4.3 The condition of property has changed from conditions identified in the September 1995 SEES:

• Bioventing systems were installed and are currently in operation behind Bldg 6570 (Auto Hobby Shop) and on adjacent base properties to remove petroleum contamination from subsurface soils (see Section 5.2).

• The Flight Line Drainage Ditch (FLDD) site located west of Bldg 6570 adjacent to Parcel B- 4 was cleaned up and there are no further human health concerns with this site.

• Smaller underground storage tank systems (USTs) previously used at buildings by the Air Force for domestic hot water during summer months when the Base Central Heat Plant was inactive were replaced by the Job Corps with larger USTs to provide year-round domestic hot water and individual facility heating.

• Additional facility heating oil USTs were installed by the Job Corps and registered with the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MEDEP).

• Major facility renovations/modifications to most buildings were performed byjthe Job Corps prior to opening in order to accomplish specific Job Corps requirements such as student living arrangements, classrooms, craftsman shops, etc. A new masonry shop building was constructed in the gymnasium's parking lot.

• Ball fields, light poles, backstop fence poles, and miscellaneous ball field support items were installed on and near the former asbestos disposal area on Parcel B-l in coordination with the Air Force to ensure integrity of the asbestos covers was not compromised.

5. RESTRICTIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS

The environmental documents listed in Section 1.2 were evaluated to identify environmental factors that require specific restrictions to preclude threat to human health or the environment or require notifications to the Transferee. The factors that require either restrictions or notifications are identified in Attachment 2 and are explained in this section.

Decision Document, Loring AFB, Parcels B, B-l. B-2, B-3. B-4, B-, B-6, and B-7 to Job Corps. Oct 98 The Ak Force has determined the factors listed in Attachment 2, and not discussed in this section, pose no threat to human health or the environment and therefore require neither restrictions nor notifications to the Transferee.

5.1 Hazardous Waste Accumulation Points. Former Ak Force hazardous waste satellite accumulation point areas in the former Auto Hobby Shop (Bldg 6570) were cleaned by contract project NRCH 94-0030, Remediate and Close Hazardous Waste Accumulation Pofnts, awarded by the US Army Corps of Engineers' New York District office under contract #DACA51-95-B- 0060 in September 1995. Scope of work included: (1) cleaning of two accumulation point areas inside of the Auto Hobby Shop building, a former paint waste area (confirmed) and a former petroleum waste area (suspected); (2) confirmatory sampling and analysis; and (3) certification as officially closed ("clean"). The Air Force submitted documentation for RCRA closure to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection on 31 October 1996.

5.2 Installation Restoration Program (QtP) and Areas of Concern (AOG)

5.2.1 There is one IRP site (Bldg 6570, Auto Hobby Shop) and one AOC (asbestos disposal area) located within the parcels of property to be transferred.

5.2.1.1 The Auto Hobby Shop was used to perform maintenance and repair activities on privately owned vehicles (POVs). An underground storage tank for the collection of waste oils was located on the southwest corner of the parcel until 1992. Surface soils around the tank inlet are stained and the waste oil tank is suspected to have leaked prior to its removal in 1992. Exposure threats to personnel working in and around the Auto Hobby Shop are minimal. IRP investigations arc currently in the Removal Action phase (treatment of petroleum contamination in soil to levels acceptable by MEDEP). Removal activities for petroleum contaminated surface soils located in the ditch north of Bldg 6570 were performed in fall 1995. Bio venting and monitoring wells for removal of subsurface petroleum and solvent contaminants were installed in summer 1996. No impact is expected to personnel working in or around the Auto Hobby Shop due to the operation of bioventing systems or monitoring activities. IRP documents and other information regarding the nature and extent of contaminant^ at this site, the investigative results to date, and planned cleanup actions are available in the environmental section of AFBCA/DA Loring and the Administrative Record for Loring AFB, ME.

5.2.1.2 A dormitory with asbestos containing materials (ACM) used to stand on Parcel B-l. The facility was demolished, covered in place, and is now an asbestos waste disposal area. The asbestos disposal area is officially classified as a closed site. The site was capped with soil and vegetative cover to State of Maine standards and no airborne hazards currently exist.

5.2.2 There are three IRP sites located on property adjacent to the Auto Hobby Shop that may impact the property to be transferred. These sites are: (1) the Flight Line Drainage Ditch (FLDD) located west of (behind) the Auto Hobby Shop; (2) the Power Plant Drainage Pipe (PPDP) and (3) Former Vehicle Motor Pool (FVMP) near Bldg 7270 located east across Pennsylvania Road from the Auto Hobby Shop. One IRP site, the Base Exchange Service Station (BXSS), is located on property northwest of and within 1/4 mile of Bldg 5000 on Parcel B-7.

