MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
Executive Summary
The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/U.S. Army Forces Strategic
Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) Environmental Division performed an
Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) of the 49th
Missile Defense Battalion’s (MDB)
non-tactical facilities (support facilities outside of the Missile Defense Complex) at Fort
Greely, Alaska, at the request of the 49th
MDB. The USASMDC/ARSTRAT
Environmental Division was assisted by Teledyne Solutions, Inc. in completing the EBS.
The EBS is not being completed in association with a property transfer, but instead was
requested by the 49th
MDB to survey currently used facilities for the purpose of:
Identifying potential areas of concern to be monitored/maintained
Establishing a reference document for transitioning personnel
The non-tactical support facilities consist of three office buildings, a motor pool, an
enlisted barracks, and over one hundred residential units. The EBS consisted of records
reviews, personnel interviews, database searches, and property surveys for a
representative sample of these facilities. USASMDC/ARSTRAT personnel worked
closely with 49th
MDB and Fort Greely Directorate of Public Works (DPW) personnel
and are grateful for the cooperation and support provided.
In general, the facility surveys (conducted on September 20-21, 2007) consisted of
condition surveys of piping insulation (primarily focused on asbestos thermal system
insulation condition), visual identification of evidence of past spills, visual identification
of evidence of other historical activities beyond current usage, and a discussion &
question/answer session (and visual inspection of issue if warranted) with the occupant
regarding housing concerns related to (with primary message in parentheses):
recent announcement of discovery of elevated lead in some portions of the post
drinking water distribution system (run faucet for 30-60 seconds before taking
water for consumption),
radon (sample results generally show radon not an issue across the post,
mitigation units installed where radon is a concern),
asbestos (present in most 700 and 800 series housing, but not a hazard when kept
in good condition….report damage to housing office so it can be repaired),
mold/mildew (DPW Housing Office wants residents to clean less than 100 square
feet areas with 10% bleach solution and report larger mold areas and/or
ventilation fan problems for cleaning/repairs),
lead-based paint (probably present under newer layers of paint in housing built
before 1980…paint over peeling paint and clean up paint chips to eliminate
children’s exposure), and
other issues as brought up by occupant.
Overall, the housing units and the offices were generally in good environmental condition
and are suitable for their intended purpose and do not pose a health risk to the occupants.
Many of the facilities were built before 1980s, and these facilities have lead-based paint

and asbestos-containing materials. These items are not a threat to human health as long
as they are kept in good condition. The garrison has a suitable program in place to advise
new residents on the presence of these materials, precautions to take when living amongst
these materials, and where to get assistance if necessary. Damage to suspected lead-
based paint or asbestos should be immediately reported to the Fort Greely Directorate of
Public Works (DPW) Environmental Office. No regulatory compliance issues were
found during the inspection, but a number of best management practice recommendations
are included in this report. The Fort Greely DPW Office was requested to place work
orders for minor repairs of asbestos insulation at 6 residences, cleanup or sampling of
mold at 3 residences, take drinking water samples from at least 7 residences, and DPW
was requested to look into issues not associated with the environmental survey at a
number of other residences. The 49th
MDB Motor Pool should investigate the source of
the halogenated compounds recently discovered in the oil/water separator sludge and
eliminate the usage of hazardous materials containing chlorinated solvents. The 49th
Command should also monitor the health situation of one occupant who stated she had
been sick since moving into the residential unit in August 2007 (see notes on 833D in
Appendix A). USASMDC/ARSTRAT also recommends DPW’s housing inspection
schedule for residential units (currently just at turnover) be supplemented by
USASMDC/ARSTRAT surveys at residential units that haven’t had a turnover inspection
in the previous 2 years. These additional surveys will further protect the health and
safety of the residents by more closely monitoring the condition of lead-based paint and
asbestos-containing materials in the housing units. Additionally, USASMDC/ARSTRAT
recommends 49th
MDB personnel utilize the self-help store to keep painted surfaces in
good condition (repaint to seal lead-based paint).
In general, the residents welcomed the opportunity to discuss environmental concerns.
The residents, in general, are not overly worried about the drinking water lead issues (a
few were, and requested drinking water samples be collected for testing….but most
weren't). The resident’s level of concern is due to a number of reasons including:
garrison explained situation thoroughly at the 9/14/07 and 11/6/07 community
meeting and are taking appropriate actions,
some occupant(s) didn't drink the water anyway because the water was
already perceived as “bad", or
some occupant(s) already had a point of use filter on taps used for
cooking/consumption.
The EBS report provides details on the findings at each property and provides significant
information on asbestos, radon, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, the former
nuclear reactor, the former chemical weapons testing, the cleanup of contaminated sites at
Fort Greely, and many other topics. The Fort Greely Environmental Office is staffed by
highly qualified personnel and ensures that environmental contaminants at Fort Greely do
not pose a threat to the human health of the workers or the residents. The environmental
staff is a significant resource that the 49th
MDB Command should utilize to disseminate
information and answer questions from 49th
MDB families and personnel.

Fort Greely, Alaska
1.0 Purpose of the Environmental Baseline Survey
The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/U.S. Army Forces Strategic
Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) Environmental Division performed an
Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) of the 49th
Missile Defense Battalion’s (MDB)
non-tactical facilities (support facilities outside of the Missile Defense Complex) at Fort
Greely, Alaska, at the request of the 49th
MDB. The USASMDC/ARSTRAT
Environmental Division was assisted by Teledyne Solutions, Inc. in completing the EBS.
The EBS is not being completed in association with a property transfer, but instead was
requested to survey currently used facilities for the purpose of:
Identifying potential areas of concern to be monitored/maintained
Establishing a reference document for transitioning personnel
1.1 Boundaries of the Property and Survey Area
The EBS covers the following buildings or portions of buildings occupied by 49th
MDB
personnel and dependents:

2.0 Survey Methodology
This EBS was prepared utilizing the following documents as guidelines:
U.S. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7066 Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real
Estate Transactions
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E1528-06
Standard Practice for Limited Environmental Due Diligence: Transaction Screen
Process
ASTM Standard E1527-05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site
Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process.
These documents provide a systematic framework for identification of real property
environmental concerns that includes an environmental review process, visual site
inspection, and interviews with personnel who have knowledge of the building and
associated past and present activities.
2.1 Approach and Rationale
This EBS considered the following sources of information concerning environmentally
significant current and past uses of the affected properties:
Detailed search and review of available information and records in the possession
of the U.S. Army pertinent to assessing the environmental condition of the
property. Relevant information and records included study and survey information
relating to planning, building design, historical contamination investigations, and
surveys for asbestos, lead-based paint (LBP), radon, and polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs).
Federal and state databases listing releases of hazardous substances and other
environmental data related to the subject properties.
Historical aerial photographs to aid in documenting the past uses of the properties.
Interviews with past and current employees who have knowledge of past and
present activities and projects on the subject properties.
Visual inspections of the affected property included buildings, structures,
equipment, utilities, or other improvements.
Visual inspection of properties immediately adjacent to the affected property
including sewer lines; runoff patterns; evidence of environmental impacts such as
stained soil, stressed vegetation and wildlife; and other observations that indicate
actual or potential releases of hazardous or petroleum products.
Existing data on contaminants were considered in the evaluation of air, soil, groundwater,
surface water, and sediment. The sources of contamination considered in this EBS
included hazardous materials/waste, lead [including lead-based paint (LBP) and lead in
drinking water], solid waste, PCBs, leakage from aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and
underground storage tanks (USTs), asbestos, petroleum spills, wastewater treatment and
discharge, pesticides, radon, ordnance disposal waste (conventional explosive ordnance,
chemical agents, and biological agents), biomedical waste, stationary air sources,
radioactive waste, photochemical waste, paints, solvents, and lubricants. This EBS is
Environmental Baseline Survey 5

MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
based on information collected in the course of record searches, interviews, and visual
inspections performed within a reasonable and practical timeframe. It is possible that
unavailable or undisclosed information might indicate environmental concerns relating to
the subject properties that were otherwise not apparent to the preparers of this EBS.
Although every effort was made to collect and analyze accessible information, additional
information that might affect the conclusions presented in the EBS could become
available over time.
2.1.1 Description of Documents Reviewed
The records search included all relevant and reasonable available records, reports,
permits, procedures, plans and maps maintained at the facility or available through
Federal or state databases. Table 1 lists documents and databases that were reviewed

2.1.2 Property Survey
The list of housing units requesting environmental survey was provided by 49th
MDB
Command personnel. Surveillance team of Mr. Randy Gallien and Mr. Glen Shonkwiler
(sometimes together, sometimes separate) from USASMDC/ARSTRAT were escorted by
one 49th
MDB representative during the inspection process (CPT Scott Monson, SGT
Jason Martin, and SPC Stephen Bearor each participated in some of the inspections).
Inspections were completed on September 20-21, 2007. Units were only inspected if an
occupant was home and entrance into the house was granted by the occupant.
Prior to entrance, records on the latest asbestos and radon surveys were reviewed to
determine possible issues to address during survey and discussions. Facilities built after
1980 (Bldg 711 and 900 series housing) do not have lead-based paint (LBP) and asbestos
thermal system insulation concerns like the remaining 700 and 800 series housing (LBP
and asbestos were common building materials prior to 1980). However, asbestos-
containing materials could still be present in newer constructions since asbestos has not
been banned as a building material (although usage has been limited by common industry
practices). On the other hand, lead-based paint has been banned.
In general, the inspections consisted of condition surveys of piping insulation (primarily
focused on asbestos thermal system insulation condition), visual identification of
evidence of past spills, visual identification of evidence of other historical activities
beyond current usage, and a discussion & question/answer session (and visual inspection
of issue if warranted) with the occupant regarding housing concerns related to (with
primary message in parentheses):
recent announcement of discovery of elevated lead in some portions of the post
drinking water distribution system (run faucet for 30-60 seconds before taking
water for consumption)
radon (sample results generally show radon not an issue across the post,
mitigation units installed where radon was a concern)
asbestos (present in most 700 and 800 series housing, but not a hazard when kept
in good condition….report damage to housing office so it can be repaired)

