the public testimony was irrelevant to the question of this case, The content of the oral remarks ranged from amateur opinions predicting that the process will fail to bio -remediate the contaminant to "not in my back yard" language regarding desires for developing recreational facilities on the site in the future. At the close of the public hearing the discussion among commissioners was split. The comments of two commissioners correctly citied the appropriate zoning codes and compared the similarities in character and impact of the proposed use to the listed conditional use allowed in the PL Public Land Use zoning, district. The comments of the other two commissioners cited mostly the nearby ball park and future plans for the property i.e. the concept to develop another ball field on the site in the future. The request failed 2-2. Findings of Fact must be established prior to appealing the Commission's ruling, Findings of Fact for this case were not published until May 13, 2010. 1 will demonstrate below how all the facts found to justify the Commission's decision in this case are either irrelevant to the question, without basis, or factually incorrect. Finding of Fact #1- The denial of this similar use determination is based upon the information contained in the staff report and upon timely written comments and verbal testimony heard by the commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. During the regular meeting Community Development Department staff presented a detailed oral and written explanation justifying the recommendation to approve the request. The following are excerpts from the written staff report. "Due to the fact that the soil remediation use does not involve thermal desorption (i.e. heating/burning) methods as part of the remediation process, staff believes this request is an equivalent use similar to a government maintenance facility. As indicated in the 2 petitioner's submittal, the contaminated soil will be stored on Lot 2A temporarily, in accordance with ADEC requirements, and in cells very similar to the ones currently located on the high school site." In the analysis of similar use the staff report refers the "development dictionary" for the definition of similar in character and impact. "Although not named criterion in the similar use procedure, staff believes that these two criteria, taken together, speak to the compatibility of the land use in surrounding land use context." "Interestingly, staff notes that there is evidence of equipment storage and maintenance on the lots across the street from the proposed site (Tract A and Lot 7, Industrial Park Subdivision)." "The proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage (subject to ADEC regulations and monitoring) with occasional aeration of the stored soils. Given the passive nature of the use, the location and size of the site, and the level of risk involved with handling the material, staff believes this use is similar to the government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use listed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district." RECOMMENDATION "Staff recommends that the proposed storage and occasional aeration of contaminated soil is similar in both character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and to limit the use." Finding of Fact #2- The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is not similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land zoning District. This is a statement with no supporting reasoning or evidence, and is therefore without basis. Finding of Fact #3- Based on public testimony, the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation is not compatible with other uses in the area and other uses allowed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. In particular, the development of a portion of Lot 2A for parks and recreation use and additional park and recreation improvements recommended in the MB CIP by the Parks and Recreation Committee, make this site incompatible with the proposed use. This statement and the public testimony it is based upon fails to address the question of similar use, and is therefore irrelevant to the case. None of the public testimony spoke to similar use, but rather property values, future plans for the site, and proximities to other uses. Incidentally,. the short tern and temporary nature of this project does not conflict with any development plans for this site. Finding of Fact #4- There has been considerable work done by the City of Kodiak Parks and Recreation Department to maintain and operate the Dark Lake Fields, a further indication of the incompatible nature of the use. 3 Again, this statement is irrelevant to the question at hand i.e. similar use determination. However, the KIB EF Department maintains an effective partnership with the city Parks and Recreation Department to assist and support their efforts to operate and maintain valuable recreation facilities for community users. This temporary project will have no impact on current recreational operations or future recreation facility development. Finding of Fact #5- Although this is an industrial area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (baseball fields), and shopping centers does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soils. This irrelevant statement does not address the question of similarity to the conditional use. Finding of Fact #6 -There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil reclamation. This statement provides no evidence or reference to facts for basis, and is simply not factual. No zoning district in KIBC Title 17 lists "storage of contaminated soils as a permitted or conditional use, and therefore prohibited without a Similar Use Determination by the Planning and Zoning Commission (KIB 17.15.080). The roles of the Planning and Zoning Commission are varied. They are charged with performing the difficult and thoughtful duty of planning our community and enforcing existing zoning ordinances among other duties. Case 10-016 is a zoning case pure and simple. This case has nothing to do with future planning. This case is about ruling on similar land uses, and not about future plans for this property. The Commission failed to focus on its very specific duty in this case, and that is to rule on whether the proposed use is similar in character and impact to the allowed uses listed in the zoning district. While The Planning and Zoning Commission fills an important role in planning the future uses of borough property, future planning concepts are irrelevant to this particular case. On March 17, 2010 two commissioners failed to understand the Commission's specific role in this case resulting in their failure to focus on the question before them. The facts found by the Commission to support its denial ruling are either irrelevant to the question of similarity of use, baseless, or not factual. The stockpiled soil must be moved from its existing location as it is in direct conflict with the construction of the new Kodiak High School project, which is the largest construction project in KIB history. Alternative sites are being explored by KIBEF. Currently transporting the soils off - island for processing is estimated to cost KIB $881,000. Additionally, KIBEF received the attached ADEC letter recently requesting that the soil be moved to the proposed site as soon as possible, or make immediate arrangements to move the soil off -island. A ruling to grant the Similar Use Determination and Conditional Use Permit is clearly the only correct decision in terms of zoning definitions and maximum benefit to public resources. 4 J 4 r -v� li 77r Irl r bin\_\� 'J[1\\Ln\ DEPT.

This site is now being managed by the Contaminated Sites Program after being transferred from the Spill Prevention and Response Program. All project correspondence should be sent to me at the address above. After reviewing the site history and information contained in the project file, I would like to provide you with the following summary regarding the regulatory status of this contaminated site: 1. Due to the shallow nature of the bedrock at the site, I do not think a groundwater investigation is warranted at this time. Future activities at the site must include a drinking water well survey to determine if drinking water wells may be present in a location that could be impacted by the remaining contamination at the site. If so, additional characterization of groundwater may be required. 2. Because soil contamination remains at the High School, any future closure decision at this site will necessarily be accompanied by Institutional Controls including but not limited to a Deed Notice, Excavation/Soil Handling Requirements, and Land Use Reporting. If Kodiak Island Borough is interested in pursuing a closure without restrictions, additional excavation will be required. 3. The presence of the 5 stockpiles remaining at the High School is unacceptable; and in violation of State Regulations 18 AAC 75.370 regarding the duration of time stockpiles are permitted to remain onsite. DEC requests that these stockpiles be moved as soon as possible to the location detailed in the June 2009 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan, Lot 2a, Lakeside Subdivision 4. This lot is an acceptable location to conduct soil treatment using landfarming. This .approach is a relatively low cost treatment option that would address the Departments G:\SPAR\SPAR-05\38 Case Files (Contaminated Sites)\2601 Kodiak\2601.38.106 Kodiak High School HOTKodiak HS letter PRPdocx Kenneth Smith 2 May 21, 2010 remaining concems about these stockpiles. DEC strongly recommends that the 5 stockpiles located at the High School be transported to Lot 2a for landfarming as soon as possible so as to take advantage of the current treatment season. This activity would require a DEC -approved landfanning work plan that can be submitted to me for review and approval. 5. If landfarming is not a viable treatment option for the Kodiak Island Borough, please make immediate arrangements to have this soil transported to a DEC- approved thermal desorption facility for treatment. Regarding ADEC's cost recovery procedures, Alaska Statutes 46.03.760, 46.01822 and 46.08.070 establish cost recovery procedures for certain costs, including oversight activities, incurred by the State in responding to pollution incidents. If you are determined to be a responsible or liable party, ADEC may bill you at a later date for our expenditures associated with this pollution incident. Expenses for which we may seek reimbursement include: staff time associated with general or technical assistance; work plan review; project oversight; general project management; legal services; interest; travel; equipment and supplies; and any contracting costs. Pursuant to Alaska Statute 46.08.075, the state may also file liens against all property owned by a person who is responsible or liable for State expenditures.

The attachment includes arguments in support of reversing the P&Z ruling. Thank you for your timely action on this matter. Sincerely, y Koning, Director CC: Rick Gifford Ken Smith 1 Arguments favoring reversal of denial ruling: The question before the Board of Adjustment is: Was the Planning and Zoning Commission's ruling to deny the applicant's request for a similar use determination made correctly in accordance with IUB Code 17.15.090, and are the facts found relevant and convincing in support of their decision? On January 20, 2010 The Kodiak Island Borough Engineering Facilities Department (KIBEF) submitted an application for a Similar Use Determination (KIBC 17.15.090) and a Conditional Use Permit (KIBC 17.200) to the Community Development Department, which was at that time identified as case number 10-06. On March 17, 2010 the Planning Zoning Commission denied a request for the Similar Use Determination. The Commission ruled that passive remediation and storage of fully enclosed contaminated soil is not a use similar in character and impact to a governmental maintenance and service facility and storage yard (KIBC 17.130.030). This case brought to the commission a request to judge the similarity between two land uses in terms of zoning. This case is not asking the Commission to make planning decisions for the future development of this site. Rather this case is asking a very specific zoning question i.e. is the proposed use similar in character and impact to a listed conditional use that is allowed in the zoning district. Only four commissioners were in attendance at the regular P&Z meeting of March 17, 2010, and four affirmative votes are required to approve the request. During the public hearing all of the public testimony was irrelevant to the question of this case. The content of the oral remarks ranged from amateur opinions predicting that the process will fail to bio -remediate the contaminant to "not in my back yard" language regarding desires for developing recreational facilities on the site in the future, At the close of the public hearing the discussion among commissioners was split. The comments of two commissioners correctly citied the appropriate zoning codes and compared the similarities in character and impact of the proposed use to the listed conditional use allowed in the PL Public Land Use zoning district. The comments of the other two commissioners cited mostly the nearby ball park and future plans for the property i.e. the concept to develop another ball field on the site in the future. The request failed 2-2. Findings of Fact must be established prior to appealing the Commission's ruling. Findings of Fact for this case were not published until May 13, 2010. I will demonstrate below how all the facts found to justify the Commission's decision in this case are either irrelevant to the question, without basis, or factually incorrect. Finding of Fact #1- The denial of this similar use determination is based upon the information contained in the staff report and upon timely written comments and verbal testimony heard by the commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. During the regular meeting Community Development Department staff presented a detailed oral and written explanation justifying the recommendation to approve the request. The following are excerpts from the written staff report. "Due to the fact that the soil remediation use does not involve thermal desorption (i.e. heating/buming) methods as part of the remediation process, staff believes this request is an equivalent use similar to a government maintenance facility. As indicated in the petitioner's submittal, the contaminated soil will be stored on Lot 2A temporarily, in accordance with ADEC requirements, and in cells very similar to the ones currently located on the high school site." In the analysis of similar use the staff report refers the "development dictionary" for the definition of similar in character and impact. "Although not named criterion in the similar use procedure, staff believes that these two criteria, taken together, speak to the compatibility of the land use in surrounding land use context." "Interestingly, staff notes that there is evidence of equipment storage and maintenance on the lots across the street from the proposed site (Tract A and Lot 7, Industrial Park Subdivision)." "The proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage (subject to ADEC regulations and monitoring) with occasional aeration of the stored soils- Given the passive nature of the use, the location and size of the site, and the level of risk involved with handling the material, staff believes this use is similar to the government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use listed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district." RECOMMENDATION "Staff recommends that the proposed storage and occasional aeration of contaminated soil is similar in both character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and to limit the use." Finding of Fact #2- The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is not similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land zoning District. This is a statement with no supporting reasoning or evidence, and is therefore without basis. Finding of Fact #3- Based on public testimony, the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation is not compatible with other uses in the area and other uses allowed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. In particular, the development of a portion of Lot 2A for parks and recreation use and additional park and recreation improvements recommended in the KIB CIP.by the Parks and Recreation Committee, make this site incompatible with the proposed use. This statement and the public testimony it is based upon fails to address the question of similar use, and is therefore irrelevant to the case. None of the public testimony spoke to similar use, but rather property values, future plans for the site, and proximities to other uses. Incidentally, the short term and temporary nature of this project does not conflict with any development plans for this site. Finding of Fact #4- There has been considerable work done by the City of Kodiak Parks and Recreation Department to maintain and operate the Dark Lake Fields, a further indication of the incompatible nature of the use. 3 Again, this statement is irrelevant to the question at hand i.e. similar use determination. However, the KIB EF Department maintains an effective partnership with the city Parks and Recreation Department to assist and support their efforts to operate and maintain valuable recreation facilities for community users. This temporary project will have no impact on current recreational operations or future recreation facility development. Finding of Fact #5- Although this is an industrial area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (baseball fields), and shopping centers does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soils. This irrelevant statement does not address the question of similarity to the conditional use. Finding of Fact #6 -There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil reclamation. This statement provides no evidence or reference to facts for basis, and is simply not factual. No zoning district in KIBC Title 17 lists storage of contaminated soils as a permitted or conditional use, and therefore prohibited without a Similar Use Determination by the Planning and Zoning Commission (KIB 17.15.080). The roles of the Planning and Zoning Commission are varied. They are charged with performing the difficult and thoughtful duty of planning our community and enforcing existing zoning ordinances among other duties. Case 10-016 is a zoning case pure and simple. This case has nothing to do with future planning. This case is about ruling on similar land uses, and not about future plans for this property. The Commission failed to focus on its very specific duty in this case, and that is to rule on whether the proposed use is similar in character and impact to the allowed uses listed in the zoning district. While The Planning and Zoning Commission fills an important role in planning the future uses of borough property, future planning concepts are irrelevant to this particular case. On March 17, 2010 two commissioners failed to understand the Commission's specific role in this case resulting in their failure to focus on the question before them. The facts found by the Commission to support its denial ruling are either irrelevant to the question of similarity of use, baseless, or not factual. The stockpiled soil must be moved from its existing location as it is in direct conflict with the construction of the new Kodiak High School project, which is the largest construction project in KIB history. Alternative sites are being explored by KIBEF. Currently transporting the soils off - island for processing is estimated to cost KIB $881,000. Additionally, KIBEF received the attached ADEC letter recently requesting that the soil be moved to the proposed site as soon as possible, or make immediate arrangements to move the soil off -island. A ruling to grant the Similar Use Determination and Conditional Use Permit is clearly the only correct decision in terms of zoning definitions and maximum benefit to public resources. 4 DEPT.

This site is now being managed by the Contaminated Sites Program after being transferred from the Spill Prevention and Response Program. All project correspondence should be sent to me at the address above. After reviewing the site history and information contained in the project file, 1 would like to provide you with the following summary regarding the regulatory status of this contaminated site: 1. Due to the shallow nature of the bedrock at the site, I do not think a groundwater investigation is warranted at this time. Future activities at the site must include a drinking water well survey to determine if drinking water wells may be present in a location that could be impacted by the remaining contamination at the site. If so, additional characterization of groundwater may be required. 2. Because soil contamination remains at the High School, any future closure decision at this site will necessarily be accompanied by Institutional Controls including but not limited to a Deed Notice, Excavation/Soil Handling Requirements, and Land Use Reporting. If Kodiak Island Borough is interested in pursuing a closure without restrictions, additional excavation will be required. 3. The presence of the 5 stockpiles remaining at the High School is unacceptable; and in violation of State Regulations 18 AAC 75.370 regarding the duration of time stockpiles are permitted to remain onsite. DEC requests that these stockpiles be moved as soon as possible to the location detailed in the June 2009 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work . Plan, Lot 2a, Lakeside Subdivision 4. This lot is an acceptable location to conduct soil treatment using landfarming. This .approach is a relatively low cost treatment option that would address the Departments O0SPARISPAR.CSl38 Case Files (Contaminated Sites)12601 Kodiakt2601.38. 106 Kodiak High School HOPXodiek HS lettcr_PRP.docn Kenneth Smith 2 May 21, 2010 remaining concerns about these stockpiles. DEC strongly recommends that the 5 stockpiles located at the High School be transported to Lot 2a for landfarming as soon as possible so as to take advantage of the current treatment season. This activity would require a DEC -approved landfarming work plan that can be submitted to me for review and approval. 5. if landfarming is not a viable treatment option for the Kodiak Island Borough, please make immediate arrangements to have this soil transported to a DEC- approved thermal desorption facility for treatment. Regarding ADEC's cost recovery procedures, Alaska Statutes 46,03.760, 46.03,822 and 46.08.070 establish cost recovery procedures for certain costs, including oversight activities, incurred by the State in responding to pollution incidents. If you are determined to be a responsible or liable party, ADEC may bill you at a later date for our expenditures associated with this pollution incident. Expenses for which we may seek reimbursement include: staff time associated with general or technical assistance; work plan review; project oversight; general project management; legal services; interest; travel; equipment and supplies; and any contracting costs. Pursuant to Alaska Statute 46.08.075, the state may also file liens against all property owned by a person who is responsible or liable for State expenditures.

The assigned ALJ will conduct the necessary prehearing, hearing and posthearing proceedings, including preparation of all orders and decisions, and will follow the procedures in title 17, chapter 225 of the Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) municipal code. Pursuant to KIB Code § 17.225.090, because a subdivision of the borough is the appellant, the ALJ will hear and decide the appeal. The Kodiak Island Borough will reimburse OAH for the ALJ's time and for travel costs, if any, required to provide the adjudication services for this appeal. ALJ time will be reimbursed at the usual hourly rate charged by OAH for adjudication services provided to State of Alaska executive branch agencies. That rate is calculated under a federally -approved cost allocation plan methodology. In fiscal year 2010 the rate was $145; the rate may change for fiscal year 2011, but it is not expected to increase or decrease significantly. Travel costs, if any, will be reimbursed at actual costs for airfare, ground transportation, and hotel accommodations, and at $60 per day per diem. Office costs such as support staff time, copying and long-distance telephone charges are subsumed in the hourly rate. Any extraordinary costs such as to have a transcript of oral proceedings prepared will be paid directly by the borough or, if incurred by OAH, reimbursed to OAH. This agreement takes effect July 1, 2010, and expires when all adjudication services under it have been completed and reimbursement of all costs to OAH by the borough has been made.

Because the Borough wished to use Lot 2A for a purpose which was neither a permitted nor a conditional use in a PL zoning district, the Borough sought to have P&Z determine, first, that using Lot 2A for storage and remediation of contaminated soil was similar in character and impact to properties used for "governmental mainte- nance and service facilities and storage yards," a listed condi- tional use in a PL district. Assuming the requested determination, were made, it further asked P&Z to issue a conditional use permit allowing such use. At the March 17 meeting, P&Z declined to issue the similar use determination requested by the Borough and further declined to issue the conditional use permit which it sought. The commission subsequently adopted findings of fact separately supporting both decisions. On May 28, 2010 the Borough filed an appeal seeking to have the hearing officer "reverse P&Z's denial of similar use determina- tion and approve conditional use permit.jW Its written argument favoring reversal of the P&Z decision takes issue solely with the commission's findings regarding the similar use determination. Thus it appears that the Borough is under the mistaken impression that, had P&Z issued the similar use determination which the Borough sought, the Borough would automatically have been entitled to issuance of a conditional use permit. This is not the case. In any event, Mr. Ashford feels that P&Z correctly denied both the similar use determination and the conditional use permit and V Appeal Application at 3 of 3.

II. THE APPEAL SHOULD BE DENIED. A. KIBC 17.15.090B Precludes the Similar Use Determination Which the Borough Sought. Section 17.15.090 of the Borough Code reads: KIBC 17.15.090 Similar uses may be permitted. A. Land uses other than those specifi- cally permitted or conditionally permitted in a district may be allowed if they are similar to those listed and are found by the commis- sion, after a public hearing, to be similar in character and impact. B. In all cases, the outdoor storage of materials and equipment is prohibited unless it is listed as a permitted or conditional use in a district. (Emphasis added). The highlighted language of paragraph B controls the result in this case and requires a denial of the Borough's appeal because the use which it seeks to make of Lot 2A involves "outdoor storage of materials" — i.e., contaminated soil — and thus may not be the subject of a similar use determination under paragraph A. The record is, of course, replete with references to the proposed use of Lot 2A being to store or stockpile the contaminated soil. Thus the Borough's application for the Conditional Use Permit describes the "proposed use of property" as "temporary storage of contaminated soil,"i/ the Borough's submission to P&Z acknowledged that it would be "storing contaminated soils," 2/ and the Borough staff report of February 25, 2010 stated that "[t]he proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage.je1 Such si R. 31 J R. 104 of 105 ei R. 17 of 105 Argument Opposing the Appeal - Jim Ashford Page 3 of 6 mz zs w we 1 n'1N wgF F o Qw Z Qy4 w ,C-AOwa(0 )-.1 " 0 W 2 0 C0 a a use may not be authorized under KIBC 17.15.090A because it is flatly prohibited by KIBC 17.15.090B.9V B. Even in the Absence of KIBC 17.15.090B, P&Z's Decision to Dent/ the Similar Use Determination Which the Borough Sought Was Correct. That the Borough's attempt to equate "governmental maintenance and service facilities and storage yards" with the outdoor storage and remediation of contaminated soil is neither logical nor reasonable is demonstrated by the outpouring of public comment against what it was attempting to do in the present case. It is one thing to live in the vicinity of a maintenance and service facility which might at times and in part be devoted to the storage of materials such as sand or rock salt, but quite another to have an adjoining property devoted to the storage of contaminated or otherwise hazardous materials which are to be "remediated" through procedures which "include screening, segregation, aeration and disposal." Indeed, the Borough's written argument in favor of its appeal doesn't truly address this point. Instead, it simply labels as irrelevant any and all arguments presented in opposition to its plans. The standards which P&Z is obligated to apply in determin- ing whether or not to granting a conditional use permit require it to find, among other things that the conditional use "will preserve the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area" and "will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort." Furthermore, "[t]he conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow consideration of the impact of the proposed J For examples of outdoor storage listed as either a permitted or conditional use see KIBC 17.90.020W, 17.105.O10J and U, and 17.120.0400.

