INCENDIARY DISPOSAL AREA

 

SITE DESCRIPTION

In the Final CTT Range/Site Inventory Report (e2M 2003) the Incendiary Disposal Area MRS was not identified as an Active US Army MMRP site. The area is within the boundary of the East Training Range munitions response area (MRA) and is believed to have been used in the mid-1940s to burn incendiary material. Historical information indicates that the area consisted of 10 acres, but only one historical map was located that identified the site's dimensions. Two additional historical maps identified contaminated areas within its boundaries. Documentation was not located that specifically identified actual munitions burned at the site. Documents reviewed for the HRR indicate that soil contamination is present. Based on the detonation craters identified in 2005, the acreage of the area was increased to 12 to incorporate the detonation craters. The number of acres was increased to 36 during the first phase of the RI.

CLEANUP STRATEGY

In October 2007 the SI was completed. Per the agreements made in the December 2006 dispute resolution, the US Army has agreed to complete RIs at all MMRP sites at IAAAP. The RI began in April 2008. The MRS Prioritization Protocol score for this site was reviewed in FY09.
