House 101.
|
House 101 was built in the 1920s and used as quarters for government employees, although in subsequent years it was occupied by island school teachers. Sometime after 1987, private parties assumed beneficial rights to the house and leased it to the Federal Aviation Administration. The building is currently unoccupied. An underground storage tank (UST) was installed on House 101 property to store heating oil for the home.

NOAA proposed to remove the UST in anticipation of the transfer of the real property under the Transfer of Property Agreement to Aleut Native American entities. NOAA implemented corrective action at House 101 in October 2002. In 2004, the National Park Service's Historic American Building Survey team measured, sketched, and photographed this building.

In October 2002, the UST and approximately 65 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soils were removed from the site. Six confirmation samples were collected and sent to a fixed laboratory for analysis. On October 11, 2004, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservaion granted NOAA no further action status for this site.
