In May 2012, Pace Analytical Services, Inc. completed confirmatory sampling and analysis of groundwater at the Small Arms Range Landfill. , Representatives of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Superfund Division and the U.S. Air Force Reserve's 934th Airlift Wing performed a site inspection in May 2012 to evaluate the site access restrictions and site maintenance. Based on the analytical results and the observed conditions during the site inspection, the remedial actions implemented at the Small Anns Range Landfill remain protective of human health and the environment.

The remedy is functioning as intended because no inappropriate site uses are occurring, and no groundwater use is occurring. Long term protectiveness requires compliance with effective ICs. Compliance with effective ICs will be ensured through long-term stewardship by maintaining and monitoring effective ICs as well as maintaining the site remedy components. Because the remedial actions at the SARL are protective, the site is protective of human health and the environment. 5 Fourth Five-Year Review Report I. Introduction The Small Anns Range Landfill (SARL) site is a two-acre site located on an Air Force-owned parcel of property known as the Snelling Small Anns Range Annex, within the "Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory" of Hennepin County, Minnesota. The property is south-southeast of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP lAP), and is bordered by Fort Snelling State Park to the north; the Minnesota River to the east; Interstate 494 and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge to the south; and Minnesota Highway 5 to the west. A location map is presented in Appendix A, Figure I. The Snelling Small Arms Range Annex property is a geographically-separated unit of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Air Reserve Station (MSP lAP ARS), fonnerly known as the "Twin Cities Air Force Reserve Base." The 934th Airlift Wing (934 AW), U.S. Air Force Reserve, has control and oversight of the Snelling Small Anns Range Annex property, including the SARL. The SARL is within the 100 year flood plain for the Minnesota River and is prone to flooding, according to data produced in 2004 by the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey. There is no residential property located within a one mile radius of the SARL. The SARL site was used as an unpermitted landfill/dump site for approximately nine years. The site Record of Decision (ROD) identified contaminants of concern (COCs) for groundwater, surface water, and soils at the site. Groundwater COCs included twelve metals, five volatile organic compounds (YOCs), and one semivolatile organic compound (SYOC). Surface water COCs included six metals and one YOC. Soil COCs included five metals and one YOc. The ROD signed by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) established Contaminant-Specific Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) for the site as federal drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and State of Minnesota Recommended Allowable Limits (RALs) for groundwater COCs, and Federal Ambient Water Quality Criteria for surface water COCs. COCs for groundwater, surface water and soil, as well as Contaminant-Specific ARARs, are identified in Appendix B, Tables 1, 2 and 3. There were no Contaminant-Specific ARARs established for soil COCs. Location-specific ARARs and Action-Specific ARARs were not identified in the ROD. The selected remedy for the SARL consisted of natural attenuation of groundwater contamination, access restrictions, site maintenance and monitoring, and institutional controls. The Purpose of the Review The purpose of the Statutory Five-Year Review is to detennine whether the remedy selected and implemented for the SARL continues to be protective of human health and the environment. This Five-Year Review report identifies issues found during the review, if any, and provides recommendations to address them. Previous Five-Year Reviews were documented in 1998, 2003, and 2008. 6 Authority for Conducting the Five-Year Review This statutory Five-Year Review is conducted pursuant to Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 121(c) (42 USC § 9621(c)) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP). CERCLA Section 121 states: Ifthe President selects a remedial action that results in any hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remaining at the site, the President shall review

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.

The purpose of this Guidebook is to serve as a focal point for rated pilots interested in flying in the Air Force Reserve (AFR). Whether you are flying or have flown in the Air Force, a sister service, or have never served in the military, the AFR offers a wide variety of flying opportunities across the full spectrum of aircraft types, geographical locations, and job statuses allowing you to maintain currency, qualifications and proficiency—a great benefit for future flying opportunities! In order to view attachments, please open this document in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader and select VIEW > SHOW/HIDE > NAVIGATION PANES > ATTACHMENTS. 2. Sponsorship. To fly in the AFR, you will eventually need to be sponsored by a unit. Therefore, consider securing unit sponsorship prior to or concurrent with contacting a recruiter. Sponsorship is the act of being “hired” by an AFR flying squadron. Unlike active duty where you are assigned a squadron and aircraft, the Air Force Reserve allows you more control over where and what you fly—you just need to be sponsored by a unit that is flying the aircraft you want to fly at the base you choose.
