Final Environmental Baseline Survey C-1March 2000

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of Survey

An environmental baseline survey (EBS) was conducted at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site

near Harrison, Arkansas, and three AN/MST-T1(V) Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-

MUTE) sites. The survey assessed environmental conditions present at the various sites for

consideration in future planning. The Everton Electronic Scoring Site contains a manned site

with personnel and the Mini-MUTE sites support unmanned electronic combat radar units.

These sites provide a simulated combat training environment for Air Force crews (USAF 1993b).

1.2 Scope of Survey

The environmental baseline survey involved a site visit and inspection of all properties and

facilities associated with the Everton Electronic Scoring Site operated by Lockheed Martin and

the United States Air Force (USAF). These site visits included the Everton Electronic Scoring

Site itself and three associated Mini-MUTE sites scattered throughout the surrounding area.

Interviews were conducted with base personnel and relevant documentation was examined.

1.3 Site Descriptions

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site is located off Arkansas State Highway 206, near the city of

Harrison in Boone County, Arkansas (Figure 1). The Mini-MUTE sites are located in rural

agricultural areas in the surrounding counties of Baxter and Marion, as well as one site in Howell

County, Missouri. Mini-MUTE site 4MM1 is located in Baxter County, roughly 1 mile east of

Big Flat, near the intersection of County Road 81 and Arkansas State Highway 14. Mini-MUTE

site 4MM4 is located in Howell County, Missouri, approximately 2 miles south of the town of

Caulfield. The site is situated north of the intersection of Missouri State Highway 101 and

County Road YY and accessed by State Highway 101. Mini-MUTE site 4MM5, located in

Marion County, Arkansas, is south of Bull Shoals Lake and accessed by County Road 227. The

sites varied topographically and are fenced for security purposes.

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site facility, constructed by the USAF in 1994-1995 (Brumett

1998), consists of a building with many attached trailers that allow transfer of complex radar

systems. The 6.94 acre property is leased from Denton Yearns, a private landowner. The

property is bordered to the north by Old Everton Road, which is lined with trees. The site is

bordered to the south by Arkansas State Highway 206 and to the east by grazing land. The

western border of the property is L-shaped to accommodate a pond and grazing land used by the

adjacent landowner. The facility is located in the northeast corner of the property. A chain-link

fence with gated entry surrounds the facility and a barbed wire fence surrounds the entirety of the

leased property. Four sheds are located northwest of the facility and were used for hazardous

material and general storage. A power shed is located west of the main facility and a break area

with a few picnic tables is found to the south. The facility grounds cover approximately 30

percent of the leased 6.94-acre property.

The Mini-MUTE sites, constructed in 1996-1997, consists of a parcel of land measuring roughly

800 feet by 800 feet surrounded by a barbed wire fence with a gated entry. Inside these barbed

wire fences are gravel pads for the radar units ranging from 120 feet by 120 feet to 150 feet by

150 feet. These pads are all surrounded by a chain-link security fence with gated entry. Mini-

MUTE sites 4MM1 and 4MM5 have electrical and telephone lines with the accompanying utility

poles and transformers. Power is supplied to the sites by Entergy, Inc. Telephone service is

provided to the sites by ALLTELL and North Arkansas Telephone Co. None of the Mini-MUTE

sites contain any structures. Three service trucks are used by the facility personnel and can be

found parked at the Electronic Scoring Site or Mimi-MUTE sites. Grazing rights inside the

initial barbed wire fence have been secured with the landowners via written or verbal agreement

(Sumey 1998).

Mini-MUTE site 4MM1 is situated in an area surrounded by grazing land. The property is

bounded to the north by Arkansas State Highway 14 and to the south by agricultural land that

contains some forested areas. The property is bounded to the east by a gravel driveway and to

the west by grazing land and an old barn. Mini-MUTE site 4MM4 is also primarily surrounded

by grazing land. The property is bordered to the north by forested grazing land and to the south

by grazing land and a barn. East of the property is forested grazing land and west of the property

is Missouri State Highway 101. Mini-MUTE site 4MM5 is located in an area previously used

for grazing horses. The site is bordered to the north and south by grazing pasture. Pasture and a

residence are located to the east and a gravel access road is located to the west.

