In 1995, the BRAC Commission recommended the closure of<br />
Fort Ritchie. The installation closed in September 1998.<br />
Environmental contamination at Fort Ritchie resulted from<br />
underground storage tanks (USTs), various firing ranges, and a<br />
skeet range. The ranges may contain unexploded ordnance<br />
(UXO). Housing units and administrative buildings contain<br />
asbestos and lead-based paint. Interim actions at the<br />
installation included removal or replacement of USTs, relining<br />
of sewer lines with plastic, removal of falling lead paint and<br />
high-hazard friable asbestos, closure of an incinerator, and<br />
UXO removals. In FY96, the Army formed a BRAC cleanup<br />
team and a Restoration Advisory Board. Measures to improve<br />
communication and decision making at the installation include<br />
forming a planning group, conducting meetings at the town hall,<br />
conducting quarterly in-progress reviews, establishing hotlines<br />
to answer employee questions, and relaying installation<br />
updates to the local news media. In FY97, the installation<br />
completed the UXO archive search with the help of the U.S.<br />
Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District. In FY98, the<br />
installation completed the UXO sampling and UXO interim<br />
characterization report. In FY99, the Army published a final<br />
engineering evaluation and cost analysis for the ordnance and<br />
explosives impact area.<br />
To date, the installation has completed one Record of Decision<br />
(ROD). The Army has made more than 300 acres of non-UXO<br />
property available for reuse. The cleanup progress at Fort<br />
Ritchie for FY02 through FY05 is detailed below.<br />
In FY02, the Army successfully completed the motor pool<br />
treatability study and initiated the corrective action plan (CAP).<br />
The installation completed the burn pit delineation and<br />
subsequent removal action. The installation also completed<br />
decision documents (DDs) for no further action on Operable<br />
Units 5, 8, 14, and 16. The Army completed 90 percent of the<br />
UXO removal, as well as the draft inventory of closed,<br />
transferred, and transferring (CTT) ranges and sites with UXO,<br />
discarded military munitions (DMM), or munitions constituents<br />
(MC).<br />
In FY03, the Army completed Phase II of the motor pool CAP.<br />
The Army completed the munitions and explosives of concern<br />
(MEC) removal action report, DD, finding of suitability to<br />
Army<br />

transfer (FOST), and final inventory of CTT ranges and sites<br />
with UXO, DMM, or MC. The inventory identified six Military<br />
Munitions Response Program (MMRP) sites at this installation,<br />
all of which are response complete.<br />
In FY04, the installation completed the polishing round of<br />
permanganate treatment under the motor pool floor slab and<br />
continued monitoring motor pool wellheads.<br />
In FY05, Fort Ritchie continued monitoring motor pool<br />
wellheads. The installation completed the feasibility study (FS)<br />
and proposed plan (PP) for motor pool. The installation<br />
completed the MEC removal action in the Fill Area.<br />
p‰HT2s‚€2€�������<br />
Fort Ritchie completed a revised FS, a revised PP that<br />
recommended land use controls with monitoring, and a revised<br />
draft ROD for the motor pool. The installation initiated long-term<br />
monitoring (LTM) for motor pool. The cost of completing<br />
environmental restoration has changed significantly due to<br />
technical issues.<br />
Technical and regulatory issues delayed the FOST and the DD<br />
for the motor pool.<br />
