Since cleanup began in the early 1990s, about 630 holes have been drilled at the former U.S. Army tank farm property at Lutak Road, tracking contaminated soil and water. Beginning in June, an Anchorage contractor will drill another 1,000 holes, focusing on untested areas and ones suspected of contaminants.
The stepped-up drill program is made possible by an ultraviolet-technology tracking device called the “UVOST.”