C. The Borough's Attempt to Supplement the Record With A Letter Written Well After the Decision From Which It Has Appealed in Inappropriate. The Borough has attached to its written argument a letter dated May 21, 2010 from William Cornell of the Alaska DEC' to Kenneth Smith of the Borough. While styled a "status update," that letter looks suspiciously like a document prepared with this specific appeal in mind. It therefore should not be considered in rendering a decision on this appeal.' III. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission should be upheld and the appeal of the Kodiak Island Borough denied.W KIBC 17.200.010 11/ KIBC 17.225.070D states that the board of adjustment (and thus the hearing examiner) shall decide the appeal upon the appeal record, the written and oral argument, and the testimony and evidence presented on the appeal. The author of the letter here in question would not be authorized to present written or oral argument pursuant to KIBC 17.225.060, so it would appear inappropriate to allow him to "testify" through the admission of this letter. 1.1/ For the record, Mr. Ashford wishes formally to object the the actions of the Borough in hurriedly amending the Borough Code, after this appeal was filed, so as to authorize a hearing examiner other than a Borough resident to hear and decide this case. Needless to say, the necessity of making this objection to preserve the record is in no way meant as a comment upoj the hearing examiner's qualifications or neutrality.

Javier, MC Borough Clerk Cc: CDDIP&ZC Oral Statement/Official Finding Of Judge Jeffrey Friedman Regarding Case No. 10-016. Denial Of A Similar Use Determination And A Conditional Use Permit, In Accordance With KIBC 17.15.090 (Similar Uses) And KIBC 17.130.030 (Conditional Uses) To Store and Remediate Diesel Contaminated Soil Presently Stored at The Kodiak High School and That It Is Similar In Character to a Government Maintenance and Service Facility and Storage Yard That Is Conditionally Permitted in the PI -Public Use Lands Zoning District. The Appellant is the Kodiak Island Borough. The Location is 2647 Selief Lane - Lakeside Subdivision, 2nd Addition, Lot 2A and the Zoning is PI -Public Use Lands. The hearing was held on July 15, 2010. I think first of all it is •important to recognize that enforcing zoning regulations has a cost. Those regulations are in place because the Borough Assembly has concluded that the public benefit from those regulations outweighs that cost. But the decision has to look at both the cost of the public if the conditional use is granted and the cost to the public if it is not granted. There are costs either way. Under Borough Code section 17.15.090, property may be used for a purpose that is similar to a use that is allowed for the land under the applicable zoning provision. Public land such as the lot at issue here may be used as a maintenance and service facility and storage yard. And that's 17.130.030D. I believe this provision covers two separate uses, uses as a maintenance and service facility and use as a storage yard. I find that the government storage yards are a listed allowable conditional use for land zone for public use. Accordingly, I believe that 17.15.090B does not prohibit a finding that the storage of this soil is a similar use. Looking at whether storage and remediation of soil is similar in character and impact to the allowable use as a storage yard, we look at both the character and impact. Character of use is based on the visual and aesthetic nature of the use. Impact focuses on thingslike utilities, storm water draining, traffic, and other ways in which, having that use in that neighborhood will impact others. Storage yards are generally not particularly visually or aesthetically pleasing. The proposed use of this property to store covered soil is similar in character to the conditionally allowed use of this property. It's difficult to determine the impact of this storage, and to decide whether it is similar to the impact of other storage yards. There was not a whole lot of evidence in the record from which to gauge this. Certainly the original placement of the soil on the lot will have an impact just because of the effort to transport and screen the soil. Over the long run; however, I believe it will probably have no more than an impact than any other area used to store materials. I find that the proposed storage and remediation is similar in character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard. The more difficult question in this case is the second one, which is whether it is appropriate or whether a conditional use permit may be granted to allow the storage and remediation of this soil. Code section 17.200.050 sets out the standards that must be met before a conditional use may be granted. First one (A) will the conditional use preserve the value, spirit, character, and integrity of the surrounding area? Mr. Ashford's testimony was compelling. He owns both storage facilities and a home immediately adjacent to where the soil will be stored. Other comments in the record from the members of the community also suggests that soil remediation Page 1 of 3 will affect the value and spirit of the surrounding area. This is the factor that I struggled the longest with, that I have, that I think is certainly the closest in the record here in terms of how it should come out. But ultimately, I had to look at the fact that the surrounding areas is not just residential. That the surrounding area has a mixture of industrial, commercial, recreational, and residential uses. The satellite photograph on the record shows a substantial buffer between the soil storage area and the residential areas. There is also a substantial distance between the recreational ball field and the storage area. It is true that other parts of that lot are used as more informal recreational areas but I gave that less weight than the fact that there's an organized ball field at one end. Character and spirit of a community are largely emotional issues. And storage of what some people would call hazardous waste, what other people would call soil can be a very emotional issue. But ultimately I believe that this use, this storage covered soil with a fence around it will preserve the value, spirit, and character, and integrity of the surrounding area. (B) Will the conditional use fulfill all the other pertinent zoning standards? I believe this factor means that the use cannot violate any other standard based on the evidence in the record. I find that the use for the storage for the soil remediation does not violate any other pertinent zoning standard. Will granting the conditional use be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience, and comfort? The storage of this soil is subject to Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation regulations and oversight. There is clearly public concern that this storage is not safe but there is no evidence in the record that it is in fact not safe. Conditions can and will be required that limit the length of time the soil can be stored and that also limit a casual access to the soil. I find that granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience, and comfort. Are there sufficient setbacks, buffers, and other safeguards? Mr. Ashford's home is 5 feet from this lot line and it is not known how far on the other side of the lot line the soil will be. The setbacks in 17.130.050 seem to apply only to where a building may be located and not to where materials may be stored. I believe this factor can be addressed with an appropriate condition on a conditional use permit. The proposed site plan as well as the existing setbacks and buffers provide sufficient setbacks and buffers. Additional safeguards will be required by the conditional use permit. Is this use located in a manner which will maximize public benefits? The site is currently being used by the public for recreational activities. That use will be precluded or limited by use of this site for soil remediation. Balanced against that for public inconvenience is the need to move the soil from its current location is currently being stored at the local high school which is at least as limiting and imposes at least as much of a burden on that area as this soil would impose in the new area. Also to be considered is the cost of finding other property where the soil can be remediated. This particular site is already owned by the Borough, is cleared and ready for the soil to be relocated. I find that the conditional use being allowed, is in a manner that will maximize public benefits. Page 2 of 3 Based on the findings of fact previously discussed, the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision is reversed. A conditional use permit is granted to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of contaminated soil on Lot 2A, Lakeshore (Lakeside) Subdivision, 2°' Addition, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. Storage of the contaminated soil will be done in a manner that complies to any applicable regulations of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. 2. Storage of the soil will be consistent with the contaminated soil stocked pile work plan for the Kodiak High School Soil Remediation dated June 2009 as contained in the record on appeal. 3. The maximum duration of the temporary storage and passive remediation is limited to 2.5 years from the date of approval of the conditional use permit. 4. The storage area will be secured with at least a temporary chain link fence to protect the storage cells from casual access by the public. 5. The fence around the storage area will be at least 25 feet from any lot line. This is the final decision in this appeal. Any person aggrieved by a final decision of the board of adjustment under this chapter may appeal that decision to the superior court within 30 days of the decision. An appeal to superior court shall be heard solely on the record before the board of adjustment or its hearing examiner and the commission. The appeal procedure shall be governed by the rules set forth in Part Six of the Rules of Appellate Procedure for the state of Alaska. The findings of the board of adjustment shall not be reversed if, in light of the whole record, they are supported by substantial evidence. And I close the hearing tonight. Thank you very much. Clerk's Note: Oral statement regarding his official finding starts at 57:03 on the recording. Page 3 of 3 A. This request is to allow a variance from dimensional requirements of the zoning code and, as such, the grant of said variance will not permit a prohibited land use in the district involved. B. Same as for A. OLD BUSINESS A) Case 10-016. Adopt findings of fact in support of the commission's denial of a Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit, in accordance with KIBC 17.15.090 (Similar Uses) and KIBC 17.130.030 (Conditional Uses) to store and remediate diesel contaminated soil presently stored at the Kodiak High School and that it is similar in character to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is conditionally permitted in the PL -Public Use Lands zoning district. The applicant is the Kodiak Island Borough. The location is 2647 Selief Lane - Lakeside Subdivision, god Addition, Lot 2A and the zoning is PL -Public Use Lands. Dvorak stated the commission denied this request in March and it was inadvertently omitted from the April agenda where you would have adopted the findings of fact. Staff did recommend approval on that case so the denial requires the commission to develop their own findings of fact. Staff heard from 2 commissioners on recommended findings and staff has attempted to draft findings based on that input. COMMISSIONER JANZ stated she wanted to add under the CUP to support 2 items out of the Borough Strategic Plan. COMMISSIONER TORRES MOVED to adopt "Findings of Fact" for this case. in support of denial for a similar use determination, per KIBC 17.15.090, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soils, as a use similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use, per KIBC 17.130.030. Discussion FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The denial of this similar use determination is based upon the information contained in the staff report and upon the timely written comments and verbal testimony heard by the commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. 2. The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is not similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. 3. Based on public testimony, the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation is not compatible with other uses in the area and other uses allowed in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. In particular, the development of a portion of 2A for parks and recreation use and additional park and recreation improvem recommended in the KIB CIP by the Parks & Recreation Committee, make this • . incompatible with the proposed use. 4. There has been considerable work done by City of Kodiak Parks and Recrer; Department to maintain and operate the Dark Lake Fields, a further indication o,1 incompatible nature of the use. 5. Although this is an industrial area, the proximity to residential use, public use, , baseball fields), and shopping centers does not lend itself to the reclamatia contaminated soils. May 12, 2010 P&Z Special Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 6. There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil reclamation. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY COMMISSIONER TORRES MOVED to adopt "Findings of Fact" in support of denial for a conditional use permit (CUP) request, according to K1BC 17130.030 and KIBC 17.200, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil on Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2nd Addition. Dvorak stated this is the findings for the conditional use permit. Normally, there are 4 standards for a conditional use permit but for public uses standard tt5 is also applicable. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integrity of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixed use area of industrial, commercial, recreational and residential uses. The mixed use nature of the area makes this site incompatible with the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation activities. 2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chanter nertainipg to the conditional use in question, Although the contaminated soil would be enclosed in ADEC approved storage cells, the storage and periodic disturbance of the soils would be incompatible with the surrounding land uses. 3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety. convenience and comfort The proposed use would be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience or comfort. 4. The sufficient setbacks. lot area buffers or other safeguards are be'ng provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. The proposed use, even with stipulations attached, cannot be made compatible with the existing pattern of mixed uses in the surrounding area. 5. The proposed use or structure is located in a manner which will maximize public benefits, The KIBEFD has maintained the storage of the contaminated soils on the high school location where they originated for nearly three years. If the material is required to be moved from its site of origin it should be transported to a more suitable location or shipped off island. Although this is an industrial use area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (i.e.; baseball fields), and shopping centers, does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated sail. There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil remediation.

Bill Kersch said he's really surprised by this Similar Use Determination case because of all of the work done to get that lot cleaned up and that we would actually go backwards. It would open the door for all the other soil remediation projects island wide to use that site and then we end up with that whole lot ending up as a remediation site for the whole borough. There's space at the municipal airport; there are hangars that aren't being used, there's broken down airplanes that haven't been touched in years, and he feels it would be a better site because it's already contaminated. It is a nice area to have cleaned up for the kids to use and he'd hate to see it blocked off by big piles especially when we are looking at our CIP list. 3/17/2010 P&Z Minutes Page 5 of 6 May 13, 2010 Mr. Woody Koning Engineering & Facilities Dept. 710 Mill Bay Road Kodiak, AK 99615 Kodiak Island Borough Community Development Department 710 Mill Bay Road Kodiak, Alaska 99615 Phone (907) 486-9363 Fax (907) 486-9396 www.kodiakak.us Re: Case 10-016 Request a Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit, in accordance with KIBC 17.15.090 (Similar Uses) and KIBC 17.130.030 (Conditional Uses) to store and remediate diesel contaminated soil presently stored at the Kodiak High School and that it similar in character to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is conditionally permitted in the PL -Public Use Lands zoning district. Dear Mr. Koning: The Planning & Zoning Commission, at their regular meeting on March 17, 2010, denied the request referenced above. The commission adopted Findings of Fact at their May 12, 2010 special meeting in support of their decision. FINDINGS OF FACT - SIMILAR USE DETERMINATION 1. The denial of this similar use determination is based upon the information contained in the staff report and upon the timely written comments and verbal testimony heard by the commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. 2. The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is not similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. 3. Based on public testimony, the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation is not compatible with other uses in the area and other uses allowed in the PL - Public Use Land zoning district. In particular, the development of a portion of Lot 2A for parks and recreation use and additional park and recreation improvements recommended in the KIB CIP by the Parks & Recreation Committee, make this site incompatible with the proposed use. 4. There has been considerable work done by City of Kodiak Parks and Recreation Department to maintain and operate the Dark Lake Fields, a further indication of the incompatible nature of the use. 5. Although this is an industrial area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (i.e. baseball fields), and shopping centers does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soils. 6. There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil reclamation. FINDINGS OF FACT — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integrity of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixed use area of industrial, commercial, recreational and residential uses. The mixed use nature of the area makes this site incompatible with the proposed use for contaminated soil storage and passive remediation activities. 2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. Although the contaminated soil would be enclosed in ADEC approved storage cells, the storage and periodic disturbance of the soils would be incompatible with the surrounding land uses. 3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort The proposed use would be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience or comfort. 4. The sufficient setbacks, lot area buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. The proposed use, even with stipulations attached, cannot be made compatible with the existing pattern of mixed uses in the surrounding area. 5. The proposed use or structure is Located in a manner which will maximize public benefits. The KIBEFD has maintained the storage of the contaminated soils on the high school location where they originated for nearly three years. If the material is required to be moved from its site of origin it should be transported to a more suitable location or shipped off island. Although this is an industrial use area, the proximity to residential use, public use, (Le.; baseball fields), and shopping centers, does not lend itself to the reclamation of contaminated soil. There are other areas in the borough that have been zoned and/or approved for soil remediation.

Dvorak stated the commission denied this request in March and it was inadvertently omitted from the April agenda where you would have adopted the findings of fact. Staff did recommend approval on that case so the denial requires the commission to develop their own findings of fact. Staff heard from 2 commissioners on recommended findings and staff has attempted to draft findings based on that input. COMMISSIONER JANZ stated she wanted to add under the CUP to support 2 items out of the Borough Strategic Plan. COMMISSIONER TORRES MOVED to adopt "Findings of Fact" for this case. in support of denial for a similar use determination, per KIBC 17.15.090, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soils, as a use similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use, per KIBC 17.130.030.

REQUEST: A Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit, in accordance with KIBC 17.15.090 (Similar Uses) and KIBC 17.130.030 (Conditional Uses) to store and remediate diesel contaminated soil presently stored at the Kodiak High School and that it is similar in character to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard that is conditionally permitted in the PL—Public Use Lands zoning district. LOCATION: 2647 Selief Lane – Lakeside Subdivision, 2nd Addition, Lot 2A ZONING: PL -Public Use Land Applicable Regulations: The following sections of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code and the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management Program are applicable: 17.15.050 APPROVAL BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. When it is stated in this title that uses are permitted subject to approval by the commission, an application for consideration shall be submitted to the community development department with a site plan. The commission shall make its findings within 40 days of the date the application is submitted and notify the applicant, in writing, of the decision. If denied, the commission shall state the reasons for denial and the avenues of appeal available to the applicant. 17.225.020 POWERS OF THE BOARD. The board of adjustment shall hear and decide: A. Appeals from the decisions of the commission regarding alleged errors in enforcement of zoning ordinances and building codes; B. Appeals from the decision of the commission on requests for conditional uses; C. Appeals from the decisions of the commission on requests for variances from the terms of the zoning ordinances and from findings as may be required by sections of this title. 17.225.030 PERSONS WHO MAY APPEAL. A written decision of the commission granting or denying approval under the requirements of this title may be appealed by: 1 of 105 A. The applicant; or B. Any person who was sent a written notice or submitted timely written comments or gave oral testimony at the public hearing before the commission. 17.215.020 COMMENCEMENT OF APPEAL — STAY. A. A decision of the commission is final unless an appeal of the decision is made within 10 working days after the decision by the commission to the board of adjustment. B. An appeal is commenced by filing with the clerk a written notice of appeal, specifically stating the reasons for the appeal and the relief sought, and payment of the appropriate fee. Upon commencement of an appeal, the decision appealed from is stayed until the decision on appeal becomes final. C. The running of the time for filing an appeal from a decision of the commission is terminated by a timely petition for reconsideration, filed in accordance with KIBC 17.225.010. The full time for an appeal begins to run again on the date of the decision of the commission on reconsideration. 17.200.080 APPEALS. The commission's action may be appealed to the assembly by any party. Right of appeal is forfeited unless the appeal is filed within 20 consecutive days of the commission's decision. COMMENTS The above referenced similar use determination and conditional use permit were denied by the Commission at the March 17, 2010 regular meeting. The adoption of findings was deferred to the next regular meeting agenda but were inadvertently omitted from the April agenda. In order to adopt findings, it is essential for Commissioner's on the prevailing side to summarize their rationale in writing so that staff can prepare draft findings in memorandum format. KIBC 17.15.050 requires the Commission to state the reasons for denial (where specific findings are not prescribed in other relevant code chapters) and to inform the applicant of the avenues of appeal. Two commissioners have provided written findings. It was not entirely clear to staff whether these findings were intended for the similar use determination or the CUP. As a result, the commission should review this memorandum and the draft findings to ensure that the rationales outline here in draft are indeed consistent with the intentions of the commission prior to adoption of findings. Where the written findings were not specific to certain CUP standards, staff has re- written the findings to support denial and will rely on the commission to further clarify what was intended, if necessary. As noted in prior cases, this review and adoption of findings is not intended to be a further review of the decision in this case, but simply an opportunity to complete the decision by the adoption of findings in support of the decision. The petitioner or an aggrieved party may then consider these findings in terms of whether to appeal or to let the decision stand. It is not essential to agree with the fmdings personally so long as the Commission believes they are reflective of the rationale expressed by the prevailing member(s) of the Commission for this case. 2 of 105 Without the adoption of findings the decision remains incomplete. Staff would note that each part of the decision is appealable to the borough assembly, however the similar use determination has a ten (10) working day appeal period and the CUP has a 20 consecutive day appeal period. The appeal periods do not begin until the decision is completed by the adoption of "Findings of Fact". RECOMMENDATION The commission must adopt findings that represent the rationale behind the decisions to deny the similar use determination and conditional use permit as required by borough code and state statute.

