Action Item#1(1970 Plane Crash)

◼ Mr. Tamn inquired about 1970 plane crash on McGuire approach; previous newspaper article was provided by at a previous RAB by Mr. Mak• Base Historian

Confirmed C-130 crash on 10 Oct 1970 No details regarding the use of foam or AFFF

• McGuire Fire Chief Confirmed AFFF was not used at crash based on date of incident

◼ No PFOS/PFOA◼ MILSPEC for AFFF issued 1969◼ Air Force Director of Civil Engineering authorized use 1970◼ Utilized existing supply

If foam was used – protein based ◼ contains no fluorocarbon surfactants ◼ produced from naturally-occurring hydrolyzed proteins combined with foam stabilizers,

bactericides, corrosion inhibitors, and other additives

LF019 TCRA Update

Complete a TCRA Landfill No. 5 (Site LF019), part of Operable Unit (OU) 3

• What is a TCRA? A Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) action to remove hazardous substances that pose an immediate risk to human health, safety, or the environment. In this case, the target of the TCRA is a disposal area within the landfill were 106 millimeter (mm) recoilless rifle rounds were observed during a topographic study. Only the immediate hazards are removed during a TCRA. Other issues are not addressed.

Remove material potentially presenting an explosive hazard (MPPEH) from the slope Confirm removal of MPPEH through metal detector response Inspect and destroy (if needed) MPPEH on site via detonation Containerize, secure, and dispose of all material documented as safe (MDAS) Prepare a Site-Specific Final Report to document the TCRA

▪ Overall Project Status (new items since last RAB in bold):

✓ Explosive Safety Submittal (ESS): Department of Defense (DoD) only document that sets separation distances and other requirements to provide the maximum possible protection to people and property.

✓ Action Memorandum (AM): U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) reviews the AM that documents the Air Force’s (AF’s) decision to undertake a TCRA of MPPEH at LF019. Signed by AF in November.

✓ Accident Prevention Plan/Site Safety and Health Plan (APP/SSHP).✓ Work Plan (Quality Assurance Project Plan [QAPP]) approved by EPA/NJDEP.✓ 3-week field effort completed in February 2021.▪ More than 500 items encountered. TCRA could not be completed due to number of items and site

conditions. Second mobilization planned for Summer 2021.

▪ Completion of the TCRA (and after-action reporting) will allow for a LF019 Record of Decision and LF019 landfill capping action.

LF019 TCRA UPDATE

✓February 2021 On-site Activities (Workflow):✓Five unexploded ordnance (UXO) technicians mobilized Monday 2/8/21 and began work.✓Each item (referred to as MPPEH) was inspected and deemed safe to move.✓MPPEH was removed from the slope and staged for further processing and inspection.✓Each item was then cleaned/processed/inspected and classified (with 100% Quality Control

check) as MDAS (material documented as safe).✓MDAS stored in lockable container under chain of custody for de-militarization (shredding)

and recycling.✓No on-site demolition operations were required thus far✓723 items were turned over for recycling.

SS018 (PCB Spill Site)◼ A spill of transformer fluid (containing PCBs) occurred at this site in 1982 which resulted in

contamination of soils. A partial removal was conducted in 1992 but additional action is required to achieve site closure. Soil is the only media impacted.

SS034 (Buildings 1708, 1800 Series)◼ The buildings included in this site supported airfield operations (maintenance/parts cleaning etc.).

Operations at a Wash Rack and Oil Water Separators (OWS) resulted in waste oils, waste jet fuel, and waste solvents being released. Non-aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) is present near the former wash rack. Groundwater is the only media impacted.

SS035 (Buildings 1908, 1925, 1929, 1931, 1932, 1937)◼ Operations of a former Underground Storage Tank (UST) farm at this site resulted in solvents and

other contaminants (fuel oils) being released. Groundwater is the only media impacted.

42“WIN AS ONE”


SS036 (Building 2300 Series and 3200 Series)◼ Aircraft maintenance and operation of a former lime-chip tank and catch basin resulted in

significant releases of solvents, mineral spirits, and metals. NAPL is present in the subsurface. Groundwater is the primary impacted media. The buildings are monitored annually for vapor intrusion issues and remain safe for industrial use.

SS037 (Building 2415)◼ Operation of an automobile repair facility resulted in releases from a waste oil tank and former UST

No solvents or fuels are present but inorganics (metals) in groundwater are elevated likely as a result of these releases in the past. Groundwater is the only impacted media.

SS038 (Building 3001)◼ Operation of multiple USTs and OWSs in the past resulted in releases of solvents. Steam cleaning

and bulk storage of chemicals likely also contributed to the releases. Groundwater is the only impacted media (solvents and metals).

AT029 (Suspected Fire Training Area 5)◼ AT029 is a suspected former fire training area with minimal operational history available. Action is

triggered for both groundwater and surface water at this site.