before 1980…paint over peeling paint and clean up paint chips to eliminate
children’s exposure)
other issues as brought up by occupant
Facilities inspected included:
Bldg 609 (49th HQ)
Bldg 635 (Motor Pool offices)
Bldg 661 (offices and Battalion Aid Station)
Housing (facility inspections only as access allowed – at 36 units)
o 700 Series Housing (708B)
o 800 Series Housing (812C/D/E/F/G/H, 813A/F, 814H, 816D/F, 817D/H,
818H, 820A/F/G, 833C/D, 834C/G/H, 835B/C/F/H, & 851C)
o 900 Series Housing (911A, 913A, 917, 920, 936A, 938A, 952B, 954B)
o Eight additional housing units attempted, but no one home during multiple
attempts to gain access (711, 814E, 816E, 820E, 833B, 834B, 835E,
952A)
Issues at the inspected houses included the following:
Two houses noted with potential mold issues in the basement. The battalion
medic (SGT Fernando Sangco) also requested a mold inspection of an additional
unit in relation to a child's health investigation currently underway.
USASMDC/ARSTRAT requested Fort Greely DPW to schedule mold
inspections.
Multiple houses requested drinking water samples due to the recent post drinking
water samples containing lead above the action level. Many of these requested
samples were pulled during the period of survey (September 20-21, 2007) and all
sample collection was completed over the weekend of September 22/23, 2007.
Several units had service orders placed to repair damage to suspected asbestos
thermal system (piping) insulation.
Other side issues being investigated by DPW at request of
USASMDC/ARSTRAT include:
o Several units mentioned work orders that had been placed some time ago
and had not been completed.
o Several units mentioned asbestos sampling completed some time ago but
they had not been notified of results.
o Several units reported freezing/clogging of radon mitigation vent pipes
(one unit requested a radon resample).

o Several units reported "disgusting" carpet that they would like
replaced/removed.
o One unit reported soldier's wife had been sick since she had moved into
the present unit (little over a month). This item was reported to 49th
MDB
Command for monitoring.
o One unit pointed out what he said was outdated, unsafe electrical wiring in
basement floor joists. Fort Greely DPW asked to investigate.
o Several units requested information on lead-based paint in their units.
Overall, the housing units and the offices were generally in good environmental condition
and are suitable for their intended purpose and do not pose a health risk to the occupants.
Many of the facilities were built before 1980s, and these facilities have lead-based paint
and asbestos-containing materials. These items are not a threat to human health as long
as they are kept in good condition. The garrison has a suitable program in place to advise
new residents on the presence of these materials, precautions to take when living amongst
these materials, and where to get assistance if necessary. Damage to suspected lead-
based paint or asbestos should be immediately reported to the Fort Greely Directorate of
Public Works (DPW) Environmental Office.
In general, the residents welcomed the opportunity to discuss environmental concerns.
The residents, in general, are not overly worried about the drinking water lead issues (a
few were, and requested drinking water samples be collected for testing….but most
weren't). The resident’s level of concern is due to a number of reasons including:
garrison explained situation thoroughly at the 9/14/07 and 11/6/07 community
meeting and are taking appropriate actions,
some occupant(s) didn't drink the water anyway because the water was
already perceived as “bad", or
some occupant(s) already had a point of use filter on taps used for
cooking/consumption.

Fort Greely Environmental Office in areas of Hazardous Waste, Contaminated
Sites Cleanup, Stormwater Pollution Control, and other areas
Beverly Cannon, Teledyne Systems, Inc. - environmental contractor
supporting Fort Greely Environmental Office in Drinking Water Quality and
other areas
The Fort Greely Environmental Office is manned with a contractor staff that has
considerable environmental expertise and is a valuable resource for providing
information on environmental-related and contaminant-related questions/concerns. The
Environmental Office is manned full time by the Environmental Manager, Mr. Dan
Miller, and by an additional environmental contractor. Most of the year, the second
person is Mr. Norman Lovelace. Other times, personnel from Teledyne Solutions, Inc.
rotate in temporarily to provide specific expertise as required. Mr. Miller has a Master’s
Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and has
been the Environmental Manager at Fort Greely for the past three years. Mr. Lovelace
has more than 30 years of environmental compliance and management experience,
including 27 years working for the Environmental Protection Agency as the EPA
Environmental Manager for the Pacific Island territories, trusteeship areas, and freely
associated states. The environmental office is an excellent resource for information on
asbestos, radon, lead-based paint, drinking water quality, and contaminants that may be
encountered on Fort Greely. Fort Greely environmental office had recently established a
recycling program in which residents are encouraged to support. The environmental
office can be reached at 907-873-1215/3105 and is located on the second floor of
Building 603. Any spills of hazardous materials or petroleum products should be
reported to the Fort Greely Fire Department at 907-873-3473 immediately.
2.1.4 Sampling
Sampling was not conducted as part of the EBS. However, the Fort Greely DPW office
was requested to complete mold sampling at three units in response to visual observations
or requests from 49th
MDB medic. The mold sampling had been completed at two of the
three locations at the time of completion of this report. Both sampled locations showed
indoor air mold levels to be comparable to outdoor mold levels.

3.0 Findings For Subject Properties
3.1 History and Current Use
All of the buildings occupied by the 49th
MDB have been owned by the U.S. Army since
their construction. Therefore, no title search was performed.
Bldg 609
Building 609 was built in 1955 to house the administration offices for the Cold Regions
Test Center (CRTC). The two-story building measures 32 feet by 116 feet in plan,
contains approximately 8,000 square feet of usable office space, and has a concrete
foundation, concrete and concrete block walls, and a flat built-up roof. Building 609
currently functions as the headquarters facility for the 49th
MDB. Short-term (72 hr)
radon sampling results in 2004 revealed radon levels all below the EPA action level of
4.0 pCi/L, indicating radon does not appear to be a concern in Building 609. The
building is known to have asbestos-containing materials, including: magnesia block pipe
insulation, aircell pipe insulation, 6-inch square floor tile, 9-inch square floor tile, and 12-
inch square floor tile, acoustic tiles, sheetrock, joint compound and mastic. A brief
condition survey was made of a representative sample of exposed asbestos-containing
materials (primarily thermal system insulation), and the ACM in Building 609 appears to
be in good condition. See the front cover for an exterior picture of Building 609.
Facilities adjacent to Building 609 have a number of known areas of possible hazardous
material disposal and spills, including:
Drywell located adjacent to CRTC Building 608 (NW of Building 609). The
drywell is presumed to still be in place under an oil/water separator.
Located adjacent to Building 609 on the west side is the current diesel power
plant and former nuclear reactor complex (Building 606). The nuclear reactor
complex is discussed in the Section 3.10. Over the years, there have been
numerous petroleum spills at the power plant in relation to spills and leaks
from the transfer of fuel between the power plant, the
Petroleum/Oils/Lubricants (POL) Storage Facility (located north of Building
606), and the various underground storage tanks in the power plant complex.
Additionally, recent air quality modeling and regulation changes have resulted
in the need for a higher stack at the power plant and an extension of the
perimeter fence.
Building 609 has always served only as an administration building, and has never
contained any laboratories or other testing facilities. CRTC testing took place at field
locations. Known petroleum and radioactive contaminants at nearby buildings are not
mobile, are being managed/remediated in place, and do not pose a threat to the human
health of occupants in Building 609 (see Section 3.10 for details on the continuous
surveillance of the former reactor).

Fort Greely, Alaska
Bldg 634
Building 634 is the motor pool garage for the 49th
MDB. The building was constructed in
2004 and has served this sole purpose. Radon sampling in 2004 showed all samples
below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g, indicating radon does appear to be an issue in this
structure. The facility does not contain any known asbestos. The facility has a 1000-
gallon diesel above ground storage tank (AST) on the north side of the building. The
gravel parking lot has had three reported spills since the construction of the facility:
Less than a gallon of Petroleum, Oils, and/or Lubricants (POL) spilled on May
16, 2005. The spill cleanup included the excavation and disposal of 0.25
cubic yards (CY).
Less than two gallons of hydraulic fluid spilled on May 23, 2005, in the
parking lot near NE corner of the building. Spill cleanup included the
excavation and disposal of 2 CY of soil.
Less than five gallons of gasoline spilled on June 18, 2007 from a broken fuel
line on a generator. Spill cleanup included the excavation and disposal of
approximately 2 CY of petroleum contaminated soil.
Building 634
Bldg 635
Built in 1982, this building originally housed a weather station and a portion is still used
for that purpose. The building also houses the administrative offices for the 49th
MDB
motor pool. The building measures 32 feet by 125 feet in plan, contains approximately
4,000 square feet of usable space, and the interior includes a two-car garage (currently
used for storage). The building has a concrete foundation/floor/walls, metal siding
covering the walls, and an asphalt shingle roof. Radon sampling in 2004 showed all
samples below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g, indicating radon does appear to be an
issue in this structure. The building is known to contain asbestos-containing materials,
including: 12-inch square floor tile, sheetrock joint compound, cove base, and mastic
(adhesive). Helium for weather balloons was stored adjacent to the building during its
history. Four Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB)-containing transformers were stored in
Building 635 from 1982 to 1984. Four drums of potentially PCB-contaminated material
were also stored at this facility. All PCB materials are believed to have been properly

removed. An abandoned septic system and leach field are believed to still be in place
east of the building. The building formerly had an aboveground storage tank (AST) with
a capacity of 660 gallons of fuel oil.
Building 635
Bldg 661
Building 661 was built in 1954 as an enlisted barracks. The building includes a mess hall
(Ballistic Bistro on first floor) and several other tenants in addition to the 49th
MDB. The
49th
MDB uses the building for the battalion first aid station (first floor) and for
administrative offices (basement). The building is an irregular L-shape with the two
wings measuring 46 feet by 174 feet and 37 feet by 76 feet (exterior dimensions). The
building contains approximately 43,000 square feet of usable space, has a concrete
foundation and floors, concrete block walls, and a flat, built-up roof. Radon sampling in
2004 showed all samples below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g, indicating radon does
appear to be an issue in this structure. The building is known to have asbestos-containing
materials, including: magnesia block pipe insulation, aircell pipe insulation, pipe gasket,
9-inch and 12-inch square floor tile, acoustic tiles, transite paneling (transite consists of
Portland cement mixed with asbestos), sheetrock joint compound, cove base, carpet panel
and mastic. A 300-gallon underground storage tank (UST) was reportedly pulled from
the adjacent Building 660, but no records of closure or removal exist.

