Realistic Bomber Training Initiative 3.6 Oil/Water Separators No oil/water separators are located in the immediate vicinity of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site or the Mini-MUTE sites. 3.7 Pesticides and Herbicides Inside a metal cabinet was found 22.5 gallons of Round-Up brand herbicide. This cabinet is located inside storage shed number one. Round-Up is a general use herbicide and does not require the applicator to be certified. All herbicide applications at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site are conducted by Terry Barton, who is not a certified applicator. Herbicides are applied around fences, survey markers, the driveway, and septic tank leach field to keep areas clear of vegetation. To keep the roads and fences clear of vegetation, herbicides are applied at the Mini-MUTE sites by an independent contractor for Lockheed Martin (Sumey 1998, Dillard 1998). Several types of hazardous pesticides were also found within the metal storage cabinet in shed number one. The cabinet contained wasp killer, diazinon crawling insect killer, malathion insecticide, and pyrethrum insect fogger. All appropriate chemical warning labels were posted. 3.8 Medical and Biohazardous Waste The routine operations of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the Mini-MUTE sites do not generate medical or biohazardous waste. 3.9 Ordnance The primary purpose of the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the accompanying Mini-MUTE sites is to provide the U.S. Air Force with an electronic simulated combat range. As a result, no live ordnance is used during Air Force training operations in the vicinity of the facility sites. 3.10 Radioactive Waste No radioactive waste is generated at the Everton Electronic Scoring Site and the Mini-MUTE sites.

Realistic Bomber Training Initiative 3.11 Solid Waste The removal of solid waste from the facilities is accomplished by Sun-Ray Co., an independent contractor. The waste is taken to either of two landfills located in Van Buren or Carroll County (USAF 1993b). 3.12 Groundwater At the Everton Electronic Scoring Site, groundwater is found 200 to 300 feet deep (USAF 1993b). Due to the depth of groundwater, the nature of the operations performed by the facility, and the lack of hazardous chemical spills, groundwater contamination is unlikely to have occurred. 3.13 Wastewater Treatment, Collection, and Disposal Wastewater is handled by a 1,800 gallon septic tank located on site. The septic system has a required absorption area of 1,530 square feet. The system has eight-field lines with a 96 foot field length. The leach field is located north of the site and vegetative growth on the field is controlled with herbicides. A permit for an individual sewage disposal system was approved by the Arkansas Department of Health, Division of Sanitation Services on September 1, 1993. An inspection of the septic system while in place and uncovered was performed by on November 15, 1993 (Arkansas Department of Health 1993). No wastewater is generated at the Mini-MUTE sites. 3.14 Drinking Water Supply Drinking water for the Everton Electronic Scoring Site is supplied by the Valley Springs Municipal Water Supply. Drinking water quality testing is performed at unknown intervals and periodic boiling warnings are often issued (Brumett 1998, Lewis 1998). No drinking water is provided to the Mini-MUTE sites. 3.15 Asbestos The Everton Electronic Scoring Site was constructed recently (1994-1995) and no asbestos was used during the process (Sumey 1998, Brumett 1998). Mini-MUTE sites do not have structures present and, therefore, lack asbestos. Final Environmental Baseline Survey C-11 March 2000
