Plattsburgh Air Force Base (AFB) was placed on the NPL in<br />
November 1989 after the former fire training area was<br />
determined to be a source of chlorinated solvents and benzene,<br />
toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene contamination in<br />
groundwater. The BRAC Commission recommended closure of<br />
Plattsburgh AFB in 1993. Site types include underground<br />
storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks, landfills, industrial<br />
facilities, spill sites, and training areas. In July 1991, the<br />
installation signed a federal facility agreement (FFA), which<br />
became effective September 1991. Plattsburgh AFB formed a<br />
technical review committee (TRC) in FY91. In FY94, the<br />
installation converted the TRC to a Restoration Advisory Board<br />
(RAB) to support cleanup efforts. In FY95, an installationwide<br />
environmental impact statement and a comprehensive land<br />
reuse plan were completed, and a community relations plan<br />
was drafted. In FY97, the Environmental Baseline Survey was<br />
updated. The BRAC cleanup plan was updated in FY04.<br />
Five-year reviews were completed in FY99 and FY04.<br />
Environmental studies at Plattsburgh AFB have identified 41<br />
sites for investigation and cleanup. To date, regulatory<br />
concurrence has been received for the closeout of 21 sites.<br />
Records of Decision (RODs) have been completed for 36 sites<br />
to date. The cleanup progress at Plattsburgh AFB for FY02<br />
through FY05 is detailed below.<br />
In FY02, the installation completed a cultural resources<br />
management plan, and submitted the interactive cultural<br />
resources Web site and historic cold war buildings recordation<br />
data for approval. A no further action (NFA) ROD was finalized<br />
for one site. Cleanup progress included completing a removal<br />
action using soil vapor extraction and initiating contaminated<br />
soil removal.<br />
In FY03, the Air Force signed a final ROD for one site and an<br />
interim ROD for the former fire training (FT) area 002 (FT 002)<br />
to facilitate construction of the selected remedy. The installation<br />
initiated construction of the final remedy for this site.<br />
In FY04, the installation partially completed construction of the<br />
remedy at FT 002 and initiated remedial action (RA) operation.<br />
The installation completed a preliminary assessment and site<br />
inspection (SI) at the former Weapons Storage Area. NFA was<br />

recommended and the appropriate documentation was<br />
completed. NFA decision documents were also completed for<br />
two other SIs. The second 5-year review was completed. The<br />
Air Force conducted an inventory of Military Munitions<br />
Response Program (MMRP) sites. MMRP sites were identified<br />
at this installation. The RAB conducted a tour of the FT 002 RA<br />
construction.<br />
In FY05, the installation completed construction of the FT 002<br />
remedy. The installation also continued operation of remedial<br />
systems and long-term management (LTM) activities at other<br />
restoration sites. The Air Force began evaluating requirements<br />
at MMRP sites at this installation. The RAB held two meetings.<br />

Plattsburgh AFB continued operation of remedial systems and<br />
LTM activities in support of remedial programs. The installation<br />
initiated a remedial process optimization study of the FT 002<br />
source operable unit. The cost of completing environmental<br />
restoration has changed significantly due to technical issues<br />
and changes in estimating criteria.<br />
No RODs were finalized by the installation due to regulatory<br />
issues and concerns involving evaluation of soil vapor intrusion<br />
(SVI) pathways.<br />
