Since 1962, Newark Air Force Base (AFB) has provided<br />
depot-level maintenance for missile, guidance, and navigational<br />
systems used by most aircraft and missiles. In 1993, the BRAC<br />
Commission recommended that Newark be closed. The work at<br />
Newark AFB was privatized-in-place in 1996. Past waste<br />
management activities related to solvents, such as freon 113<br />
and trichloroethylene (TCE), have affected groundwater at the<br />
installation. An Environmental Baseline Survey was completed<br />
in 1994. In FY94, the installation formed a BRAC cleanup team<br />
(BCT) and a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) to support<br />
cleanup efforts. The RAB adjourned in FY05. The installation<br />
completed the first 5-year review in FY05.<br />
Through investigations, the installation has identified 14 sites.<br />
The installation prepared no further action decision documents<br />
(DDs) for five sites. Upon closure, 56 of the 70 acres<br />
comprising Newark AFB were transferred to the<br />
Heath-Newark-Licking County Port Authority, and the<br />
maintenance and repair are being conducted by contractors<br />
through a privatization contract. In FY03, a 13-acre parcel on<br />
the northern side of the former Newark AFB was transferred to<br />
Licking County Regional Airport. The cleanup process at<br />
Newark AFB from FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.<br />
In FY02, a focused supplementary remedial investigation<br />
concluded that bis-dichloroethylether (BCEE) in groundwater<br />
was due to an up-gradient, off-site source. A feasibility study<br />
recommended institutional controls as the remedial action for<br />
BCEE. A DD was signed and the last remedy in place (LRIP)<br />
for Site LF 002 was achieved. Three of the eight required<br />
cycles of quarterly monitoring to assess the success of the<br />
vegetable oil injection at the three-quarter acre Site FF 87 were<br />
completed. The 5-year review was rescheduled based on the<br />
1999 achievement of LRIP for the 56-acre parcel.<br />
In FY03, the Air Force transferred Site LF 002, totaling 13<br />
acres, to the Licking County Regional Airport Authority. An<br />
amended post closure plan (APCP) for Site FF 87 and the<br />
hazardous waste storage area was submitted for regulatory<br />
review.<br />
In FY04, the APCP for Site FF 87 was completed. Contaminant<br />
concentrations dramatically decreased at monitoring well (MW)<br />

87 1A. The Air Force conducted an inventory of Military<br />
Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites. No MMRP sites<br />
were identified at this installation.<br />
In FY05, the installation completed the first 5-year review. The<br />
enhanced bioremediation at Site FF 87 continues to make<br />
progress at the two remaining wells (MWs 87 1 and 87 1A)<br />
where concentrations of TCE exceed the maximum<br />
contaminant level. A performance-based contract was awarded<br />
for groundwater monitoring at Site FF 87. The BCT held one<br />
meeting, at which the installation presented proposed<br />
amendments to the post closure plan for the detection<br />
monitoring and bioremediation effectiveness monitoring<br />
program. The RAB formally adjourned in accordance with DoD<br />
policy because all environmental cleanup sites are closed with<br />
the exception of FF 87.<br />
p‰HT2s‚€2€�������<br />
Newark AFB continued remedial action-operation (RA-O)<br />
groundwater monitoring activities at Site FF 87. A proposal was<br />
submitted to amend the APCP for FF 87. The installation<br />
submitted a demonstration of a remedial system operating<br />
properly and successfully (OP&S) to EPA Region 5. The<br />
obsolete groundwater monitoring wells at previously transferred<br />
parcels were closed.<br />
Regulatory issues delayed EPA concurrence on the OP&S<br />
demonstration at Site FF 87.<br />
The BCT met twice and signed a consensus statement for no<br />
further groundwater monitoring at Site LF 002.<br />