3.0 FINDINGS

3.1 Site History and Current Use

The grounds for the Everton Electronic Scoring Site were historically used for growing corn, but

the productivity of the land was quickly reduced. When the land was acquired by Denton Yearns

in 1963 it became grazing pasture for cattle (USAF 1993b). The leased property is now used for

the Electronic Scoring Site. On June 18, 1996 this property was placed under the civilian control

of Lockheed Martin who employs 25 to 30 personnel (Brumett 1998, Sumey 1998). The land use

at the Mini-MUTE sites has historically been agricultural land for grazing, which continues on

most of the adjoining properties. All the sites were rural and surrounded by either productive or

nonproductive agricultural land.

3.2 Environmental Setting

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site is located in an area used primarily for agriculture. The

facility has a gravel parking lot and drive from State Highway 206. Areas of maintained lawn are

present to the south, east, and west. Lawn species include red fescue (Festuca rubra) and

Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon). The site contains several species of trees (Quercus falcata

and Ulmus alata) and a few of the larger trees create shade for the employee break area, south of

the facility (USAF 1993a). An unused Mini-MUTE radar unit sits in the lawn, south of the

facility. The topography of the site was relatively flat and the site elevation was 1,120 feet above

ground level (AGL) (USGS 1975). The dominant soil type found at the Everton Electronic

Scoring Site is Noark very cherty silt loam with 3 to 8 percent slopes. This soil, formed from

residuum from cherty limestone, is deep, well drained, and moderately permeable (USDA 1981).

The building is heated and cooled electrically, with power supplied by Arkansas Power and

Lighting. Fire protection is provided by the City of Valley Springs and police protection is

provided by Boone County (Brumett 1998, Sumey 1998, Record 1998).

The Mini-MUTE sites have variable environmental settings. Mini-MUTE site 4MM1 is situated

in an area surrounded by grazing land. The vegetation present at the site is primarily native

grasses and weedy species. The topography is relatively flat and a small drainage swale is

located in the northeast section of the property. The site elevation is approximately 1,200 feet

AGL (USGS 1966). Some backfilling has been performed to create a level surface for the radar

pad. The fill is grated from the surrounding area and no outside material used (Dillard 1998).

The dominant soil type found at the site is Sidon silt loam wit 3 to 8 percent slopes. This soil is



deep, moderately well drained, with low permeability (USDA 1983). On the site rested two

Mini-MUTE units and a service truck.

Mini-MUTE site 4MM4 is located in an area that once contained a home. Evidence of a

foundation can be seen in the northwest corner of the property, as well as an old furnace and

water heater unit. The former homesite is dominated by Eastern red cedar (Juniperus

virginiana); the rest of the site supports Southern red oak (Quercus falcata) and native grasses.

The topography of the site is undulating with elevations ranging from 1,020 to 1,040 feet AGL

(USGS 1968). A small agricultural pond is located on the western slope of the site,

approximately 60 yards from the interior chain-link fence and gravel pad. The exterior barbed

wire fence has gates on the east side, north side, and northwest corner. Cattle grazing has

continued on the lands inside the barbed-wire security fence. No radar units, telephone lines, or

power equipment are present at the site, having been removed on September 15, 1997 (Sumey

1998).

Mini-MUTE site 4MM5 is located in an area previously used by grazing horses. This is still

permitted and continuing inside the initial barbed-wire security fence. The vegetation found on

the site is primarily grass species used for horse forage. The topography of the site is relatively

flat with an approximate elevation of 840 feet AGL (USGS 1972). The site has a drainage

channel in the southeast corner that drains off of the property. The site has been backfilled to

provide a level surface for the radar equipment. The dominant soil present at the site is the

Arkana-Moko Complex with 3 to 8 percent slopes. This soil is a mixture of Arkana moderately

deep, well drained, very slowly permeable soils and Moko shallow, well drained, moderately

permeable soils (USDA 1983). Two radar units are situated on the gravel pad, as well as a

service truck for each of the units.

