In July 1995, the BRAC Commission recommended closure of
the Stratford Army Engine Plant. The installation closed in
September 1998. Prior to closure, the installation manufactured
engines. Since FY91, environmental studies at the installation
have identified the following sites: transformers that contain
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), underground storage tanks
(USTs), sludge lagoons, a fire training and explosives
equipment testing area, hazardous materials and hazardous
waste storage areas, and buildings constructed with
asbestos-containing materials. Studies show that contaminants
include PCBs, fuel-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
solvents, metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and
asbestos. Interim actions at the installation have included
removal of 27 USTs, capping of 3 sludge lagoons, and removal
of chromium-contaminated soil. In FY96, the installation formed
a BRAC cleanup team and a Restoration Advisory Board
(RAB). The community formed a local redevelopment authority
to address socioeconomic issues related to closure of the
installation and to develop a land reuse plan. The installation
drafted a BRAC cleanup plan and updated the plan in FY97
and FY99. In FY98, the Army initiated the process for
terminating the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license by
preparing decommissioning plans and conducting radiological
surveys, and completed decommissioning in FY99. The
installation implemented a community relations plan, which
included the establishment of an on-site public information
repository.
The cleanup progress at Stratford Army Engine Plant for FY02
through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the installation completed cap construction on the
causeway. The Army continued remedial investigation (RI) work
in response to comments from regulators by conducting more
investigation. 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 no Military Munitions
Response Program (MMRP) sites.
In FY03, the installation submitted the draft final RI to regulators
and the RAB for review. The Army completed the final

inspection of the causeway cap. The installation worked with
the State to develop feasibility study (FS) alternatives.
In FY04, the installation completed the RI sampling and
submitted the final RI to regulators. The installation initiated
compliance sampling of subsurface soil gas. Additionally, the
installation drafted an FS.
In FY05, the installation submitted the draft FS and proposed
plan (PP). The PP outlines the prefered remedial alternatives to
address the unacceptable risks associated with soil, soil vapor,
and groundwater.

The installation addressed comments from regulators on the FS
and PP. The installation also addressed regulatory concerns
regarding the ecological risk assessment within the RI.
Regulatory issues delayed the FS, PP, and Record of Decision
(ROD).
