Joseph M. Dorava Allan S. Nakanishi 1994 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) owns or operates airway support facilities near Saint Marys along the Yukon River in west-central Alaska. The FAA is evaluating the severity of environmental contamination and options for remediation of environmental contamination at their facilities. Saint Marys is on a flood plain near the continence of the Yukon and Andreafsky Rivers and has long cold winters and short summers. Residents obtain their drinking water from an infiltration gallery fed by a creek near the village. Surface spills and disposal of hazardous materials combined with potential flooding may affect the quality of the surface and ground water. Alternative drinking-water sources are available, but would likely cost more than existing supplies to develop. application/pdf 10.3133/ofr94481 en U.S. Geological Survey ; Earth Science Information Center, Open-File Reports Section [distributor], Overview of environmental and hydrogeologic conditions at Saint Marys, Alaska reports
