13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
This Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP), Version II, summarizes the current status of the Fort Ritchie Army Garrison environmental restoration and associated environmental compliance programs and presents a comprehensive strategy for implementing response actions necessary to protect human health and the environment. Fort Ritchie is a 631-acre active military communications center to be closed in October 1998, as approved under the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1995. In addition to laying out the response action approach at the installation in support of base closure, the BCP defines the status of efforts to resolve technical issues so that continued progress and implementation of scheduled activities can occur. The BCP is a dynamic document, originally prepared as Version I in September 1996, that has been updated to incorporate newly obtained information. This Version II BCP was prepared with information available as of March 1998.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
Fort Ritchie Army Garrison is a 631-acre active military communications center approved for closure under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act of 1995. The official closure date for Fort Ritchie is October 1, 1998.
The purpose of this BRAC Cleanup Plan (BCP) is to: 1) summarize the current status of the Fort Ritchie Army Garrison environmental restoration and associated environmental compliance programs, 2) present the status of the Fort Ritchie disposal and reuse plan (redevelopment plan); and 3) present a comprehensive strategy for implementing response actions in support of installation closure, necessary to protect human health and the environment. The strategy integrates activities performed under both the environmental restoration program and the associated environmental compliance programs to support full restoration of the facility. The BCP is a dynamic document designed to be updated regularly to incorporate newly obtained information and to reflect the completion or change in status of any remedial actions (RAs). The Version I BCP for Fort Ritchie was prepared in September 1996; this Version II BCP was prepared with information available as of March 1998.
This BCP is a planning document. Information, schedules, and RAs presented in this BCP do not necessarily represent those that have been or will be approved by the United States (U.S.) Army or Federal and State regulatory agencies. It was necessary to make certain assumptions and interpretations to develop this document. As additional information becomes available, implementation programs and cost estimates could be dramatically altered.
1.1 BCP ORGANIZATION
The BCP is organized into seven sections:
• Section 1 - Introduction and Summary: describes the objectives of the environmental restoration program, explains the purpose of the BCP, introduces the Project Team formed to manage the program, and provides a brief history of the installation.
• Section 2 - Property Disposal and Reuse Plan: summarizes the current status of the Fort Ritchie property disposal planning process and describes the relationship of the disposal process with other environmental programs.
• Section 3 - Installation-Wide Environmental Program Status: summarizes the current status and past history of the Fort Ritchie environmental restoration program, associated environmental compliance programs, community relations activities, and the environmental condition of the installation property.
• Section 4 - Installation-Wide Strategy for Environmental Restoration: describes the installation-wide strategy for environmental restoration, including the strategies for dealing with each area requiring environmental evaluation (AREE) on the installation. This chapter also includes plans for managing underground tanks via the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program, and summarizes plans for managing responses under other compliance programs.
• Section 5 - Environmental Program Master Schedules: provides master schedules of planned and anticipated activities to be performed throughout the duration of the environmental restoration program, including associated compliance activities.
• Section 6 - Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved: describes specific technical and/or administrative issues to be resolved and presents a strategy for resolving these issues.
• Section 7 - References: provides a list of the references utilized in the preparation of the BCP.

Section 1.0 Introduction and Summary
In addition to the main text, the following appendices are included in this document:
• Appendix A - Fiscal Year Funding Requirements/Costs: Tables presenting projected funding requirements, as well as a summary table of past costs for the environmental restoration program;
• Appendix B - Installation Environmental Restoration Documents Summary Tables: Listing of previous environmental restoration program deliverables by program and by site, as well as technical documents and data loading summaries;
• Appendix C - Decision Documents/ROD Summaries: Summaries of decision documents (DDs) for which an RA was selected;
• Appendix D - NFRAP Summaries: Summaries of each DD for each AREE for which a no further response action planned (NFRAP) decision has been made;
• Appendix E - Conceptual Model Data: Working conceptual models for AREEs; and
• Appendix F - Ancillary BCP Materials: Other ancillary materials relevant to the BCP.
1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the base closure environmental restoration program at Fort Ritchie are as follows:
Protect human health and the environment;
Strive to meet reuse goals established by the U.S. Army and the community;
Comply with existing statutes and regulations;
Conduct all environmental restoration activities in a manner consistent with Section 120 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA);
Meet Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) deadlines as detailed in Chapter 5 of this BCP;
Conduct an Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) and prepare a Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) Letter Report;
Continue efforts to identify all potentially contaminated areas;
Incorporate any new sites into the FFA as appropriate;
Establish priorities for environmental restoration and restoration-related compliance activities (so that property disposal and reuse goals can be met);
Initiate selected removal actions to control, eliminate, or reduce the risks to manageable levels;
Identify and map the environmental condition of the installation property, concurrent with remedial investigation (Rl) efforts; consider future land use when characterizing risks associated with releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous wastes;
Identify and map areas suitable for transfer by deed and areas unsuitable for transfer by deed;

1.3 BCP PURPOSE, UPDATES, AND DISTRIBUTION
This BCP presents, in summary fashion, the status of Fort Ritchie's environmental restoration and compliance programs and the comprehensive strategy for environmental restoration and restoration- related compliance activities. It lays out the response action approach at the installation in support of installation closure. In addition, it defines the status of efforts to resolve technical issues so that continued progress and implementation of scheduled activities can occur. The Fort Ritchie BCP Strategy and Schedule section is designed to streamline the necessary response actions associated with the properties within Fort Ritchie in order to facilitate the earliest possible disposal and reuse of the properties. Risk assessment protocols incorporate future land use in exposure scenarios. The official closure date for Fort Ritchie is October 1,1998.
The Final Version I BCP was submitted in September 1996. This Version II BCP and all future updates of the BCP will be distributed to each member of the Fort Ritchie BRAC Project Team and to additional individuals identified in Table 1-1. The BCP will also be available at the BRAC Information Repositories listed in Table 1-1.

1.5.2 History of Installation
The present site of Fort Ritchie was first developed as a resort community in the late 1800s. Lower Lake Royer was constructed by the Buena Vista Ice Company to provide a summer recreational area and to produce ice during the winter. Residential buildings and ice storage facilities were also constructed during this time but have since been demolished.
Five hundred eighty (580) acres of the site were purchased by the State of Maryland in 1926. Camp Ritchie was established on the property and was utilized as a brigade training area for the Maryland Army National Guard. The first permanent buildings were constructed on the installation during this time. These buildings were mainly constructed of stone and timber resources acquired from surrounding locales, and most remain standing at this time.
During World War II (WWII), Camp Ritchie was leased by the U.S. Army and utilized as the War Department Military Intelligence Training Center (MITC). The Army constructed 165 buildings on the installation during the WWII era to provide housing and training areas; most of these WWII era buildings are still standing. A total of 20,000 intelligence troops were housed and trained at Camp Ritchie between 1942 and 1945. Some of the training activities included firing of ordnance into the hillsides in the western section of the installation. Thus, much of the wooded portions of the post are impact areas, potentially containing unexploded ordnance (UXO). Acquisition of additional adjacent acreage increased the installation size from 580 to 637.57 acres by 1988. A property acquisition summary is provided in Table 1-3 (USACE, 1993b). On August 18, 1993, 6.36 acres were transferred to the Washington County Sanitary District.
In 1945, the MITC was deactivated, and the State of Maryland re-instituted Camp Ritchie as a National Guard Training Station. In 1948, the Army again acquired control of Fort Ritchie for the purpose of providing

support for the AJCC located at Site R (USACE, 1993a). Support of the AJCC has been the primary mission of Fort Ritchie since the mid-1950s. Additionally, Fort Ritchie provides housing and morale support to Camp David and to the Naval Support Facility in Thurmont, Maryland. Finance and accounting services for the White House Communications Agency, Military Traffic Management Command, and other designated subordinate activities are conducted on the installation. Fort Ritchie is also the lead Federal agency supporting the City of Hagerstown, Maryland, Cooperative Administrative Support Unit initiative.
1.5.3 Tenants
Currently, three tenant agencies operate at Fort Ritchie at a significant level. In general, all of the activities of these tenants are administrative or communications related, and there are no major activities that involve hazardous materials. These agencies and their primary missions are listed in Table 1-4.

