12.0 TRACK 0 ROD<br />
This section presents background information on the Track 0 (NoA) ROD regarding MR; summarizes<br />
remedial actions and provides a technical assessment of the actions taken at these sites; identifies any<br />
issues related to the protectiveness of the remedies based on the review; presents recommendations and<br />
follow-up actions, if needed, to address issues identified during the review; and provides a statement<br />
regarding the protectiveness of the site remedies.<br />
12.1 Background<br />
In 2002, the Army published <strong>Final</strong> Record of Decision, No Action Regarding <strong>Ord</strong>nance-Related<br />
Investigation (Track 0 ROD) (Army, 2002a). The Track 0 ROD addresses areas at the former <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Ord</strong><br />
that contain no evidence of MEC and have never been suspected as having been used for military<br />
munitions-related activities of any kind based on then-current knowledge outlined in the Literature<br />
<strong>Review</strong> (HLA, 2000) and investigated under the basewide MR RI/FS Program at former <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Ord</strong>. The<br />
129 Track 0 areas listed in the Track 0 ROD consist largely of land that has been developed for military<br />
support or residential use throughout <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Ord</strong>’s history and areas that have no physical or documented<br />
evidence of military munitions-related training.<br />
The 2005 ESD (Army, 2005a) clarified that the definition for MEC does not include small arms<br />
ammunition (.50 caliber and below). Therefore, the presence of small arms ammunition does not<br />
preclude a NoA determination regarding military MR; nor does a NoA determination indicate that small<br />
arms ammunition is not present.<br />
12.2 Remedial Actions<br />
No remedial action for MEC is necessary in these areas.<br />
12.2.1 Remedy Selection<br />
No remedial action is necessary in Track 0 areas. In the future, should any ordnance-related item be<br />
found within any of the areas addressed in the Track 0 ROD, the Army will take appropriate action and<br />
within 90 days of the discovery, submit a plan for appropriate follow-on action to EPA and DTSC for<br />
consultation.<br />
In addition, a “Plug-In” process can be used for documenting NoA determinations for other areas that<br />
meet the Track 0 criteria based on the ongoing MR RI/FS. An ESD (Army, 2005a) was prepared to<br />
clarify the scope of the Track 0 Plug-In process to include SCA may be eligible for Track 0 consideration<br />
where military munitions are found in a disposal area and munitions items were fully excavated. Presence<br />
of incidental military munitions items that are not indicative of past military munitions-related training do<br />
not preclude an area from being designated as Track 0. In addition, non-firing areas where military<br />
training might have occurred, but additional research under the MR RI/FS program clearly indicates that<br />
no live fire was conducted, will be eligible for evaluation under the Track 0 Plug-In process.<br />
12.2.2 Remedy Implementation<br />
The selected remedy was NoA and allows for unrestricted reuse.<br />
