Naval Station Newport (formerly known as the Newport Naval
Education and Training Center) was used as a refueling depot
from the early 1900s until after World War II, when it was
restructured to support research and development and provide
specialized training. Contaminants at the installation include
petroleum/oil/lubricant (POL) sludge associated with tank farm
sites, waste acids, solvents, and polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) in landfills used to dispose of general refuse and shop
wastes. The installation was placed on the NPL in November
1989. It signed a federal facility agreement (FFA) in March
1992. The installation formed a technical review committee in
FY88 and converted it to a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in
FY95. A community relations plan was completed in FY90, and
the installation established an ecological advisory board. The
installation completed 5-year reviews in FY99 and FY04.
The installation completed Record of Decision (ROD)
documents for the Landfill cap and the Site 1 offshore area. The
installation also submitted an interim ROD for Tank Farm
Number 5. The cleanup progress at Naval Station Newport for
FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the installation completed the Phase II remedial action
(RA) for Site 1 offshore area. The draft final feasibility study
(FS) for Site 9 was completed. The draft proposed RA plan was
submitted to regulators for Site 9. The operations and
maintenance plan for the offshore area of Site 1 was initiated.
Long-term management (LTM) continued for the Site 1 onshore
RCRA cap. The Navy completed an inventory of all Military
Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites. One MMRP site
was identified at this installation.
In FY03, the Navy completed a total petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH)- and PCB-contaminated soil removal action on Gould
Island. The Navy removed 207 tons of TPH-contaminated soils
with concentration greater than 5,000 parts per million (ppm)
and 8,632 tons of TPH-contaminated soils with concentration
less than 5,000 ppm. In addition, the Navy treated and
discharged 326,416 gallons of TPH-contaminated water. The
Navy removed 693 tons of PCB-contaminated soil and treated
and discharged 70,000 gallons of PCB-contaminated water
from the excavation. The installation submitted the draft
remedial investigation (RI) work plan for the field investigation

at Site 17 to regulatory agencies. The Navy began the
preliminary assessment (PA) study for potential MMRP sites at
the installation. The internal draft PA report was prepared. The
Navy identified unexploded ordnance (UXO) 000001 Carr Point
Shooting Range as an eligible MMRP site that will need further
investigation, based on initial review. An additional UXO site,
Sachuest Point Rifle Range, was also identified, but it was
determined that this property fell under the FUDS program. The
Navy held a public meeting to discuss an onshore soil removal
action at Site 9.
In FY04, the installation performed a site inspection (SI) at Site
4. For Site 8, the installation prepared the draft and draft final
study area screening evaluation (SASE) reports, finalized the
background study work plan, and awarded a removal action to
remove several drums and paint cans discovered during the
study area screening assessment. For Site 9, the installation
completed the pre-design investigation for the soil removal
action, and awarded the first phase of a soil removal action to
remove three soil mounds approximating 11,000 cubic yards. It
also developed a draft sediment and groundwater monitoring
work plan. The installation completed the SI work plan for Sites
12 and 13, and the RI work plan for Site 17. For Site 19,
sediment sampling was completed and will be used to update
and finalize the FS for the offshore area. For Site 20, a draft
SASE was prepared. A 5-year review was completed. The
installation prepared the draft, draft final, and final PA for the
Carr Point Shooting Range. The draft final report recommended
no further action. The RAB met nine times, including a bus tour
of the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites.
In FY05, Naval Station Newport initiated Site 12 and Site 13
SIs. The installation completed the Site 17 RI fieldwork. The
installation completed the Site 20 study area screening
assessment. Removal action for Site 008 was completed.
Under the MMRP, the installation finalized the PA for the Carr
Point Shooting Range, which recommended proceeding to the
SI phase.
p‰HT2s‚€2€�������
Naval Station Newport completed the optimization review for
Site 009.
The installation submitted the draft final work plan for Site 008;
however, regulatory issues delayed its final completion and the
associated fieldwork. Funding issues delayed LTM at Site 001.