1.5.4 Environmental Setting
This section provides a brief description of the environmental setting at Fort Ritchie including topography, geology, hydrogeology, and surface water hydrology.
1.5.4.1 Topography
Fort Ritchie lies within the Blue Ridge District of the Appalachian physiographic province. This district is approximately 3 miles wide and consists of Catoctin and South Mountains and their intervening valleys. Elevations within the Blue Ridge District reach a maximum of 2,145 feet at the peak of Quirauk Mountain.
The terrain is steep and stony on the western (undeveloped) portion of Fort Ritchie and relatively level on the eastern (developed) portion of the installation. Elevations range from 2,050 feet above mean sea level (msl) along the western border of the property to approximately 1,320 feet above msl near the facility's two lakes. The western and southern areas of the installation are rocky, woodland areas (USACE, 1993a).
1.5.4.2 Geology
The soils in the Fort Ritchie area are mainly upland soils, which developed in place from materials weathered from the underlying rock. The Dekalb-Leetonia-Edgemont-Laidig soil association dominates the Fort Ritchie area. This is a shallow soil which extends to bedrock and consists of very stony, moderately coarse-textured to medium-textured soils. Parent materials for these soils are mainly sandstones and quartzites. These soils are strongly to very strongly acidic and are generally nonproductive for agricultural purposes (Slaughter, 1962).
The Catoctin rock formation was formed during the late Precambrian era through volcanic activity that occurred in northern and central Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and eastern West Virginia. The Catoctin
DACA31-94-D-0064 ESPS05-9 March 1998

Section 1.0 Introduction and Summary
Metabasalt is composed of metamorphosed volcanic greenstone, purple slate, and tufaceous rock. This formation is underlain by highly metamorphosed Precambrian granite gneiss and metabasalt, and metamorphosed Cambrian shale and sandstone.
Outcrops of the Catoctin Metabasalt are found within the Fort Ritchie installation. Quartzite outcrops can also be observed on the installation, primarily in the undeveloped western portions of the post. The thickness of the Catoctin Metabasalt and the Precambrian basement rocks ranges over 1,000 feet in Washington County (Slaughter, 1962). The geology in the Fort Ritchie vicinity is characterized by asymmetrical folds and fractures. Rock deformation is greatest along the west flank of South Mountain, where complex fracture systems now exist. Rock cleavage patterns in the immediate area are often at angles to the bedding planes. There are no known or inferred geologic faults in the vicinity of Fort Ritchie. There is no evidence of subsidence, though solution cavities are known to exist.
1.5.4.3 Hydroqeoloqy
The extent and distribution of the fracture within the Catoctin formation, as well as the rock cleavage patterns, strongly influence groundwater movement The Precambrian metabasalt, which underlies the Catoctin formation, is characterized by a low water storage capacity. In general, productive wells in this water province yield 40 to 50 gallons per minute (gpm). The most productive wells in the Catoctin formation, as well as the rock cleavage patterns, strongly influence groundwater movement (Slaughter, 1962). The surficial aquifer at Fort Ritchie is less than 5 feet below the ground surface in some areas. Springs are commonly found on the installation, emerging at points between weathered and fresh strata.
1.5.4.4 Surface Water Hydrology
Fort Ritchie is located within the Potomac River watershed, which constitutes a major tributary to the Chesapeake Bay. Small springs and groundwater seeps are common along the slopes and at the bases of the mountains which surround the installation. The surface water runoff from the post and surrounding area flows into channels, ditches, and culverts at the installation, and collects in Lake Royer and Lake Wastler. These lakes have a combined holding capacity of 79 million gallons of water. Lake Wastler is at a higher elevation and discharges into Lake Royer. Lake Royer discharges into the South Fork of Falls Creek, which flows northwest into Pennsylvania (USACE, 1993a).
Falls Creek empties into the east branch of Antietam Creek, which turns south and reenters Maryland. Antietam Creek is the largest freshwater stream in the Fort Ritchie area, with a watershed of approximately 187 square miles. Monthly discharge records for Antietam over a three-year period, collected near Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, indicated an average flow of 1.14 to 1.59 cubic feet per second per square mile (USACE, 1993a).
There is one major complex of wetlands on the installation. This wetland complex consists of the areas immediately adjacent to the freshwater stream which drains into and feeds Lake Royer. Other isolated palustrine wetlands occur throughout the wooded portions of the installation downgradient of numerous unmapped springs.
1.5.4.5 Hazardous Substances and Waste Management Practices
Fort Ritchie is classified as a small quantity hazardous waste generator, USEPA identification number MD8210020758 (USACE, 1993a). Permitted activities at Fort Ritchie that are regulated under the provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) include storage and use of hazardous substances, and generation, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes.
Hazardous substances used at Fort Ritchie include solvents, petroleum products, flammable liquids, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. Hazardous substances are stored and/or used in approximately 26 buildings throughout the installation. As a small quantity generator, Fort Ritchie is not permitted to store hazardous wastes for long-term periods. Management of hazardous substances at Fort Ritchie has historically focused on utilizing as much of the hazardous item as possible, then transporting unusable or unwanted portions to an off-site treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF). Table 1-5 outlines the current hazardous waste generating activities at Fort Ritchie.
DACA31-94-D-0064 1"9 Fort Ritchie Base Realignment and Closure ESPS05-9 (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP), Version II March 1998 Final Document
Section 1.0 Introduction and Summary
Table 1-6 identifies the historical hazardous substance activities conducted at Fort Ritchie by type of operation. Figure 1-2 identifies the current location of USTs and above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) at Fort Ritchie. Figure 1-3 identifies the various locations where historical hazardous substance activities have occurred.
1.6 OFF-POST PROPERTIES
There are currently no off-post properties owned by Fort Ritchie. Although Fort Ritchie does not own any off-post property, Fort Ritchie provides support to three off-post properties that are operated by the AJCC (Site R, Site C, and Site D). Site R and Site D are owned by AJCC and Site C is leased land. Site R is an underground communication facility in southern Adams County, Pennsylvania. Site C is a microwave terminal and relay station adjacent to Fort Ritchie on Quirank Mountain, and Site D is a microwave relay station in Damascus, Maryland. These properties are not part of the Fort Ritchie property to be closed under the BRAC program and will only be discussed further in this document in terms of tenant operations.
1.7 ADJACENT PROPERTIES
Fort Ritchie is located in a mountainous area within a rural-residential setting in the southwest corner of the town of Cascade in Washington County. Three other small townships, Highfield, Pennersville, and Blue Ridge Summit, are located within 1 mile northeast of the installation. Cascade is an older retirement resort area with no industrial activities and limited commercial activities. Single-family homes are situated along Ritchie Road on the southwestern border of the installation. Several parks and natural areas are in close proximity to the installation, including South Mountain State Park, Catoctin Mountain National Park, Cunningham Falls State Park, and Michaux State Park in Pennsylvania. Figure 1-4 shows the surrounding land use for Fort Ritchie.
Washington County contains nine municipalities and had a total population of 85,948 in 1995. The total population of the county is expected to approach 100,000 by the year 2020 (Economic Development Commission, 1995). The largest population center in Washington County, approximately 20 miles southwest of Fort Ritchie, is the city of Hagerstown with a population of 35,445 residents in 1995.

2.0 PROPERTY DISPOSAL AND REUSE PLAN
This chapter describes the status of the disposal planning process (redevelopment plan) for Fort Ritchie and the relationship between the disposal process and environmental programs at the installation. It also identifies property transfer methods being utilized or considered in the disposal process.
2.1 STATUS OF DISPOSAL AND REUSE (REDEVELOPMENT) PLAN
The Fort Ritchie Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) Executive Council, created by the Washington County Commissioners, has been tasked with the responsibility of developing a reuse plan that will provide an orderly transition of the installation personal property and facilities to uses that support local goals for economic and community development. The LRA Executive Council consists of local businesses and community leaders which ensure community involvement.
In 1996, the LRA established a conceptual redevelopment plan as a vehicle to provide overall guidance toward achieving the following goals:
1. Replacing job losses caused by installation closure;
2. Providing the first step toward long-term economic stability for the area; and
3. Focusing on broadening the tax base in Washington County.
The objective of this plan is to focus on broad generic areas of reuse that will be refined and reviewed in detail throughout the redevelopment process. The conceptual redevelopment plan is shown in Figure 2-1. This plan has allowed the LRA to move forward on the long range strategic plan while ensuring that near term tactical opportunities that fit within overall broad based long-term objectives, have not been lost.
The LRA recently (1997) prepared a Comprehensive Redevelopment Plan for Fort Ritchie. As part of this process, an analysis of the physical assets of the existing facility and market opportunities, has been conducted. Based upon this analysis, the property has been divided into four districts: the Original Core, Central Flats, North Slope, and Valley Edge. These four districts have been further divided into 17 parcels as represented in Figure 2-2 and Table 2-1. Five potential land uses were considered: industrial, office, conference and training, retail, and residential (LRA, 1997).
Alternatives were developed and further evaluated based on the following criteria:
1. Economic benefit to the community in terms of new jobs and property taxes;
2. Amount of capital investment required to prepare the site and buildings; and
3. Net revenues that would accrue.
As a result of this evaluation, the preferred plan proposes the development of a high technology office/R&D, corporate conference and training campus to be called the Lakeside Corporate Center at Pen Mar. The 20 year and long-term plans are presented as Figures 2-3 and 2-4. Further detail is available in the LRA's Comprehensive Redevelopment Plan (LRA, 1997). The Strategic Planning Committee will continue the process of reviewing community input, the needs of the homeless, and the greater needs of economic development to offset the impact of Fort Ritchie closure.
2.2 RELATIONSHIP TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS
Disposal and reuse activities at Fort Ritchie are intimately linked to environmental investigations, restoration, and compliance activities for two basic reasons:
• Federal property transfers to nonfederal parties are governed by CERCLA Section 120(h)(3)(B)(i);and
• Residual contamination may remain on certain properties after RAs have been completed or put into place, thereby restricting the future use of those properties.

