Environmental studies at Richards-Gebaur Air Reserve Station
(ARS) began in FY82. In July 1991, the BRAC Commission
recommended closure of the installation and it was closed on
September 30, 1994. Prominent site types identified at the
installation include a fire training area, vehicle maintenance
areas, hazardous waste drum storage areas, fuel storage
areas, and underground storage tanks (USTs). An
Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) was completed in FY94.
The installation formed a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in
1994, which adjourned in FY04 after unanimous agreement that
their mission had been completed. The community relations
plan (CRP) was updated in FY04 to indicate the status of
remediation efforts and identify ongoing opportunities for
community involvement.
The basewide evaluation and consolidation study, completed in
FY99, identified 23 sites. Of the 23 sites, 3 sites required no
further response action planned (NFRAP) decision documents
(DDs), 16 sites required remedial investigations (RIs), and the
remaining 4 sites, as well as 6 subsequently identified sites,
required closure under Missouri RCRA-C UST regulations. The
installation completed the Records of Decision (ROD) for
Operable Units (OUs) 1 and 2 in FY04. In FY06,
Richards-Gebaur ARS transferred environmental responsibility
for Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites SS 003 and SS
009 to the Marine Corps. The cleanup progress at
Richards-Gebaur ARS for FY02 through FY05 is detailed
below.
In FY02, the Air Force submitted a supplemental RI report to
regulators for two new sites identified as a result of the EBS site
inspection. The engineering evaluation and cost analysis was
approved by regulators and remedial actions (RAs) were
completed to address contaminated soil sites. RAs for the EBS
sites were completed. A draft feasibility study (FS) and
proposed plan (PP) were completed. The Air Force, along with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, held quarterly RAB
meetings to keep the public informed of ongoing environmental
activities at the base.
In FY03, the draft ROD for OUs 1 and 2 was completed and
submitted to regulators. The interim action report for soil and
sediment for OU 1, the focused FS for OU 1, and the FS for OU

2 were completed and received regulatory concurrence.
NFRAP DDs were completed for Areas of Concern (AOCs) 001
and 002, and Sites OT 010 and ST 007, which attained
residential soil remediation goals. The NFRAP DDs for AOCs
001 and 002 and Site OT 010 were signed. The installation
completed a finding of suitability to transfer for Parcels K and L.
A PP was completed and presented to the community.
In FY04, the ROD for OUs 1 and 2 was completed and signed.
The NFRAP DD was completed and signed for Site ST 007.
The Air Force conducted an inventory of Military Munitions
Restoration Program (MMRP) sites. No MMRP sites were
identified at this installation. The CRP was updated to indicate
the status of remediation efforts and identify ongoing
opportunities for community involvement. The RAB adjourned
after the members unanimously agreed that their mission had
been completed.
In FY05, the installation completed the land use
control/institutional control (LUC/IC) management plan and
updated the groundwater monitoring plan. The installation also
conducted semiannual groundwater monitoring at six sites and
annual LUC/IC inspections. In addition, the installation
transferred the remainder of base property to the City of
Kansas City and the Marine Corps Reserves.

The installation conducted semiannual groundwater monitoring
at six sites and conducted the annual LUC/IC inspections. The
Air Force conducted field activities associated with the first
5-year review and prepared the draft 5-year review report. The
installation transferred environmental responsibility for IRP sites
SS 003 and SS 009 to the Marine Corps.
Richards-Gebaur ARS initiated meetings with the Kansas City
Port Authority to evaluate the feasibility of entering into an
environmental services cooperative agreement (ESCA) for
responsibility of long-term management of the remaining
remedies. Technical issues delayed the completion of the
5-year review.
