The Cecil Field Naval Air Station (NAS) supports the
maintenance of Naval weapons and aircraft. In July 1993, the
BRAC Commission recommended closure of this installation
and relocation of its aircraft, personnel, and equipment to other
stations. BRAC 1995 redirected associated bombing ranges to
Jacksonville NAS, reducing the BRAC footprint to 17,225 acres.
Operations that caused contamination include equipment
maintenance, storage and disposal of fuel and oil, fire training,
and training on target ranges. Investigations have identified 25
CERCLA sites, 10 major underground storage tank (UST) sites,
235 USTs, 250 BRAC grey sites, and 1 RCRA site. EPA placed
the installation on the NPL in November 1989 and signed a
federal facility agreement (FFA) in November 1990. A technical
review committee was formed in FY94 and converted to a
Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in FY95. A BRAC cleanup
team was formed in FY94. The installation completed 5-year
reviews in FY00 and FY05.
To date, the installation has signed 24 Records of Decision
(RODs) and 12 findings of suitability to transfer (FOSTs),
totaling 16,827 transferred acres, and delisted approximately
16,584 acres from the NPL. The cleanup progress at Cecil Field
NAS for FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the installation implemented a remedial action (RA) at
Site 36/37. The remedial investigation and feasibility study
(RI/FS) was completed for Sites 21 and 25. RODs for Sites 42,
44, and the old golf course were completed. The parks and
recreation Phase II FOST (12 acres) was completed. The
engineering evaluation and cost analysis for Sites 32 and 49
was completed. No further action (NFA) was achieved for
Potential Source of Contamination 39, Sites 42 and 44, and 824
OW, Tanks 367 and 428, and Building 610. The Navy
completed an inventory of all Military Munitions Response
Program (MMRP) sites. One MMRP site was identified at this
installation.
In FY03, Cecil Field NAS completed the RI/FS for Site 57/58.
The installation implemented RAs at Sites 21, 25, 32, 45, and
57/58 (without signed RODs), the jet engine test cell, and Tank
271. The installation completed 2 FOSTs for 18.2 acres. The
installation achieved the groundwater cleanup criteria at Sites
7, 11, and Building 610, and regulators approved the NFA. The

installation delisted 16,584 acres from the NPL. Additionally,
Site 15 was placed in the MMRP.
In FY04, the installation signed RODs for Sites 25, 32, and 45,
and completed land use control (LUC) remedial designs (RDs)
for Site 45. Cecil Field NAS also completed operating properly
and successfully (OP&S) at Sites 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, and 17. The
installation initiated the RA at North Fuel Farm and Day Tank 1,
and completed RAs at Sites 49 and 58. The Navy installed and
began operating air sparging systems at Building 271 and the
jet engine test cell. Cecil Field NAS completed the preliminary
assessment and site investigation for Site 59 and initiated the
RI. The installation transferred 224 acres. The Florida
Department of Environmental Protection issued a Hazardous
and Solid Waste Amendments Corrective Action Permit to the
installation.
In FY05, Cecil Field NAS completed the second 5-year review
for all sites and completed RODs for Sites 21, 57, and 58. In
addition, the facility signed a FOST that transferred 120.4
acres, and issued LUC RDs and OP&S documentation for Sites
1, 2, 3, 8, 16, and 17. The installation submitted draft OP&S
documentation and draft LUC RDs for Sites 5, 21, 25, 32, 57,
and 58 to regulators. Also, the facility completed Site 59 RI
fieldwork and completed the Site 15 FS and proposed plan.
The installation installed the North Fuel Farm air sparging
system and continued long-term operations and long-term
management (LTO/LTM) at 36 groundwater sites. The facility
completed munitions and explosives of concern (MECs)
investigation, and detonated found MECs at 20 acres of the
North Apron Expansion site. The installation celebrated the
10-year anniversary of the RAB.

Cecil Field NAS completed LTO/LTM at 36 sites. The
installation completed RAs at Site 49. The Navy signed RODs
at Sites 15 and 49 and approved OP&S documents and LUC
RDs for 8 sites. The installation implemented the
biostimulation/augmentation pilot study at Site 59.
Technical issues delayed the Site 15 RA. Regulatory concerns
with OP&S documents and LUC language delayed the signing
of FOSTs and deeds for 216 acres.

The installation completed MEC investigation and removal for
20 acres at Hangar 860 and two additional acres at the North
Apron Expansion site.
