McGuire Air Force Base (AFB) provides quick-response airlift
capabilities for placing military forces into combat situations.
EPA placed the installation on the NPL in October 1999. In
2005, the BRAC Commission recommended McGuire AFB for
realignment. Sites include landfills, waste piles, fire training
areas, hazardous waste storage areas, and spill sites. The
installation formed a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in 1999.
Forty-two sites have been identified at the installation to date.
Six sites were identified at the Boeing Michigan Aeronautical
Research Center (BOMARC) facility, a remote location under
McGuire AFB jurisdiction. The cleanup progress at McGuire
AFB for FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the free product recovery equipment began operation
at the Bulk Fuel Storage Area (ST 09). The remedial
investigation (RI) phase to delineate the extent of the
trichloroethylene (TCE) groundwater plume at Site OT 16
continued. The basewide background study was completed and
a draft report was submitted. The report was under revision
based on regulators' comments. The cleanup of the BOMARC
missile accident site (RW 01) began. About 50 percent of the
contaminated soil and debris was removed and shipped out for
disposal. The installation held two RAB meetings, two
partnering (Tier I) meetings with regulators, action officers, and
base personnel; one Tier II meeting with Tier I members'
superiors; and one Tier III meeting.
In FY03, the installation completed operation of the free product
recovery equipment at pilot scale for Site ST 09. The basewide
background study report was also finalized. Based on an
environmental site inspection, 19 former areas of concern were
added as new sites, resulting in a total of 42 sites at the
installation. Two RAB meetings were held. Seven partnering
(Tier I/II) meetings were held with regulators, action officers,
and base personnel. Three Tier III conference calls were held.
In FY04, the installation began RI work plan development at
Landfills (LFs) 02 and 03. In addition, the installation completed
soil removal at the BOMARC missile accident site (RW 01) and
interim remedial action Phase I soil removal at Fire Protection
Training Area 3 (FT 13). McGuire AFB continued the RI study
for the TCE groundwater plume delineation and source

investigation at Site OT 16, as well as for the Spill Site at
Building 2227 (SS 24), and document preparation for LF 03.
The installation held two RAB meetings, one Tier I/II partnering
meeting and one Tier III partnering meeting.
In FY05, McGuire AFB completed RI fieldwork at LF 03 and an
RI at Building 2227 (SS 24). The installation initiated a
comprehensive basewide conceptual site model (CSM),
ecological study, and background study. The Department of
Energy led a survey at the BOMARC missile accident site (RW
01) and identified numerous discrete particles of contamination.
McGuire AFB expanded the fence line around the BOMARC
facility to contain some of the identified particles. The
installation held two RAB meetings, one Tier I/II partnering
meeting, and one Tier I/II/III partnering meeting. The Air Force
updated its Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP)
inventory. No MMRP sites were identified at this installation
during the inventory development.

McGuire AFB completed additional site surveys and initiated
particles cleanup of the Class 1 cleanup area at Site RW 01.
The Air Force continued work on the comprehensive basewide
CSM, ecological study, and background study. The installation
initiated RIs at the LF Operable Unit (OU) (LF 02/Site WP 21,
LF 19, and LF 20) and at Site ST 07. McGuire AFB completed
the RI study at LF 03. Additionally, McGuire AFB continued the
basewide ecological study, which included flyover surveys, a
full basewide wetland delineation, and other key ecological
components. The cost of completing environmental restoration
has changed significantly due to changes in estimating criteria.
The installation began fieldwork at Site OT 16; however,
regulatory issues delayed final completion. Regulatory issues
also delayed initiation of an RI at Site ST 09.
McGuire AFB held one Tier I/II partnering meeting and two RAB
meetings. The base also initiated the RAB Journal. Two RAB
mailings were distributed.