Bldg 662
Building 662 was built in 1977 as an enlisted barracks and still serves that purpose for the
49th
MDB. The building has a concrete foundation, concrete walls over wood framing,
and a concrete flat roof. The building contains approximately 41,000 square feet of
usable space. Radon sampling in 2004 showed all samples below the EPA action level of
4 pCi/g, indicating radon does appear to be an issue in this structure. The building is
known to have asbestos-containing materials, including: magnesia block pipe insulation,
12-inch square floor tile, linoleum, and mastic. There was one reported spill of
transmission fluid (2-3 gallons) in the parking lot on April 23, 2007. The spill was
cleaned up with absorbents, containerized, and disposed properly off-post. A UST was
pulled from the adjacent Building 663 in August 2007 and sampling indicated no
contamination above State of Alaska cleanup guidelines was present.
Building 662
Bldgs 705 – 709
Buildings 705 – 709 are duplex (A and B units) Army Family Housing (AFH) facilities
built in 1962. Each unit contains approximately 3,000 square feet of living space. Radon
sampling in 2004 showed all samples below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g, indicating
radon does appear to be an issue in these structures. The units are known to have
asbestos containing materials, primarily magnesia block pipe insulation in the basements.

Bldg 711
Building 711 is a single-family Army Family Housing unit built in 1985. Short-term
radon sampling in 2004 showed one sample near the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g (the
result was 3.9 pCi/g). Long-term follow-up testing (approximately 60 days for sample
collection) results in 2006 were well below the EPA action level, indicating radon is not a
concern in this unit. There is no known asbestos in this unit.
Bldgs 812 – 814, 816 – 818
Buildings 812-818 are six 8-plex (units A through H) Army Family Housing facilities
built in 1954 and 1955. The 8-plexes contain approximately 16,500 – 17,500 square feet
of usable space and contain a central mechanical room. Radon sampling in 2004 showed
45 of the 48 units with sample results below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g,. The
remaining three units had follow-up longer term (7 day) sampling in 2005, with all results
below the EPA action level. The testing indicates radon does not appear to be an issue in
these structures. These structures have asbestos-containing materials, primarily magnesia
block thermal system (piping) insulation in the basements and mechanical room.
Bldgs 820 & 822
Buildings 820 and 822 are two 8-plex (units A through H) Army Family Housing
facilities built in 1957 (820 has only one AFH unit and seven Unaccompanied Personnel
Housing unit). The 8-plexes contain approximately 18,400 square feet of usable space
and contain a central mechanical room. Short-term (three day) radon sampling in 2004
showed 9 of the 16 units with sample results above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g.
Follow-up long-term (7 or 60 days) sampling in these 9 units were all below the EPA
radon action level. This series of testing indicates radon does not appear to be an issue in
these structures. These structures are known to have asbestos-containing materials,
primarily magnesia block thermal system (piping) insulation in the basements and
mechanical room.

built in 1957. Each 8-plex contains from 18,500 square feet of usable space and contains
a central mechanical room. Short-term (72-hour) radon sampling in 2004 showed 23 of
24 samples below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/g. Longer-term (7 day) follow-up
sampling in 2005 in the remaining unit also showed radon below the EPA action level.
This series of testing indicates radon does appear to be an issue in these structures. These
facilities are known to have asbestos-containing materials, primarily magnesia block
thermal system (piping) insulation in the basements and mechanical room.
Bldgs 855, 862 – 864, 887 – 889, 895 – 896
Buildings 855, 862 – 864, 887-889, and 895-896 are nine 8-plex (units A through H)
Army Family Housing facilities built in 1962-1964. Each 8-plex contains approximately
12,100 – 17,000 square feet of usable space and contains a central mechanical room.
Short-term (72 hour) radon sampling in 2004 showed all samples below the EPA action
level of 4 pCi/L, indicating radon does appear to be an issue in these structures. These
facilities are known to have asbestos-containing materials, primarily magnesia block
thermal system (piping) insulation in the basements and mechanical room. A five-gallon
spill of gasoline on concrete was reported at 864B in 1991. The spill was cleaned up with
absorbents.
Bldgs 910 – 931, 934 – 935 (even numbers = housing units, odd numbers = garage)
The 900 series housing is single family or duplex Army Family Housing built in 1985.
The single family units range from 2,000 to 2,800 square feet. The duplex units range up
to 5,600 square feet. Short-term (72 hour) radon sampling in 2004 showed all samples
but one below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Follow-up longer term (7 day) sampling
in 2005 in this remaining unit was below the EPA action level. This series of sample
results indicate radon does appear to be an issue in these structures. These units do not
have any known asbestos-containing materials.

Fort Greely, Alaska
3.2 Environmental Setting
Fort Greely is located in the Fairbanks recording district in the interior of Alaska,
approximately 100 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, and 5 miles south of the
community of Delta Junction, Alaska. Fort Greely is bounded on the west by Richardson
Highway, on the east by Jarvis Creek, and surrounded on all sides by the U.S. Army
Donnelly Training Range (former training ranges of Fort Greely transferred under Base
Realignment And Closure [BRAC] to Fort Wainwright, Alaska). The former Fort Greely
included approximately 662,000 acres. The current downsized Fort Greely is
approximately 7,000 acres (see Figure 3 on the previous page for the past and present
boundaries of Fort Greely). The majority of the Fort Greely main cantonment area was
slated for closure (with ranges being transferred to Fort Wainwright) under the Base
Realignment and Closure Program in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2002, the Army
decided to retain Fort Greely as the location for the Missile Defense Agency’s
deployment of interceptors for the Ground-based Mid-course Defense system. The site
occupied by Fort Greely sits at the base of the Alaska Range (Alaska Range immediately
to the south of Fort Greely), near the head of the Tanana River valley, in an area
originally dominated by wetlands and sub-boreal forest. The downsized Fort Greely is
located on a relatively flat terrace, between the Delta River and Jarvis Creek. The
subsurface consists of a thick alluvial soils deposited through the repeated transgression
and regression of alpine glaciers emerging from the Alaska Range. The general
vegetation and hydrogeology are typical of a river valley setting in interior Alaska.
Climate
Fort Greely has a climate typical of the Interior Basin of Alaska. The climate is
characterized by extreme seasonal variations in temperature and by low total precipitation
(see Table 2 on the next page for average/maximum/minimum temperatures and
precipitation). Low precipitation and low rainfall intensity has the following beneficial
results which limit the spread of contaminants from spills:
limiting erosion of soil and sediment into surface water through runoff
limiting the downward migration of contaminants in the soil column and inhibits
these contaminants from reaching groundwater aquifers
Additionally, relatively higher wind velocities at Fort Greely can cause increased dust
production and release of gases from soil contaminants. Winds aid in rapidly transferring
volatile components from the surface soil to the air, causing the components to be
dispersed and diluted. The older the spill, the less likely volatile compounds will remain
in the surface soils.
Regional Geology
Fort Greely is situated in the eastern reaches of the Tanana-Kuskokwim Lowland of the
Western Alaskan Province of the Intermontane Plateaus. The Tanana-Kuskokwim
Lowland is a broad depression bordering the north side of the Alaska Range. Crystalline
bedrock in most of the area has a thick sediment overlay deposited when glaciers from
the Alaska Range advanced during the Pleistocene Era. To the north of Fort Greely,
between the Delta River and Clearwater Lake, the depth to bedrock has been estimated to
Environmental Baseline Survey 19
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
exceed 2,500 feet. The maximum depth of groundwater supply wells in the project area
is approximately 400 feet below ground surface (bgs). Landforms in the vicinity of Fort
Greely include coalescing alluvial fans, moraines, and river flood plains. The Fort Greely
cantonment is located on a low alluvial terrace that has a gently undulating surface. This
terrace is composed of glacial outwash deposits that are reportedly underlain by till,
which in turn are underlain by older stratified gravel. The glacial-fluvial sediments
consist primarily of fine to coarse gravel with sand and contain beds and lenses of sand
and silt. As glaciers withdrew from the area during the most recent regression, silt left
behind from the flooding of Delta River and Jarvis Creek was picked up by the wind and
deposited to form a mantle of loess and organic silt across the Tanana Valley, including
Fort Greely. The loess ranges from several inches thick to greater than 5-feet thick.

3.3 Hazardous Substances
3.3.1 Hazardous Materials and Petroleum Products
The 49th
MDB has small quantities of petroleum products, cleaning supplies,
maintenance materials, and other hazardous materials at the motor pool and office
buildings. Personnel from the 49th
MDB have small quantities of various household
hazardous materials at the various residences (petroleum, solvents, cleaning supplies,
etc.).
3.3.2 Hazardous and Petroleum Waste
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulates the handling, transport,
storage, treatment, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Under RCRA, the
hazardous waste generator is responsible for training, inspection, waste identification and
analysis, emergency response planning, and record keeping. Fort Greely is not a RCRA
permitted treatment, storage, and/or disposal facility, but manages hazardous waste as a
small quantity generator. Hazardous and petroleum wastes are managed and properly
disposed by the Fort Greely DPW office. During the visual site inspection, no hazardous
wastes were discovered. No signs of improper hazardous waste handling or disposal
were discovered. Records of previous hazardous or petroleum spills at the 49th
MDB or
adjacent facilities are included with the facility descriptions in Section 3.1.
3.4 Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and Compliance Cleanup (CC) Program
(Cleanup of Contaminated Sites)
None of the subject 49th
MDB facilities are part of an IRP or CC Site. However, several
IRP or CC sites are located in close proximity to 49th
MDB facilities (particularly, the
Building 606 diesel power plant and former nuclear reactor). The Army has two
programs for cleaning up contaminants from past spills and operations. In general, the
IRP sites have contaminants that are regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, also known as Superfund) and
cover sites with contamination from activities or operations prior to 1986. The
Compliance Cleanup Program covers all contaminated sites not covered under the IRP.
The Fort Greely DPW office has an aggressive cleanup program and maintains a
Restoration Advisory Board (RAB). The RAB consists of community members who
advise Fort Greely on community preferences for the prioritization of cleanup activities.
The RAB consists of a community co-chair, a military co-chair, and additional
community members (currently seven additional members). The RAB meetings are held
approximately once every 3-4 months and are open to the public. The meetings are
announced in both local and Fairbanks’ newspapers. Fort Greely maintains an
information repository at the RAB website located at www.smdcen.us/rabfga. The
website contains historical documents of Fort Greely’s investigation, remediation, and
community relations activities. The website is a significant source of information on the
cleanup activities at Fort Greely over the past 15 years.