Section 2.0 Property Disposal and Reuse Plan
A 1992 CERFA amendment to CERCLA Section 120(h)(3)(B)(i) defines when "all RA has been taken" based on two conditions. First, the construction and installation of an approved remedial design must be complete. Second, the remedy must be demonstrated to the Administrator to be operating properly and successfully. The amendment further states that implementation of long-term pumping and treating, or operation and maintenance, after the remedy has been demonstrated to the regulatory agencies [MDE/USEPA] to be operating properly and successfully, does not preclude the transfer of the property. This deed requirement applies only to property on which a hazardous substance was stored for one year or more, or is known to have been disposed of or released. Thus, any required remedial and/or removal response actions must be selected and implemented for such contaminated properties before transfers to private parties can occur.
At Fort Ritchie, a non-National Priorities List (NPL) facility, the State is the lead regulatory authority and will be responsible for regulatory approval of the remedial design. The requirement for complying with CERCLA 120(h) and the possibility of residual contamination will be factored into the property disposal and reuse process at Fort Ritchie.
2.3 PROPERTY TRANSFER METHODS
The various property transfer methods being utilized or considered in the disposal process at Fort Ritchie are described in this section. Transfer methods which may not be currently applicable but which may be considered in future disposal planning actions at the installation have also been identified.
2.3.1 Federal Transfer of Property
Transfer actions between Federal agencies are not applicable at Fort Ritchie.
2.3.2 Economic Development Conveyance
The Fort Ritchie property will be transferred to the Pen Mar Development Corporation (PMDC) as an Economic Development Conveyance (EDC). This is a method of transferring real property to a LRA to help spur local economic development and job creation. An EDC may be with or without initial payment at the time of transfer, and may be at or below the estimated fair market value of the property.
2.3.3 Negotiated Sale
After transfer to the PMDC, a negotiated sale could take place at Fort Ritchie.
2.3.4 Competitive Public Sale
After transfer to the PMDC, competitive public sales could take place at Fort Ritchie.
2.3.5 Widening of Public Highways
There is no indication at this time that any property at Fort Ritchie will be transferred for the widening of public highways.
2.3.6 Donated Property
There is no indication at this time that any property at Fort Ritchie will be donated.
2.3.7 Interim Leases
Currently, the only interim lease at Fort Ritchie includes five buildings leased by the PMDC. The PMDC is responsible for subletting these buildings, including the space intended for the International Masonry Institute (IMI). After transfer of the Fort Ritchie property to the PMDC, all lease agreements and land negotiations will be conducted by the PMDC. Table 2-2 identifies the grantee, property/facility, effective date, and termination date of each current interim lease agreement.
2.3.8 Other Property Transfer Methods
There are no other property transfer methods identified for Fort Ritchie at this time.

3.0 INSTALLATION-WIDE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM STATUS
This section provides a summary of the current status of environmental restoration projects, installation- wide assessment activities, ongoing compliance activities, cultural and natural resources programs, and community involvement at Fort Ritchie. This section also describes the environmental condition and suitability for transfer of the property.
3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM STATUS
The Environmental Management Division (EMD) of Fort Ritchie manages and coordinates all environmental programs on the installation. The goal of these environmental programs is to protect human health and the environment.
3.1.1 Restoration Sites
Limited restoration activities have occurred at Fort Ritchie. To date, restoration activities include removal of contaminated soil at the Former Skeet Shooting Range and the Post Exchange (PX) Auto Service Station. The status of early actions that have been taken at these sites are summarized in Table 3-1. The location of these sites are identified in Figure 3-1.
3.1.2 Installation-Wide Source Discovery and Assessment Status
An EBS of Fort Ritchie was conducted in 1995. The results of the survey are summarized in the EBS Report and the CERFA Letter Report (an appendix of the EBS Report). The final versions were issued in June 1996. The EBS Report summarizes the status of Fort Ritchie's environmental programs, and the CERFA Letter Report summarizes the areas that were identified in the EBS Report as requiring environmental evaluation. Additional information regarding the CERFA parcels is presented in Section 3.4. Table 3-2 lists the AREEs identified in the EBS as having potential sources of contamination.
In support of the BRAC environmental restoration program, an environmental Site Investigation (SI) was initiated in late 1996, to determine whether there have been releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants to the AREEs identified in the EBS. The results of the investigation will be used by the Army, in consultation with the regulators, to decide which areas or operable units (OUs) will proceed to cleanup action or will be removed from further investigation to allow for transfer and reuse. Figure 3-2 illustrates the 16 OUs identified for environmental investigation:
OU1 - Golf Course Maintenance Shop;
OU2 - Former Incinerator Area;
OU3 - Lake Royer and Lake Wastler;
OU4 - Motor Pool;
OU5 - Department of Public Works (DPW) Maintenance Equipment Area;
OU6 - Autocraft Shop;
OU7 - Abandoned Firing Ranges;
OU8 - PX Auto Service Station;
OU9 - Administration Building Area;
OU10 - Wise Road Disposal Area;
OU11 - Wetland Area;
OU12 - Former Hospital Area;
OU13 - Ordnance and Explosives/Unexploded Ordnance (OE/UXO) Impact Areas;
OU14 - Former Burn Area;
OU15 - Reservoir Road Disposal Area; and
OU16 - Electrical Substation.

Section 3.0 Installation-Wide Environmental Program Status
All of the OUs were identified for chemical sampling and analysis except for OU13, where an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) sampling program has been initiated. Due to the nature of the investigation work, OU13 is being addressed as a separate investigation.
Initial field activities were conducted at OUs 1 through 12 between October 1996 and January 1997. A baseline risk assessment was performed, based on the initial sampling data, to characterize the toxicity and potential effects on human health and ecological receptors associated with any hazardous substances present at Fort Ritchie. Based on the results of the risk assessment and planned future land use, recommendations were made for each OU. A summary of the SI findings to date and preliminary recommendations are presented in Table 3-3. Additional investigation at OU1, OU4, OU5, OU13, OU14, OU15, and OU16 is planned for Spring 1998 (ICF KE, 1998).
3.2 COMPLIANCE PROGRAM STATUS
The Fort Ritchie EMD maintains several environmental compliance programs for the installation. Currently, only mission- and operational-related compliance projects are being conducted at Fort Ritchie. Mission- and operational-related projects are those which have been or would be conducted for the normal operation of the installation. These projects are unrelated to activities necessitated by the installation closure under BRAC. General compliance activities address the management of USTs, ASTs, hazardous materials and waste, solid waste, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, radon, water discharges, oil/water separators, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing, pollution prevention, mixed waste, radiation, lead-based paint (LBP), UXO, and medical waste. These compliance programs are identified in Table 3-4 and detailed in the following sections.
Closure-related compliance projects are those conducted specifically as a result of environmental compliance and restoration activities related to BRAC closure and property disposal. Closure-related compliance projects for Fort Ritchie are listed in Table 3-5.
A number of compliance-related activities at Fort Ritchie have been completed as part of the installation's compliance program to remove contamination sources and reduce risk posed by releases or potential releases. These actions include asbestos abatement, PCB removal, and UST removal and replacement. These early actions are identified in Table 3-6.
3.2.1 Storage Tanks
USTs and ASTs have historically been and are currently utilized for the storage of petroleum products and waste at Fort Ritchie. Compliance activities and environmental restoration activities related to these storage tanks are described in the following subsections.
3.2.1.1 Underground Storage Tanks
The USEPA has delegated the management of the UST program to the State of Maryland. MDE has primary enforcement responsibility, and USEPA's approval effectively suspends the applicability of certain Federal regulations in favor of MDE's program, thereby eliminating duplicative requirements. Therefore, UST closure and investigation activities at Fort Ritchie have been conducted under the Maryland UST program.
Approximately 300 USTs, primarily containing No. 2 Fuel Oil, have been documented to exist at one time or another on the Fort Ritchie property according to UST Action Plan summaries. Numerous tanks have been replaced, removed, and/or abandoned throughout the history of the site. As of March 1998, 73 USTs are currently in use at the installation. All existing tanks are registered with the State of Maryland. The original single-walled, steel tanks were replaced by double-walled, fiberglass tanks. All UST removal and RAs implemented at Fort Ritchie since the 1980s were supervised and approved by MDE. Table 3-7 provides an inventory of USTs currently existing at Fort Ritchie.

Between 1989 and 1990, a complete regulation assessment of USTs at the installation was conducted. Based on this assessment, an installation-wide removal/replacement action was implemented. From 1991 to 1992, 59 USTs containing No. 2 Fuel Oil were removed from the 400 housing area. Overall, a total of 186 housing USTs were removed from the post between 1991 and 1995.
During the implementation of the installation-wide removal/replacement action, approximately 12% of all regulated, unregulated, and position quarters housing area tanks required RAs. Spill events were recorded from two tanks at housing unit 486 and from the tank at unit 724. Both incidents were leaks, and sorbents were used to clean up the spilled material. In addition, RAs included soil sampling and the installation of monitoring wells.
Between 1991 and 1995, 85 USTs were excavated and two USTs (in Bldgs 327 and 360) were abandoned in place in the administrative area of Fort Ritchie. Of these tanks, 70 were replaced with new tanks, and four of these replaced tanks were later removed. Two-thirds of all USTs identified as administration tanks indicated a release of petroleum product and required remediation. Spills occurred and were remediated at the Golf Course Maintenance Shop (Building 5), the Service Station (Building 515), and the Motor Pool (Building 700).
3.2.1.2 Above-ground Storage Tanks
AST compliance programs at Fort Ritchie are conducted under U.S. Army Regulation (AR) 200-1 and the Federal requirements including Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 110, 112, and 116. A total of seven ASTs are known to have been on the installation at one time or another. Three ASTs have since been removed. One AST was removed in 1986 from Building 502, the old Fire Station, and one AST was removed in 1993 from Building 101. One AST was also removed from Building 605, the old service station; the time of removal is not known. There are currently four remaining ASTs. Two ASTs at the Auto Craft Shop (Building 401) contain waste oil and waste antifreeze, and two ASTs in the DPW maintenance