This contaminated soil was excavated and stored as an unanticipated result of an underground fuel storage tank replacement project completed in 2007. Once the soils have been relocated, the soils will be uncovered and turned over to aerate the soil periodically as a form of passive remediation. This remediation method relies on natural 14 of 105 bacteria to breakdown the hydrocarbon contaminants and the bacteria require periodic aeration in order to function at optimal efficiency. The total time projected for storage and remediation is expected to take at least two seasons with periodic testing conducted to help determine the effectiveness of the remediation process. Once the soil is considered clean by ADEC standards it will be disposed of either on site or at another location to be determined. Currently there are five (5) contaminated soil stockpiles staged at the high school site, each contained within an individually lined cell. Although contaminated soil stockpiles are not typically permitted in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district, these byproducts of the underground storage tank replacement may be considered to be subsidiary and incidental to the operation of the site just as we would distinguish the large underground storage tank itself from being consider bulk fuel storage as a principal use. Once the material is severed from the site of origination however, it must be addressed under the zoning on the merits of the perceived consistency between the use proposed and the uses allowed in the particular zoning district. In this case, the KIBEFD proposes to relocate and reorganize the contaminated material on Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2nd Addition. In the process of relocating the contaminated soils, the soils will be field screened and tested by an analytical sampling methodology in order to allow the more contaminated soils to be grouped together and the less contaminated soils to be grouped together. According to the Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan, submitted by TELLUS, Ltd., and dated June 2009, all contaminated soil removed from the Kodiak High School stockpiles will be segregated, transported to and staged at the new (proposed) contaminated soil staging area located at Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision (2"d Addition). Upon relocation, the stockpiles will be labeled, covered and secured. After the soil is relocated and the associated analytical results are obtained, efforts will be directed towards reviewing existing soil disposal or treatment options. The contractor indicates that thorough efforts will be made to prevent the escapement of any liquid and/or contaminated soil during the loading and hauling activities involved in relocating the materials. All contaminated soil to be temporarily stockpiled will be placed upon a petroleum resistant liner having a minimum thickness of 20 mil. In addition, all temporary soil stockpiles will be constructed in a way that will not retain water and be in accordance with ADEC's Long -Term Contaminated Soil Stockpiling Requirements as set forth in 18 AAC 78.370). Additional conditions set forth in the proposal are as follows. No contaminated soil will be: Placed within 30 feet of the edge of a gravel pad or native vegetation, Placed within 100 feet of any surface water body, Used for berms or containment structures, or Used to cover/bury any items or debris. All stockpiled soil will have been initially field screened, segregated into lots and preliminarily classified. The soil lots can then be covered with 10 mil, nylon reinforced, plastic top cover. The temporary contaminated soil stockpiles and the surrounding area will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. 15 of 105 Similar Use Determination This case is being presented in two phases based on the nature of the proposed use and the zoning district involved. Similar use determinations are permitted at the Commission's discretion under KIBC 17.15.090. The petitioner, KIB Engineering & Facilities (KIBEFD), has requested a similar use determination to determine that the storage and passive remediation of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil presently stored at the Kodiak High School is similar in character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard which is a conditionally permitted use in the PL -Public Use Zone. As staff has done in previous cases, both the similar use determination and the conditional use permit are being presented in one staff report. However, the Commission should keep in mind that these are two separate decisions, even though it is only one land use request, and that each decision has its own code criteria for review. Staff is presenting the similar use determination first because if, after review, the Commission finds that the proposed use is not similar in character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard, then the conditional use permit is largely a moot point. The basic outline of the applicant's request is presented in the preceding section and staff did discuss this request with KIBEFD staff prior to application submittal. Due to the fact that the proposed soil remediation use does not involve thermal desorption (i.e. heating/burning) methods as part of the remediation process, staff believes this request is an equivalent use similar to a government maintenance facility. As indicated in the petitioner's submittal, the contaminated soil will be stored on Lot 2A temporarily, in accordance with ADEC requirements, and in cells very similar to the ones currently located on the high school site. The material will be segregated into two categories, minimally contaminated and substantially contaminated. Although the submittal focuses mainly on the stockpiling and testing plan, verbal communication with KIBEFD staff indicates that the chosen remediation method is a passive one that relies on natural bacteria to break down the hydrocarbon contamination. The process is expected to take at least two seasons and will require occasional uncovering of the material to aerate the soils. In the process of analyzing the similar use, staff has relied upon the definitions contained in the "The Latest Illustrated Book of Development Definitions". The similar use determination is based upon two principal criteria, is the proposed use similar character to a permitted or conditional in the zoning district, and is the use similar in impact. As referenced on page 73 of the "development dictionary", character is largely based on the visual and aesthetic nature of the uses being compared. Page 201 of the "development dictionary discusses impact analysis which focuses on the direct and indirect effects of a proposed development on utilities, storm water, traffic circulation and other factors. Although not a named criterion in the similar use procedure, staff believes that these two criteria, taken together, speak to the compatibility of the land use in surrounding land use context (page 86). On the other pages of the "development dictionary" staff has provided a number of definitions to describe what activities may be represented by a "government maintenance and service facility and storage yard". These definitions include, but may not be limited to, automobile repair, 16 of 105 automobile service garage, automotive repair services and garages, garage municipal, garage public, garage repair. Staff has also included a definition of government agency (page 175) given that the intent of the PL -Public Use Land zone is heavily based on a premise of government ownership and use. Without getting into a detailed analysis of the preceding definitions, staff will instead provide a couple of examples that are believed to be representative of maintenance and service faculties and storage yards. Lot 28 and 29B, U.S. Survey 3098 is the City of Kodiak Public Works garage and storage yard. Tract C -1A is the Brechan Enterprises maintenance and storage yard. Lot 23, U.S. Survey 3098 is the Redhook Construction maintenance garage and storage site. Although these examples include both government and private sector maintenance and storage facilities, staff believes that these sites are directly comparable to the conditional use of "government maintenance and service facility and storage yard" that is set forth in the PL -Public Use Land zone. On these sites are stored heavy equipment and other related materials. In many cases equipment is field serviced outside with lube trucks, occasional fuel transfers and the sites may be generally used for storage of all manner of equipment and material when not in use on construction projects or road maintenance activities. Interestingly, staff notes that there is evidence of equipment storage and maintenance on the lots across the street from the proposed site (Tract A and Lot 7, Industrial Park Subdivision). While the above referenced sites are all located in the business zones, it is the use and activities that staff believes to be directly comparable to the similar use request in this case. Each of the preceding examples implies some incidental risk of site contamination with fuel or lube oils, however this is regulated by ADEC and these users will typically have absorbents and other clean-up materials available to address such incidental contamination. The proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage (subject to ADEC regulation and monitoring) with occasional aeration of the stored soils. Given the passive nature of the use, the location and size of the site, and the level of risk involved with handling the material, staff believes this use is similar to the government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use identified in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. That said, staff believes that it may be prudent to place certain conditions on the proposed use to further define the limits of the use and to ensure the use does not result in a negative impact to the surrounding area. In order to provide limits on this use and to give meaning to the word "temporary" as used in the application materials, staff recommends that a 3 or 4 year limit be placed on the use. This will help to ensure that the project will be completed and demobilized within a reasonable time frame or, if not, a further showing of need be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission to justify an extension of the conditional use permit. Conditions of approval will be addressed in the conditional use portion of this staff report. The application references that the new storage cells will be "secured" at the new site. Staff would suggest it be made clear that this will include temporary fencing similar to what is already in place the a the high school location. There is evidence of off-road vehicle activity at this site and it would not prudent to allow casual access to these storage cells that might increase the potential for cell damage or leakage. 17 of 105 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that proposed storage and occasional aeration of contaminated soil is similar in both character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land, subject to certain conditions of approval to limit the use. APPROPRIATE MOTIONS One appropriate motion is: Move to grant a similar use determination, per KIBC 17.15.090, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of hearing oil (diesel) contaminated soils as a use similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use per KIBC 17.130.030, and to approve the findings in the staff report dated February 25, 2010 as "Findings of Fact" for this case. Findings of Fact Findings of fact in support of this decision are as follows: 1. This similar use determination is based upon the information submitted by the applicant, the Kodiak Island Borough Engineering and Facilities Department (KIBEFD), and review of the applicable zoning requirements and land use characteristics. 2. The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is determined to be similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard on the basis of land use and zoning criteria. 3. Concerns about site layout or compatibility with surrounding uses will be addressed by the Commission in the context of the conditional use portion of this case, regarding the need for stipulations or conditions of approval to ensure that the use is compatible with the PL -Public Use Land zone or other uses in the surrounding area. 18 of 105 Conditional Use Permit RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission approve a conditional use permit for Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2nd Addition, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil, subject to conditions of approval. APPROPRIATE MOTION Should the Commission agree with the staff reconunendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to grant a conditional use permit (CUP), according to IUBC 17.130.030 and KIBC 17.200, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil on Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2nd Addition, subject to conditions of approval, and to adopt the "Findings of Fact" in the staff report dated February 25, 2010, as findings of fact for this case. Condition of Approval 1. The conditional use permit (CUP) is based upon and limited to the representations Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan for Kodiak High School Soil Remediation Project, dated June 2009. 2. The maximum duration of the "temporary" storage and passive remediation is limited to four years from the date of the CUP approval. 3. The soil storage cells will be secured with a temporary chain link fence, similar to that erected at the high school storage location, in order to protect the storage cells from casual access by the public. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integrity of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixed use area of industrial, commercial, recreational and residential uses. Based on the nature of the proposed use as discussed in the similar use determination the use, subject to conditions of approval, is compatible with the uses of the surrounding area. The site is substantially from the RR1 zoned area by substantial topography and at least 100 feet of greenbelt buffer and road right-of-way located at the edge of Lot 2A. The use is considered similar in character and impact to that of several maintenance and storage sites located along Mill Bay Road and perhaps of the equipment storage and activities occurring across the street from the proposed storage site. 19 of 105 The conditional use is limited to contaminated soil storage and passive soil remediation as described in the proposal. Any other use or form of soil remediation would require a new similar use and conditional use permit review for this site. 2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. The building design and site plan materials submitted for review with this conditional use permit (CUP) meet or exceed all requirements of the PL -Public Use Land zoning district and the CUP standards. 3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort The proposed use will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience or comfort. The contaminated soils have been stored in a very public location near the high school and borough buildings. The soil storage, remediation and handling activities will all be undertaken in accordance with the applicable ADEC regulations and overseen by a qualified contractor working directly with KIBEFD. Additional conditions are being required to ensure the use is of a limited duration and that the site is not available for casual access by unauthorized persons. 4. The sufficient setbacks, lot area buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. The PL -Public Use Land Zone has substantial setbacks and minimum lot dimensions that that are met and exceeded on the proposed site plan. The site is largely bounded by industrial and commercial lands. There is substantial topography, fencing, vegetation and physical separation between the proposed storage site and nearby RRl zoned residential areas along Dark Lake Road. Because of the evidence of public access to the site, additional conditions or safeguards will be applied to the proposed use to ensure that the use does not create a negative impact to the surrounding area. 5. The proposed use or structure is located in a manner which will maximize public benefits. The KIBEFD has maintained the storage of the contaminated soils on the high school location where they originated for nearly three years. The location and manner of storage at this location does not permit adequate room for even passive soil remediation and due to the amount of public access it is not considered practical or advisable to remediate the soils at this location. The site at Lot 2A is a level and well drained area that permits a great deal of area to work in. The land is owned by the borough and the storage of the contaminated soils can be undertaken without interference of other uses taking place in the area. 20 of 105 ThOAIIIUS Bookiiiii1JE111.1J2h1Edlif of NEW EXPANDED EDITION HARVEY S.

CHANNEL CHANNELIZATION had been conducted previously, e.g., food had been served previously and continued to be; there had been music in the restaurant and continued to be; there was serving of alcoholic beverages previously and con- tinued to be. The Supreme Court held that this quan- titative analysis was improper and that the focus in cases of this type must be on the quality, character and intensity of the use viewed in their totality and with regard to the overall effect on the neighborhood and zoning plan (83 N.J. 309 at 314). As a restaurant it had been open every day but now was open only one day and three evenings; the primary use of the dance hall had been incidental to dining but was now a primary use; the music was formerly provided by live bands and was now recorded; admission charges were now made whereas there had been none; the bulk of the prior business was food catering, which now was discontinued. The Court concluded that there had indeed been a change of use and that the defendant was properly convicted.... The Supreme Court [also] noted that "an increase in the time period during which a conforming use is operated may justifiably be the basis for finding an unlawful extension thereof, just as changes in the functional uses of the land or increases in the area of use have been." (Belleville v. Pamllo's, Inc. at 317-18) A watercourse with a definite bed and banks that con- fine and conduct the normal continuous or intermit- tent flow of water. (1) The straightening and deepening of channels and/ or the surfacing thereof to permit water to move rap- idly and/or directly; (2) a traffic control device that forces vehicles into certain traffic flows or turning movements. CHARACTER Special physical characteristics of a structure or area that set it apart from its surroundings and contribute to its interest and/or individuality. Comment: Examples of an area's character might in- clude: a pattern of residential gridiron, tree -lined streets with alleys for garage access and trash removal; a busi- ness district with uniformity in building scale, materi- als, setbacks, street furniture, and sign design; or a wa- terfront promenade with fountains, public art, and de- sign -coordinated street furniture of benches, light stan- dards, and trash receptacles. 73 23 of 105 Comment: Auto malls are very large establishments, often consisting of several dealerships. They are the result of the increasing cost of retail auto sales and cost efficiencies from combining services facilities. Because of their size, they are usually located on the outside of the central business district and developed commer- cial areas. They require large tracts of land, often in excess of 30 or more acres with good access. Planning considerations include controls on lighting and signage and requirements for screening and landscaping. A major problem is that because of their large size and combined repair facilities, auto malls may generate sig- nificant environmental problems, including pollution and runoff. ("Acres of Automobiles," Zoning News, June 1997) AUTOMOBILE REPAIR AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SERVICES, MAJOR AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SERVICES, MINOR See AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SERVICES AND GARAGES; GARAGE, REPAIR. General repair, rebuilding, or reconditioning of engines, motor vehicles, or trailers, including bodywork, weld- ing, and major painting service. The replacement or repair of any automobile part that does not require removal of the engine head or pan, engine transmission, or differential but may include incidental body and fender work, minor painting, and upholstering service. AUTOMOBILE SALES AUTOMOBILE SALES, USED The use of any building, land area, or other premise principally for the display, sale, rental, or lease of new or used automobiles (but may include light trucks or vans, trailers, or recreation vehicles), and including any vehicle preparation, warranty, or repair work conducted as an accessory use. The use of land and buildings for the display and sale of primarily used motor vehicles and may include re- pair and service facilities as well as financing and leas- ing services. Comment: The sale of used motor vehicles is cus- tomarily an accessory use to new car dealerships. Used - car superstores are a recent phenomenon, akin to the big box retailers. They usually provide one-stop shop- ping in the sale of used vehicles and include servicing, financing, and similar services. They occupy large land areas, usually on the outskirts of built-up areas. Good access and visibility are critical. As with auto malls, 38 24 of 105 planning considerations include site design, land- scaping, lighting, signage, and pollution. ("Acres of Automobiles," Zoning News, June 1997) AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION Any building, land area, or other premises, or portion thereof, used for the retail dispensing or sales of vehicu- lar fuels; servicing and repair of automobiles; and includ- ing as an accessory use the sale and installation of lubri- cants, tires, batteries, and similar vehicle accessories. Comment: The name "automobile service station" is probably a misnomer as more and more stations con- vert to fuel sales only and no longer undertake vehicle repairs. In addition, many gas -only stations are selling snack food, tobacco, drinks, newspapers, and similar convenience goods as accessory or appurtenant to the principal use. Some additional parking may be needed for shoppers other than those getting gas. At some point, the accessory use may become the principal use. Other zoning considerations include multiple use of the site, parking and circulation, signs, and landscap- ing. See MINIMART. AUTOMOBILE WRECKING YARD An establishment that cuts up, compresses, or other- wise disposes of motor vehicles. See JUNKYARD. Comment: Wrecking yards may also store and sell sal- vaged auto parts, but if so, they function as junkyards. AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SERVICES AND GARAGES Establishments primarily engaged in furnishing auto- motive repair, rental, leasing, and parking services to the general public. Comment: This general category includes all major components of the automotive industry (except the dis- pensing of gas and oil directly into the vehicles), in- cluding parking lots and structures, all types of repairs, car washes, and rental and leasing activities. AUXILIARY LANE AVAILABLE SITE AVERAGE ANNUAL DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT) A part of the roadway striped for use but not for through traffic. A site with clear title, free of encumbrances that pre- clude development for low- and moderate -income hous- ing. (New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing 1993) The total yearly traffic volume in both directions of travel divided by 365. Comment: Generally replaced by Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts. See AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (ADT). 39 25 of 105 More important, however, new houses or expan- sions of existing houses should take place on the lot only in such a manner that the character of the existing streetscape is not seriously affected. This requires that the existing front yard and side yard setbacks remain the same, or in the case of the side yards, any encroach- ment take place toward the rear of the lot. Building heights can be increased, but that part of the roof that is raised should be set back farther from the front build- ing line. One additional point worth noting is that most houses are not built to existing setback requirements, except on very small lots. In other words, on moder- ately sized and larger lots, with the exception of the front building line, many houses can be expanded to the rear and sides and still conform to existing codes. But this type of expansion or new house will be signifi- cantly different from the existing neighborhood char- acter. A detailed survey of the existing development characteristics is needed to establish a realistic and ef- fective set of controls. This type of survey can best be done by the use of aerial photography. See COMMU- NITY DESIGN PLAN; DESIGN FIT. COMPATIBLE LAND USE A use of land and/or building(s) that, in terms of devel- opment intensity, building coverage, design, bulk and occupancy, traffic generation, parking requirements, access and circulation, site improvements, and public facilities and service demands, is consistent with and similar to neighboring uses and does not adversely af- fect the quality of life of persons in surrounding or nearby buildings. See QUALITY OF LIFE; COMPATIBLE DESIGN. Comment: The definition spells out the specific criteria that should be examined but also includes a determi- nation as to whether the use adversely affects the qual- ity of life of the neighborhood residents. Compatible land uses may include different land uses that are mu- tually supportive and necessary, providing goods and services. economic opportunities, and a healthy and safe environment. COMPLETE APPLICATION An application for development completed as specified by ordinance and the rules and regulations of the ap- proving authority and the provisions of all required documents.

GARAGE GARAGE, MUNICIPAL GARAGE, PRIVATE CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE A deck, building, or parking structure, or part thereof, used or intended to be used for the parking and storage of vehicles. Comment: A distinction should be made between park- ing, short- and long-term, and storage, such as that as- sociated with auto sales and unregistered vehicles. A structure owned or operated by a municipality and used primarily for the parking and storage of vehicles owned by the general public. A structure that is accessory to a nonretail, commer- cial, or manufacturing establishment, building, or use and is primarily for the parking and storage of vehicles operated by the customers, visitors, and employees of such building and that is not available to the general public. GARAGE, PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL A structure that is accessory to a single- or two-family dwelling, is used for the parking and storage of vehicles owned and operated by the residents thereof, and is not a separate commercial enterprise available to the general public. Comment: The combination of narrow lots and two -car attached garages can result in visually unattractive "snout houses" or "garage door" streetscapes. Solutions include using detached garages set back from the house with street access or fronting on an alley. In both cases, a covered walkway to the house can be provided. Side - entry garages are another possibility but usually require 170 27 of 105 f 1 s s e r e s e •e at least a 115 -foot lot width. Another solution is sha ing the driveway access and necessary turning courts with the adjacent lot. In this last example, three -bay side -entry garages can be accommodated with no det- riment to the streetscape. See SNOUT HOUSE. GARAGE, PUBLIC GARAGE, REPAIR A structure or portion thereof, other than a private customer and employee garage or private residential garage, used primarily for the parking and storage of vehicles and available to the general public.

Par 3 golf courses have a par on each hole of 3 and an average of 2,000 to 2,500 yards. Typical ancillary facilities include a practice range, a clubhouse with dining facilities, and a pro shop. Other recre- ation activities may occur on portions of the property not developed for golf. The minimum acreage for each type of course is: Regulation: Executive: Par 3: 150 acres 40-75 acres 30 acres A total land area of 250 acres or more is preferred to accommodate 27 holes at each course. Potential for possible future expansion should be considered. The site should have topography, soils, and a configuration that will efficiently support golf course development. The site should be capable of withstanding intensive public use and should include ad- equate parking facilities to accommodate employees and guests. The course should be capable of being developed and operated in a fashion compatible with any significant envi- ronmental features. Land uses within or adjacent to the site should not unduly constrain the site or golf course opera- tion. An adequate water supply for irrigation is required.