Fort Greely, Alaska
Fort Greely has pursued an aggressive and proactive approach to investigate and
remediate known contamination from past operations.
Fort Greely has closed 73 of 132 known contaminated sites with concurrence from the
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Of the remaining 59 sites,
those that pose the highest threat (or potential threat) to human health or the environment
receive the highest priority for funding. However, all of the remaining sites are
considered low risk sites (based on the Army's Relative Risk screening
criteria). Remediation has either been completed, has been partially completed, is
currently on-going, or is planned in the near future at the most significant sites. These
sites include the former petroleum storage areas at the South Tank Farm, the current
petroleum storage area north of Building 606, the former nuclear reactor complex, the
former fire-fighter training areas near the airfield, and the refuse burn pit. Successful site
remediation activities in the last two years have included:
the remediation of approximately 20,000 cubic yards of diesel and gasoline
contaminated soils at the South Tank Farm by bioremediation (project still on-
going), and
working in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation to remediate the North Delta Tank Farm located in Delta Junction,
AK (former Army fuel transfer station).
None of the IRP or CC sites pose a threat to the normal daily activities of the members of
the 49th
MDB or their families. Access to these contaminated sites is restricted through a
dig permit process (most contaminants are underground and require digging to be
exposed). Notification signs are also posted at these sites to prevent unintentional access.
Access to the former nuclear reactor complex is prevented by a fenced compound and
sealed entryways to the former reactor facility. Figure 4 has the locations of all known
(both open and closed) contaminated sites at the down-sized Fort Greely.
3.5 Storage Tanks
3.5.1 Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs)
The management of ASTs is governed by an integrated Oil Discharge Prevention and
Contingency Plan/Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan known as the
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The only 49th
MDB facility with an AST is
Building 634 as previously discussed in Section 3.1.
3.5.2 Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)
USTs are regulated under RCRA standards and corrective action requirements for owners
and operators of USTs. There are no USTs associated with 49th
MDB facilities. Some of
the USTs at adjacent facilities have been removed and closed in compliance with RCRA
regulations. USTs remain in operation at the Building 606 Diesel Power Plant.

3.5.3 Pipelines, Hydrant Fueling, and Transfer Systems
There are no pipelines, hydrant fueling, or transfer systems at 49th
MDB facilities.
Pipelines, hydrant fueling facilities, and transfer systems have existed at Fort Greely
during its history of operation. Cleanup of spills from these historical operations
continues under the Installation Restoration Program and the Compliance Cleanup
Program (See Section 3.4 for general discussion of these programs).
3.6 Oil/Water Separators
The only 49th
MDB facility with an oil/water separator (OWS) is the Bldg 634 Motor
Pool. The OWS discharges into Fort Greely’s wastewater treatment system and it is
serviced (sludge removed) twice a year by a Fort Greely DPW contractor. During the
most recent servicing, the sludge from the OWS tested high for halogenated compounds.
Fort Greely DPW has re-sampled and is awaiting the return of analytical testing.
Halogenated compounds are typically indicative of chlorinated solvents being dumped
into the OWS. If the re-sample results are also high for halogenated compounds, the 49th
MDB should investigate the hazardous materials being utilized in the Motor Pool to
determine the source of the chlorinated compounds and eliminate these materials (or,
another possible source might be 49th
personnel bringing in household wastes for
disposal). The presence of halogenated compounds prevents the sludge from being
recycled and greatly increases disposal costs. Surfactants (soap) should also not be
discharged to the OWS as it can inhibit the removal of oils prior to discharge to the
wastewater system.
3.7 Pesticides
Herbicides and pesticides may have been used over the years at the 49th
MDB facilities
for routine grounds and building maintenance. However, no records or evidence of
mishandling, release, or disposal of pesticides/herbicides within, or immediately adjacent
to, 49th
MDB facilities were discovered. No pesticide-related contamination or unusually
stressed vegetation was observed at the subject properties.
Fort Greely still uses pesticides and/or herbicides as necessary for grounds and facility
maintenance. However, the solutions of pesticides and/or herbicides are mixed off post
and only applied by licensed contractors. These practices limit the potential for spills or
misapplication of these chemicals.
3.8 Medical or Biohazardous Waste
The 49th
MDB generates a small amount of medical waste from the battalion first aid
station in Building 661. These medical wastes are periodically picked up by personnel
from Fort Wainwright’s Bassett Army Community Hospital (BACH), transported back to
BACH, and disposed of properly.

3.9 Conventional and Chemical Weapons Ordnance
No evidence of the improper disposal of conventional or non-conventional ordnance in
the main cantonment area at Fort Greely has been discovered. There are a couple of
known former conventional ordnance disposal areas on the current Fort Greely (both near
the end of the airfield near Jarvis Creek). Both of these known former areas had
munitions that were temporarily buried, but later removed and properly disposed at Fort
Wainwright. Fort Greely’s former ranges (now Fort Wainwright’s Donnelly Training
Areas) are still active ranges and unexploded ordnance or munitions debris could be
encountered by personnel on these ranges.
Additionally some of Fort Greely’s outer ranges were sites for non-conventional weapons
testing during the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Chemical weapons were tested at the former
Gerstle River Test Area approximately 20 miles east of the current Fort Greely.
Chemical munitions are known to still be buried in two fenced burial locations on the
Gerstle River Test Area. U.S. Army Alaska (Fort Wainwright and Fort Richardson)
manages the IRP cleanup program for the Gerstle River Test Area (and also maintains a
RAB). During the testing period in the mid-to-late 1960’s, munitions were left on the ice
during the winter at Blueberry Lake at the Gerstle River Test Area. When the ice thawed,
the munitions fell to the bottom of the lake. The lake was later drained and the chemical
weapons and chemical contamination was removed.
Fort Greely’s Delta Creek Test Area (approximately 20 miles west of the current Fort
Greely) was the site of a biological agent test in the 1960’s. The biological agent tested
causes tularemia, which is commonly known as “rabbit fever.”
Both the chemical agents and the biological agents break down in the environment and
only the buried ordnance locations at the Gerstle River Test Area would remain a hazard
after forty years (but only in the vicinity of these wastes). The biological and chemical
agent testing pose no threat to the human health of 49th
MDB personnel or their families
on the current down-sized Fort Greely. See Figure 3 for the locations of the Gerstle
River Test Area and the Delta Creek Test Area in relation to the current down-sized Fort
Greely.
During the construction of the ground-based, midcourse defense, interceptor missile field
in 2002, a former chemical agent decontamination and demilitarization area was
discovered south of the Missile Defense Complex and south of Firebreak Road. A
number of crushed and punctured drums were discovered surrounded by corrosively
contaminated soils. The contaminants were determined to be the decontamination agents
used to clean barrels that previously held chemical agents. It was determined that these
drums had been brought back from the Gerstle River Test Area after removal of the
agents. It is also known that chemical agent was temporarily stored near the Fort Greely
main cantonment prior to transport to the Gerstle River Test Site for testing. No evidence
of chemical agent contamination has been discovered at or near the current down-sized
Fort Greely.

3.10 Radioactive Wastes and SM-1A Nuclear Reactor
The former nuclear reactor at the Building 606 fenced compound comprises 4 of the
remaining Installation Restoration Program sites (discussed in Section 3.4) and has been
the subject of several remedial (cleanup) operations. The nuclear reactor was operational
from 1962 to 1972. During its operation, two different wastewater (radioactive)
discharge processes were utilized.
From 1962-1968, wastewater was piped from the reactor complex through a wastewater
discharge line to a Dilution Well facility. At the Dilution Well facility, groundwater from
the aquifer was brought to the surface and mixed with reactor wastewater until the
wastewater met Atomic Energy Commission (predecessor of today’s Department of
Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission) discharge requirements, and then the
diluted wastewater was discharged to Jarvis Creek.
Due to numerous breaks and spills in the wastewater pipeline, this process was replaced
with a wastewater treatment process at the reactor complex in 1968. Using a
condensation process, radioactive contaminants were removed from the wastewater at the
reactor complex and the concentrated contaminants were shipped to the lower 48 states
for disposal. The wastewater with contaminants removed was then injected into the
aquifer at the Recharge Well.
The reactor complex was partially decommissioned in 1972-1973 which included
removal of the reactor fuel (and shipment back to U.S. Department of Energy in the
lower 48 states), removal of the highest contaminated materials (with disposal in the
lower 48 states), and entombment of the contaminated structure (along with entombment
of contaminated soils removed from the reactor complex grounds). The entombed
structure has been the subject of continuous monitoring with annual surveillance
summary reports posted to the RAB website.
Monitoring of the entombed former reactor includes continuous monitoring through the
use of dosimeters (with annual collection and data analysis), collection of soil samples
from below the former reactor complex to confirm no migration of contaminants, and
analysis of air filters in the void spaces between the entombed reactor structure and the
outer containment wall. Annual surveillance of the former reactor complex has shown no
risks to the Fort Greely workforce or the general public exceeding Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) guidelines or regulations for safe exposure limits.
Furthermore, the reactor's wastewater discharge line and the dilution water supply well
were remediated (by removal and subsequent disposal of contaminated materials in the
lower 48 states) in 1999. This removal included some sampling of Jarvis Creek which
revealed no contaminants that posed a risk to human health or the environment. The
closure reports are located on the RAB website (as administrative record documents
AR101, AR102, AR109, AR110, and AR111) at
http://www.smdcen.us/rabfga/docs/adminrecords.aspx

MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recently began the process to complete the
final decommissioning of the nuclear reactor. Although the decommissioning will be a
long process, USACE began the historical archive searches and information gathering
activities during the summer of 2007 to begin preparing a workplan to assess all
remaining hazards from the operation of the nuclear reactor. Results from the hazard
assessment will be used in the future to prepare final decommissioning alternatives for
the reactor. These alternatives will be analyzed and released for public comment using
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.
Currently, there is no known radioactive contamination above safe drinking water levels
in groundwater at or in the vicinity of Fort Greely. Groundwater monitoring wells on
Fort Greely were analyzed for radionuclide constituents and/or gross radioactivity
numerous times between 1973 and 2003. The only known actions that could have
potentially contaminated the groundwater were associated with two aspects of the
historical operation of the nuclear reactor:
1. A small amount of radioactive contaminated sediment
was discovered in the well casing of the dilution water supply well. As discussed above,
this water supply well was dedicated to the former reactor complex and used from 1962-
1968 to dilute coolant wastewater prior to discharge to Jarvis Creek. This well was not
used to inject waste into the aquifer, and the contaminated sediment would have resulted
in wastes from the mixing station at the surface accidentally falling into the well. The
contaminated sediment was remediated in 1999 and subsequent groundwater sampling
indicated the groundwater met safe drinking water criteria.
2. In 1968, the wastewater dilution and discharge to Jarvis Creek was changed
to wastewater treatment of the coolant water, disposal of concentrated radioactive wastes
in the lower 48 states, and discharge of treated coolant wastewater to the aquifer using the
recharge well. It is now known that the wastewater treatment process would not have
removed tritium from the discharge water. Sampling of the recharge well during the
1999 remedial action indicated the well was not contaminated and the aquifer met safe
drinking water requirements.
During the cleanup of the dilution well, several hypothetical, but potential, pathways (at
the dilution well and at the recharge well) for releases to groundwater during the
operation of the reactor were modeled using a fate and transport groundwater software
model. The purpose of the model was to determine if the aquifer could still be impacted
25 years after the operation of the reactor. Modeling results for hypothetical reasonable
scenarios for migration of contamination to the aquifer indicated the contaminants would
have naturally attenuated over time (and would not have migrated past U.S. Army
boundaries) and the groundwater would meet safe drinking water criteria at the time of
the modeling effort. Based on the modeling results and many years of groundwater
sampling (with results showing the aquifer meets radionuclide requirements for safe
drinking water), groundwater sampling for radionuclides was discontinued in many of the
Fort Greely groundwater monitoring wells in 2003. Fort Greely does, however, still
Environmental Baseline Survey 27
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
continue to periodically monitor drinking water wells for radionuclides as required by
state and federal drinking water requirements.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) completed a Health
Consultation in 1998 in response to a request from the Fort Greely RAB and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate any potential health threat from the
disposal of the liquid radioactive wastes into the aquifer. The Health Consultation can be
found at: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/hac/pha/greely/gre_toc.html
ATSDR concluded there was "little likelihood that consumption of water from these
sources (nearby drinking water wells) would comprise a public health hazard." ATSDR,
however, did recommend sampling of the former reactor wells and downgradient
drinking water wells for radionuclides. The 1999 sampling and modeling discussed
above was in response to the ATSDR 1998 Health Consultation. ATSDR recommended
one round of sampling. The Army completed many rounds of groundwater well
sampling from 1999-2003. Results confirmed the aquifer met safe drinking water
requirements.
3.11 Solid Waste
Solid waste is non-hazardous garbage, refuse, sludge, and any other discarded material
resulting from residential, commercial, and industrial activities.
Solid waste generated at the 49th
MDB facilities is removed by a Fort Greely DPW
contractor. The wastes are segregated into recyclables, combustible wastes, and non-
combustible wastes. Combustible wastes are incinerated on-post and the ash, along with
the non-combustible wastes, are landfilled at the post landfill south of Firebreak Road.
The records review, site inspections, and interviews revealed no evidence of current or
past solid waste management practices at the 49th
MDB facilities that would have resulted
in a release of hazardous substances, petroleum products, or solid waste other than that
already described in Section 3.1.
3.12 Groundwater
Groundwater in the area around Fort Greely is known to exist in perched water zones and
in an underlying unconfined aquifer. The unconfined aquifer is used as the drinking
water source for Fort Greely. The depth to groundwater ranges from 175 feet to over 250
feet bgs, depending on location, and can exhibit seasonal variations from 20 to 40 feet. A
hydraulic gradient of 0.001 to 0.004 was calculated with flow direction to the northeast
between the main cantonment and old post.
The regional aquifer that underlies Fort Greely is bordered on the south by the Alaska
Range, the source of most of its recharge. Local groundwater recharge from snowmelt
and precipitation has been estimated at one inch per year (extremely low amounts of
precipitation migrate all the way to the groundwater aquifer and most moisture
Environmental Baseline Survey 28
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
evaporates or is retained in the soil column). Stream flow data for Jarvis Creek and the
Delta River indicate that both are losing streams near Fort Greely, indicating that the
aquifer is also locally recharged from surface water (although probably insignificant
compared to the recharge from glaciers in the Alaska Range).
Fort Greely is in an area of interior Alaska where discontinuous permafrost is typical.
Review of drilling records for boreholes and wells covering much of Fort Greely have not
yielded any evidence of permafrost. The physical setting at Fort Wainwright is similar to
Fort Greely and permafrost has been shown to degrade rather quickly once the trees and
original organic mat were removed at Fort Wainwright. It is possible that permafrost
once existed beneath areas of Fort Greely, and has melted in areas that have been cleared
and developed.
Fort Greely Water Supply Well #12 was test pumped in November, 1959, at a rate of
1,500 gallons per minute. The test results were used to calculate a hydraulic conductivity
of approximately 2,019 gallons per day/square foot. The estimated transmissivity is
consistent with a thick, coarse, unconsolidated, alluvial aquifer. Recent permeability data
collected in the vadose zone suggest much lower hydraulic conductivities than estimated
from the Supply Well #12 pumping test results, so localized variations can and do occur.
Overall, the extreme depth to the groundwater table serves as a good barrier preventing
most contaminants spilled at the surface from migrating into the drinking water aquifer.
However, there are known isolated areas of known contamination in the groundwater
aquifer. The Fort Greely Installation Restoration Program (IRP) is monitoring these
known areas to ensure there is no migration towards drinking water wells. The drinking
water wells are sampled and analyzed for contaminants in accordance with EPA and state
regulations and no contaminants have been detected above the safe drinking water levels,
or Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs).
3.13 Wastewater Treatment, Collection and Discharge
The subject buildings’ sanitary facilities are connected to the Fort Greely wastewater
treatment sewer system. The sanitary facilities in the subject buildings include
bathrooms/restrooms, hand sinks, washing machines, janitor sinks, and other facilities
common to residential or office facilities. Wastewater treatment, collection, and
discharge are not considered findings of concern for the subject properties except for
oil/water separator concerns mentioned in Section 3.6.
3.14 Drinking Water Quality
Fort Greely has a number of separate drinking water systems, but they all draw their
water from the same source, which is a deep groundwater aquifer.
The top of the water table for the groundwater, or aquifer, that the Fort Greely drinking
water is drawn from is approximately 200 feet below the ground surface (with intakes for
Environmental Baseline Survey 29
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
the drinking water wells between 250 to 300 feet underground). This distance between
the groundwater and the surface provides a good barrier to prevent man-made or
biological contamination from reaching the aquifer.
Once extracted from the groundwater aquifer, the water is temporarily stored at Building
606 in large above ground storage tanks, chlorinated to prevent bacterial growth,
fluorinated to protect children’s teeth, and distributed to buildings at the Main
Cantonment area via an underground distribution system.
The main post drinking water is tested for a variety of constituents to ensure that the
water is safe to drink. These constituents include chlorine disinfection byproducts,
coliform (bacteria), organic chemicals (pesticides, solvents, and other man-made organic
chemicals), nitrates (can come from naturally occurring sources or it is also a break down
product from fertilizers and human/animal wastes), various metals (arsenic, lead, and
copper), and some radionuclides or indicators of radioactive constituents (total alpha
activity, radium, and uranium). The Environmental Office has also established an
additional network of groundwater monitoring wells to check the quality of the drinking
water source (the aquifer) semi-annually for petroleum products and other man-made
chemicals. This system monitors the known minor contamination from past spills that
has reached the aquifer to ensure these contaminants are not migrating towards a drinking
water well.
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) specifies the location of
drinking water sampling sites for monitoring of specific constituents.
Constituents that would be highest, if present, in the aquifer and not likely
to be encountered in the distribution system (like pesticides, radionuclides,
etc.) are sampled just after the water is brought to the surface.
Constituents that would be highest, if present, in the distribution system
(like coliform and disinfection byproducts) are sampled either within or at
the end of the distribution system.
Constituents that would be highest, if present, at the tap because of copper
piping and lead solder are sampled from the tap.
The number of samples to be taken is based on federal and state requirements for the size
(number of people served) of the drinking water system. A representative number of
samples from within a specific area are collected (i.e. not every tap is sampled). The
frequency of sampling is also based on federal and state requirements, depending on the
constituent being monitored, and varies from daily (for chlorine and fluoride), monthly
(for coliform), annually (for organics, nitrates, disinfection products, etc), every three
years (lead, copper, pesticides, etc.), to every four years (radionuclides).
The daily samplings are analyzed by the system operators at Fort Greely using special
instruments at the water treatment plant in Building 606. All other drinking water
samples taken within the drinking water system are analyzed by an independent
laboratory located in Fairbanks. The lab, Analytica, is certified by ADEC. Analytica
Environmental Baseline Survey 30
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
sends all results to ADEC’s drinking water experts for review. Fort Greely also compiles
sampling results monthly and submits them to ADEC.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) drinking water requirements, called
the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for safe drinking water, are conservative
levels that EPA believes will protect the health of all populations, including the most
sensitive groups (children, elderly, etc) over a lifetime (70 years) of consumption. If
a sample exceeds a maximum contaminant level, this would not mean that there will be
an immediate health risk. The MCLs are conservative enough to provide a margin of
safety so that corrective actions can be taken before health effects occur. If an MCL is
exceeded, the Environmental Office would investigate the issue to determine if more
sampling is needed or if corrections to the water distribution system might need to be
made to further protect the Fort Greely community. For lead, EPA has withdrawn the
previously established MCL and replaced the regulatory level with an even more
conservative action level of 15ug/l. Lead in drinking water is typically associated with
lead leaching from brass faucets/fittings or lead solder on copper pipes. Therefore, EPA
wants investigations (and potentially corrective action if the problems persist) whenever
lead in the drinking water exceeds the action level to insure a health problem does not
develop.
As required by federal and state requirements, the DPW Environmental Office publishes
an annual Consumer Confidence Report (Water Quality Report) on the drinking water
quality for the previous year. This report is distributed by July 1st of each year to all of
the residents and the report is posted in the workplace.
Since Fort Greely was “stood back up” in 2002, there had been no violations of the
Maximum Contaminant Levels (safe drinking water levels for various potential
contaminants) or EPA action levels (levels set conservatively low to trigger investigative
and corrective actions if exceeded, but not a health based standard) until August 2007.
At the time of the EBS, Fort Greely DPW had just received lead and copper results of the
most recent compliance samples for drinking water quality. Four of the ten compliance
samples collected in August 2007 exceeded the lead action level. Following post-wide
announcement of the sampling results in early September 2007, the following actions
were taken:
Point of use filters (filters on taps/faucets) were added to utilized locations that
exceeded the lead action level,
A community meeting was held September 14th
to explain the sampling results,
Residents were advised to flush, or run faucets, for 30-60 seconds prior to
collection of water for consumption in order to flush out lead that may accumulate
in stagnant water in the pipes underneath the sink/faucet,
A second round of compliance samples were taken to confirm previous results
Additional samples were collected at taps requested to be sampled by residents
The second round (more than 50 samples collected) of sampling results indicated
approximately 30% of the collected samples were above the lead action level. The DPW
office immediately took the following actions:

consumption eliminates lead above the EPA action level. Results indicate that
lead above the action level is removed with as little as 15 seconds of flushing of
the faucet.
Released results of second round of sampling and time-lapse flushing sampling
post-wide (see 10/23/07 letter in Appendix G) and held a second community
meeting on November 6,2007.
Fort Greely DPW is taking aggressive and proactive approaches to identifying and
rectifying the cause of the lead action level exceedances identified in August 2007. DPW
has proven simple flushing of the faucet before taking water for consumption lowers the
lead below the EPA action level, but has also taken the steps to put filtration units in all
residences.

3.15 Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used historical in many building
applications (including floor tile, ceiling tile, piping insulation, fire-proofing material,
roofing shingles, exterior siding, adhesives, and other uses). Asbestos is naturally pliable
and is resistant to heat, which makes it ideal for usage as thermal insulation and fire-
proofing material. Asbestos is not banned and still used in many applications today
(especially hot water heaters, brake pads, and other high temperature applications). The
use of asbestos in building materials has been reduced significantly over the past 30
years. However, buildings constructed prior to 1980 (like most buildings on the main
cantonment at Fort Greely) typically have a significant amount of asbestos-containing
materials. An Asbestos Management Plan and Survey was completed by the DPW office
in 2005.
Many agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), have studied the potential health effects of
asbestos over the past several decades. Their conclusion is that asbestos normally
presents no problem as long as it is in good condition, and is not disturbed or misused.
If asbestos is in a form that easily crumbles (friable), then it could become airborne and a
health hazard, if inhaled.
Environmental Baseline Survey 32
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
Fort Greely follows USEPA and Army guidelines that ACM be kept in place, unless it
has been damaged. Asbestos can be safely managed in place as long as it is kept in good
condition. Asbestos removal is not required by law, contrary to popular belief. Army
policy on asbestos is:
manage asbestos-containing materials in place if it is in good condition
repair, encapsulate, enclose, or replace damaged asbestos-containing materials
Most health studies about asbestos have been done in workplaces and among workers
who handle friable asbestos over many years, like asbestos miners and those who worked
in ACM manufacture, installation and repair. Researchers are still working to determine
a “safe” exposure level. However, it appears that low-level environmental exposures
more typical of the general population carry little risk. People known to work with
friable asbestos for long periods of time (many years) are at risk to develop lung disease
(asbestosis) and/or lung cancer (mesothelioma).
At Fort Greely, a post-wide asbestos survey in 2005 found some ACM insulation needing
repairs. The garrison repaired ACM where needed and continues to monitor the condition
of remaining asbestos when feasible. Most of the repair work involves encapsulating
(sealing) the asbestos where found, to prevent further damage. The asbestos is removed,
if found to be beyond repair.
Two types of old thermal system (piping) insulation can be found on Fort Greely:
fiberglass and asbestos. While both types of insulation are covered by similar-looking
coating, those with asbestos are harder (whereas fiberglass is flexible) and should be
clearly labeled. At many locations on Fort Greely, straight piping runs are covered in
fiberglass insulation while joints and elbows have the harder asbestos insulation as
increased protection for these stress points in the piping system. Residents should be
instructed not to use the pipes and piping insulation to hang clothes/pictures or use them
in a way that could damage the piping insulation.
The garrison can arrange to encase the affected pipe in a metal sleeve if there is a high
likelihood of future damage. If damage occurs or if a resident would like a protective
sleeve installed, the residents should contact the Housing Office or the Chugach service
order desk for prompt repairs.
Below are some helpful websites for more information on asbestos:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: www.epa.gov/asbestos/
Oklahoma State University Environmental Health and Safety website contains
numerous articles from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
EPA, American Lung Association, and others.
http://www.pp.okstate.edu/ehs/links/Asbestos.htm
3.16 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
PCBs are hydrocarbon (petroleum based) compounds containing chlorine which were
commonly used in high temperature electrical applications (transformer dielectric or
Environmental Baseline Survey 33
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
coolant fluids, ballasts for fluorescent lighting systems, and other uses). Army policy
requires that PCB-containing transformers and capacitors be removed or deduced through
fluid flushing and replacement to concentrations less than 50 parts per million (ppm)
PCBs. Fort Greely has completed a program to eliminate all transformer and large
capacitors containing PCBs in concentration greater than 50 ppm.
3.17 Radon
Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas formed from the decay of uranium in
bedrock and soil. Since it is naturally occurring, radon can also be omitted from various
natural earthen building components (granite, ceramics, aggregate and/or sand in
concrete, etc., depending on the amount of radioactive materials in these substances).
The amounts of radon that can accumulate in a building or residence vary significantly
from building to building and region to region based on subsurface soil and bedrock
conditions/composition, tightness of the building foundation, building ventilation, and the
existence of basements or substructures. Radon may cause adverse health impacts
depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. The USEPA established radon
guidelines that apply to residential occupancy only, however the Army applies this
residential standard to all buildings.
Fort Greely completed a radon survey in the early 1990’s and a second survey in 2004-
2007. A final report is still being compiled for the recent effort, but a draft report was
reviewed. Fort Greely buildings and residences which had radon levels above the EPA
guideline of 4 pCi/L in long-term tests (greater than 7 days) have had radon mitigation
units installed to lower the amount of radon that migrates into and accumulates in a
building or residence. The radon mitigation unit is a ventilation system installed below
the slab or foundation which:
collects radon containing air/gas/vapors rising up from the subsurface,
draws the gases through piping so it does not enter the living or working spaces of
the residence of building, and;
discharges the gases above the roof for dispersion into the atmosphere.
Fort Greely is taking the necessary steps to protect workers and residents from the
buildup of radon in buildings. More info on radon can be found at the following USEPA
and National Cancer Institute websites:
www.epa.gov/iaq/radon/
www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/radon
3.18 Lead-Based Paint
Lead-based paint (LBP) was commonly used for its durability before it was banned by
Federal law in 1978. Typically, LBP was used in high-wear areas such as doors, window
sills, housing exterior, and in specialty application. The Army has a management-in-
place policy regarding LBP because:
Environmental Baseline Survey 34
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
LBP in good condition generally does not pose a risk since it is not being
ingested or inhaled into the body,
LBP can be and has been easily covered with other non-lead-based paints which
further prevents ingestion or inhalation,
LBP removal can generate large quantities of lead dust that may pose a risk to
workers; and,
LBP removal is a time-consuming and expensive process (and frequently
requires demolition of the painted substance) that is disruptive to workers and
residents.
Due to the age of most of the 49th
MDB facilities, LBP is likely to still be present in the
600 series (except 634 and 635), the 700 series (except 711) and the 800 series buildings.
Various LBP surveys have been conducted, but each was limited in nature (sampling only
a small number of facilities). These surveys confirmed buildings built before 1978 (of
those that were sampled) still contain LBP. LBP has typically been covered by many
layers of other paints since 1978. Therefore, residents should keep painted surfaces in
their units in good condition. Paint chips or peeling paint should be removed (swept or
vacuumed) to prevent ingestion or inhalation by occupants (especially children). Areas
with damaged paint should be repainted using materials from the self-help shop. If
residents have concerns about possible lead exposure, a doctor from Bassett Army
Community or other medical professional should be consulted. Blood tests are the only
way to determine if an individual has ingested or inhaled too much lead.
The lead-based paint and lead exposure information provided to Fort Greely residents is
included in Appendix E. The USEPA and Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
websites below can be consulted for more information on lead-based paint or lead
exposure:
www.epa.gov/lead/
www.hud.gov/offices/lead/healthyhomes/lead.cfm
3.19 2005-2006 Health Investigation
In 2005, Fort Greely brought in health experts from the U.S. Army Center for Health
Promotion and Preventive Medicine (CHPPM) and the U.S. Army Bassett Community
Hospital (Fort Wainwright) to investigate Fort Greely residents' concerns over a possible
link between environmental factors and the increased number of miscarriages on the post.
Although this investigation was performed internally by the Army, the investigation was
also monitored and validated by the Alaska Department of Health. The investigation
found that although the Fort Greely miscarriage rate may be slightly above national
norms, the increased rate was probably due to normal variation in a small population.
The experts recommended the miscarriage rate be monitored over the next several years
to see if the rate returned towards expected norms (and the rate has decreased as expected
based on two follow-up reviews). The process followed for the investigation, the reports

