Document Description
This project is the approval of a Removal Action Work Plan (RAW) by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for the removal of approximately 940 cubic yards of lead-(Pb-) affected soil from around the barracks and buildings at the Former Fort Ord training facility constructed between 1930 and 1976 by the U.S. Army. Site characterization indicates that the lead contamination is likely from lead-based paint residue and chips falling from up to 29 wood-sided buildings into nearby soils. characterization also indicated that the contamination, ranging from 203 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) to 15,000 mg/kg of lead, is mainly in the top few inches of soil (soil samples collected at 1foot below grade surface (bgs) did not contain elevated lead levels) and generally within three 3 feet of the dripline of building roofs. Lead-affected soil will be excavated, removed from the Site, and transported off site for disposal. Groundwater is not expected to be affected by this removal activity, since groundwater monitoring in the site vicinity has indicated that depth to water at the Site ranges from 160 to 230 feet bgs. The excavated soil will likely meet the characteristics of a hazardous waste in California due to the concentrations of lead in the soil. The removal action cleanup goal for lead (203 mg/kg total lead) is the based on the intended future use of the property as mixed residential with no health-based land use restrictions. Future development of the Site is planned for mixed residential and commercial uses and public parks.
