SUMMARY OF WORK
Fort Ord served as a training and staging facility for infantry troops from its opening in
1917 until its closure in 1993. In 1990, Fort Ord was placed on the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) National Priority List (NPL), primarily due to volatile organic
compounds (VOCS) found in groundwater beneath the Operable Unit 2 (OU2) Landfills.
The 0U2 Landfills are located north and south of Imjin Road in the Main Garrison Area.
Area & the only landfill north of Imjin Road and the only one with surface developments,
covers approximately 25 acres. The landfills south of Imjin Road, Areas B through F,
encompass approximately 93 acres of undeveloped “land. They are covered by uneven
sand dunes and grass, shrubs, and bushes. Surrounding land uses include former military
training areas and military housing developments in close proximity to or encroaching
upon the landfill areas, particularly Areas A and F.
The Work performed under these Specifications is for the closure of the Fort Ord OU2
Landfills, which includes the relocation of 25 acres of refuse from Area A and capping
approximately 95 acres of refuse in Areas B through F.