Decision Document, Loring AFB, Parcels B, B-l. B-2, B-3. B-4. B-, B-6, and B-7 to Job Corps, Oct 98 5.2.2.1 The Flight Line Drainage Ditch (FLDD) is located adjacent to the Auto Hobby Shop's west parking lot, approximately 300 feet from the facility. Past fuel, oil, and solvent releases from industrial areas of the base were transported through storm water collection systems to this open drainage ditch and these releases contaminated the sediments that line the ditch. IRP actions are currently completed for the FLDD. Exposure threats to personnel working in and around the Auto Hobby Shop have been mitigated. IRP documents and other information regarding the nature and extent of contaminants at this site, the investigative results to date, and planned IRP activities actions are available in the environmental section of AFBCA/DA Loring and the Administrative Record for Loring AFB, ME. «,

5.2.2.2 The Power Plant Drainage Pipe ran from the base power plant, Bldg 7240, under Pennsylvania Road, and then discharged into the wet forested area on the north side of the Auto Hobby Shop. Contaminants include petroleum products and solvents. Exposure threats to personnel working hi and around the Auto Hobby Shop have been mitigated. IRP actions are currently in the Removal Action phase. Bioventing and monitoring wells for removal of subsurface petroleum contaminants were installed in summer 1996 and operation of bioventing systems has recently concluded. IRP documents and other information regarding the nature and extent of contaminants at this site, investigative results, and results of cleanup actions are available in the environmental section of AFBCA/DA Loring and the Administrative Record for Loring AFB, ME.

5.2.2.3 The Former Vehicle Motor Pool (FVMP) near Bldg 7270 had floor drains, storage sheds, and a possible oil trap that may have been sources for soil and groundwater contaminants beneath the site. Contaminants include waste petroleum products, hydraulic fluid, and antifreeze. Exposure threats to personnel working in and around the Auto Hobby Shop are minimal. IRP actions are currently in the Removal Action phase. Bioventing antf monitoring wells for removal of subsurface petroleum contaminants were installed in summer 1996 and operation of bioventing systems has recently concluded. IRP documents and other information regarding the nature and extent of contaminants at this site, investigative results, and results of cleanup actions are available in the environmental section of AFBCA/DA Loring and the Administrative Record for Loring AFB, ME.

5.2.2.4 The Base Exchange Service Station (BXSS), Bldg 2510, is located northwest of Bldg 5000 at the intersection of Texas Road and Cupp Road. The service station is very similar to typical civilian service stations that had older single-walled underground storage tanks for gasoline, fuel oil, and waste oil. The former single-walled tanks were installed in 1957. New tanks were installed in the early 1970s and original USTs taken out of service. The three original gasoline USTs were abandoned in place and filled with sand. IRP investigations identified petroleum contaminants in soils and groundwater table downgradient of Bldg 2510. Bioventing of soil contamination is currently in operation. IRP documents and other information regarding the nature and extent of contaminants at this site, investigative results, and results of cleanup actions are available in the environmental section of AFBCA/DA Loring-and the Administrative Record for Loring AFB, ME.

5.2.3 The Air Force has evaluated the risks associated with these sites and has determined that this property can be used pursuant to the proposed Transfer, with the specified

5.5 Lead-Based Paint (LBP) - Non-Child Support Facilities

5.5.1 LBP might be present in and on Buildings 4000 (Housing Maintenance), 5000 (Headquarters), 5900 (Gymnasium), 5904 (Recreation Center), and 6570 (Auto Hobby Shop) since they were built prior to 1978. Refer to SEES Section 3.3.5 for more information.

5.5.2 The Transferee is notified through the BBS and SEBS of the possible presence of LBP in and on these facilities. The Transferee will be responsible for managing all LBP and potential LBP in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

5.6 Radon

5.6.1 In 1992, the Air Force tested for radon gas in Buildings 6350 and 6550 on the property to be Transferred and found levels of radon gas to be above the Environmental Protection Agency recommended action level of four picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The greatest concentration, 10.9 pCi/L, was found in Room #119B of Dormitory #6550.

5.6.2 Radon assessment results for dormitory units detected above the EPA recommended threshold of four pCi/L (based on a 95% confidence level) were provided at Appendix B of the September 1995 SEBS. This data was supplemented with a comprehensive

Decision Document, Loring AFB, Parcels B, B-l, B-2, B-3. B-4, B-, B-6. and B-7 to Job Corps, Ocl 98 list of results for all the subject dormitory housing units. The Transferee is notified through transfer documents of all available and relevant radon assessment data.

5.7 Hazardous Waste Management (by Transferee). The Transferee is anticipated to use hazardous materials in the Auto Hobby Shop (Bldg 6570) for maintenance and repair of automobiles and small trucks. In compliance with the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act (RCRA), the Transferee will be required to obtain and use an EPA hazardous waste identification number for all management, manifesting, tracking, and disposal of all hazardous wastes generated by the Job Corps activities.

5.8 Radioactive Signs. There were a total of 24 radioluminescent exit signs in two dormitories, Bldg 6350 (23) and Bldg 6550 (1), on the parcels to be transferred. A listing of the these signs, providing location and specific data about each sign, was provided hi Appendix D of the September 1995 SEBS. These signs contained low levels of radioactive substances that pose no exposure hazard when left undisturbed. These signs were officially transferred from the Air Force to the Department of Labor in a separate transfer document dated 1 December 1997.

5.9 Floodplains and Wetlands. Portions of the Flight Line Drainage Ditch, East Greenlaw Brook, West Greenlaw Brook are within 1/4 mile of the Job Corps parcels. These drainage ditches are considered a wetland and also part of the 100-year floodplain. Forested wetlands are located on the south side of Weinman Road, across from the dormitory complex and the Auto Hobby Shop, between South Wherry housing area (west) and Pennsylvania Road (east). The wooded area west of Cupp Road and north of Northcutt Road is also suspected to be a forested wetlands. However, because of their location, these conditions do not pose a concern to the transfer of Job Corps parcels.
