Pease Air Force Base (AFB) served as a Strategic Air<br />

Command bomber and tanker base. The BRAC Commission<br />

recommended closure of Pease AFB in 1988 and EPA placed<br />

the installation on the NPL in February 1990. In March 1991,<br />

the installation closed. Studies identified the following site<br />

types: fire training areas, burn pits, industrial facilities, landfills,<br />

and underground storage tanks. The installation signed a<br />

federal facility site remediation agreement (FFSRA) in<br />

September 1992, which was renegotiated in July 2002 to<br />

address early transfers. Groundwater and soil are contaminated<br />

with petroleum products (JP-4 jet fuel) and industrial solvents,<br />

such as trichloroethylene (TCE). Before closure, the installation<br />

completed interim remedial actions (RAs) at four sites, soil<br />

removal at three sites, and test pit operations at two sites. The<br />

installation formed a BRAC cleanup team (BCT) in FY93 and a<br />

Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in FY95. The installation<br />

completed 5-year reviews in FY99 and FY04.<br />

To date, 10 Records of Decision (RODs) have been signed.<br />

The cleanup progress at Pease AFB for FY02 through FY05 is<br />

detailed below.<br />

In FY02, the installation initiated the design for the Zone 3<br />

remedy change. Coordination with local water suppliers was<br />

underway. RA system operation, monitoring, long-term<br />

management (LTM), and trend analysis continued. The<br />

installation completed a proposed plan and drafted a ROD<br />

amendment for Zone 3. The installation signed a renegotiated<br />

FFSRA to address early transfer.<br />

In FY03, the installation prepared and submitted the draft final<br />

ROD amendment for the Zone 3 remedy change. The<br />

institutional control management plan was developed and<br />

implementation of the plan began. The installation submitted<br />

the RA plan for flightline sites to the State. RA system<br />

operation, monitoring, LTM, and trend analysis continued.<br />

In FY04, the installation constructed the wellhead protection<br />

system for the Haven Well. The installation completed a<br />

detailed characterization of refueling system contamination<br />

near the well, including an analysis of the alternatives meeting<br />

New Hampshire requirements for RA at the site. Monitoring and<br />

the operation of remedial systems continued. The installation<br />

initiated optimization evaluations for several locations. An<br />

operating properly and successfully (OP&S) demonstration was<br />

accepted by EPA for Site 73 (ID 073), and OP&S<br />

documentation was drafted for the remaining Zone 3 sites. The<br />

installation completed the second 5-year review. The Air Force<br />

conducted an inventory of Military Munitions Response<br />

Program (MMRP) sites. MMRP sites were identified at this<br />

installation.<br />

In FY05, the installation completed the RA plan for Plumes<br />

13/14 located in the flightline area. The installation continued<br />

monitoring and operations of remedial systems and continued<br />

optimization activities. In addition, the installation completed the<br />

OP&S demonstration for Zone 3 and Site 49. The installation<br />

developed findings of suitability to transfer for the remaining<br />

parcels and transferred all remaining property to the Pease<br />

Development Authority. The Air Force began evaluating<br />

requirements at MMRP sites at this installation. RAB and BCT<br />

activities continued.<br />

Pease AFB continued monitoring and optimization efforts for all<br />

sites. The cost of completing environmental restoration has<br />

changed significantly due to technical issues and changes in<br />

estimating criteria.<br />

The installation awarded the contract for the installation and<br />

operation of the RA for Plume 13/14; however, contractual<br />

issues delayed the execution of the RA plans.<br />