3.3 Hazardous Substances

3.3.1 Hazardous Materials and Petroleum Products

Hazardous materials are of relatively low abundance at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and

the Mini-MUTE sites. Hazardous materials from the Electronic Scoring Site and the Mini-

MUTE sites, such as used insulating oil and aerosol cans, are transported by Lockheed Martin

employees to a consolidated accumulation point at Little Rock Air Force Base (AFB), Little

Rock, Arkansas. Used batteries and old fluorescent light bulbs are also transported to Little

Rock AFB via Lockheed Martin employees. Rags that are soaked with oils are bagged and taken



to Little Rock AFB. Rags that are soaked with hydraulic fluid are double bagged and disposed of

as solid waste (Nelson 1998).

Hazardous materials present outside the Everton Electronic Scoring Site facility are mostly

confined to the storage sheds located to the northwest. Inside, hazardous materials are located

within appropriate storage cabinets. The storage sheds are numbered from one to four, with four

being the closest shed to the facility and one being the furthest shed from the facility. Along the

eastern outside wall of shed number four, were four large propane tanks that were apparently

empty. A flammable/combustionable materials storage cabinet was located inside shed number

three that contained paint, oil, mixed fuels, fuel additives, and antifreeze. The shed also

contained assorted fuels and oils that were not inside the flammable/combustionable cabinet. No

spill materials were located in shed number three. Storage shed number one contained several

aerosol cans not inside a containment cabinet and a 2.5-gallon bucket of tar. A coffee can fuel of

used tractor oil was on the ground, north of shed number one. Also outside the facility, on the

northeast side, were two plastic containment pallets that could each hold up to four 55-gallon

drums. One of the containment pallets contained three 55-gallon drums of used oil. The other

containment pallet held two empty 55-gallon drums and a 5-gallon drum of used hydraulic oil.

A flammable/combustionable materials storage cabinet is located inside the facility in the Mini-

MUTES work center. The cabinet contained aerosol paints, hydraulic fluid, and alcohols. The

work center also contained fourteen 5-gallon cans of insulating oil for the radar systems within a

plastic containment tub. A bucket for oily rags was found in the Mini-MUTES work center, as

well as spill materials. Another flammable cabinet was found in the maintenance area, near the

Route Information Integration System area. This cabinet contained aerosol paint cans, solvents,

gallons of paint, charcoal lighter fluid, glass cleaner, hydraulic fluid, and a 5-gallon propane

tank. Spill materials were present in the maintenance area. A metal storage cabinet was also

located in the maintenance area that contained janitorial supplies, such as multi-purpose cleaner,

glass cleaner, floor wax, scouring powder, and aerosol furniture polish. Next to this cabinet were

two boxes that contained new and used fluorescent light bulbs. Empty aerosol cans and used 6-

volt batteries were stored in two separate boxes in the supply room. Spill materials were also

located inside the power shed, west of the main facility.

Due to the rural nature of the Mini-MUTE sites and their past history of agricultural use, there

were no past incidents of hazardous materials usage or disposal. There are no present signs of

PCB containing equipment, asbestos-containing building materials, wastewater treatment and

disposal, or lead-based paint. Two of the sites (4MM1 and 4MM5) contain 55-gallon drums to



store used insulating oil from the radar units. These drums were stored inside a plastic storage

unit, placed against the chain-link fence away from the radar units. Site 4MM1 had one empty

55-gallon storage drum inside the plastic storage container. Site 4MM5 had ten 5-gallon cans of

electrical insulating oil inside the plastic storage container in addition to a half full 55-gallon oil

storage drum. Another empty 55-gallon storage drum was on site, but was not placed inside the

plastic storage container. The used oil is drained via a hose system into the 55-gallon drums and

returned to the Everton Electronic Scoring Site where it is stored before transport to Little Rock

AFB (Dillard 1998). No incidents of hazardous material spills involving these storage drums are

known to have occurred (Sumey 1998, Dillard 1998).

3.4 Installation Restoration Program Contamination

There are no Installation Restoration Program sites present at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site

or any of the Mini-MUTE sites.

3.5 Storage Tanks

3.5.1 Underground Storage Tanks

No underground storage tanks are known to exist at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site or any of

the Mini-MUTE sites (Brumett 1998, Angus 1998). No underground storage tanks are present,

or have been present, in the immediate vicinity of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site or the

Mini-MUTE sites.

3.5.2 Aboveground Storage Tanks

No aboveground storage tanks are present at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site. Due to the

sites history of agricultural use, no aboveground storage tanks have ever been present on the site

(Brumett 1998, Angus 1998). No aboveground storage tanks are present, or have been present, at

any of the Mini-MUTE sites.