3.2.2 Hazardous Materials/Waste Management
Hazardous waste compliance programs at Fort Ritchie are conducted under AR 200-1; the Federal requirements found in 40 CFR 260 through 269, 40 CFR 117, and 40 CFR 171 et seq.; Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations; and the Maryland hazardous waste management regulations. Hazardous wastes currently generated on site are managed in accordance with all applicable State and Federal regulations.
Fort Ritchie is classified as a small-quantity hazardous waste generator, USEPA identification number MD8210020758 (USACE, 1993a). Activities at Fort Ritchie that are regulated under the provisions of RCRA include storage and use of hazardous substances, and generation, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Hazardous substances used at Fort Ritchie include solvents, petroleum products, flammable liquids, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides.
A total of 13 hazardous substance spills occurred from April 1993 through March 1998. Types of substances spilled include No. 2 Fuel Oil, waste oil, diesel fuel, and hydraulic fluid. In each case, the quantities that were released were relatively small (0.5 to 310 gallons), and actions were taken in accordance with the Fort Ritchie Installation Spill Contingency Plan to minimize the extent of environmental release of the spilled substance. Several spills also occurred before 1993.
3.2.2.1 Hazardous Material Management
Hazardous substances are stored and/or used in approximately 26 buildings throughout the installation. As a small-quantity generator, Fort Ritchie is not permitted to store hazardous wastes for long-term periods. Management of hazardous substances at Fort Ritchie has historically focused on utilizing as much of the hazardous item as possible, then transporting unusable or unwanted portions to an off-site TSDF.
3.2.2.2 Hazardous Waste Management
Disposal of the majority of hazardous wastes generated at Fort Ritchie is handled under a shipping contract administered by the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO). Limited quantities of non- hazardous chemical solutions used in photographic processing are disposed of in the sanitary sewer system. Hazardous wastes generated at Fort Ritchie are collected and temporarily stored at two hazardous waste sheds at Building 837. This location serves as a redistribution center and as the pick-up location for hazardous items that become classified as waste. Prior to 1989, hazardous substances were collected for shipment on pallets in Building 700. Containerized wastes are shipped to various TSDFs.

Solid waste management compliance programs at Fort Ritchie are conducted under AR 200-1 and 420-47; Federal requirements found in 40 CFR 240 through 246 and 40 CFR 257 through 258; DOT regulations; and Maryland solid waste management regulations. Solid wastes currently being generated at Fort Ritchie are managed in accordance with all applicable State and Federal regulations. Fort Ritchie does not have a permitted landfill on site. Non-recycled, non-hazardous solid waste is hauled off the site to the Washington Township, Pennsylvania, transfer station. The transfer station is operated by a private contractor who then transports wastes to a State-sanctioned landfill in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. In 1996, 19,082 cubic yards of solid waste were generated. The installation estimates that it currently generates about 100 tons of refuse per month in regular household waste (i.e., paper, plastics, glass, metal, food, office supplies, yard and grounds waste).
In the past, on-site incinerators were used to dispose of solid waste. The original stone incinerator, Building 907, was constructed in the 1930s and operated into the 1940s. Typical solid wastes, including small quantities of miscellaneous chemicals, were placed directly into the incinerator and burned. Ash was deposited in two areas, one along Wise Road and the other near the former Skeet Range. A new replacement incinerator, Building 908, was constructed in the 1950s and had a capacity of 3,500 pounds (lbs)/hr. No. 2 Fuel Oil stored in a 275-gallon AST was used as startup fuel for this incinerator. During operation, approximately 2,000 gallons of No. 2 Fuel Oil were used monthly. In 1973, the incinerator was retrofitted with an air pollution control device which had maintenance problems. As a result, the burner was shut down shortly thereafter.
Fort Ritchie owned and operated a wastewater treatment facility until August 31, 1993, when ownership and operations were transferred to Washington County. Digested sewage sludge from this facility was disposed of under an MDE permit in the Washington County Sanitary Landfill.
3.2.4 Polychlorinated Biphenyls
PCB management compliance programs at Fort Ritchie are conducted under AR 200-1; Federal requirements found in 40 CFR 761; and DOT regulations. Disposal of PCB-containing material associated with Fort Ritchie activities is managed through the DRMO.
A site inspection was conducted by MDE in 1989 to document PCB-containing equipment. Seven known nameplate PCB-containing transformers were identified during this investigation and subsequently removed and disposed. Capacitors, hydraulic equipment, heat transfer equipment, and electromagnets were checked for PCB-containing materials; however, PCBs were not found in any of these items.
All 242 transformers at Fort Ritchie have been tested for the presence of PCBs. Eleven transformers were found to contain PCBs and have been disposed of according to TSCA requirements.
3.2.5 Asbestos
Asbestos-containing material (ACM) is regulated by USEPA, OSHA, and MDE. Asbestos at Fort Ritchie is managed in compliance with the U.S. Army guidance Lead-Based Paint and Asbestos in U.S. Army Properties Affected by Base Realignment and Closure.
A post-wide asbestos survey of Fort Ritchie was conducted by Dewberry & Davis to identify the presence of ACMs and to recommend appropriate abatement actions. An Asbestos Users Guide and Management Plan was developed in September 1993, based on the findings of the survey. ACMs were identified, located, and quantified. All buildings at Fort Ritchie that were built after 1980 were assumed to be asbestos-free.
Remedial actions have been implemented in conjunction with building demolition and in several other instances to mitigate exposure to asbestos. In 1992, asbestos was removed from two buildings. In 1993, ACMs were removed and disposed of in conjunction with the demolition of seven WWII-era buildings. The mechanical rooms of all housing units were insulated with non-ACMs when new furnaces were installed. There are no plans at this time to remove ACMs from other buildings since the ACMs are non-friable or in

Section 3.0 Installation-Wide Environmental Program Status
good condition. ACMs will continue to be maintained in good condition through Fort Ritchie's operations and maintenance (O&M) program.
3.2.6 Radon
The radon reduction program at Fort Ritchie is conducted under AR 200-1, Chapter 11, U.S. Army Radon Reduction Program. Radon testing of Fort Ritchie was conducted in Fall 1989, and radon was not found to exceed acceptable levels in any test location on the installation.
3.2.7 RCRA Facilities (Solid Waste Management Units)
Fort Ritchie does not have any RCRA facilities.
3.2.8 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits
Point source wastewater discharges generated at Fort Ritchie are regulated under AR 200-1; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act; the Clean Water Act (CWA); the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program (40 CFR 122, 125, and 136); National Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR 403); and Maryland regulations.
Fort Ritchie currently has two permitted surface water discharge points. One is located at the Water Treatment Plant (Building 835), and the other point is the oil/water separator at the Motor Pool (Building 700). These outfalls are permitted to discharge into Lake Royer and Lake Wastler under NPDES permit MD-0003221 and State of Maryland discharge permit 91-DP-2516.
Through the Department of the Army application process, Fort Ritchie has submitted an application to acquire an installation-wide stormwater permit. All applicable contracts at the installation include appropriate erosion and sediment control plans (USACE, 1993a).
3.2.9 Oil/Water Separators
Oil/water separators at Fort Ritchie are managed under the Installation Spill Contingency Plan and in accordance with applicable Federal regulations including the CWA 313(a); 40 CFR 110, 112, and 122; DoD directives; and AR 200-1.
Five oil-water separator units currently exist at the installation. Four of the units, located at the Auto Craft Shop (Building 401), the Vehicle Wash Rack (Building 731), the PX Gas Station (Building 515), and the Fire Station (Building 519), discharge into the sanitary sewer system. Effluents are treated prior to release to a surface water body; thus, no NPDES permits are required for these units. One oil/water separator located at the Motor Pool (Building 700) discharges to the lake, and an NPDES permit exists for this outfall.
3.2.10 Lead-Based Paint
Three reports document the main testing efforts for LBP at Fort Ritchie. A test conducted in 1991 involved 30 representative housing units, some random playground equipment, and a few shed doors behind the housing units. Another effort in 1994 tested 22 miscellaneous administration buildings. A detailed X-ray fluorescence (XRF) testing of all child care facilities was performed in 1995 due to the greater potential risk posed to young children. Some positive results were found in all three investigations. All three testing efforts recommended further analysis in order to determine which building components should be focused on for an effective LBP abatement effort if an abatement effort was undertaken. All structures constructed before 1978 are presumed to contain LBP. LBP removal and encapsulation for 11 buildings were initiated in July 1995. LBP management and education are currently part of Fort Ritchie's LBP mitigation efforts.
3.2.11 Unexploded Ordnance
The presence of UXO in an area of the installation designated as the impact area and the area of the new PX and Commissary, has been verified by installation personnel, records (i.e., USACE, 1997), construction and demolition activities, and visual inspections. The impact area was the site of WWII outdoor readiness training

