BOXCAR UNLOADING AREA

SITE DESCRIPTION

This site consists of two areas located adjacent to the railroad tracks in Yard B, situated approximately 750 feet west of the southwestern most corner of the Explosive Disposal Area (IAAP-012). The site was utilized as an unloading and temporary storage area for dunnage lumber. The rail cars at times also transported boxes of explosives; therefore, minute amounts of explosives may have come into contact with the dunnage. The area began receiving shipments in the 1940s and continues to do so. However, in recent years, explosives have been transported primarily by trucks. Minute amounts of TNT and RDX may have come into contact with the soil in the area.

Samples taken during the SI in 1987 found no significant contamination.

This site is considered Response Complete and requires no further action under the IRP as documented in the PA/SI.