IMPACT ANALYSIS A study to determine the potential direct or indirect ef- fects of a proposed development on activities, utilities, stormwater runoff, circulation, surrounding land uses, community facilities, environment, and other factors. Comment: The impact analysis also can include fiscal, aesthetic, social, and legal impacts. The impact analy- sis serves a variety of functions. It should point out what impact the proposed development will have on the factors considered and what steps are needed to mitigate the impact. This is particularly true for envi- ronmental considerations, stormwater management, and utility needs. For projects that require variances, the impact analysis can be used to determine whether substantial detriment would result—an important cri- terion in the granting of a variance. Finally, impact analysis allows the municipality to plan. If, for example, a development of houses is expected to generate a given number of school-age children, an impact analysis can alert the local board of education to the need to ac- commodate the additional load. IMPACT FEE A fee imposed on a development to help finance the cost of improvements or services. Comment: Developers have long been required to pay for the cost of improvements necessitated by a develop- ment. These improvement include on- and off-site roads, utilities, and stormwater management facilities. Devel- opers have also been required to pay for their fair share of off -tract facilities that are needed as a result of their development. Through this method, off -tract intersec- tions may be improved, water and sewer mains enlarged, and additional off -tract drainage basins constructed. Impact fees are an extension of the philosophy that developments should pay their own way. Thus, where permitted by state legislation and local ordinance, an impact fee may be imposed on development for roads, schools, parks, fire stations, libraries, and other such public facilities. Where impact fees are permitted, they must be specific, based on a reasonable formula, and uniformly applied. IMPERMEABLE Not permitting the passage of water.

(TELLUS) on behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough Engineering & Facilities Department (MB) for the Kodiak High School (KHS) Soil Remediation Project located in Kodiak, Alaska. This plan has been developed based on the criteria set forth in State of Alaska Statutes 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78. These regulations serve as the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's (ADEC) environmental compliance guidelines for this project. During this project, previously excavated and stockpiled contaminated soil will be field screened, reloaded into trucks and transported to a new contaminated soil staging area. Field screen testing and subsequent analytical sampling will be performed by TELLUS using appropriate equipment and approved methods to identify, quantify and classify all of the petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil located at KHS. The objective of this project is to collect data and characterize the existing contaminated soil stockpiled at KHS during the proposed soil relocation efforts. After the soil is relocated and the associated analytical results are obtained, efforts can be directed to reviewing existing soil disposal or treatment options. This document is comprised of Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) sections. Subcontractor qualifications are also included in this plan. All future project reports will be formulated and submitted to KIB and then onto ADEC for subsequent review and filing. 09-005cssplan 34 of 105 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan (plan) has been prepared by TELLUS, Ltd. (TELLUS) on behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough Engineering & Facilities Department (KM) for the Kodiak High School (KHS) Soil Remediation Project located in Kodiak, Alaska. This plan has been developed based on the criteria set forth in State of Alaska Statutes 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78. These regulations serve as the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's (ADEC) environmental compliance guidelines for this project. The objective of this project is to collect data and characterize the existing contaminated soil stockpiled at KfIS during the proposed soil relocation activities. After the soil is relocated and the associated analytical results are obtained, efforts can be directed to reviewing existing soil disposal or treatment options. This document is comprised of Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) sections. Subcontractor qualifications are also included in this plan. All future project reports will be formulated and submitted to KIB and then onto ADEC for subsequent review and filing. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION Approximately 1600 cubic yards of contaminated soil was previously excavated and temporarily stockpiled at KHS during KIB's underground storage tank (UST) replacement project completed in 2007. The five (5) contaminated soil stockpiles are staged inside five (5) individually lined cells at KHS. The cells have been enclosed with temporary fencing and are located adjacent to the high school building. Trucks can be loaded easily onsite and any spillage will be cleaned up immediately. 09-O05cssplan 35 of 105 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 3 3.0 HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM (HSP) Initial worker protection will be Level D (contact but non -respiratory) with an upgrade to Level C (contact and respiratory) should site conditions require. All workers will be required to minimize direct contact with hydrocarbon impacted soils. Exposure routes of inhalation, absorption through the skin, ingestion, and eye contact should be avoided. Appropriate protection and personnel behavior complying with the contractor's HSP will be required from all workers onsite. This will minimize the potential for exposure of workers to petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the previously stockpiled soils. Contact protection (Level D) would include: high visibility work -grade outerwear, hardhat, gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, and steel -toe boots while respiratory protection (Level C) would include passive -type, organic cartridge respirators. The consistent presence of elevated volatile levels in the breathing zone will prompt the contractor to review the current level of protection being used and discuss additional upgrades should it be deemed necessary. Ambient air quality monitoring around the existing contaminated soil stockpiles and at the new soil staging area will be performed using an organic vapor monitoring instrument (photoionization detector - PID). All ambient air quality monitoring information will be recorded in the TELLUS Daily Field Reports. The PID will be used to monitor hydrocarbon vapors in the atmosphere of the work area. Permissible levels in the work area should be monitored to determine actual concentrations in the breathing zone. Inhalation represents the most likely exposure pathway for these contaminants of concern. Should hydrocarbon vapors consistently exceed action levels of 20.0 units (PID) the breathing zone without periodic ventilation or a breeze allowing workers to work upwind of the impacted area, an upgrade of worker protection may be necessary. Environmental and occupational safety regulations will be adhered to during all sampling, field screening and environmental monitoring / testing activities performed during this project. 4.0 FIELD SAMPLING PLAN (FSP) Mr. Scott Erdmann of TELLUS will serve as the qualified field sampler and independent environmental consultant for this project. Mr. Erdmann's qualifications are described in his resume which is attached to this document. He is familiar with activities associated with field screening, material sampling, and the interpretation of field and analytical data based on previous project experience, regulatory guidelines, and manufacturer guidance documents. The primary objective of this FSP is to obtain data, provide accurate information for soil classification and allow for segregation and the relocation of the previously stockpiled contaminated soil. 09-005cssplan 36 of 105 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 4 The FSP for this project will incorporate visual inspection, field screen testing, and analytical laboratory testing for hydrocarbon contamination within the stockpiled soil. Visual inspection and field screening will be performed throughout soil relocation activities. 4.1 Field Screening A Mini RAE Lite photoionization detector (PID) is tentatively planned to be used for field screen testing during this project. The PID will be calibrated at the beginning and the end of each work shift using isobutylene calibration gas. The first calibration is intended to set the instrument while the second calibration is performed to measure any instrument drift that may have occurred during the work shift. The calibration methods will be performed by TELLUS personnel in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The PID will be calibrated to the nearest tenth of a unit number. Field screening soil samples will be collected and placed in a plastic Ziploc bag to the level of one-third to one-half capacity. The bag will be sealed and the soil will be allowed to volatilize. The bag and its contents will then be heated to at least 60 degrees F, and a headspace reading will be measured. The associated field screening data will then be recorded in the TELLUS daily field report. This method and the summarized procedure are in compliance with ADEC's current environmental guidance documents. It is anticipated that at least one (1) field screening sample for every twenty five (25) cubic yards of stockpiled soil will be collected, inspected and measured. Based on the estimated volume of 1600 cubic yards, this would yield sixty-four (64) field screening samples. In addition to the PID, TELLUS will utilize the PetroFLAG onsite testing system in order to provide additional field screening data that can be used for correlation with the analytical laboratory results. It is anticipated that between ten (10) and twenty (20) PetroFLAG field tests will be performed, evaluated and recorded. 4.2 Confirmation Soil Sampling Discrete soil sampling procedures, based on field screening results, will be implemented during this project. The discrete soil samples will be collected and submitted for analyses based on observed visual and / or olfactory evidence along with elevated field screening readings as measured by the PID. The discrete samples submitted for analyses will be selected from at least twenty (20) soil samples with the highest field screening readings indicative of typical petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. 09-005cssplan 37 of 105 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 5 In addition, one (1) duplicate sample for every ten (10) discrete confirmation samples will be collected and submitted for analyses. This corresponding rate of ten (10) percent duplicate samples will assist in determining whether quality assurance / quality control objectives have been achieved during this project. The sampling of hydrocarbon contaminated soil will be conducted in accordance with 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78. Sample packaging, handling, documentation, transportation, chain of custody, and reporting procedures will also be performed as specified in these statutes. Samples shall be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO as defined in Section 4.4 (Analytical Program) of this document. The samples will be numerically identified in a manner easy to understand and their locations will be documented in the TELLUS daily field report. The tentative plan is to correlate all field screening and sampling location results to the newly located contaminated soil stockpiles. Disposable sampling supplies will be utilized to minimize decontamination efforts. Decontamination activities required to be conducted as part of this project will be performed as per OSHA, ADEC, and EPA regulations. 4.3 Soil Classification During this project, soil will be classified as: CLEAN - Diesel Range Organics at 0 to 250 ppm Gasoline Range Organics at 0 to 100 ppm and CONTAMINATED — Greater than 250 ppm DRO Greater than 100 ppm GRO Exceeds ADEC Method 2 Soil Cleanup Levels for BTEX 4.4 Analytical Program Analyses to be performed during this project include: aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) using Method 8021B, gasoline range organics (GRO) using Method AK101, and diesel range organics (DRO) using Method AK102. Test America, Inc. (TAI) will be the contract laboratory providing the analytical testing services during this project. Analytical results will be furnished to the KIB within the turn around time requested. 09-005cssplan 38 of 105 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 6 5.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM PLAN (QAPP) ADEC requires that any consultant or field personnel performing environmental monitoring and/or sampling be qualified based on the requirements set forth in 18 AAC 78 and be on ADEC's approved list. Mr. Scott Erdmann of TELLUS is qualified per 18 AAC 78 and is listed with ADEC as an approved environmental professional. Qualitative and quantitative objectives for data quality generated during the performance of monitoring and field sampling are critical to the success of this project. Conclusions and recommendations are formulated from this data and directly affect future project tasks and schedules. It is imperative that the data obtained is carefully evaluated for precision, accuracy, and completeness. KIB and their subcontractors will follow all regulatory and manufacturer guidelines when conducting data acquisition. Test America, Inc. (TAI) is the contract laboratory selected to conduct the analytical portion of this program. TAI is certified by ADEC, EPA, and the ACOE to perform the analytical testing specified in this plan. A copy of TAI's ADEC-approved laboratory QAPP is attached to this document for review. 6.0 CONTAMINATED SOIL RELOCATION & TEMPORARY STOCKPILING All contaminated soil removed from the KHS stockpiles will be segregated, transported to and staged at the new contaminated soil staging area located at Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision. The proposed haul route is to take Mill Bay Road to Von Scheele Way and then down Selief Lane to the staging area on Lot 2A. Lot 2A is a level, gravel pad area, that is more than large enough (11.92 acres) to accorrunodate the volume of soil that will be relocated. Upon relocation, the new soil stockpiles will be labeled, covered and secured. Petroleum contaminated soil will be transported in covered loads to the new contaminated soil stockpile area. Thorough efforts will be made to prevent the escapement of any liquid and / or contaminated soil during loading and hauling activities. All contaminated soil to be temporarily stockpiled will be placed upon a petroleum resistant liner having a minimum thickness of 20 mil. All temporary soil stockpiles will be constructed as to not retain water and be in accordance with ADEC's Long Term Contaminated Soil Stockpiling Requirements (18 AAC 78.370). 09-005cssplan 39 of 105 Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 7 In addition, no contaminated soil will be: • placed within 30 feet of the edge of a gravel pad or native vegetation, • placed within 100 feet of any surface water body, • used for berms or containment structures, or • used to cover / bury any items or debris. All stockpiled soil will have been initially field screened, segregated into lots and preliminarily classified. The soil lots can then be covered with a 10 mil, nylon reinforced, visquene top cover. The temporary contaminated soil stockpiles and the surrounding area will be maintained throughout the duration of this project. The soil staged in the new contaminated soil staging area shall be clearly identified and documented so contaminated soil can be tracked and monitored throughout this project. The field marking program shall be suitable to withstand the expected exposure elements. Quantities of material placed in the new contaminated soil staging area shall be estimated using truck counts. An effective anchoring system will be constructed using either clean material or timbers to secure the sides of both the top and bottom liners. The bottom liner will be folded over and then tucked beneath the containment structure. The top liner will then be draped across the containment structure and secured with either clean material or timbers outside of the containment cell. Sandbags, tires, or other suitable non -penetrating materials will be used at a rate of one item per each 200 square feet of surface area to secure the sides of the top cover from moving during strong winds, rain, etc. 7.0 REPORT SUBMITTAL 7.1 Field Summary Report TELLUS will provide all field and analytical laboratory results in ADEC Data Deliverable Package Format to KIB during this project. ADEC Analytical Data Review Checklists will be completed and submitted for each analytical work order performed by the contract laboratory. MB will then forward copies of all field and laboratory results to ADEC for subsequent review and filing. A Final Project Report will be submitted to KIB and ADEC at the completion of the environmental sampling portion of this project. The report will include a narrative (discussing volume, disposition, justification, location and subsequent placement of all project soils) figures with sampling locations, field data, analytical laboratory data and a site photos section. It is understood that at the completion of the project, KIB desires to have a clear classification for all petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soils relocated during this project. 09-OO5cssplan 40 of 105 0 .cn M. • Willimovitiftilimiif4.:"Aim"-triPP'STaC,714.*=.01.044111;"" - • 44.-7, ‘7.7. - • . • Existing Soil Storage CeIIs at Kodiak High School_ Existing Soil Storage Cells at Kodiak High School.

GOULD, seconded by MONROE moved to approve Contract No. 93-58 with Kodiak Home Repair of Kodiak, Alaska, in an amount not to exceed $56,000. Mayor Selby explained that the contract was for removal of non-metal debris. He stated that once the debris was removed, the intent was to cover the area with rock and gravel to create baseball fields and a recreation area. At questions raised by Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby explained that once the debris was removed, Department of Environmental Conservation representatives would make final determination that the area was sufficiently cleared of hazardous materials. VOTE ON MOTION TO APPROVE Ayes: Gould, Hancock, Milligan, Monroe, Austerman, McFarland Noes: Burt MOTION CARRIED 6 Ayes, 1 No CONTRACT NO. 93-58 I 64 of 105 rTh SCOPE OF WORK SMOICEYS METAL DUMP DEBRIS CLEANUP PROJECT A. RECITAL The Kodiak Island Borough is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Alaska. The Borough requires a debris cleanup of Smokey's Dump, a former landfill located within the Borough's jurisdiction. The Contractor will be the party selected by the Borough that has industry knowledge regarding the separation, processing, loading, and general construction skills of scrap steel recycling, debris removal and site grading. The following elements are to be incorporated into the Construction Contract entered with the Contractor. B. SCRAP METAIJDEBRIS CLEANUP The area of land which is known as Smokey's Metal Dump was originally leased by the Kodiak Island Borough to private parties in February, 1966. The site was predominantly used to dispose of municipal solid waste materials ( see Figure 1 for the location of the disposal site). Solid wastes were conventionally landfilled at the site for the next 10 years. Burning of garbage was also conducted from time to time during the period of active disposal. During the late 1970's increasing amounts of scrap iron were brought to the site. By 1981, the area was devoted to accepting scrap metal for disposal and/or salvage. Metals, including automobiles and other debris continued to accumulate at the site, creating large unorganized piles which were randomly distributed. Metals and debris became 'commingled; during the transition from mostly a refuse disposal operation in the early 1970's to metal disposal and salvaging of the early 1990's. This "zone of transition" between garbageand;ntetals disposal is the focus of this. cleanup project. Approximately 4,000 tons of mixed metals and automobiles have been removed from the site. Debris still remain on site and comprise of non-metal materials and nonsalvageable and salvageable ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The actual tonnage of eeoaomically salvageable metals is unknown. Non -salvageable metals include cable, tanks and, drums.. ,The characteristics of debris which are non-metal in nature include wood, plastic, paper and a considerable number of tires. Much of the material which remains at the°site is a mixture of these items which will not require sorting or removal from the site: The Kodiak Island Borough (Borough) wishes to contract a qualified contractor to sort Metals, ;clean debris and grade the area. This will be accomplished through a combination of segregating a limited amount of metals which exist on site, the removal and haulage of some debris to the Kodiak Island Borough landfill and the grading of the area utilizing existing soil, rock and debris. 65 of 105 SCOPE OF WORK SMOKEYS METAL DUMP DEBRIS CLEANUP PROJECT (continued) The Contractor agrees to furnish all equipment and perform all the work necessary to complete the following cleanup activities. The Contractor will provide a trained crew with a supervisor skilled in scrap handling, debris removal and land surface grading. The Contractor will separate recoverable metals from debris piles remaining at Smokeys into the following categories: aluminum; other non-ferrous metals if they exist in adequate quantities; ferrous metals; automobiles. The amount of metal salvaged and transported to the Kodiak Island Borough Landfill facility shall not exceed 1,000 tons. Other materials such as wood, soil and rock, paper products, cable and other miscellaneous rubbish and solid waste materials -shall not be separated. The Borough prefers to move a minimal amount of debris from site? Up to 4,000 cubic yards of debris may require. transport from the site to the the landfill. The Contractor will work ,cooperatively and closely with Borough staff to determine grade levels and the amount of debris and metals ultimately transported from the site. The Borough reserves the right to determine the final method of disposal of debris and/or metals. If substantial amounts of wood are encountered, these materials can be separated and burned on site provided such burning does not produce black smoke. The Contractor is not required to provide transportation for any scrap material from locations other than Smokeys Metal Dump. The Contractor will be responsible to keep track of the amount of material which it collects for transport to the Kodiak Island Borough Landfill facility. C. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Based on previous work which has been done on the site, no significant environmental hazards were or are they expected to be encountered on the site. The Borough acknowledges that General is not required to accept hazardous materials of any kind. 1. Definition. Hazardous materials are defined to include: (a) any "hazardous substance" as defined in CERCLA, $ 101(14) or any "hazardous waste" as defined in. RCRA and applicable regulations or any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, or (b) any form of radioactive waste material, contaminant or pollutant or any spent nuclear fuel as those terms are defined in any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations. 3. 66 of 105 a -53-s7 KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 710 NILI.

Initial debris removal includes tires and miscellaneous solid wastes along the margins of the site with a minimum amount being hauled to the landfill for disposal. In addition, small amounts of metal will be recycled. VILLAGE AND KODIAK METAL CLEANUP, PHASE 1 MB is working to provide an estimate of actual costs to remove metals island wide. 'CBI/DOT would assemble an agreement similar to the Phase I document. This funding covers junk vehicles not covered in the previous contract. ABANDONED VEHICLE RECYCLING PROGRAM Seven proposals were received by MB Engineering/Facilities to recycle scrap metal currently being staged at the KIB Landfill/Baler Facility. This contract requires the contractor to remove gasoline,oil, batteries and antifreeze from vehicles prior to shipment. MB will maintain responsibility for the disposal of potentially hazardous materials. The contractor will maintain responsibility for assembling and shipping loads free of hazardous waste material or other hazards. Based on KB's review of all proposals, recommended award of contract to Northern Exploration & Equipment Co. in the amount of $61.77 per ton of metal which is processed and shipped to a recycling facility off island. A contract has been written and is being reviewed by the attorney. The project start date has not been determined, but is anticipated to be sometime in April, 1994. KARLUK LANDFILL RELOCATE Ongoing. MB staff continues to address issues regarding construction design and funding surrounding solid waste collection and disposal at Karluk. KB staff has identified a site which would be suitable for the construction of a landfill The file "Karl& Landfill Project" has been prepared which contains information concerning the problem . 68a 105 RIB OIL TaNR RBPLACENENT A conceptual remediation plan is in progress and will be issued to ADEC for approval.

These items include: 1. Reducing the length of the cul-de-sac; and 2. Eliminating an interior lot line to aid in future construction. II. PARK As you know, it has been the goal of community to clean up this former dump site and make it into a usable area. Various conceptual park plans have been entertained. These concepts change daily as the area is surveyed and mapped. Also occurring is the formal process of closing this former dump. Presently, waste material (primarily composed of clay from the hospital construction project) is being spread on top of this former metals dump. This clay material meets DEC's minimum requirements for closing d►imps and landfills. To be closed out, dumps are required to be sealed with a tight -grained material that prevents rain and surface water from percolating down and through the debris that made up the landfill. III. RECOMMATIATION This plat provides more area for park construction by eliminating a portion of the 60 foot wide right-of-way. It also eliminates an interior lot that is no longer needed, creating one lot. It is recommended that this preliminary plat be approved.