activities. An EE/CA investigation is currently being conducted to determine the extent of UXO in this area (OU13).
3.2.12 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Licensing
Fort Ritchie has four NRC licenses for various equipment and devices that contain radionuclides and are used by the 572nd Military Police Company. These equipment and devices will continue to be managed appropriately until closure when they will be removed properly.
3.2.13 Pollution Prevention
Pollution prevention at Fort Ritchie is managed in accordance with Chapter 6 of AR 200-1 and applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements. Pollution prevention activities at Fort Ritchie include waste minimization and recycling. Pollution prevention activities will continue to be implemented as appropriate until closure.
3.2.14 Mixed Waste
No mixed waste is generated at Fort Ritchie.
3.2.15 Radiation
In 1990, the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA), now the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine (USACHPPM), reviewed Fort Ritchie's environmental radiation protection program. USAEHA also conducted an industrial radiation survey in 1991. Safety and protection policies and procedures concerning operational and personnel movement limitations to limit exposure, were developed from inspection reports and will continue to be followed until closure.
3.2.16 National Environmental Policy Act
Environmental program status of the property has not been determined pursuant to NEPA at this time.
3.2.17 Medical Waste
Medical waste is generated from the Health Clinic (Building 341) and the Dental Clinic (Building 332). Medical waste is collected separately and stored in a special dumpster outside Building 341. The waste is periodically removed from Fort Ritchie by a specialty contractor.
3.2.18 Air Permits
Fort Ritchie does not have an air permit because there are no major air emission sources at Fort Ritchie.
3.3 STATUS OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES PROGRAMS
This section presents the current status of the natural and cultural resources programs at Fort Ritchie. These programs include the identification and management of sensitive environments; vegetation, wildlife, and wetlands; rare, threatened, and endangered species; and cultural resources. Natural and cultural resources at Fort Ritchie are managed in accordance with AR 420-74 and 420-40; DoD Directive 4700.4 and 4710.1; and applicable Federal and State regulations and statutes.
3.3.1 Sensitive Environments
Fort Ritchie is surrounded by wooded and residential areas with limited commercial activity. Thus, woodlands and agricultural environments are predominant in the Fort Ritchie area. The woodlands are dominated by deciduous tree species, including oak (Quercus spp.), hickory {Carya spp.), maple (Acer spp.), tulip poplar (Lirieodendron spp.), and black gum (Nyssa spp.). Due to the history of agricultural land use in the Fort Ritchie vicinity, no old-growth forest habitat is likely to occur.
Surveys of natural and cultural resources on the Fort Ritchie installation have recently been conducted. These survey efforts include an inventory of vascular plants and vertebrates, a jurisdictional wetland

Section 3.0 Installation-Wide Environmental Program Status
delineation, and a comprehensive investigation of historic and archaeological sites that are located on the installation. Preliminary findings from these investigations indicate that there are several sensitive environments on the installation.
3.3.2 Vegetation
Staff from the Center for Ecological Management of Military Lands (CEMML) of Colorado State University conducted an installation-wide survey of vascular plants. Initial data collection for this survey began in 1993, and field efforts were completed in 1995. The report of findings for this field effort included descriptions of methodologies and findings. Data collected during field efforts included the identification of species, relative abundance of species, habitat descriptions, and determination of species status. Forest stand delineations were also conducted at Fort Ritchie. These delineations intended to identify sections of wooded areas that were suitable for forest management, based on species composition, age, and size classes. Results of the vascular plant survey, forest stand delineations, and recent aerial photos were used to create a vegetation map of the installation.
3.3.3 Wildlife
There are several protected wildlife areas in close proximity to Fort Ritchie, including South Mountain State Park, Catoctin Mountain National Park, Cunningham Falls State Park, and Michaux State Park. These areas support a variety of wildlife, including black bear (Ursus americanus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), red fox (Vulpes), Eastern cottontail (Sylvaligus floridanus), and others. The Fort Ritchie area is located along the western periphery of the Atlantic flyway used by migrating waterfowl, waterbirds, and neotropical migrants.
Baseline surveys of terrestrial invertebrates/vertebrates, including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, dwelling at the Fort Ritchie installation, were conducted by Shippensburg University from May through October 1994 (Shippensburg, 1995). The species of birds utilizing Fort Ritchie habitats were determined through observations made along 24 transects which were established in four major habitat types found on the installation. Mammals were surveyed using traplines that were set up at 33 sampling stations. Four days of surveying were devoted to searching for amphibians and reptiles under rocks and fallen logs. Results of the survey efforts included a list of species, determination of species status, and limited wildlife resource management recommendations.
3.3.4 Wetlands and Flood Plains
An installation-wide survey and delineation of jurisdictional wetlands was conducted in April 1992. Jurisdictional wetlands were determined through methodologies outlined in the 1987 version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. A final report of findings from the wetland delineation field efforts was prepared and submitted in July 1992. Results of the delineation efforts indicated that there is one major complex of wetlands on the installation. This wetland complex consists of the areas immediately adjacent to a freshwater stream which drains into Lake Royer. Other isolated palustrine wetlands probably occur throughout the wooded portions of the installation downgradient of numerous unmapped springs. The locations of wetlands at Fort Ritchie are shown in Figure 3-3.
3.3.5 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species
Identification of rare, threatened, and endangered species at Fort Ritchie was accomplished through the use of both wildlife and vascular plants surveys, described above. The results of these surveys indicated that no Federally-listed endangered species were confirmed on the installation. However, four plant species that are Federally-listed as Category 2 species of concern were confirmed on the installation, and one mammal that is State of Maryland-listed as a species of special concern was confirmed on the site. Additionally, it was determined that the forested stream areas of the installation constitute excellent potential habitat for one Federally-listed candidate mammal species, the smoky shrew (Sorex fumeus). There are no resident endangered species in the area, although bald eagles (Haliaeotus leucocephalus), listed as Federally threatened, have been sighted in the area.

3.3.6 Cultural Resources
A final report on the review of all pertinent historical documentation and field surveys for cultural and historical resources was submitted by Dames & Moore in August 1995. An archeological resource sensitivity model was developed for Fort Ritchie during this investigation to assist in predicting the locations of unrecorded archeological sites. The findings from this investigation along with the application of the sensitivity model indicated that there are two archeological sites at the southwest end of Lake Royer. These sites have been determined to be of no archeological significance. It is not anticipated that additional sites will be found on the installation due to the high degree of disturbance that has occurred in the portions of the installation that are most likely to contain archeological sites.
A historic district has been designated at Fort Ritchie. This district was designed to account for all of the structures and sites associated with the development of Fort Ritchie from 1926 to 1945. Recommendations from cultural resources studies include application for inclusion of the Fort Ritchie Historic District in the National Historic Register.
3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF PROPERTY
In October 1992, Public Law 102-426 (CERFA) amended Section 120(h) of CERCLA and established new requirements with respect to contamination assessment, cleanup, and regulatory agency notification/ concurrence for Federal facility closures. CERFA requires the Federal government, prior to termination of Federal activities of real property, to identify property where no hazardous substances were stored, released, or disposed. The primary objective of CERFA is for Federal agencies to expeditiously identify real property offering the greatest opportunity for immediate reuse and redevelopment. Although CERFA does not mandate the U.S. Army to transfer real property so identified, the first step in satisfying the objective is the requirement to identify real property where no CERCLA-regulated hazardous substances or petroleum products were stored, released, or disposed.
The environmental condition of the Fort Ritchie property is provided in Figure 3-4. This map is based on the CERFA Letter Report (ICF KE, 1996b), but has been updated to include information collected during the SI (ICF KE, 1997b). Parcel descriptions are included in Table 3-9 and column 3 of Table 3-3 refers to CERFA parcels presented in Figure 3-4. Fort Ritchie was parcelized based on seven categories of environmental conditions. The following subsections describe each category of environmental condition and list the areas of Fort Ritchie which fall under each category. The eighth subsection lists parcels which are suitable to transfer. The definitions of the parcel categories have been revised based on updated BRAC guidance (DoD, 1996).
3.4.1 Category 1: Areas Where No Release or Disposal (Including Migration) of Hazardous Substances or Petroleum Products has Occurred
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where the results of investigations show that no hazardous substances or petroleum products were released into the environment or site structures, or disposed of on site property (including no migration of these substances from adjacent areas). This area type is color-coded white in Figure 3-4. A determination of this area type cannot be made, however, unless a minimum level of information gathering and assessment has been completed. In accordance with Section 120(h)(4) of CERCLA as amended by CERFA, all such determinations (i.e., "uncontaminated") of this area type must be made on the basis of: a records search of the area in question and adjacent property; a review of the chain of title documents for the area; a review of aerial photographs of the area; a visual inspection of the area and adjacent property; and interviews with current and former employees regarding their knowledge of past and current activities on the property. These efforts can be functionally accomplished via an EBS or properly scoped Preliminary Assessment of the property in question. If information gathered from these efforts indicates that hazardous substances or petroleum products have been released, disposed of, or stored in the area, the geographic location becomes one of the other area types.

