In December 1988, the BRAC Commission recommended
closure of the Lexington Facility, Lexington-Bluegrass Army
Depot (LBAD). The Army performed a RCRA facility
investigation (RFI) from October 1991 to February 1993 and
remediated affected areas under an April 1994 RCRA
corrective action order. In FY94, the installation formed a BRAC
cleanup team. The Army leased the installation to the
Commonwealth of Kentucky in FY94 and the installation closed
as scheduled in FY95. For transfer, the Army divided LBAD into
two parcels: the 211-acre public benefit conveyance and the
564-acre economic development conveyance (EDC). Past
studies at LBAD identified 64 sites that required further
investigation at the installation. A RCRA facility assessment
identified 30 solid waste management units (SWMUs) and 2
areas of concern (AOCs). Site types include: landfills (new, old,
and industrial and sanitary waste disposal), industrial waste
lagoons, industrial wastewater treatment plants, and
groundwater. EPA and the Kentucky Department of
Environmental Protection (KDEP) concurred on the Phase I RFI
and corrective measures study (CMS) documents in FY97 by
moving 16 of the unresolved SWMUs and AOCs, including
groundwater, into Phase II RFI for further evaluation. Sampling
data from the initial phase of the RFI showed contaminated
groundwater, soil, and sediment at 29 sites. In FY98, LBAD
established a Restoration Advisory Board. The installation
completed version III of the BRAC cleanup plan in FY99. In
FY01, the Army completed the Phase IIB transfer of five
buildings and railroad infrastructure without underlying land to
the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
The cleanup progress at LBAD for FY02 through FY05 is
detailed below.
In FY02, the Army excavated the Defense Reutilization and
Marketing Office storage yard pavement due to polychlorinated
biphenyl (PCB) contamination. LBAD and KDEP agreed on a
sitewide arsenic resolution. The Army prepared a draft finding
of suitability to transfer for the public benefit conveyance to be
transferred for recreational purposes and submitted it to KDEP
and EPA for preliminary review. The Army completed an
inventory of closed, transferred, and transferring ranges and
sites with unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions,

or munitions constituents. No Military Munitions Response
Program (MMRP) sites were identified at this installation.
In FY03, the Army completed the groundwater conceptual
model for the public benefit conveyance and EDC. The
installation completed statements of basis with state approval
for six sites.
In FY04, the installation submitted the final Phase II RFI/CMS
for soils and groundwater and the groundwater CMS to EPA
and KDEP. The installation submitted the deed of transfer for
the public benefit conveyance to the Commonwealth of
Kentucky. The installation submitted the final land use control
(LUC)/corrective measures implemetation plan to regulators.
The Army, the University of Kentucky, KDEP, and EPA
collaborated to resolve risk issues concerning the presence of
arsenic in surface soils.
In FY05, the installation completed well abandonment and the
final Phase II RFI/CMS resulting in a signed agreement order
between the Army and KDEP incorporating post-transfer LUC
restrictions. A public comment period on all interim remedial
actions conducted over several years at LBAD was completed
and KDEP approved the interim actions as completed final
actions.

LBAD completed and submitted the environmental covenant
and LUCs between the Army and KDEP. The installation also
submitted the draft EDC and public benefit conveyance deed
for transfer to the Commonwealth of Kentucky for review. The
Army continued groundwater and landfill monitoring, and
identifed final monitoring requirements.
Administrative issues delayed submission of the final deed for
transfer of the EDC to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