Concrete, Steel) Soil Containment Structures 8 79 of 105 Purpose The Contaminated Sites Program (CSP) regulations require that the owner/operator of an offsite or portable treatment facility obtain approval of an operations plan before accepting or treating contaminated soil. The regulations are located at 18 AAC 75.365, and 18 AAC 78.273. 18 AAC 75.365 and 18 AAC 78.273 require the owner/operator of a soil treatment facility to provide complete containment of the contaminated soil before, during, and after treatment, until the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Proper containment structures for the storage and processing of contaminated soil and water is a crucial portion of any soil treatment facility. The costs associated with providing adequate containment structures at a treatment facility can be significant. The below criteria have been developed in order to provide direction to treatment facility owners/operators in the development of their operations plans and to assist CSP staff in their review of facility operations plans. The criteria are intended to develop and maintain statewide consistency in the regulation of soil treatment facilities by providing appropriate guidance for the containment of contaminated soil before, during, and after treatment. Background Information The department is receiving an increasing number of soil treatment facility operations plans for facilities operating in the less populated areas of the state. These areas typically do not have permanent soil remediation facilities such as those existing in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kodiak, or Juneau. Many of the facilities operating in less populated portions of the state consist of thermal treatment equipment, designed to be portable enough to be transported by road, barge, or plane to remote areas. They are designed to provide cost -competitive soil treatment options off the established road system, or along the road system in areas of the state where the cost of transporting soils to a permanent soil treatment facility may be cost prohibitive. The nature and scope of soil treatment facility operations plans are varied. Many facilities are designed specifically to remediate soil at the facility or project site where the contaminated soil has been generated (often involves the treatment of a pre-existing stockpile of contaminated soil). Facilities that are set up at the project site where the contaminated soil has been generated are termed `portable' treatment facilities under 18 AAC 75.365, 18 AAC 78.273, and in this. guidance document. Other operations plans are designed for facilities that will receive contaminated soil from one or more offsite sources, requiring that the contaminated soil be transported to, and managed by, the soil treatment facility. Facilities that are established at a location to receive soils from one (1) or more offsite locations are termed `offsite' facilities under 18 AAC 75.365, 18 AAC 78.273, and in this guidance document. Offsite operations plans cover the spectrum of operations from those intended to receive soils from a single project site/facility, to those intended to receive and treat soils from multiple project sites/facilities that may be within that area or region. The risk of secondary contamination at these offsite facilities varies due to the type of facility, existing site conditions and surrounding features andenvironment, and the intensity of use. I Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 80 of 105 Soil containment provisions for portable soil treatment facilities and three (3) categories of offsite soil treatment facilities have been developed, so that appropriate containment provisions can be implemented in response to the relative risk posed by these differing treatment facility operations. Soil Treatment Facility Definitions Category A) Portable Treatment Facility: Portable treatment facilities are commonly set up at the contaminated site where the soil was generated. Examples of Portable Treatment Facilities include, but are not limited to: thermal desorption rotary kiln units, enhanced -thermal desorption units, hot-air vapor extraction units, and soil washing units. A minimum of 10 -mil base liner is required beneath the soil containment, transportation, and treatment areas for operations of less than 180 days duration. A minimum of20-mil base liner is required in these areas for operations of greater than 180 days duration. Protection of the base liner should include preparation of a firm, smooth, and level base. If the native soil base contains sharp or large aggregate or debris, sand (of appropriate quality to be used as a bedding material) or protective felt fabric must be placed on the native soil prior to laying the base liner down. A sand layer or felt fabric should also be considered for placement on top of the base liner prior to placement of the contaminated soil, if the contaminated soil is frozen or contains large aggregate/debris that would likely damage the base liner. A sand layer of adequate thickness to protect the liner should be placed on top of the liner if equipment is to be repetitively operated in the contaminated soil storage cell. Post -treated soil stockpiles need to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Factors which influence the degree of containment required for post -treated soil stockpiles include the level of confidence that the remediation method will meet the cleanup levels, the time delay prior to receiving post-treatment analytical results, and the sensitivity of the surrounding land use and environment. Category B) Offsite Treatment Facility Receiving Sail from One Contaminated Site: This category of offsite treatment facility is designed to receive, manage, and remediate soil that has been transported from the site where the contaminated soil was generated to an offsite location for storage and treatment. Examples of Offsite Treatment Facilities include, but are not limited to: thermal desorption rotary kiln units, enhanced -thermal desorption units, hot-air vapor extraction units, and soil washing units. Category B facilities are restricted to treatment of soil from only one contaminated project site (Le., soil generated from a single contaminated site or by a single facility). A minimum of 10 -mil base liner is required beneath the soil containment, transportation, and treatment areas for operations of less than 180 days duration. A minimum of20-mil base liner is required in these areas for operations of greater than 180 days duration. Protection for the base liner in contaminated soil containment, transportation, and Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 81 of 105 treatment areas should include preparation of a firm, smooth, and level base. If the native soil base contains sharp or large aggregate or debris, a sand (of appropriate quality to be used as a bedding material) or protective felt fabric must be placed on the native soil prior to laying the base liner down, A sand layer or felt fabric should also be considered for placement on top of the base liner prior to placement of the contaminated soil, if the contaminated soil is frozen or contains large aggregate/debris that would likely damage the base liner. A sand layer of adequate thickness to protect the liner should be considered for placement on top of the liner if equipment is to be repetitively operated in the contaminated soil storage cell. Post -treated soil stockpiles need to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Factors which influence the degree of containment required for post -treated soil stockpiles include the level of confidence that the remediation method will meet the cleanup levels, the time delay prior to receiving post-treatment analytical results, and the sensitivity of the surrounding land use and environment. Category C) Offsite Treatment Facility Receiving Soil from Multiple Projects/Facilities: Up to three years of operations The minimum soil containment provision for Category C offsite treatment facilities shall consist of the engineered design, construction inspection, and record drawings of the lined contaminated soil storage, transportation, and treatment areas. It is recommended that the facility be designed such that the input or load hopper to the treatment equipment is contiguous to the soil containment cell, when practical. An Alaska registered engineer shall submit construction design drawings (plan and cross sectional), details, and specifications for the installation of the lined contaminated soil containment areas prior to construction or use of the facility. These engineering plans must be sealed and signed by a registered engineer. Within 45 days after the completion of construction of the facility, a registered engineer must also provide sealed and signed record drawings, verifying that all lined containment areas were installed in accordance with the DEC approved plan. This means that the engineer, or the engineer's assistant, must inspect and document the installation process. Examples of lined, engineered containment designs and specifications are available from DEC fromprior-approved soil treatment facility operations plans. Lined, engineered containment areas are limited to no more than three years of use (from the date that contaminated soil was first placed within the containment area), at which tithe the removal and closure assessment of that portion of the treatment facility is required. DEC approval of continued operations for a period of time that exceeds three years would require submittal of another engineered soil containment plan, construction of new soil containment structures, and construction inspection and record drawings by a registered engineer. Post -treated soil stockpiles at Category C facilities are to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 82 of 105 l cleanup levels. Structures for post -treated soil containment shall be included in the engineered plans. See Attachment A for additional engineering plan guidance for Category C facilities. Category D) Offsite Treatment Facility Receiving Soil from Multiple Projects/Facilities: More than three years of operations The minimum soil containment provision for Category D Offsite Treatment Facilities shall consist of the engineered design, construction inspection, and record drawings of concrete, steel, or other hard -surface, petroleum -resistant contaminated soil storage, transportation, and treatment areas. Soil containment areas for Category D facilities shall include a hard, petroleum -resistant surface that is resistant to structural damage by bulldozers, backhoe buckets, and front-end loader buckets. It is recommended that the facility be designed such that the input or load hopper to the treatment equipment is contiguous to the soil containment cell, when practical. An Alaska registered engineer shall submit construction design drawings (plan and cross sectional), details, and specifications for the installation of the hard surface contaminated soil containment areas, prior to construction or use of the facility. These engineering plans must be sealed and signed by a registered engineer. Within 45 days after the completion of construction of the facility, a registered engineer shall also provide sealed and signed record drawings, verifying that all hard surface containment areas were installed in accordance with the DEC approved plan. This means that the engineer, or the engineer's assistant, must inspect and document the installation process. Examples of hard -surface, engineered containment designs and specifications are available from DEC from prior -approved soil treatment facility operations plans. Post -treated soil stockpiles at Category D facilities are to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets theapplicable cleanup levels. Structures for post -treated soil containment shall be included in the engineered plans. See Attachment A for additional engineering plan guidance for Category D facilities. Discretionary Category Designation The above four (4) categories of soil treatment facilities are expected to address the majority of soil treatment facility operations within the state. Under certain circumstances, DEC staff may need to exercise discretionary authority in determining the most appropriate categorical requirementsto apply to a soil treatment facility, which could increase or decrease the level of soil containment criteria required. DEC project managers should coordinate any discretionary category designation with supervision and the program staff responsible for reviewing Category C/D facility operations plans in order to maintain statewide consistency. The two most likely examples of such circumstances are discussed below: Large quantity of soil from one project: Soils from a single project totaling more than approximately 4000 cubic yards (-6000 tons) are proposed for treatment either on or offsite: Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 4 83 of 105 Concern would normally be greater for offsite treatment. Under this circumstance, DEC may exercise discretion to increase the soil containment criteria from Category A or B, and reclassify the facility to the more protective Category C. Factors that DEC will examine and consider include, but are not limited to: a) the sensitivity of the environment and current environmental conditions at the proposed soil treatment site; b) soil contaminant concentrations; c) soil treatment processing rate and the total span of time projected to complete soil treatment; d) whether soil treatment will occur during winter or freeze -thaw weather conditions; e) whether contaminated soil stockpiles will have to over -winter during the soil treatment process; f) whether the soil storage cell will be repetitively loaded and unloaded during the soil processing operation, thereby threatening the integrity of the base liner, compared to the strictly one time unloading of contaminated soil from a soil storage cell to the treatment equipment; and g) other project -specific considerations that relate to the risk of secondary contamination of the soil treatment site. Minimal quantity of soil from multiple projects: Soils from more than one project (generating site), totaling less than approximately 500 cubic yards (-750 tons) are proposed for treatment at a single processing location. Under this circumstance, DEC may exercise discretion to relax the soil containment criteria from Category C and reclassify the facility down to Category B. Factors that DEC will examine and consider include, but are not limited to: a) the remoteness of the soil treatment project from existing Category C or D soil treatment facilities; b) all of the factors identified in the preceding example —'Large quantity of soil from one project.' The Operations Plan Review Process: Projected Processing Times Category A and B soil treatment facilities requesting department approval of an operations plan should allow for a minimum 30 (Category A) or 45 (Category B) -day review and processing period from the date of submittal of the operations plan. A public participation process may be required for facilities in these categories, involving a three-day publication of a Soil Treatment Facility Operations Plan Notice in local newspaper(s) and a two-week public comment period following the last date of publication. The department must approve the wording of the public notice prior to publication. Comments in response to the notice will be directed to the department. Category C and D soil treatment facilities requesting department approval of an operations plan should allow for a minimum 60 -day review and processing period from the date of submittal of the operations plan. A public participation process is required for these facilities, involving a Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 5 �l 84 of 105 three-day publication of a Soil Treatment Facility Operations Plan Notice in local newspaper(s) and a two-week public comment period following the last date of publication. The department must approve the wording of the public notice prior to publication. Comments in response to the notice shall be directed to the department. It would not be uncommon for the operations plan review and public notification process for category C and D facilities to run longer than 60 days. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 6 05 of 105 ATTACHMENT A Engineering Design Criteria for Soil Containment Structures Using Svnthetic Liners. (Maximum Approved Life of Three (3) Years) Base liners must be a minimum of 20 mil nominal thickness and comply with the Long Term Liner Specifications in 18 AAC 78.274(a), Table B. Liners should be factory seam sealed by the manufacturer whenever possible. Field seeming of liners is only allowed when conducted in accordance with the liner manufacturer's recommended procedures, to include any certification, training, and experience requirements placed on field seaming workers. Field seaming methods must be clearly specified in the engineering plans for DEC review. Base soil specification for soils beneath and in contact with the liner are 100% passing the %" US sieve, without sharp fracture surfaces on the aggregate. A minimum of three (3) inches of soil meeting this specification is required immediately beneath the base liner at all locations. If the base specification soil is not available or not used, an appropriate thickness protective felt fabric may be employed to offset the use of out -of -specification material to some extent, depending on the quality of the specific bedding materials proposed for use. The design engineer will need to research and support the use of the appropriate felt fabric in conjunction with any out -of -specification base soil. Base soils must be smooth with no sharp or irregular projections and sufficiently compacted to prevent settlement under the soil and vehicle loading that will occur over the linered containment area. The base soils should, at the minimum, be proof -rolled under the observation of the engineer. The engineer is required to inspect and approve the prepared soil base prior to placement of the synthetic liner (or protective felt fabric if used). Cover soil specification for soils above and in contact with the base liner are 100% passing the 3/8" US standard sieve, sandy, free -draining soil. A minimum of 18" of cover soil must be maintained above the base liner at all times, prior to heavy equipment and vehicle travel over the base liner. This will require special soil cover placement techniques, which must be described and specified within the engineering plans. The 18" minimum applies to entry and exit ramp areas also. If the cover specification soil is not available or not used, protective felt fabrics maybe employed to allow the use of some out -of -specification cover soil. In this situation, the design engineer will need to research and support the use of an appropriate felt fabric for use with out -of -spec cover soil. The engineer is required to be present during the cover soil placement process in order to certify that proper soil placement techniques have been employed. Whenever protective felt fabrics are used, a minimum 12" overlap is required at all felt join The perimeter of the liner shall be bermed a minimum of 6" above the surrounding soil surface to prevent surface water intrusion of the containment cell. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 7 d3 06 or 1a5 ,r. A minimum of 18" of cover soil must be maintained over the synthetic liner at all times throughout the life of the soil containment cell. The design should include provisions that will help to ensure that the owner/operator will maintain the minimum of 18" of cover soil during operations. An Alaska registered engineer or registered land surveyor shall provide survey control and documentation during the construction process, and provide certified contour drawings of the facility and soil containment cells and structures. These survey drawings must include a permanent benchmark for purposes of future reference. Soil containment cells must be designed and contoured such that nondomestic wastewater collecting within the cell(s) can drain to a monitoring and de -watering sump. This sump, in combination with the free -draining cover soil within the cell, will provide a means for both monitoring the accumulation of wastewater and evacuating excess wastewater to prevent cell flooding. The free -draining soil must remain structurally stable and support vehicle loading when saturated. A provision for the handling, storage, processing, and ultimate disposal ofnondomestic wastewater must be provided in the plans. The plans must include a provision for the operation and maintenance of the monitoring and de -watering sump. The requirement for engineered record drawings means that the engineer must provide adequate construction inspection and oversight, so as to be able to certify that the structures were constructed as intended and in compliance with DEC approved plans. The general format for the engineering plans should follow the engineering plan requirements found in 18 AAC 72.600(c) (Nondomestic Wastewater System Plan Review, Application for Department Approval). Engineering Design Criteria for Hard -Surface (i.e. Concrete. Steel) Soil Containment Structures. Hard -surface soil containment cells require the following: Engineering plans, details, drawings, and specifications must be signed and sealed by a registered engineer demonstrating proper base soil materials selection, placement, and preparation in order to support the multi -season and long-term use of the concrete or other hard -surface, petroleum resistant containment cells. An Alaska registered engineer or registered land surveyor must provide survey control and documentation during the construction process and provide certified contour drawings of the facility and soil containment cells and structures. These survey drawings must include a permanent benchmark for purposes of future reference. Engineering design plans and specifications for the concrete slabs or other hard, petroleum resistant surface identifying the loading design parameters, must be signed and sealed by a registered engineer. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 8 ay 87 o(105 A roof covering the soil containment cells is preferred. For plans lacking a roof, contours and provisions must be included to control, contain, handle, process, and dispose of nondomestic wastewater that accumulates within the soil containment cells. The engineering plans must include a Tong -term inspection and maintenance program to ensure the structural and watertight integrity of the concrete pad or other hard, petroleum resistant surface. The requirement for engineered record drawings means that the engineer must provide adequate construction inspection and oversight, so as to be able to certify that the structures were constructed as intended, and in compliance with the DEC approved plans. The general format for the engineering plans should follow the engineering plan requirements found in 18 AAC 72.600(c) (Nondomestic Wastewater System Plan Review, Application for Department ApprovaI).

The Community Development Department is holding the KIB EF Department to the same standard as any other property owner applicant. Required fees have been paid from project funds and the following information is intended to support the applicant's (KIB EF) efforts to persuade the Commission to grant the request for Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit as in the best interest of the public.

This material must be removed from the high school campus. We are presently in the planning stages of the largest construction project in KIB history. The project site will be most difficult to build on with the soil removed, and impossible with the material in place. The DEC approved plan provided for temporary (six months) storage on the high school campus until a planned soil remediation facility was operational. That facility never materialized. KIB Engineering/Facilities Department (EF) hired a consultant to provide a practical alternative to shipping off -island. Several Borough owned properties were considered before selecting the proposed property. The consultant drafted a remediation plan and received DEC approval for the process and the site.

P&Z Case 10-016 Page 5 94 of 105 LOOKING SOUTHWEST OVER THE PROPOSED SITE SHOWING THE INDUSTRIAL ZONED LOTS TO THE LEFT AND PART OF THE GREENBELT TO THE RIGHT. EF learned that in order to stockpile soil in a Public Use Lands Zone we must acquire a Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit. EF applied for the permit and the determination with the Community Development Department (CDD). EF agrees that a use that is permitted and similar in character and impact in the zone would be governmental maintenance and service storage yards. Typical activities in such facilities include heavy equipment storage, servicing, and refueling; and storage of maintenance materials i.e. sand, gravel, salt, large rock, and soils.

However, both the impacts and potential hazards present in these maintenance yards is greater than those the project activities will create. The probability of petroleum spills is far greater when transferring flowing products between tanks and vehicles than it is when storing contaminated soils totally encapsulated in liners designed specifically for this purpose. No refueling, servicing, or storing of equipment will take place on the property. Not to mention the frequency and volume of equipment traffic. Equipment will only be on site for periodic aeration of the soils. The passive remediation process is quite innocuous to its surroundings. However, it does take time. EF fully expects to complete the process within two summer seasons. EF suggested a two year limit on the Conditional Use Permit, but CDD recommended four years with P&Z Case 10-016 Page 15 104 of 105 no valid basis for the additional two years. EF would agree to a two year term on the permit with the understanding that there is a slight chance of requesting a one year extension should the process work slower than expected. However, the question before you tonight is not to pass judgment on the remediation process, but rather the question before you is to determine if storage of diesel contaminated soils encased in an impermeable cocoon is similar in character and impact with the activities of the maintenance/ service and storage yards identified above; and by granting this use will the project maximize benefits to the public; and will it not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience, and comfort; and will the project not harm the value, spirit, character, and integrity of the surrounding area.

Dvorak stated 45 public hearing notices were sent. One response was received in favor, six responses received opposed, and a petition with twenty five signatures also opposed. Staff recommends that proposed storage and occasional aeration of contaminated soil is similar in both character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard which is a conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land Zone, subject to certain conditions of approval to limit the use. 3/17/2010 P&Z Minutes Page 3 of 6 In response to COMMISSIONER KERSCH'S inquiry of if we allow them use that site for one year and then we decide we don't renew it where will the school put the contaminated soil at that point, Dvorak said they asked for 2 years and staff recommended 4 years, maybe they might come back to you for an extension, and the lead time to request the extension is within their initial 2 years. In response to COMMISSIONER KERSCH'S inquiry if someone has looked at the Municipal Airport property, Dvorak stated he would have to ask the petitioner. COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED to grant a similar use determination, per KIBC 17.15.090, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soils as a use similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use per KIBC 17.130.030, and to approve the findings in the staff report dated February 25, 2010 as "Findings of Fact" for this case. The public hearing was opened & closed: Opposing testimony was given by Jim Ashford, Deb McCusker, Chris Wing, and Pat Holmes. Favorable testimony was given by Woody Koning, borough applicant. Ashford called for a point of order stating Koning went beyond his 3 minutes. Smith stated she forgot to start the timer. In response to COMMISSIONER WATKINS'S inquiry of screening solids over 2", will that take place at the high school site prior to moving it, Koning stated he thinks it will take place at this site but he's not sure but wherever it takes place there will be a liner underneath it so no material will escape into the environment. DEC will have to approve any process we go through in order to (inaudible). In response to VICE CHAIR TORRES' S inquiry on the DEC approval, is that a written approval or a certified inspector that would be on site, Koning stated the consultant is responsible to DEC to inspect and sample the soil, take photos of the actual cell, and the construction of the cell. The consultant is certified to do this type of business with DEC. Commission discussion. In response to VICE CHAIR TORRES's inquiry of a best guess of the physical size of these cornrows, Koning stated it's all really conjecture after it's been sitting there for 3 years covered similarly to the plan for remediation, it's all conjecture of what the actual contamination levels are in that soil. In response to COMMISSIONER JANZ'S inquiry of have you looked at the landfill, Koning stated we looked around for borough property but without clearing and the cost this was the most practical piece of borough property that we could find. In response to VICE CHAIR TORRES' inquiry if Koning would like it postponed or a decision tonight, Koning stated he would like a decision tonight. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION FAILED 2-2.