3.4.2 Category 2: Areas Where Only Release or Disposal of Petroleum Products has Occurred
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where the results of investigations show only the release or disposal of petroleum products has occurred. This area type is color- coded blue in Figure 3-4. A determination of this area type must be made in accordance with the same requirements in Section 120(h)(4) of CERCLA as listed in the above paragraph.
3.4.3 Category 3: Areas Where Release, Disposal, and/or Migration of Hazardous Substances has Occurred but Require No Remedial Action
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where environmental evidence demonstrates that hazardous substances have been released or disposed, but are present at concentrations that require no response action to protect human health and the environment. This area type is color-coded light green in Figure 3-4.
It should be noted that the designation of a Category 3 area cannot be made with confidence unless a minimum level of information gathering and assessment has been completed. As such, all determinations

should be made on the basis of a Site Inspection, or equivalent level of effort, which includes biased field sampling and laboratory analysis to support a conceptual understanding of the area.
3.4.4 Category 4: Areas Where Release, Disposal, and/or Migration of Hazardous Substances has Occurred and All Remedial Actions Have Been Taken
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where all RAs necessary to protect human health and the environment have been conducted. This area type is color-coded dark green in Figure 3-4. Category 4 areas include those areas in which an EBS report documents that hazardous substances are known to have been released or disposed of on the property, but all RAs necessary to protect human health and the environment, with respect to any hazardous substances remaining on the property, have already been taken to meet the provisions of CERCLA Section 120(h)(3). Clarification of the meaning of "all remedial action has been taken" is found in Section 12(h)(4)(B)(i) of CERCLA. BRAC Cleanup Teams preparing suitability of property for transfer maps should be aware that "all remedial action has been taken" means that the construction and installation of an approved remedial design has been completed and that the remedy has been demonstrated to USEPA to be operating properly and successfully (in practice, usually a year).
3.4.5 Category 5: Areas Where Release, Disposal and/or Migration of Hazardous Substances has Occurred and Action is Underway but Not Final
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where the presence of sources or releases of hazardous substances is confirmed based on the results of sampling and analysis available in electronic databases and/or environmental restoration and compliance reports. This area type is color-coded yellow in Figure 3-4. By definition, this area type contains contaminant concentrations above action levels. Such concentrations do not meet the criteria that would allow a determination of a Category 3 area. Remedial systems for Category 5 areas are partially or entirely in place but have not been fully demonstrated.
3.4.6 Category 6: Areas Where Release, Disposal, and/or Migration of Hazardous Substances has Occurred, but Required Response Actions Have Not Been Taken
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where the presence of sources or releases of hazardous substances is confirmed based on the results of sampling and analysis as contained in electronic databases and/or environmental restoration and compliance reports. This area type is color-coded red in Figure 3-4. This area type contains concentrations of contaminants above action levels. Such concentrations do not meet the criteria that would allow a determination of a Category 3 area. Additionally, required remedial systems have not been selected or implemented.
3.4.7 Category 7: Areas that are Not Evaluated or Require Additional Evaluation
This area type is defined as a geographically contiguous and mappable area where the presence of sources or releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products (including derivatives) is suspected, but not well characterized, based on the results of a properly scoped records search, chain of title review, aerial photography review, visual inspection, set of employee interviews, and possibly sampling and analysis. This area type is color-coded gray in Figure 3-4. They do not, with certainty, fit any of the previous area types because evaluation efforts have not occurred, are ongoing, or are inconclusive.
3.4.8 Suitability of Installation Property for Transfer by Deed
SARA Title I, Section 120 of CERCLA requires that any deed for transferred Federal property, on which any hazardous substance was:
• stored for one year or more;
• known to have been released; or
• known to have been disposed of;
contain, to the extent that such information is available based on a complete search of agency files, the following information:
DACA31-94-D-0064 3"27 Fort Ritchie Base Realignment and Closure ESPS05-9 (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP), Version II March 1998 Final Document
Section 3.0 Installation-Wide Environmental Program Status
• A notice of the type and quantity of such hazardous substances;
• A notice of the time at which such storage, release, or disposal took place;
• A description of the RA taken, if any; and
• A covenant warranting that all RAs necessary to protect human health and the environment with respect to any such substance remaining on the property have been taken before the date of such transfer, and any additional RAs found to be necessary after the date of such transfer shall be conducted.
The U.S. Army has begun the identification of property suitable for transfer under CERCLA through the CERFA identification process. The CERFA process is a screening mechanism to identify those properties immediately transferable. Properties identified as immediately transferable have had no activities which could potentially preclude them from transfer under CERCLA. A number of parcels at Fort Ritchie have been identified as suitable to transfer (Figure 3-5). However, the potential presence of UXO precludes the transfer of the remaining parcels identified based on CERFA guidelines as suitable for transfer (classified as Categories 1 to 4 on Figure 3-4). As the OE/UXO study continues, pending BCT approval, additional parcels at Fort Ritchie are expected to become transferable.
3.5 STATUS OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Information regarding the following community relations activities that have taken place at Fort Ritchie is available through the BCT:
• Information Repositories - Information repositories on the Fort Ritchie BRAC have been set up at the Blue Ridge Summit and Washington County Libraries;
• Administrative Record;
• Community Relations Plan;
• Restoration Advisory Board - A Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) consists of twenty-four members including twenty-one community members, the BEC, and the USEPA and MDE representatives. The RAB has held meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month since February 28,1996;

4.0 INSTALLATION-WIDE STRATEGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION
This chapter describes and summarizes the installation-wide environmental restoration and compliance strategy for Fort Ritchie. With the closure announcement, the installation's strategy shifted from supporting an active U.S. Army mission to responding to disposal and reuse considerations. Accordingly, an EBS has been conducted and a SI has been initiated. The strategy for determining the most effective response mechanism for contaminant sources and contaminated areas during the early stages of the restoration process at the installation, will be developed on a case-by-case basis by the BCT.
4.1 OPERABLE UNIT DESIGNATION AND STRATEGY
OUs define an installation's remedial strategy. They are derived from an evaluation of hydrogeologic and chemical analytical data within an investigative area, or by comparing data between areas. OU types may be based on geographic area, common media (soil, groundwater, surface water, other), common treatment technology, priorities, or schedules. OUs establish a logical sequence of discussions that address contamination releases in a comprehensive fashion.
4.1.1 Operable Unit Designations
OUs are defined as discrete response actions or steps toward comprehensive environmental restoration and may be further subdivided or integrated where conceptual models of sources, contaminant migration, and receptors indicate the need for delineation of source-control and groundwater response actions. Given this flexibility, and the findings to date, the BCT has defined 16 interim OUs. Table 4-1 depicts the relationship between OUs, reuse parcels, CERFA parcels, and districts.
4.1.2 Sequence of Operable Units
A comprehensive OU strategy has been developed by the Fort Ritchie BCT. This strategy consolidated restoration sites into OUs for investigation, and then defined a logical sequence of addressing all past releases associated with these sites. The site cleanup sequence at Fort Ritchie is summarized in Table 4-2. When developed, Figure 4-1 will identify the timeline for generation of primary documents necessary to complete site cleanup actions. The schedule will be developed using a critical path analysis method.
4.1.3 Environmental Early Actions Strategy
Additional early actions that would accelerate cleanup activities have not been identified at this time. Information regarding additional removal actions, interim RAs, or treatability studies will be provided by the BCT (Table 4-3).
4.1.4 Remedy Selection Approach
Remedies will be selected for the appropriate OUs after adequate characterization of the nature and extent of contamination has been completed. The remedies will be selected in accordance with statutory and National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) criteria. The Fort Ritchie BCT will involve all parties, who have an impact on the actions selected at the installation, in the remedy selection process. Particular attention will be given to the following during the evaluation of alternatives:
• Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs). Applicable requirements for anticipated RAs will be identified by the BCT. The effectiveness of alternatives in reducing concentrations of contaminants below chemical-specific ARARs will be evaluated. Waivers will be considered where treatment to standards is technically impractical;
• Land Use/Risk Assessment. Risk assessment protocols will incorporate future land use in exposure scenarios;

Section 4.0 Installation-Wide Strategy for Environmental Restoration
• Applicable Remedies. The presumptive remedy selection approach advocated in USEPA's 30- day study will be applied in selected cases. Focused Feasibility Studies (FSs) will be developed where appropriate; and
• Future Land Use. Cleanup goals need to be factored into future land use and/or deed restrictions.
The BEC will hold Project Team meetings to discuss conceptual remedies early in the FS process during the initial screening of alternatives (ISA) stage to ensure the FS focuses on the appropriate types of remedies for each site orOU.
4.2 COMPLIANCE STRATEGY
This section describes the strategies for addressing compliance-related environmental issues at Fort Ritchie prior to closure and/or property transfer. These environmental compliance strategies have been developed to ensure that installations are compliant with Federal and State regulatory programs, and DoD and U.S. Army directives and regulations throughout the BRAC process. Table 4-4 identifies the environmental compliance early actions for Fort Ritchie.
Table 4-4. Environmental Compliance Planned Early Actions
Site Action Objective Time Frame
There are no identified compliance early actions for Fort Ritchie at this time.
4.2.1 Storage Tanks
Seventy-three (73) USTs and 4 ASTs currently remain in use at Fort Ritchie and are in compliance with State and Federal regulations. Management of these storage tanks will continue to meet all Federal and State regulations. There are also four USTs that have been abandoned in place at Fort Ritchie.
4.2.2 Hazardous Materials/Waste Management
The majority of hazardous wastes generated at Fort Ritchie will continue to be disposed of under a shipping contract administered by the DRMO. These wastes are shipped to various TSDFs in the surrounding states for disposal. Limited quantities of non-hazardous chemical solutions used in photographic processing will continue to be disposed of in the sanitary sewer system.
4.2.3 Solid Waste Management
Non-hazardous solid waste will continue to be hauled by contractors and disposed of off site in a State- sanctioned landfill and/or recycled.
4.2.4 Polychlorinated Biphenyls
PCB testing of all transformers on post revealed that three transformers at Building 119 on pole 253 were the only remaining PCB-containing transformers on post. The three transformers have been replaced. All other transformers are PCB-free.

