Lowry Air Force Base (AFB) supported the 3400 Technical
Training Wing. In 1991, the BRAC Commission recommended
closure of all but 108 of the 1,866 acres at Lowry (the Air Force
retained 80 acres, as an additional 28 acres were subsequently
closed). The base closed in September 1994. The Defense
Finance and Accounting Service and the Air Force Reserve
Personnel Center remain at Lowry in cantonment areas, but will
be closed under BRAC 2005. Environmental sites at the former
base include fire training areas, landfills, a fly ash disposal
area, coal storage yards, and underground storage tanks. In
FY94, an Environmental Baseline Survey was completed. The
installation's Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) began receiving
technical assistance for public participation funding in FY99.
The cleanup progress at the former Lowry AFB for FY02
through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the delineation of the fire training zone dioxin
contamination was completed. The environmental services
cooperative agreement (ESCA) for privatization of the landfill
and groundwater was finalized. Groundwater pilot studies were
conducted.
In FY03, remedial actions (RAs) were completed for soil
contamination at two newly-discovered tank sites: Building
1432 and the Fifth and Trenton site. Two investigations and
RAs were completed for contaminated soil sites. An RA and no
further action (NFA) documentation were completed for the
skeet range.
In FY04, a polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) removal action at
Building 402 and a basewide RCRA facility assessment (RFA)
were conducted. Monitoring for radioactive parameters at the
landfill progressed on schedule. Investigations and RAs at
contaminated soil sites were completed. Groundwater
monitoring was conducted at Building 606, and payments
continued for the FY02 privatization agreement. The Air Force
conducted an inventory of Military Munitions Response
Program (MMRP) sites. MMRP sites were identified at this
installation.
In FY05, the installation completed the final RFA report and the
PCBs removal action at Building 402. Quarterly monitoring for

radioactive parameters at the landfill continued. A previously
abandoned septic tank near Dayton Street was investigated
and removed. In addition, the installation completed several
removal actions involving asbestos-containing materials
discovered in soil. The Air Force incorporated RAs at remaining
sites and new RFA areas into comprehensive agreement
negotiations to privatize the remaining environmental cleanup
and property transfer actions.

The installation signed a comprehensive agreement to privatize
the remaining Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and
MMRP actions. Lowry AFB received concurrence from
regulatory agencies and NFA documentation for establishing a
foreign trade zone after soil removal, confirmation sampling,
and site restoration are complete. The Air Force also received
regulatory approval on the final reports for the landfill cap
construction. The installation completed the abandonment of
two deep wells. Lowry AFB completed the follow-up
investigations at suspected waste area PAA 2 and received
NFA. The installation continued long-term management (LTM)
at the landfill and Building 606, investigation at Building 1432,
abatement of asbestos in soil at various areas, and payments
for the privatization cooperative agreements. The installation
initiated the 5-year review. Lowry AFB completed Phase I and
initiated Phase II of in situ chemical oxidation treatment of
chlorinated solvents in groundwater and shut down two active
remediation systems at Operable Unit 5. The installation
completed a risk assessment simulation study to evaluate the
human health risk associated with asbestos in soil at Filing 28;
the report is pending. The installation submitted the final report
on quarterly monitoring for radioactive parameters at the landfill
zone to regulators.
Contractual issues delayed RA and NFA documentation for
Buildings 777 and 898.
The RAB continued to meet on a monthly basis.

The installation performed clearance and soil excavation at the
Outdoor Firing Range and the site received NFA.