3.5.3 Pipelines, Hydrant Fueling, and Transfer Systems

No pipelines, hydrant fueling, or transfer systems are located in the immediate vicinity of the

Everton Electronic Scoring Site or the Mini-MUTE sites.



3.6 Oil/Water Separators

No oil/water separators are located in the immediate vicinity of the Everton Electronic Scoring

Site or the Mini-MUTE sites.

3.7 Pesticides and Herbicides

Inside a metal cabinet was found 22.5 gallons of Round-Up™ brand herbicide. This cabinet is

located inside storage shed number one. Round-Up™ is a general use herbicide and does not

require the applicator to be certified. All herbicide applications at the Everton Electronic

Scoring Site are conducted by Terry Barton, who is not a certified applicator. Herbicides are

applied around fences, survey markers, the driveway, and septic tank leach field to keep areas

clear of vegetation. To keep the roads and fences clear of vegetation, herbicides are applied at

the Mini-MUTE sites by an independent contractor for Lockheed Martin (Sumey 1998, Dillard

1998). Several types of hazardous pesticides were also found within the metal storage cabinet in

shed number one. The cabinet contained wasp killer, diazinon crawling insect killer, malathion

insecticide, and pyrethrum insect fogger. All appropriate chemical warning labels were posted.

3.8 Medical and Biohazardous Waste

The routine operations of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the Mini-MUTE sites do not

generate medical or biohazardous waste.

3.9 Ordnance

The primary purpose of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the accompanying Mini-MUTE

sites is to provide the U.S. Air Force with an electronic simulated combat range. As a result, no

live ordnance is used during Air Force training operations in the vicinity of the facility sites.

3.10 Radioactive Waste

No radioactive waste is generated at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the Mini-MUTE

sites.



3.11 Solid Waste

The removal of solid waste from the facilities is accomplished by Sun-Ray Co., an independent

contractor. The waste is taken to either of two landfills located in Van Buren or Carroll County

(USAF 1993b).

3.12 Groundwater

At the Everton Electronic Scoring Site, groundwater is found 200 to 300 feet deep (USAF

1993b). Due to the depth of groundwater, the nature of the operations performed by the facility,

and the lack of hazardous chemical spills, groundwater contamination is unlikely to have

occurred.

3.13 Wastewater Treatment, Collection, and Disposal

Wastewater is handled by a 1,800 gallon septic tank located on site. The septic system has a

required absorption area of 1,530 square feet. The system has eight-field lines with a 96 foot

field length. The leach field is located north of the site and vegetative growth on the field is

controlled with herbicides. A permit for an individual sewage disposal system was approved by

the Arkansas Department of Health, Division of Sanitation Services on September 1, 1993. An

inspection of the septic system while in place and uncovered was performed by on November 15,

1993 (Arkansas Department of Health 1993). No wastewater is generated at the Mini-MUTE

sites.

3.14 Drinking Water Supply

Drinking water for the Everton Electronic Scoring Site is supplied by the Valley Springs

Municipal Water Supply. Drinking water quality testing is performed at unknown intervals and

periodic boiling warnings are often issued (Brumett 1998, Lewis 1998). No drinking water is

provided to the Mini-MUTE sites.

3.15 Asbestos

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site was constructed recently (1994-1995) and no asbestos was

used during the process (Sumey 1998, Brumett 1998). Mini-MUTE sites do not have structures

present and, therefore, lack asbestos.



3.16 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB)

PCB content in transformers is considered negligible due to their recent installation. Ninety nine

percent of energy transformers in the region contain less than 50 PPM of PCBs (Harrell 1998).

No other PCB sources have been identified.

3.17 Radon

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site falls within Zone 2 of the EPA Map of Radon Zones,

indicating a potential for radon contamination. The facility is a modular trailer, situated about 3

feet above unsealed ground. No radon testing has been performed at any of the sites (Brumett

1998).

3.18 Lead-Based Paint

Due to the recent construction of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and lack of structures at the

Mini-MUTE sites, no lead-based paints are known to have been used. All paints are stored in

designated areas on site.