Section 4.0 Installation-Wide Strategy for Environmental Restoration
4.2.5 Asbestos
An asbestos removal policy was developed for the installation in 1992 based on the results of a 1991/1992 asbestos survey. Ongoing asbestos abatement activities will continue as needed until the closure of Fort Ritchie.
4.2.6 Radon
Testing efforts and available information indicate that radon is not a concern for any of the buildings on the Fort Ritchie property.
4.2.7 RCRA Facilities
Fort Ritchie does not have any RCRA permitted facilities.
4.2.8 NPDES Permits
The existing NPDES outfalls will continue to be permitted and monitored under Fort Ritchie's current NPDES permit.
4.2.9 Oil/Water Separators
The five oil/water separators on the Fort Ritchie property will continue to operate with four of them discharging to the sanitary sewer system and the fifth discharging to Lake Wastler.
4.2.10 Lead-Based Paint
Installation buildings have been tested for the presence of LBP in three main testing efforts. Ongoing LBP activities will continue as needed until the closure of Fort Ritchie.
4.2.11 Unexploded Ordnance
All UXO impacted areas will continue to be restricted until such areas are cleared of UXO.
4.2.12 NRC Licensing
Fort Ritchie has four NRC licenses for various equipment and devices that contain radionuclides and are used by the 572nd Military Police Company. Fort Ritchie will continue to operate in compliance with NRC regulations and requirements.
4.2.13 Pollution Prevention
Fort Ritchie will continue to practice pollution prevention until closure. The possibility of recycling any materials during remedial activities will be considered during the design phase.
4.2.14 Mixed Waste
Mixed waste is not generated at Fort Ritchie; therefore, there are no compliance requirements or strategies under this program for Fort Ritchie.
4.2.15 Radiation
There are currently no radiation compliance issues at Fort Ritchie.
4.2.16 National Environmental Policy Act
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the transfer of Fort Ritchie was conducted by Lewis Berger and Associates, Inc. The Draft EIS Report was released to the public on 1 August 1997.

Section 4.0 Installation-Wide Strategy for Environmental Restoration
4.2.17 Medical Waste
Medical waste is generated by two Fort Ritchie tenants, the U.S. Army Health Clinic and the U.S. Army Dental Clinic. Medical waste will continue to be transported and disposed of off site until closure.
4.2.18 Air Permits
Fort Ritchie does not have an air permit because Fort Ritchie does not have any major air emission sources. Fort Ritchie will continue to comply with applicable air requirements and regulations.
4.3 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES STRATEGIES
This section discusses the strategies that will be developed for natural and cultural resources programs at Fort Ritchie in an effort to manage these resources throughout the BRAC cleanup and installation closure process.
4.3.1 Vegetation
Fort Ritchie will continue to maintain the existing vegetation until closure.
4.3.2 Wildlife
Fort Ritchie will continue to maintain the existing wildlife habitats until closure.
4.3.3 Wetlands
Fort Ritchie will continue to comply with wetlands regulations for the installations' wetland area throughout the property disposal process.
4.3.4 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species
Fort Ritchie will continue its effort to protect the floral and faunal species of concern that have been identified at the installation.
4.3.5 Cultural Resources
Fort Ritchie will continue to comply with applicable regulations for the historic district.
4.3.6 Other Resources
No other natural or cultural resources have been identified at Fort Ritchie.
4.4 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT/STRATEGY
The Community Relations Plan (CRP) facilitates communication between the U.S. Army; other Federal, State, or local agencies; and interested groups and other community residents concerning restoration activities at Fort Ritchie. This communication ensures that all parties involved or interested are provided accurate, consistent information in a timely manner concerning related cleanup activities, contaminants, and possible effects of any contamination. It provides a mechanism for all parties to provide input into the decision-making process of the environmental restoration program.
The strategy for a proactive community relations program at Fort Ritchie, in accordance with CERCLA Section 117, includes:
• Holding regular RAB meetings;
• Holding informal and formal public meetings as required during the response process;
• Providing an opportunity for public comment on removal actions;
• Maintaining an information repository at the installation; and
• Publishing facts sheets on the progress of environmental restoration and disposal programs.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM MASTER SCHEDULES
Master Schedules of anticipated activities in Fort Ritchie's environmental programs will include the following: environmental restoration activities, compliance activities, and natural and cultural resources activities. These schedules will be developed from detailed network and operational schedules that will be prepared to support site-specific work plans and compliance agreements. Each of these schedules will display the critical path analysis for the respective installation program.
5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROGRAM
This section presents response schedules and outlines fiscal year (FY) requirements for Fort Ritchie's environmental restoration program.
5.1.1 Response Schedules
The schedule for environmental response actions for Fort Ritchie is shown in Figure 5-1. The installation's ability to meet the milestones of the schedule hinges on (1) the preparation of draft reports and baseline risk assessments (i.e., not impeded by discovery of additional sources in the OUs), and (2) expedited review of submitted documents. The schedule is detailed in Figure 5-1. The following actions will be taken by the BCT to expedite the schedule:
• Draft documents will be reviewed in a timely fashion;
• Documents will be revised for quick turnaround/resubmission as Final; and
• Public comment periods for all documents will be reduced to 30 days.
5.1.2 Funding Requirements by Fiscal Year
The detailed funding requirements information by FY is presented in Table A-1. The total funds allocated for installation-wide environmental restoration in FY 1998 are $2,330,000. The total funds allocated for FY 1997 through FY 2001 are $14,203,000.
5.2 COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS This section presents master compliance schedules and outlines fiscal year requirements for Fort Ritchie's environmental compliance programs.
5.2.1 Master Compliance Schedules
There are no mission/operational-related compliance programs or closure-related compliance programs at Fort Ritchie at this time; therefore, there are no master compliance schedules. If necessary, they will be provided as Figure 5-2 and 5-3, respectively.
5.2.2 Funding Requirements by Fiscal Year
The detailed requirements information by fiscal year is not available at this time. When available, it will be incorporated into this document by reference, and summary information on funding requirements will be presented in Appendix A.
5.3 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES PROGRAMS
This section presents master natural and cultural resources activity schedules and outlines fiscal year requirements for Fort Ritchie's natural and cultural resources programs.