This contaminated soil was excavated and stored as an unanticipated result of an underground fuel storage tank replacement project completed in 2007. Once the soils have been relocated, the soils will be uncovered and tamed over to aerate the soil periodically as a form of passive remediation. This remediation method relies on natural Case 10-016/Staff Report Page 6 of 13 P & Z: March 17, 2010 Public Hearing Item VI -D bacteria to breakdown the hydrocarbon contaminants and the bacteria require periodic aeration in order to function at optimal efficiency. The total time projected for storage and remediation is expected to take at Least two seasons with periodic testing conducted to help determine the effectiveness of the remediation process. Once the soil is considered clean by ADEC standards it will be disposed of either on site or at another location to be determined. Currently there are five (5) contaminated soil stockpiles staged at the high school site, each contained within an individually lined cell. Although contaminated soil stockpiles are not typically permitted in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district, these byproducts of the underground storage tank replacement may be considered to be subsidiary and incidental to the operation of the site just as we would distinguish the large underground storage tank itself from being consider bulk fuel storage as a principal use. Once the material is severed from the site of origination however, it must be addressed under the zoning on the merits of the perceived consistency between the use proposed and the uses allowed in the particular zoning district. In this case, the IUBEFD proposes to relocate and reorganize the contaminated material on Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2nd Addition. In the process of relocating the contaminated soils, the soils will be field screened and tested by an analytical sampling methodology in order to allow the more contaminated soils to be grouped together and the Tess contaminated soils to be grouped together. According to the Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan, submitted by TELLUS, Ltd., and dated June 2009, all contaminated soil removed from the Kodiak High School stockpiles will be segregated, transported to and staged at the new (proposed) contaminated soil staging area located at Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision (2nd Addition). Upon relocation, the stockpiles will be labeled, covered and secured. After the soil is relocated and the associated analytical results are obtained, efforts will be directed towards reviewing existing soil disposal or treatment options. The contractor indicates that thorough efforts will be made to prevent the escapement of any liquid and/or contaminated soil during the loading and hauling activities involved in relocating the materials. All contaminated soil to be temporarily stockpiled will be placed upon a petroleum resistant liner having a minimum thickness of 20 mil. In addition, all temporary soil stockpiles will be constructed in a way that will not retain water and be in accordance with ADEC's Long -Term Contaminated Soil Stockpiling Requirements as set forth in 18 AAC 78370). Additional conditions set forth in the proposal are as follows. No contaminated soil will be: Placed within 30 feet of the edge of a gravel pad or native vegetation, Placed within 100 feet of any surface water body, Used for berms or containment structures, or Used to cover/bury any items or debris. All stockpiled soil will have been initially field screened, segregated into lots and preliminarily classified. The soil lots can then be covered with 10 mil, nylon reinforced, plastic top cover. The temporary contaminated soil stockpiles and the surrounding area will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. Case 10-016/Staff Report Page 7 of 13 P & Z: March 17, 2010 Public Hearing Item VI -D Similar Use Determination This case is being presented in two phases based on the nature of the proposed use and the zoning district involved. Similar use determinations are permitted at the Commission's discretion under KIBC 17.15.090. The petitioner, MB Engineering & Facilities (KIBEFD), has requested a similar use determination to determine that the storage and passive remediation of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil presently stored at the Kodiak High School is similar in character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard which is a conditionally permitted use in the PL -Public Use Zone. As staff has done in previous cases, both the similar use determination and the conditional use permit are being presented in one staff report. However, the Commission should keep in mind that these are two separate decisions, even though it is only one land use request, and that each decision has its own code criteria for review. Staff is presenting the similar use determination first because if, after review, the Commission finds that the proposed use is not similar in character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard, then the conditional use permit is largely a moot point. The basic outline of the applicant's request is presented in the preceding section and staff did discuss this request with KIBEFD staff prior to application submittal. Due to the fact that the proposed soil remediation use does not involve thermal desorption (i.e. heating/buming) methods as part of the remediation process, staff believes this request is an equivalent use similar to a government maintenance facility. As indicated in the petitioner's submittal, the contaminated soil will be stored on Lot 2A temporarily, in accordance with ADEC requirements, and in cells very similar to the ones currently located on the high school site. The material will be segregated into two categories, minimally contaminated and substantially contaminated. Although the submittal focuses mainly on the stockpiling and testing plan, verbal communication with KIBEFD staff indicates that the chosen remediation method is a passive one that relies on natural bacteria to break down the hydrocarbon contamination. The process is expected to take at least two seasons and will require occasional uncovering of the material to aerate the soils. In the process of analyzing the similar use, staff has relied upon the definitions contained in the "The Latest Illustrated Book of Development Definitions". The similar use determination is based upon two principal criteria, is the proposed use similar character to a permitted or conditional in the zoning district, and is the use similar in impact. As referenced on page 73 of the "development dictionary", character is largely based on the visual and aesthetic nature of the uses being compared. Page 201 of the "development dictionary discusses impact analysis which focuses on the direct and indirect effects of a proposed development on utilities, storm water, traffic circulation and other factors. Although not a named criterion in the similar use procedure, staff believes that these two criteria, taken together, speak to the compatibility of the land use in surrounding land use context (page 86). On the other pages of the "development dictionary" staff has provided a number of definitions to describe what activities may be represented by a "government maintenance and service facility and storage yard". These definitions include, but may not be limited to, automobile repair, Case 10-016/Staff Report Page 8 of 13 P & Z: March 17, 2010 Public Hearing Bern VI -D automobile service garage, automotive repair services and garages, garage municipal, garage public, garage repair. Staff has also included a definition of government agency (page 175) given that the intent of the PL -Public Use Land zone is heavily based on a premise of government ownership and use. Without getting into a detailed analysis of the preceding definitions, staff will instead provide a couple of' examples that are believed to be representative of maintenance and service faculties and storage yards. Lot 28 and 29B, U.S. Survey 3098 is the City of Kodiak Public Works garage and storage yard. Tract C -1A is the Brechan Enterprises maintenance and storage yard. Lot 23, U.S. Survey 3098 is the Redhook Construction maintenance garage and storage site. Although these examples include both government and private sector maintenance and storage facilities, staff believes that these sites are directly comparable to the conditional use of "government maintenance and service facility and storage yard" that is set forth in the PL -Public Use Land zone. On these sites are stored heavy equipment and other related materials. In many cases equipment is field serviced outside with lube trucks, occasional fuel transfers and the sites may be generally used for storage of all manner of equipment and material when not in use on construction projects or road maintenance activities. Interestingly, staff notes that there is evidence of equipment storage and maintenance on the lots across the street from the proposed site (Tract A and Lot 7, Industrial Park Subdivision). While the above referenced sites are all located in the business zones, it is the use and activities that staff believes to be directly comparable to the similar use request in this case. Each of the preceding examples implies some incidental risk of site contamination with fuel or lube oils, however this is regulated by ADEC and these users will typically have absorbents and other clean-up materials available to address such incidental contamination. The proposed use is largely one of contaminated soil storage (subject to ADEC regulation and monitoring) with occasional aeration of the stored soils. Given the passive nature of the use, the location and size of the site, and the level of risk involved with handling the material, staff believes this use is similar to the government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use identified in the PL -Public Use Land zoning district. That said, staff believes that it may be prudent to place certain conditions on the proposed use to further define the limits of the use and to ensure the use does not result in a negative impact to the surrounding area. In order to provide limits on this use and to give meaning to the word "temporary" as used in the application materials, staff recommends that a 3 or 4 year limit be placed on the use. This will help to ensure that the project will be completed and demobilized within a reasonable time frame or, if not, a further showing of need be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission to justify an extension of the conditional use permit. Conditions of approval will be addressed in the conditional use portion of this staff report. The application references that the new storage cells will be "secured" at the new site. Staff would suggest it be made clear that this will include temporary fencing similar to what is already in place the a the high school Location. There is evidence of off-road vehicle activity at this site and it would not prudent to allow casual access to these storage cells that might increase the potential for cell damage or leakage. Case 10-016/Staff Report Page 9 of 13 P & Z: March 17, 2010 Public Hearing Item VI -D RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that proposed storage and occasional aeration of contaminated soil is similar in both character and impact to a government maintenance and service facility and storage yard conditional use in the PL -Public Use Land, subject to certain conditions of approval to limit the use. APPROPRIATE MOTIONS One appropriate motion is: Move to grant a similar use determination, per KIBC 17.15.090, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of hearing oil (diesel) contaminated soils as a use similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard use per KIBC 17.130.030, and to approve the findings in the staff report dated February 25, 2010 as "Findings of Fact" for this case. Findings of Fact Findings of fact in support of this decision are as follows: 1. This similar use determination is based upon the information submitted by the applicant, the Kodiak Island Borough Engineering and Facilities Department (KIBEFD), and review of the applicable zoning requirements and land use characteristics. 2. The proposed soil storage and passive remediation is determined to be similar in character and impact to a conditionally permitted government maintenance and service facility and storage yard on the basis of land use and zoning criteria. 3. Concerns about site layout or compatibility with surrounding uses will be addressed by the Commission in the context of the conditional use portion of this case, regarding the need for stipulations or conditions of approval to ensure that the use is compatible with the PL -Public Use Land zone or other uses in the surrounding area. Case 10-016/Staff Report Page 10 of 13 P & Z: March 17, 2010 Conditional Use Permit RECOMMENDATION Public Hearing Item VI -D Staff recommends that the Commission approve a conditional use permit for Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2"d Addition, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil, subject to conditions of approval. APPROPRIATE MOTION Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to grant a conditional use permit (CUP), according to KIBC 17.130.030 and KIBC 17.200, to allow the storage and passive remediation of about 1,600 cubic yards of heating oil (diesel) contaminated soil on Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2°d Addition, subject to conditions of approval, and to adopt the "Findings of Fact" in the staff report dated February 25, 2010, as findings of fact for this case. Condition of Approval 1. The conditional use permit (CUP) is based upon and limited to the representations Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan for Kodiak High School Soil Remediation Project, dated June 2009. 2. The maximum duration of the "temporary" storage and passive remediation is limited to four years from the date of the CUP approval. 3. The soil storage cells will be secured with a temporary chain link fence, similar to that erected at the high school storage location, in order to protect the storage cells from casual access by the public. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integrity of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixed use area of industrial, commercial, recreational and residential uses. Based on the nature of the proposed use as discussed in the similar use determination the use, subject to conditions of approval, is compatible with the uses of the surrounding area. The site is substantially from the RRl zoned area by substantial topography and at least 100 feet of greenbelt buffer and road right-of-way located at the edge of Lot 2A. The use is considered similar in character and impact to that of several maintenance and storage sites located along Mill Bay Road and perhaps of the equipment storage and activities occurring across the street from the proposed storage site. Case 10-016/Staff Report Page 11 of 13 P & Z: March 17, 2010 Public Hearing Item VI -D The conditional use is limited to contaminated soil storage and passive soil remediation as described in the proposal. Any other use or form of soil remediation would require a new similar use and conditional use permit review for this site. 2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. The building design and site plan materials submitted for review with this conditional use permit (CUP) meet or exceed all requirements of the PL -Public Use Land zoning district and the CUP standards. 3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort The proposed use will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience or comfort. The contaminated soils have been stored in a very public location near the high school and borough buildings. The soil storage, remediation and handling activities will all be undertaken in accordance with the applicable ADEC regulations and overseen by a qualified contractor working directly with KIBEFD. Additional conditions are being required to ensure the use is of a limited duration and that the site is not available for casual access by unauthorized persons. 4. The sufficient setbacks, lot area buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. The PL -Public Use Land Zone has substantial setbacks and minimum lot dimensions that that are met and exceeded on the proposed site plan. The site is largely bounded by industrial and commercial lands. There is substantial topography, fencing, vegetation and physical separation between the proposed storage site and nearby RR1 zoned residential areas along Dark Lake Road. Because of the evidence of public access to the site, additional conditions or safeguards will be applied to the proposed use to ensure that the use does not create a negative impact to the surrounding area. 5. The proposed use or structure is located in a manner which will maximize public benefits. The KIBEFD has maintained the storage of the contaminated soils on the high school location where they originated for nearly three years. The location and manner of storage at this location does not permit adequate room for even passive soil remediation and due to the amount of public access it is not considered practical or advisable to remediate the soils at this location. The site at Lot 2A is a level and well drained area that permits a great deal of area to work in. The land is owned by the borough and the storage of the contaminated soils can be undertaken without interference of other uses taking place in the area.

CHANNEL CHANNELIZATION had been conducted previously, e.g., food had been served previously and continued to be; there had been music in the restaurant and continued to be; there was serving of alcoholic beverages previously and con- tinued to be. The Supreme Court held that this quan- titative analysis was improper and that the focus in cases of this type must be on the quality, character and intensity of the use viewed in their totality and with regard to the overall effect on the neighborhood and zoning plan (83 N.J. 309 at 314). As a restaurant it had been open every day but now was open only one day and three evenings; the primary use of the dance hall had been incidental to dining but was now a primary use; the music was formerly provided by live bands and was now recorded; admission charges were now made whereas there had been none; the bulk of the prior business was food catering, which now was discontinued. The Court concluded that there had indeed been a change of use and that the defendant was properly convicted.... The Supreme Court [also] noted that "an increase in the time period during which a conforming use is operated may justifiably be the basis for finding an unlawful extension thereof, just as changes in the functional uses of the land or increases in the area of use have been."

(1) The straightening and deepening of channels and/ or the surfacing thereof to permit water to move rap- idly and/or directly; (2) a traffic control device that forces vehicles into certain traffic flows or turning movements. CHARACTER Special physical characteristics of a structure or area that set it apart from its surroundings and contribute to its interest and/or individuality. Comment: Examples of an area's character might in- clude: a pattern of residential gridiron, tree -lined streets with alleys for garage access and trash removal; a busi- ness district with uniformity in building scale, materi- als, setbacks, street furniture, and sign design; or a wa- terfront promenade with fountains, public art, and de- sign -coordinated street furniture of benches, light stan- dards, and trash receptacles. 73 Comment: Auto malls are very large establishments, often consisting of several dealerships. They are the result of the increasing cost of retail auto sales and cost efficiencies from combining services facilities. Because of their size, they are usually located on the outside of the central business district and developed commer- cial areas. They require large tracts of land, often in excess of 30 or more acres with good access. Planning considerations include controls on lighting and signage and requirements for screening and landscaping. A major problem is that because of their large size and combined repair facilities, auto malls may generate sig- nificant environmental problems, including pollution and runoff.

The use of land and buildings for the display and sale of primarily used motor vehicles and may include re- pair and service facilities as well as financing and leas- ing services. Comment: The sale of used motor vehicles is cus- tomarily an accessory use to new car dealerships. Used - car superstores are a recent phenomenon, akin to the big box retailers. They usually provide one-stop shop- ping in the sale of used vehicles and include servicing, financing, and similar services. They occupy large land areas, usually on the outskirts of built-up areas. Good access and visibility are critical. As with auto malls, 38 planning considerations include site design, land- scaping, lighting, signage, and pollution. ("Acres of Automobiles," Zoning News, June 1997) AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION Any building, land area, or other premises, or portion thereof, used for the retail dispensing or sales of vehicu- lar fuels; servicing and repair of automobiles; and includ- ing as an accessory use the sale and installation of lubri- cants, tires, battenes, and similar vehicle accessories. Comment: The name "automobile service station" is probably a misnomer as more and more stations con- vert to fuel sales only and no longer undertake vehicle repairs. In addition, many gas -only stations are selling snack food, tobacco, drinks, newspapers, and similar convenience goods as accessory or appurtenant to the principal use. Some additional parking may be needed for shoppers other than those getting gas. At some point, the accessory use may become the principal use. Other zoning considerations include multiple use of the site, parking and circulation, signs, and landscap- ing. See MINIMART.

AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SERVICES AND GARAGES Establishments primarily engaged in furnishing auto- motive repair. rental, leasing, and parking services to the general public. Comment: This general category includes all major components of the automotive industry (except the dis- pensing of gas and oil directly into the vehicles), in- cluding parking lots and structures, all types of repairs, car washes, and rental and leasing activities. AUXILIARY LANE AVAILABLE SITE AVERAGE ANNUAL DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT) A part of the roadway striped for use but not for through traffic. A site with clear title, free of encumbrances that pre- clude development for low- and moderate -income hous- ing. (New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing 1993) The total yearly traffic volume in both directions of travel divided by 365. Comment: Generally replaced by Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts. See AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (ADT). 39 More important, however, new houses or expan- sions of existing houses should take place on the lot only in such a manner that the character of the existing streetscape is not seriously affected. This requires that the existing front yard and side yard setbacks remain the same, or in the case of the side yards, any encroach- ment take place toward the rear of the lot. Building heights can be increased, but that part of the roof that is raised should be set back farther from the front build- ing line. One additional point worth noting is that most houses are not built to existing setback requirements, except on very small lots. In other words, on moder- ately sized and larger lots, with the exception of the front building line, many houses can be expanded to the rear and sides and still conform to existing codes. But this type of expansion or new house will be signifi- cantly different from the existing neighborhood char- acter. A detailed survey of the existing development characteristics is needed to establish a realistic and ef- fective set of controls. This type of survey can best be done by the use of aerial photography. See COMMU- NITY DESIGN PLAN; DESIGN FIT. COMPATIBLE LAND USE A use of land and/or building(s) that, in terms of devel- opment intensity, building coverage, design, bulk and occupancy, traffic generation, parking requirements, access and circulation, site improvements, and public facilities and service demands, is consistent with and similar to neighboring uses and does not adversely af- fect the quality of life of persons in surrounding or nearby buildings. See QUALITY OF LIFE; COMPATIBLE DESIGN. Comment: The definition spells out the specific criteria that should he examined but also includes a determi- nation as to whether the use adversely affects the qual- ity of life of the neighborhood residents. Compatible land uses may include different land uses that are mu- tually supportive and necessary, providing goods and services. economic opportunities, and a healthy and safe environment. COMPLETE APPLICATION An application for development completed as specified by ordinance and the rules and regulations of the ap- proving authority and the provisions of all required documents. Comment: Most states require that a determination of completeness be made within a specific period of time and on the meeting of all requirements specified in the 86 GAME OR GAMBLING GAME GAMING OR GAMBLING GAMING OR GAMBLING ESTABLISHMENT GAMING DEVICE OR GAMING EQUIPMENT GAP ANALYSIS Any banking or percentage game played for money, property, or any representative of value with cards, dice, or any device or machine and located exclusively within a facility licensed for such activity. The dealing, operating, carrying on, conducting, main- taining, or exposing for pay of any game. Any premises wherein or whereon gaming is done. See CASINO. Any device, contrivance, or machine used in connec- tion with gaming or any game. The study of available time between vehicles in a stream of traffic to determine the potential capacity of traffic turning to or from a roadway or crossing. GARAGE GARAGE, MUNICIPAL GARAGE, PRIVATE CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE A deck, building, or parking structure, or part thereof, used or intended to be used for the parking and storage of vehicles. Comment: A distinction should be made between park- ing, short- and long-term, and storage, such as that as- sociated with auto sales and unregistered vehicles. A structure owned or operated by a municipality and used primarily for the parking and storage of vehicles owned by the general public. A structure that is accessory to a nonretail, commer- cial, or manufacturing establishment, building, or use and is primarily for the parking and storage of vehicles operated by the customers, visitors, and employees of such building and that is not available to the general public. GARAGE, PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL A structure that is accessory to a single- or two-family dwelling, is used for the parking and storage of vehicles owned and operated by the residents thereof, and is not a separate commercial enterprise available to the general public. Comment: The combination of narrow lots and two -car attached garages can result in visually unattractive "snout houses" or "garage door" streetscapes. Solutions include using detached garages set back from the house with street access or fronting on an alley. In both cases, a covered walkway to the house can be provided. Side - entry garages are another possibility but usually require 170 f 1 s s e r e s e •e at least a 115 -foot lot width. Another solution is shar- ing the driveway access and necessary turning courts with the adjacent lot. In this last example, three -bay side -entry garages can be accommodated with no det- riment to the streetscape. See SNOUT HOUSE. GARAGE, PUBLIC GARAGE, REPAIR A structure or portion thereof, other than a private customer and employee garage or private residential garage, used primarily for the parking and storage of vehicles and available to the general public. Any building, premises, and land in which or upon which a business, service, or industry involving the maintenance, servicing, repair, or painting of vehicles is conducted or rendered.

