Ordnance and Explosive Wastes (OEW) are included in the CERCLA definition of pollutants and contaminants that require a remedial response. In 1983, the Environmental Restoration Defense Account (ERDA) was established by Public Law 98-212. This Congressionally directed fund was to be used for environmental restoration at Department of Defense (DOD) active installations and formerly used properties. The DOD designated the Army as the sole manager for environmental restoration at closed installations and formerly used properties. The Secretary of the Army assigned this mission to the Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1984. The 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) amended certain aspects of CERCLA, some of which directly related to OEW contamination. Chapter 160 of the SARA established the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP). One of the goals specified for the DERP is "correction of environmental damage (such as detection and disposal of unexploded ordnance) which creates an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or to the environment." The DERP requires that a CERCLA response action be undertaken whenever such "imminent and substantial endangerment" is found at: A. A facility or site that is owned by, leased to, or otherwise possessed by the United Stated and under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Defense. B. A facility or site that was under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Defense and owned by, leased to, or otherwise possessed by the United States at the time of actions leading to contamination. C. A vessel owned or operated by the Department of Defense. The National Contingency Plan (NCP) was established by the Clean Water Act of 1972. The NCP has been revised and broadened several times since then. Its purpose is to provide the organizational structure and procedures for remedial actions to be taken in response to the presence of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants at a site. Section 105 of the 1980 CERCLA states that the NCP shall apply to all response actions taken as a result of CERCLA requirements. The March 1990 National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan given in 40 CFR part 300 is the latest version of the NCP. Paragraph 300.120 states that "DOD will be the removal response authority with respect to incidents involving DOD military weapons and munitions under the jurisdiction, custody, and control of DOD." On 5 April 1990, U.S. Army Engineer Division, Huntsville (USAEDH) was designated as the USACE Mandatory Center of Expertise (MCX) and Design Center for Ordnance and Explosive Waste (OEW). As the MCX and Design Center for OEW, USAEDH is responsible for the design and successful implementation of all Department of the Army OEW remediations required by CERCLA. USAEDH also designs and implements OEW remediation programs for other branches of the Department of Defense when requested. In cooperation with the Huntsville Division, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis District has been assigned the task of preparing Archives Search Reports (ASR) for those Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) suspected of chemical warfare materials (CWM) contamination. 1.2 Subiect The Sharpe Army Depot - Stockton Field Annex (hereafter referred to as Field Annex) was located in San Joaquin County, California, approximately four miles southwest of the City of Stockton (Map 2). The Field Annex is one of four facilities that comprised the Sharpe Army Depot. The other three facilities are the depot in Lathrop, California, the Tracy Annex in Tracy, California, and Rough and Ready Island near Stockton, California. Of the four facilities, only the Field Annex is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS). The other three facilities are still active DOD sites with no formerly used portions. The Field Annex is not on the list of suspected CWM sites, but since it was associated with the Sharpe Army Depot and the Stockton Military Airfield (both of which are on the CWM site list), pertinent information found during research for these two sites is presented in this ASR. This ASR was originally intended to address the potential for CWM and OEW contamination at the depot in Lathrop, California. The Field Annex was constructed on a 100 acre,

  • Transitions for the Delta Economy
    Transitions for the Delta Economy January 2012 Josué Medellín-Azuara, Ellen Hanak, Richard Howitt, and Jay Lund with research support from Molly Ferrell, Katherine Kramer, Michelle Lent, Davin Reed, and Elizabeth Stryjewski Supported with funding from the Watershed Sciences Center, University of California, Davis Summary The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta consists of some 737,000 acres of low-lying lands and channels at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers (Figure S1). This region lies at the very heart of California’s water policy debates, transporting vast flows of water from northern and eastern California to farming and population centers in the western and southern parts of the state. This critical water supply system is threatened by the likelihood that a large earthquake or other natural disaster could inflict catastrophic damage on its fragile levees, sending salt water toward the pumps at its southern edge. In another area of concern, water exports are currently under restriction while regulators and the courts seek to improve conditions for imperiled native fish. Leading policy proposals to address these issues include improvements in land and water management to benefit native species, and the development of a “dual conveyance” system for water exports, in which a new seismically resistant canal or tunnel would convey a portion of water supplies under or around the Delta instead of through the Delta’s channels. This focus on the Delta has caused considerable concern within the Delta itself, where residents and local governments have worried that changes in water supply and environmental management could harm the region’s economy and residents.