Final Document
6.0 TECHNICAL AND OTHER ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED
This chapter summarizes technical and other issues that are yet to be resolved. These issues include information management; the usability of historical data; data gaps; natural (background) levels of elements and compounds in soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment; risk assessment; state cleanup standards; and program initiatives to complete cleanup requirements as required to meet property transfer schedules.
6.1 DATA USABILITY
This section summarizes issues that need to be resolved with regard to managing information gathered and used in the installation environmental restoration and compliance programs.
6.1.1 BCT Action Items
Future action items may focus on improving coordination of, access to, and management of environmental restoration and real estate-type data generated at Fort Ritchie.
6.1.2 Rationale
As the number of agencies and contractors associated with the Fort Ritchie disposal and environmental restoration program grows, it will be important that all parties involved be able to share data for decision making. The establishment and maintenance of an electronic database of sampling and analysis data and spatial data (e.g., real estate maps) is the most efficient method of sharing data among parties.
6.1.3 Status/Strategy
Strategies have been developed to address data usability requirements as part of the Quality Assurance program for Fort Ritchie. Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) have been developed to ensure data collected during the field investigation/RA process will be of known defensible quality suitable for achieving project objectives.
6.2 DATA INTEGRATION AND MANAGEMENT
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the validity of using historical data sets in the installation environmental restoration program. Future action items may focus on continuing to ensure the acceptability of data generated through: 1) compliance with USEPA guidance on data validation; and 2) execution of field work in accordance with procedures established in approved Sampling and Analysis Plans.
6.2.1 BCT Action Items
The BCT will continue to ensure all parties involved in environmental restoration activities at Fort Ritchie are able to share data for decision making.
6.2.2 Rationale
Historical analytical data can contribute to the completion of site characterizations and risk assessments by filling data gaps. Current and future data from each data collection system (e.g., field laboratories, field screening techniques) are critical to the completion of all site characterization efforts, comprehensive conceptual model development, risk assessments, and ultimately the selection of RAs to protect human health and the environment.
6.2.3 Status/Strategy
Data gathered for environmental restoration efforts at Fort Ritchie are stored in database format.
DACA31-94-D-0064 6"1 Fort Ritchie Base Realignment and Closure ESPS05-9 (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP), Version II March 1998 Final Document
Section 6.0 Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved
6.3 DATA GAPS
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the determination and collection of data needed to complete the Fort Ritchie environmental restoration program.
6.3.1 BCT Action Items
Future action items may include the assessment of data gaps for the ongoing development of an environmental restoration strategy.
6.3.2 Rationale
Effective identification and filling of data gaps will permit the development of comprehensive conceptual site models for site characterization and risk assessment. Effective analysis of data gaps will also facilitate the completion of investigation efforts so that appropriate RAs can be identified and evaluated. This information will also facilitate the identification of clean areas at Fort Ritchie.
6.3.3 Status/Strategy
Areas requiring additional characterization sampling have been proposed in the SI Report and Workplan Addendum (ICF KE, 1997b and ICF KE, 1998). However, the BCT has not made a final determination regarding additional field work at this time. The future strategy may incorporate the use of BCT meetings to resolve data gap issues prior to the execution of additional field work.
6.4 BACKGROUND LEVELS
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to documenting background levels for the Fort Ritchie environmental restoration program.
6.4.1 BCT Action Items
Background levels will be reviewed and evaluated in conjunction with the SI Report.
6.4.2 Rationale
Background concentration values of analytes in the soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment have been established. The values are representative of analyte concentrations which are naturally occurring and analyte concentrations which are due to anthropogenic sources. USEPA and MDE are expected to concur with these values.
6.4.3 Status/Strategy
Background concentrations for surface soil, subsurface soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment were established during the SI. Background locations were selected to represent the most upgradient areas of Fort Ritchie which do not lie within an OU or otherwise potentially contaminated areas.
6.5 RISK ASSESSMENT
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the completion of risk assessments required to complete the Fort Ritchie environmental restoration and compliance programs.
6.5.1 BCT Action Items
The Risk Assessment will be reviewed in conjunction with the SI Report. Future action items may include continuing evaluation of the role of anticipated land use as a criterion in selection assumptions in the exposure assessment.
DACA31-94-D-0064 6"2 Fort Ritchie Base Realignment and Closure ESPS05-9 (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP), Version II March 1998 Final Document
Section 6.0 Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved
6.5.2 Rationale
Based on the results of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Plan, future land use ranges from residential to industrial. This risk assessment must take all potential future uses into account during exposure analysis.
6.5.3 Status/Strategy
A draft baseline risk assessment has been conducted, as part of the SI based on the initial sampling data, to identify and characterize the toxicity and potential effects on human health and ecological receptors associated with any hazardous substances present at Fort Ritchie. The risk assessment forms the basis for determining whether or not further investigation/RA is necessary at Fort Ritchie and justification for performing any action that may be required. The risk assessment will be expanded/updated based on additional data collected.
The Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) examines plausible exposure scenarios under both current land use and future land use conditions. Under the current land use scenario, the HHRA looked at both a site worker/caretaker and a teenage trespasser/visitor as receptors. Under the future land use scenario, a child resident, adult resident, excavation worker, and/or dredge worker are examined as potential receptors. Ecological receptors identified in the Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) include terrestrial plants, soil invertebrates, terrestrial wildlife, and aquatic life.
6.6 INSTALLATION-WIDE REMEDIAL ACTION STRATEGY
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to an installation-wide RA strategy. An RA strategy has not been developed for Fort Ritchie to address the ongoing environmental restorations. The future land use risk assessment for remedy selections is presented in Table 6-1.
6.6.1 BCT Action Items
The RA strategy for cleanup at Fort Ritchie has not yet been established. The BCT will develop this strategy after reviewing the SI Report, and revise the remediation schedule accordingly.
6.6.2 Rationale
The installation-wide RA strategy would be structured to achieve expedited RAs while controlling costs.
6.6.3 Status/Strategy
The activities presented in the Work Plan (ICF KE, 1997a) are currently being implemented and additional investigations outlined in the Workplan Addendum (ICF KE, 1998) are planned for Spring 1998. The schedule for investigation and cleanup activities is presented on Figure 5-1.
6.7 INTERIM MONITORING OF GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to monitoring groundwater and surface water.
6.7.1 BCT Action Items
No BCT action items have been identified at Fort Ritchie at this time regarding interim monitoring of groundwater and surface water.
6.7.2 Rationale
Long-term monitoring may be necessary as part of remedial efforts for selected sites at Fort Ritchie.
6.7.3 Status/Strategy
Because there are no BCT action items for interim monitoring, there is no strategy.

Section 6.0 Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved
6.8 EXCAVATION OF CONTAMINATED MATERIALS
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the excavation of contaminated materials. At this time, excavation of contaminated material has not been planned at Fort Ritchie.
6.8.1 BCT Action Items
No BCT action items for the excavation of contaminated materials have been identified at Fort Ritchie at this time.
6.8.2 Rationale
Excavation of contaminated materials may be required as part of the environmental restoration efforts at Fort Ritchie.
6.8.3 Status/Strategy
A strategy for excavation of contaminated materials will be established subsequent to additional characterization at Fort Ritchie.
6.9 PROTOCOLS FOR REMEDIAL DESIGN REVIEWS
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the development of protocols for the review of remedial designs. At this time, protocols have not been developed.
6.9.1 BCT Action Items
No BCT action items have been identified at Fort Ritchie at this time. Future action items may include the development of protocols for the review of remedial designs.
6.9.2 Rationale
Review of remedial designs is critical to ensure that cleanup goals will be achieved and that they are technically and administratively feasible.
6.9.3 Status/Strategy
Because there are no BCT action items for developing protocols for remedial design reviews, there is no strategy.
6.10 CONCEPTUAL MODELS
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the development of conceptual models for environmental restoration efforts at Fort Ritchie. At this time, conceptual site models have not been prepared for Fort Ritchie.
6.10.1 BCT Action Item
No BCT action items have been identified at Fort Ritchie at this time. Future action items may include the development of conceptual models.
6.10.2 Rationale
The conceptual site models will be developed based on the results of past investigations and ongoing RAs.
6.10.3 Status/Strategy
Because there are no BCT action items for conceptual models, there is no strategy.

Section 6.0 Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved
6.11 CLEANUP STANDARDS
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the development of cleanup standards. Cleanup standards will be used to identify remedial alternatives capable of achieving cleanup goals and determine the time when remediation will be complete.
6.11.1 BCT Action Items
The BCT will review the cleanup standards prior to the implementation of any RA at Fort Ritchie.
6.11.2 Rationale
Cleanup standards will be established after review and evaluation of the risk assessment and potential reuse and based on the level of concern (LOC) concentrations identified during the SI. LOC values are media-specific, chemical concentrations, which are derived from ARARs.
6.11.3 Status/Strategy
The LOCs established for soil, groundwater, and surface water were selected based upon the most stringent values available from either USEPA Region III or MDE. Since regulatory standards are not available for sediment, several reference sources were used to develop a list of sediment guidance values. LOCs for human health and the environment are presented in Tables 6-2 through 6-5.
6.12 INITIATIVES FOR ACCELERATING CLEANUP
This section summarizes unresolved issues pertaining to the development of initiatives for accelerating cleanup at Fort Ritchie. During 1992 and 1993, the U.S. Army developed a general Acceleration Plan for contaminated sites that was reviewed, and concurred with, by the regulatory agencies. The cleanup acceleration initiatives applicable to Fort Ritchie are:
• Overlap SI at identified OUs with any necessary Remedial Design (RD) and RA phases;
• Acceleration of procurement actions;
• Concurrent U.S. Army/regulatory review of all work plans, investigation reports, and secondary documents;
• Compression of time allocated to produce revised documents and comment response packages;
• Compression of field schedules;
• Supplementing existing work plans for future work instead of producing new work plans (includes Quality Assurance Project Plans and Health and Safety Plans);
• Initiating field work after review and resolution of comments on draft work plans;
• Using SI data packages as the decision point for NFRAP, RAs, or continued study; and
• The use of presumptive remedies.
6.12.1 BCT Action Items
The BCT will attempt to incorporate all applicable initiatives for accelerating cleanup into the restoration program at Fort Ritchie.
6.12.2 Rationale
It is desirable to initiate accelerated cleanups at Fort Ritchie to facilitate the property transfer process.

Final Document
Section 6.0 Technical and Other Issues to be Resolved
6.12.3 Status/Strategy
Initiatives for accelerating cleanup that can be implemented by the BCT include the following:
Evaluate the use of OUs that reflect current environmental restoration investigations to expedite the investigation and review process;
Target Source Areas - Target source areas for early RAs;
Identify ARARs - Early in the project, develop a list of ARARs by obtaining lists of ARARs from the State and other agencies and examine the remedies for similar sites in the same State to identify which ARARs are likely to apply;
Risk-based Cleanup - Pursue negotiations with the regulators to agree on risk-based cleanup standards based on future land usage;
Agreements - The use of an Interagency Agreement, such as a DoD/Maryland Memorandum of Agreement to expedite cleanup, needs to be explored;
Defined Document Review Process - Negotiate terms with the regulatory reviewers to streamline the review process by agreeing to a definitive time cycle;
Concurrent Reviews - Develop a complete list of reviewers early and pursue parallel review tracks to eliminate delays;
Team Approach - Build a strong team - consisting of the BEC, U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC), USACE representatives, contractors, and Federal and Maryland regulatory personnel - that has the authority, responsibility, and accountability for implementing innovative solutions to remediate and close sites in a timely, cost-effective manner;
Joint Preparation - Expedite document preparation and review/approval by forming a working team with USEPA and MDE when preparing required documents such as action memoranda;
Community Involvement - Involve the community during the remedial process to encourage support at the time of site closure. By informing the community during the process, the likelihood of opposing comments during the public comment period will be lessened;
Innovative Technologies - Pursue collaborative projects using innovative technologies being researched at the USAEC or USACE or those suggested by the contractor;
Generic Procedures - Develop generic procedures and Scopes of Work for common problems or common types of contaminated sites (such as fuel contamination in soil). These procedures should be flexible enough for site-specific modifications to be made;
Innovative Contracting - Maximize flexibility of contracting procedures, investigate the use of level-of-effort, direct/cost reimbursement, award incentives, and other flexible contracting methods; and
Personnel and Resource - Determine personnel expertise and funding required to handle existing and proposed environmental restoration/compliance programs, including support to the BCT.