found at http://www.smdcen.us/rabfga/health/.
4.0 Findings For Adjacent Properties
4.1 Land Uses
Review of historical aerial photography and records indicate most of the structures in the
Main Cantonment were constructed in the late 1950’s and during the 1960’s, with a few
exceptions. The land and the facilities have been owned and used by the Army and Fort
Greely since World War II when the post was established in order to ferry Lend Lease
supplies and aircraft to Russia during the fight against the Axis Powers. The post’s
primary mission and purpose for most of its existence has been to support the Cold
Regions Test Center for the testing of equipment and training of troops in an arctic
environment. The ballistic missile defense mission was added in 2002 and included the
construction of the missile field south of the Main Cantonment.
4.2 Surveyed properties
Adjacent properties were not specifically surveyed. However, records searches,
personnel interviews, and database searches were completed for the entire Main
Cantonment area. Findings for facilities in close proximity to 49th
MDB facilities were
discussed in relation to the specific 49th
facility in Sections 3.1 through 3.19.
5.0 Summary of Findings
5.1 Regulatory Compliance Issues
No federal or state compliance issues were identified during the survey.
5.2 Best Management Practice Recommendations and Proposed Corrective Actions
The following Best Management Practice recommendations were identified during the
survey:
Two houses were observed with potential mold issues in the basement. The
battalion medic (SGT Fernando Sangco) also requested a mold inspection of an
additional unit in relation to a child's health investigation currently underway.
USASMDC/ARSTRAT requested Fort Greely DPW to schedule mold
inspections/sampling and cleanup as required. Airborne mold sampling at two of
the three locations showed indoor mold concentrations were no different than
outdoor mold concentrations. Airborne mold sampling at the third house was still
being scheduled at the time of the writing of this report.
Damage to asbestos-containing materials (piping insulation and possible
wallboard) in the basement of several residences was identified during the survey.
DPW placed service orders to repair damage to the piping insulation and sampled
the wallboard to determine if it was composed of asbestos. All repairs to piping
Environmental Baseline Survey 36
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
insulation have been reported complete by the service order contractor (Chugach).
Sampling results on the wallboard showed that it was not composed of asbestos.
Other side issues being investigated by DPW at request of
USASMDC/ARSTRAT include:
- Several units mentioned work orders that had been placed some time
ago and had not been completed. Chugach followed up on these and
reports these work orders as completed.
- Several units mentioned asbestos sampling completed some time ago
but they had not been notified of results. DPW is researching whether
these sample results are on file, and will resample if necessary. The
suspected asbestos wallboard sample was retaken for analysis and the
wallboard is not composed of asbestos.
- Several units reported freezing/clogging of radon mitigation vent pipes
(one unit requested a radon resample). DPW is investigating the
frozen pipe issue and is trying to schedule the radon sample (occupant
appeared to be on vacation during portion of October 2007).
- Several units reported "disgusting" carpet that they would like
replaced/removed. Occupants were requested to take this issue up
with DPW Housing Office.
- One unit reported soldier's wife had been sick since she had moved
into the present unit (little over a month). This item was reported to
49th
MDB Command for monitoring.
- One occupant pointed out what he said was outdated, unsafe electrical
wiring in basement floor joists. USASMDC/ARSTRAT requested
Fort Greely DPW investigate this issue.
- Several units requested information on lead-based paint in their units.
DPW distributes the informational material at move-in, but additional
distribution of this information may be warranted.
DPW has established a facility inspection and plumbing flushing program for
housing units during the turnover of a residence from one occupant to the next
(see scope of work section and inspection checklist in Appendix F). Recommend
implementation of some type of inspection program for residents who spend more
than 2 years in a housing unit to insure asbestos, lead-based paint, and other issues
are discovered before they become a health issue. USASMDC/ARSTRAT should
conduct this periodic survey to supplement the surveys performed by Fort Greely
DPW. Recommendation might include periodic surveys of facilities that haven’t
had an inspection within the last 2 years to ensure that all utilized residences
receive a walkthrough inspection at least once every two years.
Recommend 49th
MDB personnel take necessary steps to identify the source of
the halogenated compounds recently discovered in the oil/water separator sludge
at the Building 634 Motor Pool. Hazardous materials containing chlorinated
solvents should be eliminated from usage. Household hazardous wastes and
surfactants should also not be dumped into the OWS.

6.0 Conclusions
Overall, the buildings and residences are in fairly good condition. Due to the age of the
structures, the active management of asbestos and lead-based paint needs to continue to
prevent the potential for health-related issues. Management of the asbestos and the lead-
based paint needs to be a cooperative effort between the occupants and the Fort Greely
DPW. Minor issues in relation to paint chipping/peeling, asbestos piping insulation
punctures/damage, and mold growth were found during the survey and relayed to DPW
for correction. Many of the corrective actions have already been completed. The DPW
has maintained an aggressive approach in identifying potential exposure situations and
implementing actions to limit or eliminate these hazards. Where needed, DPW has
installed radon mitigation units, installed point of use drinking water filters, repaired or
encapsulated asbestos insulation, and prevented access to IRP/CC sites in order to protect
the workforce and the residents of Fort Greely.
6.1 Facility Matrix
Air Force Instruction 32-7066 establishes the framework for interpreting EBS findings.
The framework is as follows:
Category 1 – Areas where no release or disposal of hazardous or petroleum substances
has occurred (including no migration from other areas).
Category 2 – Areas where only release or disposal of petroleum substances has occurred.
Category 3 – areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has
occurred, but at concentrations that do not require removal or remedial response.
Category 4 – Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has
occurred, and all removal or remedial actions have been taken.
Category 5 – Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances has
occurred, and all removal or remedial actions are underway, but not yet taken.
Category 6 – Areas where release, disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances
have occurred, but remedial actions have not been implemented.
Category 7 – Areas that are not evaluated or require additional evaluation.
A summary of categorization factors and environmental setting data for the subject sites
are provided in Table 3.

6.2 Property Categories
See Table 3 for property categories.
6.3 Additional Resources & Maps
The following information is provided by the housing office at occupant move-in (provided in Appendix E):
Residents Handbook,
Disclosure of Information on Lead-based Paint and/or Lead-based Paint Hazards,
Asbestos Hazards,
“Protect your family from lead in your home” pamphlet,
Common Repairs for Residents, and
Good Practice Tips for Drinking water.
After move-out, DPW housing office has implemented a turnover environmental inspection and flushing
process to prepare the unit for the next occupant. The inspection covers the condition of the asbestos thermal
system insulation, condition of any lead-based paint, identification of presence of mold, and confirmation
radon-mitigation system is operating (if present). Additionally, just prior to occupant move-in, the drinking
water system will be flushed to remove stagnant water (and potential lead build-up) from the unit. Appendix F
has the portion of the maintenance contractor’s scope of work and the inspection checklist.
Aerial photographs of Fort Greely were reviewed in researching information for this EBS. Examples of two of
the aerial photos (1971 and 1974) are included in Appendix B.
6.4 Data Gaps
There are no known data gaps that effect the conclusions of this report.
7.0 Recommendations
The properties are considered suitable for the intended usage (49th
MDB non-tactical support facilities).
The presence of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint are items that need to be managed in
cooperation with the Fort Greely DPW. The user should not disturb areas that may have asbestos-containing
materials and report any damage to the Fort Greely DPW. User should maintain painted surfaces by periodic
repainting and avoid disturbing undercoatings that may contain lead-based paint. Peeling paint and paint chips
should be removed to prevent potential ingestion or inhalation.
The source of the halogenated compounds in the oil/water separator sludge at the Motor Pool should be
identified and eliminated from the process. Chlorinated solvents and surfactants should not be dumped into the
oil/water separator.
The current housing turnover inspection process should be supplemented to periodically inspect all housing
units.
The Best Management Recommendations in Section 5.0 should be completed as quickly as possible.

Appendix A: Detailed Facility Survey Notes
Individual facility survey notes (Notes are organized in numerical order. Pictures were taken in the order that
the units were inspected and are numbered in that order):
708B
Possible mold growth in the basement was observed by the inspector (see Picture 27 in Appendix C). Work
order placed by DPW for mold cleanup was still open at the time of the writing of this report. DPW contractor
inspected the mold and determine it to be in excess of 100 square feet requiring cleanup (Fort Greely housing
office requests occupants clean up mold that is less than 100 square feet). Mold airborne sampling was
completed which showed indoor mold concentrations were no different than outdoor mold concentrations.
Additionally, water damage was seen on one section of asbestos TSI (see Picture 28 in Appendix C), otherwise
the piping insulation looked in good condition.
812C
Small tear observed in the asbestos TSI over the washer in the basement. Tear was covered in duct tape and
marked for the repair crew. Work order was placed by DPW and repair was completed on 9/25/07.
812 E
Asbestos TSI was in good condition. Occupant expressed a desire to have asbestos removed due to presence of
children. Asbestos hazards discussed and occupant requested to notify housing office or environmental office if
asbestos damaged. Occupant has reoccurring mold issues in upstairs bath. Occupant was also not happy with
the speed of work order requested to fix a basement sink. This item was relayed to DPW and work order was
completed 9/26/07.
812 F
Occupant stated they had no problems. Brief survey confirmed TSI in generally good condition.
812 G
Occupant said “No issues” and did not want inspection.
812 H
Occupant stated they had no problems. Brief survey confirmed TSI in generally good condition. Occupant
claims Boeing contractor was previous occupant and unit was in better condition than most Army Family
Housing.
813A
Occupant requested drinking water lead test (see Fort Greely Drinking Water 10/23/07 post-wide release
announcing drinking water results in Appendix G). Drinking water quality and ways to flush lead were
discussed with the occupant. Occupant also wanted to know if the unit contained lead-based paint. Picture 22
in Appendix C shows an Asbestos label on the wastewater drainpipe (asbestos cement pipe), which is another
possible location for asbestos in facilities at Fort Greely. Asbestos TSI was in good condition.
Environmental Baseline Survey 42
49th
MDB Non-Tactical Support Facilities
Fort Greely, Alaska
813F
Occupant requested a drinking water lead test (see Fort Greely Drinking Water 10/23/07 post-wide release
announcing drinking water results in Appendix G). Drinking water quality and ways to flush lead were
discussed with the occupant. Asbestos TSI was in good condition.
814H
Occupant requested drinking water sample for lead analysis (see Fort Greely Drinking Water 10/23/07 post-
wide release announcing drinking water results in Appendix G). Asbestos TSI appears to be in good condition.
816 D
All asbestos TSI in this unit has been replaced with fiberglass TSI. Occupant concerned about peeling paint
(see pictures 19 and 20 in Appendix C) and whether it is lead-based paint.
816F
Basement sink has piping insulation with the ends not sealed. This was noted in a number of locations and
DPW should consider sealing these as a precaution to minimize potential for damage. See pictures 3 & 4 in
Appendix C.
Occupant reported having reoccurring mold problems in upstairs bathroom. Occupant was cleaning using 10%
bleach solution as suggested by housing office. Vent fan did not appear to be operating and could contribute to
the problem. Survey team suggested occupant put in a request for repair of vent fan with housing office.
817D
Flaking paint was noticed on piping insulation beside the washer/dryer. Flaking paint should be considered
lead-based paint and should be scraped, removed, and repainted.
Several areas noted where fiberglass piping wrap (not asbestos) was frayed.
817 H
Occupants have reoccurring mold issues in upstairs bathroom (see Picture 21 in Appendix C). Mold is around
grout line around bath tub and on ceiling. Asbestos TSI appeared to be in good condition.
818H
Asbestos TSI is in good condition. Occupant requested drinking water lead test during discussions concerning
drinking water quality (see Fort Greely Drinking Water 10/23/07 post-wide release announcing drinking water
results in Appendix G).
820A
Unit had suspected mold on floor joists in basement (see picture 15 and 16 in Appendix C). Work order placed
to have air sampling and cleanup. Airborne sampling showed indoor mold concentrations no different than
outdoor airborne mold concentrations. Occupant says the suspected mold was tested several years ago and she
never heard the results. Occupant was concerned about peeling paint in multiple upstairs locations (see pictures
17 and 18 in Appendix C). Attempts to schedule mold cleanup have been unsuccessful as of the end of October
as the occupant has not answered cell or home phone (appears to be on vacation).

