Site History

 1930s-1940s: West Range used for Navy practice bombing

including miniature and practice bombs containing marker

  • charges. Documents show that live bombs were dropped on the

Parachute Jump Circle, although considerable effort was expended to recover these items

 Bombing and testing ceased in 1945

Previous Investigation

Site Inspection:

 Digital geophysical mapping (DGM) along 3-foot-wide

transects (at a spacing of 30-feet between transects)

 Surface soil sampling  Groundwater sampling

Recommended an RI to:

 Investigate subsurface

anomalies in DGM data

 Conduct soil sampling

biased toward CWM/MEC

 Collect additional

groundwater samples

Conceptual Site Model

Land Use and Receptors

PJCBT = 40 acres Target Area A = 22 acres Located within 290-acre Parachute Jump Circle:

  • Current Use: Payload drop training and quarterly mowing
  • Land use controls: intrusive activities prohibited (unless the

location is cleared and authorized for the proposed activity)

  • Future Use: No nonmilitary use
  • Receptors: residents (hypothetical)

commercial/industrial workers military or civilian personnel conducting parachute training authorized site visitors ecological receptors

Remedial Investigation

Objectives and Tasks

1) Characterize CWM/MEC

  • Are CWM and/or MEC present? If so, what types?

 Intrusive investigation of subsurface anomalies

2) Characterize chemical agent (CA) and munitions constituents (MC) contamination in the subsurface

  • Is CA/MC present in subsurface soil at concentrations

that pose unacceptable risks to human or ecological receptors?

 Biased sampling underneath intact MEC/CWM Analysis = CA, ABPs, explosives, and metals

  • Is CA/MC present in groundwater at concentrations that

pose unacceptable risks to human receptors?

 Groundwater well installation and sampling Analysis = CA, ABPs, explosives, and total metals

“WIN AS ONE”

  • MEC HA Score is “Hazard Level 2”. This hazard level indicates an area

with “high” potential explosive hazard conditions.

  • Based on the confirmed presence
  • f subsurface CWM and MEC,

a potential exists for both CWM and explosive hazards throughout PJCBT and Target Area A.

Risk Assessment for Soil

“WIN AS ONE”

Human Health Risk Assessment in subsurface soil

  • No chemicals of concern (COCs) were identified at the sampled

locations

  • Unacceptable risks to human health are not expected at these

sampled locations Ecological Risk Assessment in subsurface soil

  • Antimony, copper, lead and zinc identified as COPECs.
  • These COPECs present potentially unacceptable risk to

ecological receptors.

  • Note: The sampling approach was biased to CWM/MEC

locations and, therefore, likely overestimate the exposure level.

  • Additionally, copper appeared to be correlated to demolition and

were confirmed to be highly localized.

RI Conclusions

“WIN AS ONE”

PJCBT and Target Area A

  • CWM/MEC hazards identified, potential exists for both CWM and explosive

hazards throughout the investigation areas.

  • Eight disposal pits identified (revision to the CSM).
  • No unacceptable Human Health Risk identified for Groundwater.
  • No unacceptable Human Health Risk identified for sampled locations*
  • Potential unacceptable risk to ecological receptors for antimony, copper, lead and

zinc in soils at CWM/MEC locations.

Alternative1 Summary

Alternative 1: No Action

  • Required
  • Establishes a baseline to compare the other alternatives

Alternative 2: Optimized Soil Cover

  • Ensure a minimum 1 ft to 2 ft of existing soil cover over the

buried waste

  • Conduct a landfill cover verification investigation
  • LF-03: Stabilize slope along North Run embankment

Alternative 3: 2 Foot (ft) Soil Cover

  • Install a 2-ft soil cover over the waste, regardless of existing

soil cover

  • Prevents direct contact of buried waste, does not prevent

infiltration of stormwater through waste

  • Clear cut forests at both sites to prepare for cap installation
  • LF-03: Stabilize slope along North Run embankment

Alternative 4: RCRA Subtitle D Landfill Cover

  • Install a 2-ft thick RCRA Subtitle D Cover
  • Typical landfill cover with impermeable layers
  • Prevents infiltration of stormwater
  • LF-03: Stabilize slope along North Run embankment

OU-1 Use of a Presumptive Remedy Question: What is a presumptive remedy Answer: Preferred technologies for common categories

  • f sites (e.g., landfills)

 Presumptive remedies streamline the remedy selection

process (i.e., removal not considered as an option)

 Evaluates technologies that are best suited for the site  Ensures consistent selection of remedial actions  Landfill sites must exhibit “appropriate”

characteristics for applicability of a presumptive remedy (e.g., type of waste, volume, low risks/hazards)

McGuire Summary

 NPL Sites (Continued)

  • Pilot scale tests of potential

remedies under evaluation at OU7 and OU8

McGuire State Led Petroleum Storage Sites General

All sites are in remedial action and moving toward close out in the future

Remedies include:

  • Monitored Natural Attenuation
  • Four sites in second year of remedy (CF011; SS015; TU020; TU025)
  • AS/SVE
  • One site (TU013)—operating and removing petroleum contamination
  • ISCO
  • One site (TU018)—initial injections complete
  • Biosparging
  • One site (TU023) – construction complete
  • Source excavation/MNA
  • TU003 currently being excavated and will be in MNA only by May 2017
  • SS502 planned for sediment/soil removal action in late 2017

Site Closeout

  • One site closed (DP501-Bld. 1907)
  • 2016 Annual report recommends site close-out at TU022 and TU033
  • Close out by administrative transfer to NPL sites in 2017 at SS015 and TU029

McGuire State Led Petroleum Storage Sites: TU013 (UST E112)

  • Air Sparge/Soil Vapor Extraction at

TU013 has been running since summer 2016

  • Petroleum mass recovered to date is

275 pounds

  • Operation planned to continue for 1 to

2 years

TU013 (UST E112) – Cumulative Mass Removed (lbs)

McGuire State Led Petroleum Storage Sites TU003

Former Army & Air Force Exchange Gasoline Station

  • Located near the former main base

entrance (Wrightstown-Cookstown Road and East Arnold Ave)

  • Underground fuel storage tanks were

removed in the 1990’s

  • Soil and groundwater contamination

documented at the site

  • Original plan under the PBR was for an

AS/SVE system but subsurface conditions were not permeable enough

  • Excavation of contaminated soils and

placement of Oxygen Release Material (ORM) is ongoing followed by MNA

McGuire State Led Petroleum Storage Sites TU023

Former Pumphouse B1707

  • Located off the main aircraft apron
  • Six JP-4 USTs (installed in 1957) were

removed in 1999.

  • Jet fuel compounds were documented in

the post excavation soil samples

  • Biosparging is the selected remedy at

this site (similar to an AS/SVE system injection oxygen into the ground to enhance degradation of contaminants)

  • System was installed in January 2017

and is undergoing start-up and shakedown testing
