In 1995, the BRAC Commission realigned Red River Army
Depot (AD) by moving the M113 vehicle mission to other
depots. In 2005, the BRAC Commission realigned Red River
AD to close the munitions center and move the missile facilities.
The installation retained its Bradley Fighting Vehicle, intern
training, Patriot Missile, and rubber production missions. Areas
of environmental concern at the depot include spill sites
associated with previous industrial and pre-RCRA disposal
activities. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is the main contaminant
affecting groundwater at the installation. In FY95, the
installation formed a BRAC cleanup team and the community
formed the Red River Redevelopment Authority (RRRA). In
FY96, the installation formed a Restoration Advisory Board and
prepared a BRAC cleanup plan (BCP). The BCP was updated
in FY01. The installation maintains a partnership with the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission (now known as
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) through the
Defense and State Memorandum of Agreement program.
To date, the installation removed more than 2,000 cubic yards
of contaminated sediment from the north and south stormwater
drainage ditches in the Western Industrial Area (WIA). The
Army transferred 694 acres of the 797 acres of BRAC property
to the RRRA. The cleanup progress at Red River AD for FY02
through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the installation completed the cultural resources
memorandum of agreement and submitted it to the regulators
for review. It closed the south lagoon and initiated the WIA risk
assessment. The Army completed an inventory of closed,
transferred, and transferring ranges and sites with unexploded
ordnance, discarded military munitions, or munitions
constituents. The inventory identified five Military Munitions
Response Program (MMRP) sites at the non-BRAC, active
portion of this installation. It identified no BRAC MMRP sites.
In FY03, the installation completed the groundwater modeling
study in the WIA and submitted the study to the regulators. The
Army repaired the chrome and storm sewers by relining with
cured-in-place-piping. The installation completed the Hays
Plant Affected Property Assessment Report (APAR). The Army
awarded a contract for the removal of the chrome beds at the
industrial waste treatment plant. The installation expanded

sampling at the X 1 Sewer Treatment Plant to define the extent
of contamination. The Army presented its proposal to conduct a
pilot study of dual phase extraction to determine the potential
for removal of TCE from contaminated soils and groundwater.
The regulators agreed to the proposal as a sound method for
determining the technical practicability for removal of dense
non-aqueous phase liquid. The Army Environmental Center
analysis of the groundwater modeling projected a negligible
environmental impact from groundwater discharge to Panther
Creek. The installation initiated an MMRP site inspection (SI) in
the active portion of the installation.
In FY04, the installation completed a pilot study to determine
the treatability of TCE in the groundwater, which determined
that treating the TCE was not feasible using available
technology. The Army removed contaminated soil from the
former pesticide pit, the former Hays Sewer Treatment Plant,
and the chrome drying beds. It submitted the APAR and
response action completion report for these sites. The Army
installed four monitoring wells offsite to determine the degree of
contaminant migration from the installation. Three of the wells
were non-detect for TCE and one well had detections of TCE
below the action level. The installation took additional soil,
groundwater, surface water and sediment samples to define the
extent of contamination at the X 1 Sewer Treatment Plant. The
installation completed a finding of suitability to transfer (FOST)
approximately 14 acres. The Army submitted release
investigation reports for the former diesel transfer station at
Building 172 and the Industrial Waste Treatment Plant. The
Army added two MMRP sites to the inventory.
In FY05, the installation completed a soil remediation project at
the former Incinerator Building 722. In addition, the installation
awarded a performance-based contract for achieving response
complete at 14 contaminated sites. The Army submitted a
corrective measures implementation plan to the State for the
closed hazardous waste landfill. The installation completed a
draft SI and historical record review reports for MMRP sites.
p‰HT2s‚€2€�������
The Army completed APARs for Buildings 371 and 373, used
oil tanks, and the X 1 Sewer Treatment Plant. Red River AD
completed response action plans (RAPs) for Buildings 371,
373, 1027, the used oil tank facility, and the X 1 Sewer
Treatment Plant. The installation implemented the groundwater
monitoring plan for the closed Ordnance Training Center
hazardous waste landfill. The installation also completed two
FOST documents, totaling 38 acres for future transfer of this
property to the RRRA. The cost of completing environmental
restoration has changed significantly due to technical issues
and changes in estimating criteria.
