In July 1991, the BRAC Commission recommended closure of<br />
England Air Force Base (AFB). The installation, used as a<br />
tactical fighter wing, closed in December 1992. Sites identified<br />
at the installation include landfills, underground storage tanks,<br />
aboveground storage tanks, fire training areas, oil-water<br />
separators, a sewage treatment pond, a low-level radiation site,<br />
and gas training kit burial sites. The installation formed a BRAC<br />
cleanup team (BCT) in FY93 and a Restoration Advisory Board<br />
(RAB) in FY94. The BRAC cleanup plan was updated in FY95<br />
and FY04. The RAB disbanded in FY00 due to lack of<br />
community interest.<br />
Environmental studies have identified 46 <strong>Installation</strong><br />
Restoration Program (IRP) sites at the installation. A RCRA<br />
facility assessment conducted in FY92 identified 5 areas of<br />
concern and 59 solid waste management units (SWMUs). In<br />
FY98, 14 sites were closed and officially transferred to the local<br />
redevelopment authority (LRA). In FY99, 19 additional sites<br />
were closed. The Air Force transferred 152 acres in FY04 and<br />
384 acres in FY06 to the LRA. The cleanup progress at<br />
England AFB for FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.<br />
In FY02, the installation completed draft post closure plans for<br />
Spill Site 45 (SS 045) [trichloroethylene (TCE) plume], SWMU<br />
41 Landfill (LF) 015, and the petroleum/oil/lubricant (POL) Yard<br />
(SS 021). Quarterly long-term management (LTM) was<br />
conducted for SS 021 and LF 015, and remedial action<br />
operation (RA-O) was conducted for SS 045. TCE in the<br />
groundwater was determined to have migrated outside the area<br />
where studies indicated monitored natural attenuation (MNA)<br />
would be effective. The BRAC environmental coordinator<br />
determined that 11 sites required some explosive ordnance<br />
disposal clearance investigation/certification work.<br />
In FY03, the installation conducted additional sampling and<br />
data research to include EPA Adda Lab field investigation for<br />
microbial DNA for specific microbes. Additional sentry<br />
monitoring wells were installed to further define the eastern<br />
TCE plume boundary. EPA identified microbes that break down<br />
TCE in half of the TCE plume. The installation worked with<br />
regulators to finalize the 13 final reports containing the sites on<br />
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments permit and<br />
incorporated comments.<br />

In FY04, the installation transferred 152 acres to the LRA and<br />
continued the MNA for the TCE plume to comply with<br />
post-closure plans. The installation revised the corrective action<br />
permit application as requested by the state. The Air Force<br />
conducted an inventory of Military Munitions Response<br />
Program (MMRP) sites. MMRP sites were identified at this<br />
installation.<br />
In FY05, the installation conducted LTM at LF 015 and SS 021,<br />
and RA-O at SS 045. The installation developed an alternative<br />
strategy for site closure and submitted it for review. Two BCT<br />
meetings were held. The Air Force began evaluating<br />
requirements at MMRP sites at this installation.<br />
p‰HT2s‚€2€�������<br />
The installation continued LTM at LF 015 and RA-O at SS 045.<br />
The Air Force transferred approximately 384 acres to the LRA.<br />
The installation submitted the first 5-year review to state<br />
regulators. The installation developed the operating properly<br />
and sucessfully (OP&S) determination report for SS 045, which<br />
will be submitted with the RCRA corrective action permit<br />
renewal application.<br />
Regulatory issues delayed LTM at SS 021 and the renewal<br />
application for the RCRA corrective action permit. Contractual<br />
delays prevented submittal of the 5-year review to EPA.<br />
Two BCT meetings were held.<br />
p‰HT2ww‚€2€�������<br />
The installation initiated munitions and explosives of concern<br />
(MEC) clearance activities at three sites. The Air Force<br />
evaluated the requirements necessary to administratively close<br />
the remaining eight MMRP sites.<br />
