When in operation, Fort Chaffee supported light infantry and<br />
mobilization missions. In July 1995, the BRAC Commission<br />
recommended closure of Fort Chaffee, except for the minimum<br />
essential buildings and ranges for a Reserve component<br />
training enclave. Primary site types include underground<br />
storage tanks, a fire training area, landfills, and hazardous<br />
waste and hazardous material storage areas. Primary<br />
contaminants of concern include petroleum/oil/lubricants<br />
(POLs) in groundwater and soil; solvents in groundwater; and<br />
pesticides in soil. The community formed a local redevelopment<br />
authority (LRA) in FY95. In FY96, the installation formed a<br />
BRAC cleanup team (BCT) and a Restoration Advisory Board<br />
(RAB). The installation closed in FY97. In FY99, the installation<br />
completed all previously funded work on the enclave sites,<br />
passing full responsibility for the sites to the National Guard. In<br />
FY04, the installation closed out the BCT and the RAB. The<br />
Army completed 5-year reviews in FY06.<br />
The BRAC parcel available for transfer was approximately<br />
7,037 acres. To date, the Army has completed nine Records of<br />
Decision (RODs). Seven of the signed RODs included no<br />
further action (NFA) provisions. The cleanup progress at Fort<br />
Chaffee for FY02 through FY04 is detailed below.<br />
In FY02, the Army signed the ROD V and amended the action<br />
memorandum for the Pesticide Handling Area Building 477<br />
(FTCH 042). The landfill closeout reports for both FTCH 001<br />
and 032 were completed. The installation initiated development<br />
of a land use control implementation plan (LUCIP). The<br />
installation completed groundwater monitoring plans for three<br />
sites. The Army initiated an inventory of closed, transferred,<br />
and transferring (CTT) ranges and sites with unexploded<br />
ordnance, discarded military munitions, or munitions<br />
constituents.<br />
In FY03, the installation briefed stakeholders on the LUCIP for<br />
FTCHs 001, 013, 21E, and 032 and subsequently completed<br />
the document. The installation signed ROD VI, which included<br />
NFA for FTCHs 013 and 045, and specified an industrial use<br />
control and 5-year reviews for FTCH 013. The installation<br />
signed finding of suitability to transfer (FOST) V to facilitate the<br />
transfer of the remaining acreage at Fort Chaffee. The Army<br />
completed the BRAC CTT range and site inventory report for<br />
Army<br />

Fort Chaffee. All six areas addressed in the report are part of<br />
FTCH 48C, a site listed as response complete. Of these six<br />
areas, four are low risk and two are negligible risk.<br />
In FY04, the Fort Chaffee Base Transition Team (BTT)<br />
provided stakeholders, including the City of Fort Smith,<br />
Sebastian County, and the Fort Chaffee LRA, with the<br />
supporting documents for the completed LUCIP. The BTT also<br />
issued the first FTCH 21E annual groundwater monitoring<br />
report and reviewed it with the BCT and RAB. The Army closed<br />
out the BCT and RAB. The installation shipped administrative<br />
files to the Army Environmental Center and closed the<br />
environmental site office.<br />

Fort Chaffee completed the 5-year reviews for landfills FTCHs<br />
001 and 032. The cost of completing environmental restoration<br />
has changed significantly due to changes in estimating criteria.<br />
Funding issues delayed the abandonment of groundwater<br />
monitoring wells at FTCHs 001 and 032.<br />

The Army has identified no Military Munitions Response<br />
Program (MMRP) sites at this installation.<br />