TSI appeared to be in good condition. Occupants say the drinking water supply is erratic.
820G
Inspector discussed drinking water with the occupant but a drinking water sample was not requested. Asbestos
TSI was in good condition.
833C
Occupants say they are sick a lot and concerned about old carpet in the living room. Occupant says they get
“black feet” when walking on carpet after a shower/bath. Inspectors raised carpet at one location along wall
(not in high traffic area) and the carpet padding did not appear abnormal. Inspectors noticed that the flooring
under the carpet was hardwood floors. Occupants expressed a desire to have carpet removed and have
hardwood floor instead. Inspectors told occupant to discuss with housing office.
A couple of locations on the asbestos thermal system insulation (TSI) in the basement had punctures (two small
nickel or quarter-sized punctures near stairs and one quarter-sized puncture over basement toilet). See pictures
13 and 14 in Appendix C. Additionally, there was some water damage of the TSI in the basement near the
stairs. Asbestos repair work order placed by DPW and repair completed 9/24/07.
833D
One of the occupants has been sick (bronchitis) since they moved into the house in August. The 49th
MDB
Command was notified of this issue and asked to monitor the situation. Drinking water quality was discussed
with the occupant and the occupant requested a sample (see Fort Greely Drinking Water 10/23/07 post-wide
release announcing drinking water results in Appendix G). Occupants stated that the stairs have old dirty carpet
that they would like to have replaced. Additionally, the occupants said the stairs creaked when traversing and
repairs were also needed. Carpet/stairs request was relayed to housing office. Asbestos TSI was in good
condition.
834C
Occupant had no issues. Asbestos TSI appeared to be in good condition.
834G
Last piping insulation maintenance activities left a significant amount of fiberglass insulation debris in the
basement. Occupant was concerned that the debris was asbestos. Additionally there were a couple of small
punctures in the asbestos TSI (see Picture 29 in Appendix C). Work order placed to repair TSI and cleanup
fiberglass debris. Work order was completed on 9/28/07. Damaged wallboard was also observed that could be
asbestos (see Picture 30 in Appendix C). DPW was requested to sample the wallboard to determine if it was
asbestos. The sample was taken and results showed that the wallboard was not composed of asbestos.
Occupant was also concerned about old electrical wiring in the unit being a possible fire hazard. DPW was
asked to investigate the safety of this wiring (see Picture 31 in Appendix C).
834H
Radon was discussed with the occupant. Asbestos TSI was in good condition. Occupant had no other
problems.

835B
Occupant says electric power is erratic. Some of the insulation in the basement needs to be rewrapped.
Plumber didn’t replace the hangar on the asbestos TSI wrapped pipe. There was real sloppy insulation repair
with blue colored wrap by the back door. Insulation crumbled and was feared to be asbestos, but work order
repair crew stated the damaged area was a plaster of paris patch, not asbestos.
835C
Small area of asbestos TSI observed to be damaged in basement and needs repair. No other concerns were
raised or observed in this residence.
835F
Occupant requested dinking water lead test during discussions on drinking water quality (see Fort Greely
Drinking Water 10/23/07 post-wide release announcing drinking water results in Appendix G). Asbestos TSI
was in good condition. Occupant had no additional concerns.
835H
A small portion of thermal system insulation in the front entry way was observed that needs replacing (see
picture 12 in Appendix C). DPW placed work order and repair was completed 9/24/07.
Occupant says drinking water pipes are rusty and water discolored when initially turn on the tap.
851C
Residence was inspected at request of occupant, but only teenage son was home during the inspection.
Asbestos TSI had several locations where the ends of insulation sections were exposed and not sealed (see
Pictures 24-26 in Appendix C). Additionally, water damage of asbestos TSI was also discovered (see Picture
23 in Appendix C). Work order placed by DPW for repair. Repairs were completed on 9/26/07.
911A
Discussed lead in the drinking water with the occupant. Occupant appeared satisfied with garrison response
actions. Occupant stated that “Distribution A” email doesn’t go to all residents and a better way of
disseminating results should be found. No asbestos TSI or LBP in 900 Series housing.
913A
Occupant had no concerns. No asbestos TSI or LBP in 900 Series housing.
917
Occupant stated they had no problems. Asbestos and lead-based paint not a significant concern due to newer
construction.
920G
Occupant says water leaves white residue on dishes when they wash. Occupant says there is a sewer gas smell
when wind blows pretty hard (and wind can actually flush toilets). Occupant stated he would like to have a
water filter. Occupant had no other problems.

Occupants have light reoccurring mold in the upstairs bathroom. Occupants use a bleach solution to clean.
Occupant stated water heaters above the stairwell had been replaced when a water heater in another 900 Series
unit had a catastrophic failure. Occupants said they already had drinking water checked and a point of use filter
had been installed. No asbestos TSI in the 900 Series units.
952B
Occupant stated multiple maintenance requests have been filed over the years due to the radon vent pipe
clogging with ice during the winter. Maintenance staff responds quickly, but occupant concerned that radon
could build up when clogged. Inspectors discussed radon with the occupant. Occupant was much more
comfortable after discussions. Occupant requested radon re-sampling and this request was relayed to DPW for
scheduling. Pictures 10 and 11 in Appendix C are components of the radon mitigation unit.
Occupant stated they had reoccurring mold issues in upstairs bathtub year round and had concerns that there
was mildew/mold around the attic access. Occupant cleans with bleach solution per directions from housing
office.
954B
Radon was discussed with the occupant. Asbestos TSI was in good condition. Occupant had no other concerns.
General Comment – Several complaints about the amount of cleaning required to clear housing check out
process….many complaints about difficulty in clearing the “white glove” test (especially when entered house
with no pre-inspection)

housing office if the two sides of the gauge equalize (or form a U). A gauge that looks like a “J” means the radon mitigation
unit is working properly. Radon mitigation units installed in a small number of units if previous long-term radon sampling
results were above EPA action levels. Picture taken in 952B.
Picture 11 (right) – Roof vent for a radon mitigation unit. Most roof vents are a straight pipe. This particular unit had a

Picture 17 (above) and Picture 18 (below) – peeling paint on door jam and paint chips on floor near bedroom on second floor
of 820A. Residents should vacuum up paint chips to ingestion by children. Paint is probably newer latex paint. However, due
to the construction of the 700 and 800 Series Housing before the banning of lead-based paint in the late 1970’s, the bottom
layers of paint could be lead-based paint (covered by layers of latex paint). The lead-based paint is safely sealed within other
layers of paint unless all of the layers are chipped or peeled away. Residents should seek supplies from self-help shop to
repaint (and reseal) peeling paint.

MEMORANDUM FOR HOUSING OCCUPANTS
SUBJECT: Disclosure of Information on Lead-based Paint and/or Lead-based Paint Hazards
Public Law requires the Army to provide you with information concerning lead-based paint in your government
owned housing unit. Repainting lead-based paint areas with paint that does not contain lead has encapsulated
the majority of lead-based paint in the housing areas. However, some hazards may remain and the
recommendations in the attached EPA pamphlet should be followed.
LEAD WARNING STATEMENT
Housing build before 1978 (such as the 700 and 800-series housing units) may contain lead-based paint. Lead
contained in paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if swallowed or inhaled. Report any damaged,
flaking or chipped paint to the service order desk at 869-3000. Examples of common areas where lead-based
paint may have been applied in the past include doors, door frames, door casings, closet rods, closet shelves,
moldings, baseboards, handrails, beams and columns. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children
and pregnant women.
Housing Office Disclosure
The presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards:
Known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards are/or could be present in the housing unit.
Housing Occupants Acknowledgement (initial)
(1) _____ Housing occupant has received notification of lead-based paint hazard.
(2) _____ Housing occupant has received the EPA pamphlet “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your
Home”.

MEMORANDUM FOR HOUSING OCCUPANTS
SUBJECT: Disclosure of Information on Asbestos Hazards
Public Law requires the Army to provide you with information concerning asbestos in your government owned
housing unit.
ASBESTOS WARNING STATEMENT
Housing built before 1980 (such as the 700 and 800-series housing units) may contain asbestos in various
building materials. The materials that may contain asbestos are pipe insulation, sheetrock mud, sheetrock, vinyl
flooring, vinyl base cove and the glues used to attach these items
When these materials are undamaged, the asbestos is properly contained and cannot be released into the air and
there is no health hazard. If the asbestos-containing materials are damaged or become friable and asbestos
fibers are released into the air, there is a potential health hazard. All housing units have been inspected by a
trained asbestos worker. Any needed repairs have been completed or are in progress. If you have any questions
or concerns about your unit, please contact the Garrison Housing Manager at 873-4658.
It is your responsibility as a tenant to ensure that potential asbestos-containing materials remain undamaged
during your occupancy. Also, it is your responsibility to report any asbestos identification labels that have
come off or been removed. If damage occurs immediately call for emergency service at 869-3000.
