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.

Geophysical survey and intrusive investigation has been completed as part of the RI.  The number of acres was increased to 34 during the RI.

Per the 2006 dispute resolution the area will be fenced within 90 days of completion of the RI.

CLEANUP STRATEGY

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 during the RI in FY10.

Per the 2006 dispute resolution, fencing is required within 90 days of RI completion.  Fencing and an FS are anticipated in FY11.  MEC removal and LUCs are expected.
