Remedial investigation (RI) of the Fort Dix Sanitary Landfill
began in 1979, leading to the installation of groundwater
monitoring wells around the perimeter. Due to the identified
contamination, EPA placed the landfill on the NPL in 1987. In
FY89, the installation identified contamination at storage areas,
motor pools, abandoned underground storage tanks (USTs),
landfills, lagoons, impact areas, and an incinerator.
Contaminants identified include heavy metals, volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), petroleum/oil/lubricants (POLs), and
chlorinated solvents. The Army and EPA signed a federal
facility agreement (FFA) in September 1991. In FY95, the
BRAC Commission recommended realignment of Fort Dix, with
retention of land and facilities for Reserve component training.
In 2005, the BRAC Commission recommended Fort Dix for
realignment. The installation formed a Restoration Advisory
Board in FY96. In FY00, the Army petitioned EPA to remove
the Sanitary Landfill from the NPL. The installation completed
5-year reviews for the landfill in FY99 and FY05.
The installation has completed nine Records of Decision
(RODs) to date. In FY89, the installation performed site
characterization and field screening at 16 sites and, in 1993,
identified 42 areas requiring environmental evaluation. In FY97,
the installation removed 80 abandoned USTs and began
evaluating the contaminated sites. In FY99, the Sanitary Landfill
was added to EPA's construction complete list. The cleanup
progress at Fort Dix for FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.
In FY02, the Army initiated a remedial design and a remedial
action (RA) at the Taxi Stand site and an RI/feasibility study at
the Pesticide Control Shop. The UST RI report for Buildings
5390, 7061, and the golf course site were all completed. The
installation completed RODs for the Environmental
Photographic Interpretation Center 8 Landfill, Property Disposal
Office Landfill, hazardous waste storage area, paint shop,
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) transformer storage area,
Bivouac 5 wash rack, Magazine (MAG) 1 Area, and the golf
course pesticide mixing area. Fort Dix continued to pursue
deletion of the Sanitary Landfill from the NPL.
In FY03, the Army included MAG 1 Site, the Armament
Research and Development Center Site, leaking USTs 5390,
7061, and golf course leaking USTs in a contract for
Army

remediation of 14 sites at Fort Dix. Fort Dix continued to pursue
deletion of the Sanitary Landfill from the NPL. The installation
continued long-term monitoring at the Sanitary Landfill. The
Army completed the inventory of closed, transferred, and
transferring (CTT) ranges and sites with unexploded ordnance,
discarded military munitions, or munitions constituents for the
active portion of the installation. Six Military Munitions
Response Program (MMRP) sites were identified at this
installation.
In FY04, the installation awarded a guaranteed fixed price
remediation contract to conduct remediation at 14 sites. The
installation submitted RA work plans and RI reports to the
regulators and completed soil removals at two sites. The
installation continued long-term monitoring at the Sanitary
Landfill. The installation completed, and regulators approved,
the draft final RI report for the New Egypt Armory site, and an
interim removal action of PCB-contaminated soils was initiated.
The installation submitted the draft RI report for the former
Pesticide Control Shop to the regulators for comment. Fort Dix
initiated a 5-year review for the Sanitary Landfill and continued
to pursue its deletion from the NPL.
In FY05, the installation completed a 5-year review of the Fort
Dix Sanitary Landfill, as well as soil remediation at the New
Egypt Armory site. The installation continued remediation at 14
Fort Dix sites.
p‰HT2s‚€2€�������
Fort Dix continued remediation at the 14 Fort Dix sites under
the guaranteed fixed price remediation contract. The installation
completed in-situ treatment of the Taxi Stand Plume. The Army
continued the sitewide classification exception area
groundwater sampling. The installation began sentinel well
installation at the Sanitary Landfill and pursued NPL delisting.
Regulatory issues delayed the RI reports for the Range Landfill,
ANC 2 Disposal Area, and the amended RI report for the Taxi
Stand Plume.