Par 3 golf courses have a par on each hole of 3 and an average of 2,000 to 2,500 yards. Typical ancillary facilities include a practice range, a clubhouse with dining facilities, and a pro shop. Other recre- ation activities may occur on portions of the property not developed for golf. The minimum acreage for each type of course is: Regulation: Executive: Par 3: 150 acres 40-75 acres 30 acres A total land area of 250 acres or more is preferred to accommodate 27 holes at each course. Potential for possible future expansion should be considered. The site should have topography, soils, and a configuration that will efficiently support golf course development. The site should be capable of withstanding intensive public use and should include ad- equate parking facilities to accommodate employees and guests. The course should be capable of being developed and operated in a fashion compatible with any significant envi- ronmental features. Land uses within or adjacent to the site should not unduly constrain the site or golf course opera- tion. An adequate water supply for irrigation is required.

IMPACT ANALYSIS A study to determine the potential direct or indirect ef- fects of a proposed development on activities, utilities, stormwater runoff, circulation, surrounding land uses, community facilities, environment, and other factors. Comment: The impact analysis also can include fiscal, aesthetic, social, and legal impacts. The impact analy- sis serves a variety of functions. It should point out what impact the proposed development will have on the factors considered and what steps are needed to mitigate the impact. This is particularly true for envi- ronmental considerations, stormwater management, and utility needs. For projects that require variances, the impact analysis can be used to determine whether substantial detriment would result—an important cri- terion in the granting of a variance. Finally, impact analysis allows the municipality to plan. If, for example, a development of houses is expected to generate a given number of school-age children, an impact analysis can alert the local board of education to the need to ac- commodate the additional load. IMPACT FEE A fee imposed on a development to help finance the cost of improvements or services. Comment: Developers have long been required to pay for the cost of improvements necessitated by a develop- ment. These improvements include on- and off-site roads, utilities, and stormwater management facilities. Devel- opers have also been required to pay for their fair share of off -tract facilities that are needed as a result of their development. Through this method, off -tract intersec- tions may be improved, water and sewer mains enlarged, and additional off -tract drainage basins constructed. Impact fees are an extension of the philosophy that developments should pay their own way. Thus, where permitted by state legislation and local ordinance, an impact fee may be imposed on development for roads, schools, parks, fire stations, libraries, and other such public facilities. Where impact fees are permitted, they must be specific, based on a reasonable formula, and uniformly applied. IMPERMEABLE Not permitting the passage of water.

(TELLUS) on behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough Engineering & Facilities Department (KIB) for the Kodiak High School (KHS) Soil Remediation Project located in Kodiak, Alaska. This plan has been developed based on the criteria set forth in State of Alaska Statutes 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78. These regulations serve as the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's (ADEC) environmental compliance guidelines for this project. During this project, previously excavated and stockpiled contaminated soil will be field screened, reloaded into trucks and transported to a new contaminated soil staging area. Field screen testing and subsequent analytical sampling will be performed by TELLUS using appropriate equipment and approved methods to identify, quantify and classify all of the petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil located at KHS. The objective of this project is to collect data and characterize the existing contaminated soil stockpiled at KHS during the proposed soil relocation efforts. After the soil is relocated and the associated analytical results are obtained, efforts can be directed to reviewing existing soil disposal or treatment options. This document is comprised of Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) sections. Subcontractor qualifications are also included in this plan. All future project reports will he formulated and submitted to MB and then onto ADEC for subsequent review and filing. 09-005cssplan Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan (plan) has been prepared by TELLUS, Ltd. (TELLUS) on behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough Engineering & Facilities Department (KIB) for the Kodiak High School (IHHS) Soil Remediation Project located in Kodiak, Alaska. This plan has been developed based on the criteria set forth in State of Alaska Statutes 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78. These regulations serve as the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's (ADEC) environmental compliance guidelines for this project. The objective of this project is to collect data and characterize the existing contaminated soil stockpiled at KHS during the proposed soil relocation activities. After the soil is relocated and the associated analytical results are obtained, efforts can be directed to reviewing existing soil disposal or treatment options. This document is comprised of Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) sections. Subcontractor qualifications are also included in this plan. All future project reports will be formulated and submitted to KIB and then onto ADEC for subsequent review and filing. 2.0 SI'Z'E DESCRIPTION Approximately 1600 cubic yards of contaminated soil was previously excavated and temporarily stockpiled at KHS during KIB's underground storage tank (UST) replacement project completed in 2007. The five (5) contaminated soil stockpiles are staged inside five (5) individually lined cells at KHS. The cells have been enclosed with temporary fencing and are located adjacent to the high school building. Trucks can be loaded easily onsite and any spillage will be cleaned up immediately. Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 3 3.0 HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM (HSP) Initial worker protection will be Level D (contact but non -respiratory) with an upgrade to Level C (contact and respiratory) should site conditions require. All workers will be required to minimize direct contact with hydrocarbon impacted soils. Exposure routes of inhalation, absorption through the skin, ingestion, and eye contact should be avoided. Appropriate protection and personnel behavior complying with the contractor's HSP will be required from all workers onsite. This will minimize the potential for exposure of workers to petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the previously stockpiled soils. Contact protection (Level D) would include: high visibility work -grade outerwear, hardhat, gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, and steel -toe boots while respiratory protection (Level C) would include passive -type, organic cartridge respirators. The consistent presence of elevated volatile levels in the breathing zone will prompt the contractor to review the current level of protection being used and discuss additional upgrades should it be deemed necessary. Ambient air quality monitoring around the existing contaminated soil stockpiles and at the new soil staging area will be performed using an organic vapor monitoring instrument (photoionization detector - PID). All ambient air quality monitoring information will be recorded in the TELLUS Daily Field Reports. The PID will be used to monitor hydrocarbon vapors in the atmosphere of the work area. Permissible levels in the work area should be monitored to determine actual concentrations in the breathing zone. Inhalation represents the most likely exposure pathway for these contaminants of concem. Should hydrocarbon vapors consistently exceed action levels of 20.0 units (PID) in the breathing zone without periodic ventilation or a breeze allowing workers to work upwind of the impacted area, an upgrade of worker protection may be necessary. Environmental and occupational safety regulations will be adhered to during all sampling, field screening and environmental monitoring / testing activities performed during this project. 4.0 FIELD SAMPLING PLAN (FSP) Mr. Scott Erdmann of TELLUS will serve as the qualified field sampler and independent environmental consultant for this project. Mr. Erdmann's qualifications are described in his resume which is attached to this document. He is familiar with activities associated with field screening, material sampling, and the interpretation of field and analytical data based on previous project experience, regulatory guidelines, and manufacturer guidance documents. The primary objective of this FSP is to obtain data, provide accurate information for soil classification and allow for segregation and the relocation of the previously stockpiled contaminated soil. Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 4 The FSP for this project will incorporate visual inspection, field screen testing, and analytical laboratory testing for hydrocarbon contamination within the stockpiled soil. Visual inspection and field screening will be performed throughout soil relocation activities. 4.1 Field Screening A Mini RAE Lite photoionization detector (PID) is tentatively planned to be used for field screen testing during this project. The PID will be calibrated at the beginning and the end of each work shift using isobutylene calibration gas. The first calibration is intended to set the instrument while the second calibration is performed to measure any instrument drift that may have occurred during the work shift. The calibration methods will be performed by TELLUS personnel in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The PID will be calibrated to the nearest tenth of a unit number. Field screening soil samples will be collected and placed in a plastic Ziploc bag to the level of one-third to one-half capacity. The bag will be sealed and the soil will be allowed to volatilize. The bag and its contents will then be heated to at least 60 degrees F, and a headspace reading will be measured. The associated field screening data will then be recorded in the TELLUS daily field report. This method and the summarized procedure are in compliance with ADEC's current environmental guidance documents. It is anticipated that at least one (1) field screening sample for every twenty five (25) cubic yards of stockpiled soil will be collected, inspected and measured. Based on the estimated volume of 1600 cubic yards, this would yield sixty-four (64) field screening samples. In addition to the PID, TELLUS will utilize the PetroFLAG onsite testing system in order to provide additional field screening data that can be used for correlation with the analytical laboratory results. It is anticipated that between ten (10) and twenty (20) PetroFLAG field tests will be performed, evaluated and recorded. 4.2 Confirmation Soil Sampling Discrete soil sampling procedures, based on field screening results, will be implemented during this project. The discrete soil samples will be collected and submitted for analyses based on observed visual and / or olfactory evidence along with elevated field screening readings as measured by the PID. The discrete samples submitted for analyses will be selected from at least twenty (20) soil samples with the highest field screening readings indicative of typical petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. 09-O05csspian Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 5 In addition, one (1) duplicate sample for every ten (10) discrete confirmation samples will be collected and submitted for analyses. This corresponding rate of ten (10) percent duplicate samples will assist in determining whether quality assurance / quality control objectives have been achieved during this project. The sampling of hydrocarbon contaminated soil will be conducted in accordance with 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78. Sample packaging, handling, documentation, transportation, chain of custody, and reporting procedures will also be performed as specified in these statutes. Samples shall be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO as defined in Section 4.4 (Analytical Program) of this document. The samples will be numerically identified in a manner easy to understand and their locations will be documented in the TELLUS daily field report. The tentative plan is to correlate all field screening and sampling location results to the newly located contaminated soil stockpiles. Disposable sampling supplies will be utilized to minimize decontamination efforts. Decontamination activities required to be conducted as part of this project will be performed as per OSHA, ADEC, and EPA regulations. 4.3 Soil Classification During this project, soil will be classified as: CLEAN - Diesel Range Organics at 0 to 250 ppm Gasoline Range Organics at 0 to 100 ppm and CONTAMINATED — Greater than 250 ppm DRO Greater than 100 ppm GRO Exceeds ADEC Method 2 Soil Cleanup Levels for BTEX 4.4 Analytical Program Analyses to be performed during this project include: aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) using Method 8021B, gasoline range organics (GRO) using Method AK101, and diesel range organics (DRO) using Method AK102. Test America, Inc. (TAI) will be the contract laboratory providing the analytical testing services during this project. Analytical results will be furnished to the KIB within the turn around time requested. 09-005cssplaa Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan KHS Soil Remediation Project Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska 5.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM PLAN (QAPP) 09-005 lune 2009 Page 6 ADEC requires that any consultant or field personnel performing environmental monitoring and/or sampling be qualified based on the requirements set forth in 18 AAC 78 and be on ADEC's approved list. Mr. Scott Erdmann of TELLUS is qualified per 18 AAC 78 and is listed with ADEC as an approved environmental professional. Qualitative and quantitative objectives for data quality generated during the performance of monitoring and field sampling are critical to the success of this project. Conclusions and recommendations are formulated from this data and directly affect future project tasks and schedules. It is imperative that the data obtained is carefully evaluated for precision, accuracy, and completeness. KIB and their subcontractors will follow all regulatory and manufacturer guidelines when conducting data acquisition. Test America, Inc. (TAI) is the contract laboratory selected to conduct the analytical portion of this program. TAI is certified by ADEC, EPA, and the ACOE to perform the analytical testing specified in this plan. A copy of TAI's ADEC-approved laboratory QAPP is attached to this document for review. 6.0 CONTAMINATED SOIL RELOCATION & TEMPORARY STOCKPILING All contaminated soil removed from the KHS stockpiles will be segregated, transported to and staged at the new contaminated soil staging area located at Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision. The proposed haul route is to take Mill Bay Road to Von Scheele Way and then down Selief Lane to the staging area on Lot 2A. Lot 2A is a level, gravel pad area, that is more than large enough (11.92 acres) to accommodate the volume of soil that will be relocated. Upon relocation, the new soil stockpiles will be labeled, covered and secured. Petroleum contaminated soil will be transported in covered loads to the new contaminated soil stockpile area. Thorough efforts will be made to prevent the escapement of any liquid and / or contaminated soil during loading and hauling activities. All contaminated soil to be temporarily stockpiled will be placed upon a petroleum resistant liner having a minimum thickness of 20 mil. All temporary soil stockpiles will be constructed as to not retain water and be in accordance with ADEC's Long -Tenn Contaminated Soil Stockpiling Requirements (18 AAC 78.370). 09-005cssplan Contaminated Soil Stockpile Work Plan 09-005 KHS Soil Remediation Project June 2009 Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska Page 7 In addition, no contaminated soil will be: • placed within 30 feet of the edge of a gravel pad or native vegetation, • placed within 100 feet of any surface water body, • used for berms or containment structures, or • used to cover / bury any items or debris. All stockpiled soil will have been initially field screened, segregated into lots and preliminarily classified. The soil lots can then be covered with a 10 mil, nylon reinforced, visquene top cover. The temporary contaminated soil stockpiles and the surrounding area will be maintained throughout the duration of this project. The soil staged in the new contaminated soil staging area shall be clearly identified and documented so contaminated soil can be tracked and monitored throughout this project. The field marking program shall be suitable to withstand the expected exposure elements. Quantities of material placed in the new contaminated soil staging area shall be estimated using truck counts. An effective anchoring system will be constructed using either clean material or timbers to secure the sides of both the top and bottom liners. The bottom liner will be folded over and then tucked beneath the containment structure. The top liner will then be draped across the containment structure and secured with either clean material or timbers outside of the containment cell. Sandbags, tires, or other suitable non -penetrating materials will be used at a rate of one item per each 200 square feet of surface area to secure the sides of the top cover from moving during strong winds, rain, etc. 7.0 REPORT SUBMITTAL 7.1 Field Summary Report TELLUS will provide all field and analytical laboratory results in ADEC Data Deliverable Package Format to KIB during this project. ADEC Analytical Data Review Checklists will be completed and submitted for each analytical work order performed by the contract laboratory. KIB will then forward copies of all field and laboratory results to ADEC for subsequent review and filing. A Final Project Report will be submitted to KIB and ADEC at the completion of the environmental sampling portion of this project. The report will include a narrative (discussing volume, disposition, justification, location and subsequent placement of all project soils) figures with sampling locations, field data, analytical laboratory data and a site photos section. It is understood that at the completion of the project, KIB desires to have a clear classification for all petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soils relocated during this project. • —.- • *I - Existing Soil Storage Cells at Kodiak High School.

GOULD, seconded by MONROE moved to approve Contract No. 93-58 with Kodiak Home Repair of Kodiak, Alaska, in an amount not to exceed $56,000. Mayor Selby explained that the contract was for removal of non-metal debris. He stated that once the debris was removed, the intent was to cover the area / with rock and gravel to create baseball fields and a recreation area. At questions raised by Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby explained that once the debris was removed, Department of Environmental Conservation representatives would make final determination that the area was sufficiently cleared of hazardous materials. VOTE ON MOTION TO APPROVE Ayes: Gould, Hancock, Milligan, Monroe, Austerman, McFarland Noes: Burt MOTION CARRIED 6 Ayes, 1 No CONTRACT NO. 93-58 SCOPE OF WORK SMOKEYS METAL DUMP DEBRIS CLEANUP PROJECT A. RECITAL The Kodiak Island Borough is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Alaska. The Borough requires a debris cleanup of Smokey's Dump, a former landfill located within the Borough's jurisdiction. The Contractor will be the party selected by the Borough that has industry knowledge regarding the separation, processing, loading, and general construction skills of scrap steel recycling, debris removal and site grading. The following elements are to be incorporated into the Construction Contract entered with the Contractor. B. SCRAP METAL/DEBRIS CLEANUP The area of land which is known as Smokey's Metal Dump was originally leased by the Kodiak Island Borough to private parties in February, 1966. The site was predominantly used to dispose of municipal solid waste materials ( see Figure 1 for the location of the disposal site). Solid wastes were conventionally landfilled at the site for the next 10 years. Burning of garbage was also conducted from time to time during the period of active disposal. During the late 1970's increasing amounts of scrap iron were brought to the site. By 1981, the area was devoted to accepting scrap metal for disposal and/or salvage. Metals, including automobiles and other debris continued to accumulate at the site, creating large unorganized piles which were randomly distributed. Metals and debris became commingled during the transition from mostly a refuse disposal operation in the early 1970's to metal disposal and salvaging of the early 1990's. This "zone of transition" between garbage and metals disposal is the focus of this cleanup project. Approximately 4,000 tons of mixed metals and automobiles have been removed from the site. Debris still remain on site and comprise of non-metal materials and non -salvageable and salvageable ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The actual tonnage of economically salvageable metals is unknown. Non -salvageable metals include cable, tanks and drums. The characteristics of debris which are non-metal in nature include wood, plastic, paper and a considerable number of tires. Much of the material which remains at the site is a mixture of these items which will not require sorting or removal from the site. The Kodiak Island Borough (Borough) wishes to contract a qualified contractor to sort metals, clean debris and grade the area. This will be accomplished through a combination of segregating a limited amount of metals which exist on site, the removal and haulage of some debris to the Kodiak Island Borough landfill and the grading of the area utilizing existing soil, rock and debris. 3- SCOPE OF WORK SMOKEYS METAL DUMP DEBRIS CLEANUP PROJECT (continued) The Contractor agrees to furnish all equipment and perform all the work necessary to complete the following cleanup activities. The Contractor will provide a trained crew with a supervisor skilled in scrap handling, debris removal and land surface grading. The Contractor will separate recoverable metals from debris piles remaining at Smokeys into the following categories: aluminum; other non-ferrous metals if they exist in adequate quantities; ferrous metals; automobiles. The amount of metal salvaged and transported to the Kodiak Island Borough Landfill facility shall not exceed 1,000 tons. Other materials such as wood, soil and rock, paper products, cable and other miscellaneous rubbish and solid waste materials shall not be separated. The Borough prefers to move a minimal amount of debris from site. Up to 4,000 cubic yards of debris may require transport from the site to the the landfill. The Contractor will work cooperatively and closely with Borough staff to determine grade levels and the amount of debris and metals ultimately transported from the site. The Borough reserves the right to determine the final method of disposal of debris and/or metals. If substantial amounts of wood are encountered, these materials can be separated and burned on site provided such burning does not produce black smoke. The Contractor is not required to provide transportation for any scrap material from locations other than Smokeys Metal Dump. The Contractor will be responsible to keep track of the amount of material which it collects for transport to the Kodiak Island Borough Landfill facility. C. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Based on previous work which has been done on the site, no significant environmental hazards were or are they expected to be encountered on the site. The Borough acknowledges that General is not required to accept hazardous materials of any kind. 1. Definition. Hazardous materials are defined to include: (a) any "hazardous substance" as defined in CERCLA, § 101(14) or any "hazardous waste" as defined in. RCRA and applicable regulations or any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, or (b) any form of radioactive waste material, contaminant or pollutant or any spent nuclear fuel as those terms are defined in any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations.

Initial debris removal includes tires and miscellaneous solid wastes along the margins of the site with a minimum amount being hauled to the landfill for disposal. In addition, small amounts of metal will be recycled. VILLAGE AND KODIAK METAL CLEANUP, PHASE II KIB is working to provide an estimate of actual costs to remove metals island wide. KIB/DOT would assemble an agreement similar to the Phase I document. This funding covers junk vehicles not covered in the previous contract. ABANDONED VEHICLE RECYCLING PROGRAM Seven proposals were received by KIB Engineering/Facilities to recycle scrap metal currently being staged at the KIB Landfill/Baler Facility. This contract requires the contractor to remove gasoline, oil, batteries and anti -freeze from vehicles prior to shipment. KIB will maintain responsibility for the disposal of potentially hazardous materials. The contractor will maintain responsibility for assembling and shipping loads free of hazardous waste material or other hazards. Based on KIB's review of all proposals, recommended award of contract to Northern Exploration & Equipment Co. in the amount of $61.77 per ton of metal which is processed and shipped to a recycling facility off island. A contract has been written and is being reviewed by the attorney. The project start date has not been determined, but is anticipated to be sometime in April, 1994. KARLUK LANDFILL RELOCATE Ongoing. KIB staff continues to address issues regarding construction design and funding surrounding solid waste collection and disposal at Karluk. KIB staff has identified a site which would be suitable for the construction of a landfill. The file "Karluk Landfill Project" has been prepared which contains information concerning the problem . KIB OIL T)NR REPLACEKET A conceptual remediation plan is in progress and will be issued / to ADEC for approval.

INTRODUCTION Action in this case would perform two items that are needed in the Borough's effort to create a park from this former metals dump. These items include: 1. Reducing the length of the cul-de-sac; and 2. Eliminating an interior lot line to aid in future construction. II. PARR As you know, it has been the goal of community to clean up this former dump site and make it into a usable area. Various conceptual park plans have been entertained. These concepts chane daily as the area is surveyed and mapped. Also occurring is the formal process of closing this former dump. Presently, waste material (primarily composed of clay from the hospital construction project) is being spread on top of this former metals dump. This clay material meets DEC's minimum requirements for closing dumps and landfills. To be closed out, dumps are required to be sealed with a tight -grained material that prevents rain and surface water from percolating down and through the debris that made up the landfill. III. RECOMMENDATION This plat provides more area for park construction by eliminating a portion of the 60 foot wide right-of-way. It also eliminates an interior lot that is no longer needed, creating one lot. It is recommended that this preliminary plat be approved. COhif.hJ I FV DO. k . nT ,wv �f II.