3.19 Surface Waters and Wetlands

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the Mini-MUTE sites are primarily drained by sheet

flow along defined slopes. A dry drainage swale is located in the northeast corner of Mini-

MUTE site 4MM1. A defined drainage channel is found in the southeast corner of Mini-MUTE

site 4MM5. This channel was dry and is probably only active during large precipitation events.

No wetlands occurred at any of the Mini-MUTE sites or the Everton Electronic Scoring Site.

Mini-MUTE site 4MM4 has a small agricultural pond located inside the first barbed wire

security fence. Grazing continues on this site and the pond is used as a water source for cattle.

3.20 Soil Contamination

No major incidents of soil contamination are known to occur at any of the sites (Brumett 1998,

Angus 1998). No major spills are known to have occurred at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site

or any of the Mini-MUTE sites (Brumett 1998, Angus 1998). According to an Internal ECAMP

performed in 1996, two small spills have occurred. One was a 2-quart spill of transmitter oil that

occurred on March 23, 1995. The other was a 3-gallon spill of roof tar on July 24, 1995 (USAF



1996). A 4-foot stain was observed near the jammer equipment on the east side of the facility.

The stain may have resulted from spilled cooking oil used to deep fry turkeys (Angus 1998).

Two creosote stains have occurred around power poles. One stain was around a utility pole in

the northeast corner of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site that had been in place since 1997

(Angus 1998). The stain is approximately one foot in diameter. The other stain is around a

utility pole at Mini-MUTE site 4MM4.



4.0 FINDINGS FOR ADJACENT PROPERTIES

4.1 Land Use

The land surrounding the Everton Electronic Scoring Site is used as for agricultural grazing. The

southern side of the Electronic Scoring Site is adjacent to Arkansas State Highway 206. The

land surrounding the Mini-MUTE sites is also used for agricultural grazing. A residence is

located near the northern boundary of site 4MM5. All of the Mini-MUTE sites have at least one

side adjacent to a roadway.

4.2 Adjacent Properties

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site is bordered by a pond on the western side. A pond is also

located adjacent to the eastern boundary of Mini-MUTE site 4MM1. It is used as a water source

for cattle grazing on the adjacent properties. Some of the land to the south and west of site

4MM1 support forested woodlots. Residences were present to the south of site 4MM1 and to the

east of site 4MM5. The lands adjacent to Site 4MM5 are used to graze horses while the grazing

lands adjacent to the other properties are used to graze cattle.



5.0 APPLICABLE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ISSUES

5.1 Compliance Issues

The Everton Electronic Scoring Site had several hazardous materials not stored in the proper

containment areas. Radon testing had not been performed at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site,

however, this site does fall within the EPA radon zone 2, indicating a potential for radon

contamination. In addition, there is unsealed or unpaved ground underneath the facility, which

could be a potential radon hazard.

5.2 Corrective Actions

Hazardous materials not properly stored could be placed in the proper storage cabinets. If more

cabinets were needed they could be purchased. Radon testing could be performed to resolve this

outstanding health and safety issue.

5.3 Cost Estimate of Various Alternatives

If more flammable/combustionable material storage cabinets were needed, they could be

purchased for $200 to $400. The average cost of radon testing is $15 per kit.



6.0 CONCLUSIONS

6.1 Facility Matrix

Based on the findings, AFI 32-7066 requires the EBS to categorize the presence of hazardous

substances, petroleum products, or their derivatives for each property or area. There are seven

categories which cover USAF properties:

1. those with no history of storage, release, or disposal;

2. those where only storage occurred but no release was reported;

3. those with minimal contamination below action levels;

4. those where remedial action has been completed;

5. those where remedial actions are underway;

6. those where response actions have not commenced; and

7. those where further evaluation is recommended.

Table 6-1 summarizes the facility matrix and the property categories.

6.2 Data Gaps

Every reasonable effort was made to collect and review all data available. There are no known

data gaps.



7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials should be stored in designated accumulation areas and inside the proper

containment equipment. Flammable materials should be stored inside flammable/

combustionable material storage cabinets to reduce the risk of chemical spills and combustion.

7.2 Radon Testing

Radon testing should be performed at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site to ensure compliance

and provide a safe environment for facility personnel. Due to the lack of structures at the Mini-

MUTE sites radon testing is unnecessary.