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.

  • 2. the Legacies of Delta History
    2. TheLegaciesofDeltaHistory “You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.” Heraclitus (540 BC–480 BC) The modern history of the Delta reveals profound geologic and social changes that began with European settlement in the mid-19th century. After 1800, the Delta evolved from a fishing, hunting, and foraging site for Native Americans (primarily Miwok and Wintun tribes), to a transportation network for explorers and settlers, to a major agrarian resource for California, and finally to the hub of the water supply system for San Joaquin Valley agriculture and Southern California cities. Central to these transformations was the conversion of vast areas of tidal wetlands into islands of farmland surrounded by levees. Much like the history of the Florida Everglades (Grunwald, 2006), each transformation was made without the benefit of knowing future needs and uses; collectively these changes have brought the Delta to its current state. Pre-European Delta: Fluctuating Salinity and Lands As originally found by European explorers, nearly 60 percent of the Delta was submerged by daily tides, and spring tides could submerge it entirely.1 Large areas were also subject to seasonal river flooding. Although most of the Delta was a tidal wetland, the water within the interior remained primarily fresh. However, early explorers reported evidence of saltwater intrusion during the summer months in some years (Jackson and Paterson, 1977). Dominant vegetation included tules—marsh plants that live in fresh and brackish water. On higher ground, including the numerous natural levees formed by silt deposits, plant life consisted of coarse grasses; willows; blackberry and wild rose thickets; and galleries of oak, sycamore, alder, walnut, and cottonwood.

  • Sacramento San Joaquin Delta Atlas
    State of California The Resources Agency DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES SACRAMENTO-SAN JOAQUIN DELTA ATLAS August 1987 FOREWORD The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta was originally a tidal marsh formed at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and Suisun Bay. More than 80 percent of this former marsh was leveed and developed for agriculture from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. Today the Delta islands and levees are of statewide importance for agriculture, water quality, flood control, recreation, fish and wildlife, water supply, commercial shipping, transportation, and other benefits. This Atlas is the result of information gathered during Department of Water Resources studies on Delta programs and, in particular, the recent studies for Delta levee improvements. The Atlas provides background information that should be helpful for people trying to understand and address complex problems of this estuary. The information is presented in a series of figures, photographs, and tables for easy reference. David N.

  • Jones Tract Flood Water Quality Investigations Iii
    Division of Environmental Services California Department of Water Resources July 2009 Arnold Schwarzenegger Mike Chrisman Lester A. Snow Governor Secretary for Resources Director State of California Natural Resources Agency Department of Water Resources Jones Tract Flood Water Quality Investigations iii Executive Summary Purpose The report documents all the water quality data collected by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) at Upper Jones Tract and Lower Jones Tract and the Middle River after the levee breached at Upper Jones Tract. Sampling was conducted while Middle River was filling the Upper Jones Tract and Lower Jones Tract and continued through the levee repair and the dewatering. Analyses were done with the monitoring data required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) and the independent data collected by DWR staff. Because the delta provides drinking water to many Californians, a comprehensive monitoring program was implemented to collect and analyze the water quality constituents. The methods used by the field staff as well as the Bryte Laboratory have been summarized in the report, and the analyses done by laboratories under contract to DWR also are described. The results and the discussion of the data analysis are in Chapter 3. Within the overall DWR goal of recovering Jones Tract from the levee breech and flood, the Municipal Water Quality Investigations Branch of the Division of Environmental Services of DWR undertook the water quality monitoring with 3 project purposes: 1 Evaluate the water quality of pump discharge as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to meet water quality objectives; 2 Evaluate water quality at the pump-out site to determine possible water quality effects to delta waters used for municipal purposes; and 3 Gather and analyze data that might help assess potential water quality effects of future island water storage projects.