These lots have just been sold and now the topsoil needs to be moved, and a place is needed to move it to. I am requesting permission for the City to be allowed to move the topsoil to the Dark Lake area that was built, and at one time, designated to be a softball field, Since the original purpose of the area was for use as a sports field and since it was recently (within the last two years), approved by the Borough park board for use as a softball field, it may be that the topsoil would be just what's needed to finally finish the project for the purpose it was originally intended. Public Works is moving the material from Near Island today. If they can't take it to the Dark Lake area, they will have to haul it all the way to Gibson Cove—a long haul and a hard place from which to move it a second time. Would it be possible to get permission today (even this morning) to take the topsoil to Dark Lake, with the intention of temporary storage, but with the possibility of eventually sp reading It on the rock pad to be used as surface material to create a much-needed grass -covered sports field? I am copying Bob, Woody and Kris, because I've talked to each of them this morning about this.

The regulations are located at 18 AAC 75.365, and 18 AAC 78.273. 18 AAC 75.365 and 18 AAC 78.273 require the owner/operator of a soil treatment facility to provide complete containment of the contaminated soil before, during, and after treatment, until the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Proper containment structures for the storage and processing of contaminated soil and water is a crucial portion of any soil treatment facility. The costs associated with providing adequate containment structures at a treatment facility can be significant. The below criteria have been developed in order to provide direction to treatment facility owners/operators in the development of their operations plans and to assist CSP staff in their review of facility operations plans. The criteria are intended to develop and maintain statewide consistency in the regulation of soil treatment facilities by providing appropriate guidance for the containment of contaminated soil before, during, and after treatment. Back round Information The department is receiving an increasing number of soil treatment facility operations plans for facilities operating in the less populated areas of the state. These areas typically do not have permanent soil remediation facilities such as those existing in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kodiak, or Juneau. Many of the facilities operating in less populated portions of the state consist of thermal treatment equipment, designed to be portable enough to be transported by road, barge, or plane to remote areas. They are designed to provide cost -competitive soil treatment options off the established road system, or along the road system in areas of the state where the cost of transporting soils to a permanent soil treatment facility may be cost prohibitive. The nature and scope of soil treatment facility operations plans are varied. Many facilities are designed specifically to remediate soil at the facility or project site where the contaminated soil has been generated (often involves the treatment of a pre-existing stockpile of contaminated soil). Facilities that are set up at the project site where the contaminated soil has been generated are termed `portable' treatment facilities under 18 AAC 75.365, 18 AAC 78.273, and in this guidance document. Other operations plans are designed for facilities that will receive contaminated soil from one or more offsite sources, requiring that the contaminated soil be transported to, and managed by, the soil treatment facility. Facilities that are established at a location to receive soils from one (1) or more offsite locations are termed offsite' facilities under 18 AAC 75.365, 18 AAC 78.273, and in this guidance document. Offsite operations plans cover the spectrum of operations from those intended to receive soils from a single project site/facility, to those intended to receive and treat soils from multiple project sites/facilities that may be within that area or region. The risk of secondary contamination at these offsite facilities varies due to the type of facility, existing site conditions and surrounding features and environment, and the intensity of use. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 1 Soil containment provisions for portable soil treatment facilities and three (3) categories of offsite soil treatment facilities have been developed, so that appropriate containment provisions can be implemented in response to the relative risk posed by these differing treatment facility operations. Soil Treatment Facility Definitions Category A) Portable Treatment Facility: Portable treatment facilities are commonly set up at the contaminated site where the soil was generated. Examples of Portable Treatment Facilities include, but are not limited to: thermal desorption rotary kiln units, enhanced -thermal desorption units, hot-air vapor extraction units, and soil washing units. A minimum of 10 -mil base liner is required beneath the soil containment, transportation, and treatment areas for operations of less than 180 days duration. A minimum of 20 -mil base liner is required in these areas for operations of greater than 180 days duration. Protection of the base liner should include preparation of a firm, smooth, and level base. If the native soil base contains sharp or Targe aggregate or debris, sand (of appropriate quality to be used as a bedding material) or protective felt fabric must be placed on the native soil prior to laying the base liner down. A sand layer or felt fabric should also be considered for placement on top of the base liner prior to placement of the contaminated soil, if the contaminated soil is frozen or contains large aggregate/debris that would likely damage the base liner. A sand layer of adequate thickness to protect the liner should be placed on top of the liner if equipment is to be repetitively operated in the contaminated soil storage cell. Post -treated soil stockpiles need to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Factors which influence the degree of containment required for post -treated soil stockpiles include the level of confidence that the remediation method will meet the cleanup levels, the time delay prior to receiving post-treatment analytical results, and the sensitivity of the surrounding land use and environment. Category B) Offsite Treatment Facility Receiving Soil from One Contaminated Site: This category of offsite treatment facility is designed to receive, manage, and remediate soil that has been transported from the site where the contaminated soil was generated to an offsite location for storage and treatment. Examples of Offsite Treatment Facilities include, but are not limited to: thermal desorption rotary kiln units, enhanced -thermal desorption units, hot-air vapor extraction units, and soil washing units. Category B facilities are restricted to treatment of soil from only one contaminated project site (i.e., soil generated from a single contaminated site or by a single facility). A minimum of 10 -mil base liner is required beneath the soil containment, transportation, and treatment areas for operations of less than 180 days duration. A minimum of 20 -mil base liner is required in these areas for operations of greater than 180 days duration. Protection for the base liner in contaminated soil containment, transportation, and Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 2 treatment areas should include preparation of a firm, smooth, and level base. If the native soil base contains sharp or Targe aggregate or debris, a sand (of appropriate quality to be used as a bedding material) or protective felt fabric must be placed on the native soil prior to laying the base liner down. A sand layer or felt fabric should also be considered for placement on top of the base liner prior to placement of the contaminated soil, if the contaminated soil is frozen or contains large aggregate/debris that would likely damage the base liner. A sand layer of adequate thickness to protect the liner should be considered for placement on top of the liner if equipment is to be repetitively operated in the contaminated soil storage cell. Post -treated soil stockpiles need to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Factors which influence the degree of containment required for post -treated soil stockpiles include the level of confidence that the remediation method will meet the cleanup levels, the time delay prior to receiving post-treatment analytical results, and the sensitivity of the surrounding land use and environment. Category C) Offsite Treatment Facility Receiving Soil from Multiple Projects/Facilities: Up to three years of operations The minimum soil containment provision for Category C offsite treatment facilities shall consist of the engineered design, construction inspection, and record drawings of the Tined contaminated soil storage, transportation, and treatment areas. It is recommended that the facility be designed such that the input or Toad hopper to the treatment equipment is contiguous to the soil containment cell, when practical. An Alaska registered engineer shall submit construction design drawings (plan and cross sectional), details, and specifications for the installation of the lined contaminated soil containment areas prior to construction or use of the facility. These engineering plans must be sealed and signed by a registered engineer. Within 45 days after the completion of construction of the facility, a registered engineer must also provide sealed and signed record drawings, verifying that all lined containment areas were installed in accordance with the DEC approved plan. This means that the engineer, or the engineer's assistant, must inspect and document the installation process. Examples of lined, engineered containment designs and specifications are available from DEC from prior -approved soil treatment facility operations plans. Lined, engineered containment areas are limited to no more than three years of use (from the date that contaminated soil was first placed within the containment area), at which time the removal and closure assessment of that portion of the treatment facility is required. DEC approval of continued operations for a period of time that exceeds three years would require submittal of another engineered soil containment plan, construction of new soil containment structures, and construction inspection and record drawings by a registered engineer. Post -treated soil stockpiles at Category C facilities are to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 3 I� cleanup levels. Structures for post -treated soil containment shall be included in the engineered plans. See Attachment A for additional engineering plan guidance for Category C facilities. Category D) Offsite Treatment Facility Receiving Soil from Multiple Projects/Facilities: More than three years of operations The minimum soil containment provision for Category D Offsite Treatment Facilities shall consist of the engineered design, construction inspection, and record drawings of concrete, steel, or other hard -surface, petroleum -resistant contaminated soil storage, transportation, and treatment areas. Soil containment areas for Category D facilities shall include a hard, petroleum -resistant surface that is resistant to structural damage by bulldozers, backhoe buckets, and front-end loader buckets. It is recommended that the facility be designed such that the input or load hopper to the treatment equipment is contiguous to the soil containment cell, when practical. An Alaska registered engineer shall submit construction design drawings (plan and cross sectional), details, and specifications for the installation of the hard surface contaminated soil containment areas, prior to construction or use of the facility. These engineering plans must be sealed and signed by a registered engineer. Within 45 days after the completion of construction of the facility, a registered engineer shall also provide sealed and signed record drawings, verifying that all hard surface containment areas were installed in accordance with the DEC approved plan. This means that the engineer, or the engineer's assistant, must inspect and document the installation process. Examples of hard -surface, engineered containment designs and specifications are available from DEC from prior -approved soil treatment facility operations plans. Post -treated soil stockpiles at Category D facilities are to be contained until final verification samples have established that the contaminated soil meets the applicable cleanup levels. Structures for post -treated soil containment shall be included in the engineered plans. See Attachment A for additional engineering plan guidance for Category D facilities. Discretionary Category Designation The above four (4) categories of soil treatment facilities are expected to address the majority of soil treatment facility operations within the state. Under certain circumstances, DEC staff may need to exercise discretionary authority in determining the most appropriate categorical requirements to apply to a soil treatment facility, which could increase or decrease the level of soil containment criteria required. DEC project managers should coordinate any discretionary category designation with supervision and the program staff responsible for reviewing Category CID facility operations plans in order to maintain statewide consistency. The two most likely examples of such circumstances are discussed below: Large quantity of soil from one project: Soils from a single project totaling more than approximately 4000 cubic yards (-6000 tons) are proposed for treatment either on or offsite. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 4 Concern would normally be greater for offsite treatment. Under this circumstance, DEC may exercise discretion to increase the soil containment criteria from Category A or B, and reclassify the facility to the more protective Category C. Factors that DEC will examine and consider include, but are not limited to: a) the sensitivity of the environment and current environmental conditions at the proposed soil treatment site; b) soil contaminant concentrations; c) soil treatment processing rate and the total span of time projected to complete soil treatment; d) whether soil treatment will occur during winter or freeze -thaw weather conditions; e) whether contaminated soil stockpiles will have to over -winter during the soil treatment process; f) whether the soil storage cell will be repetitively loaded and unloaded during the soil processing operation, thereby threatening the integrity of the base liner, compared to the strictly one time unloading of contaminated soil from a soil storage cell to the treatment equipment; and g) other project -specific considerations that relate to the risk of secondary contamination of the soil treatment site. Minimal quantity of soil from multiple projects: Soils from more than one project (generating site), totaling less than approximately 500 cubic yards (-750 tons) are proposed for treatment at a single processing location. Under this circumstance, DEC may exercise discretion to relax the soil containment criteria from Category C and reclassify the facility down to Category B. Factors that DEC will examine and consider include, but are not limited to: a) the remoteness of the soil treatment project from existing Category C or D soil treatment facilities; b) all of the factors identified in the preceding example — `Large quantity of soil from one project.' The Operations Plan Review Process: Projected Processing Times Category A and B soil treatment facilities requesting department approval of an operations plan should allow for a minimum 30 (Category A) or 45 (Category B) -day review and processing period from the date of submittal of the operations plan. A public participation process may be required for facilities in these categories, involving a three-day publication of a Soil Treatment Facility Operations Plan Notice in local newspaper(s) and a two-week public comment period following the last date of publication. The department must approve the wording of the public notice prior to publication. Comments in response to the notice will be directed to the department. Category C and D soil treatment facilities requesting department approval of an operations plan should allow for a minimum 60 -day review and processing period from the date of submittal of the operations plan. A public participation process is required for these facilities, involving a Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 5 three-day publication of a Soil Treatment Facility Operations Plan Notice in local newspaper(s) and a two-week public comment period following the last date of publication. The department must approve the wording of the public notice prior to publication. Comments in response to the notice shall be directed to the department. It would not be uncommon for the operations plan review and public notification process for category C and D facilities to run longer than 60 days. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 6 ATTACHMENT A Engineering Design Criteria for Soil Containment Structures Using Synthetic Liners. (Maximum Approved Life of Three (3) Years) Base liners must be a minimum of 20 mil nominal thickness and comply with the Long Term Liner Specifications in 18 AAC 78.274(a), Table B. Liners should be factory seam sealed by the manufacturer whenever possible. Field seeming of liners is only allowed when conducted in accordance with the liner manufacturer's recommended procedures, to include any certification, training, and experience requirements placed on field seaming workers. Field seaming methods must be clearly specified in the engineering plans for DEC review. Base soil specification for soils beneath and in contact with the liner are 100% passing the'/." US sieve, without sharp fracture surfaces on the aggregate. A minimum of three (3) inches of soil meeting this specification is required immediately beneath the base liner at all locations. If the base specification soil is not available or not used, an appropriate thickness protective felt fabric may be employed to offset the use of out -of -specification material to some extent, depending on the quality of the specific bedding materials proposed for use. The design engineer will need to research and support the use of the appropriate felt fabric in conjunction with any out -of -specification base soil. Base soils must be smooth with no sharp or irregular projections and sufficiently compacted to prevent settlement under the soil and vehicle loading that will occur over the linered containment area. The base soils should, at the minimum, be proof -rolled under the observation of the engineer. The engineer is required to inspect and approve the prepared soil base prior to placement of the synthetic liner (or protective felt fabric if used). Cover soil specification for soils above and in contact with the base liner are 100% passing the 3/8" US standard sieve, sandy, free -draining soil. A minimum of 18" of cover soil must be maintained above the base liner at all times, prior to heavy equipment and vehicle travel over the base liner. This will require special soil cover placement techniques, which must be described and specified within the engineering plans. The 18" minimum applies to entry and exit ramp areas also. If the cover specification soil is not available or not used, protective felt fabrics may be employed to allow the use of some out -of -specification cover soil. In this situation, the design engineer will need to research and support the use of an appropriate felt fabric for use with out -of -spec cover soil. The engineer is required to be present during the cover soil placement process in order to certify that proper soil placement techniques have been employed. Whenever protective felt fabrics are used, a minimum 12" overlap is required at all felt joints. The perimeter of the liner shall be bermed a minimum of 6" above the surrounding soil surface to prevent surface water intrusion of the containment cell. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 7 �3 A minimum of 18" of cover soil must be maintained over the synthetic liner at all times throughout the life of the soil containment cell. The design should include provisions that will help to ensure that the owner/operator will maintain the minimum of 18" of cover soil during operations. An Alaska registered engineer or registered land surveyor shall provide survey control and documentation during the construction process, and provide certified contour drawings of the facility and soil containment cells and structures. These survey drawings must include a permanent benchmark for purposes of future reference. Soil containment cells must be designed and contoured such that nondomestic wastewater collecting within the cell(s) can drain to a monitoring and de -watering sump. This sump, in combination with the free -draining cover soil within the cell, will provide a means for both monitoring the accumulation of wastewater and evacuating excess wastewater to prevent cell flooding. The free -draining soil must remain structurally stable and support vehicle loading when saturated. A provision for the handling, storage, processing, and ultimate disposal of nondomestic wastewater must be provided in the plans. The plans must include a provision for the operation and maintenance of the monitoring and de -watering sump. The requirement for engineered record drawings means that the engineer must provide adequate construction inspection and oversight, so as to be able to certify that the structures were constructed as intended and in compliance with DEC approved plans. The general format for the engineering plans should follow the engineering plan requirements found in 18 AAC 72.600(c) (Nondomestic Wastewater System Plan Review, Application for Department Approval). Engineering Design Criteria for Hard -Surface (i.e. Concrete, Steel) Soil Containment Structures. Hard -surface soil containment cells require the following: Engineering plans, details, drawings, and specifications must be signed and sealed by a registered engineer demonstrating proper base soil materials selection, placement, and preparation in order to support the multi -season and long-term use of the concrete or other hard -surface, petroleum resistant containment cells. An Alaska registered engineer or registered land surveyor must provide survey control and documentation during the construction process and provide certified contour drawings of the facility and soil containment cells and structures. These survey drawings must include a permanent benchmark for purposes of future reference. Engineering design plans and specifications for the concrete slabs or other hard, petroleum resistant surface, identifying the loading design parameters, must be signed and sealed by a registered engineer. Soil Treatment Facility Guidance 8 1 A roof covering the soil containment cells is preferred. For plans lacking a roof, contours and provisions must be included to control, contain, handle, process, and dispose of nondomestic wastewater that accumulates within the soil containment cells. The engineering plans must include a long-term inspection and maintenance program to ensure the structural and watertight integrity of the concrete pad or other hard, petroleum resistant surface. The requirement for engineered record drawings means that the engineer must provide adequate construction inspection and oversight, so as to be able to certify that the structures were constructed as intended, and in compliance with the DEC approved plans. The general format for the engineering plans should follow the engineering plan requirements found in 18 AAC 72.600(c) (Nondomestic Wastewater System Plan Review, Application for Department Approval).

I also asked a few longtime DEC employees if they remembered anything about it, and all they could recollect was that a pond at the site had been filled in then the area was capped with clay/silt to shed water and keep it from interacting with the buried debris, then the ball fields were built. To reiterate what I said in our original conversation, soil remediation at the property in question has not been approved by DEC, nor have we seen any plans that propose it, nor has the transport of the soil from its current location to the lot next to yours been approved. If you see soil being moved to that property, please let me know. Soil treatment facilities of this nature have to follow our guidance, which I've attached for your reference.

The Community Development Department is holding the KIB EF Department to the same standard as any other property owner applicant. Required fees have been paid from project funds and the following information is intended to support the applicant's (KIB EF) efforts to persuade the Commission to grant the request for Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit as in the best interest of the public. P&Z Case 10-016 Page 1 EXISTING STORAGE CELLS LOCATED ON HIGH SCHOOL LAWN P&Z Case 10-016 Page 2 AND MORE CELLS ON LAWN BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND BOROUGH BUILDING. This material must be removed from the high school campus. We are presently in the planning stages of the largest construction project in KIB history. The project site will be most difficult to build on with the soil removed, and impossible with the material in place. The DEC approved plan provided for temporary (six months) storage on the high school campus until a planned soil remediation facility was operational. That facility never materialized. KIB Engineering/Facilities Department (EF) hired a consultant to provide a practical alternative to shipping off -island. Several Borough owned properties were considered before selecting the proposed property. The consultant drafted a remediation plan and received DEC approval for the process and the site.

P&Z Case 10-016 Page 5 LOOKING SOUTHWEST OVER THE PROPOSED SITE SHOWING THE INDUSTRIAL ZONED LOTS TO THE LEFT AND PART OF THE GREENBELT TO THE RIGHT. EF learned that in order to stockpile soil in a Public Use Lands Zone we must acquire a Similar Use Determination and a Conditional Use Permit. EF applied for the permit and the determination with the Community Development Department (CDD). EF agrees that a use that is permitted and similar in character and impact in the zone would be governmental maintenance and service storage yards. Typical activities in such facilities include heavy equipment storage, servicing, and refueling; and storage of maintenance materials i.e. sand, gravel, salt, Targe rock, and soils.

However, both the impacts and potential hazards present in these maintenance yards is greater than those the project activities will create. The probability of petroleum spills is far greater when transferring flowing products between tanks and vehicles than it is when storing contaminated soils totally encapsulated in liners designed specifically for this purpose. No refueling, servicing, or storing of equipment will take place on the property. Not to mention the frequency and volume of equipment traffic. Equipment will only be on site for periodic aeration of the soils. The passive remediation process is quite innocuous to its surroundings. However, it does take time. EF fully expects to complete the process within two summer seasons. EF suggested a two year limit on the Conditional Use Permit, but CDD recommended four years with P&Z Case 10-016 Page 15 no valid basis for the additional two years. EF would agree to a two year term on the permit with the understanding that there is a slight chance of requesting a one year extension should the process work slower than expected. However, the question before you tonight is not to pass judgment on the remediation process, but rather the question before you is to determine if storage of diesel contaminated soils encased in an impermeable cocoon is similar in character and impact with the activities of the maintenance/ service and storage yards identified above; and by granting this use will the project maximize benefits to the public; and will it not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience, and comfort; and will the project not harm the value, spirit, character, and integrity of the surrounding area.
