The War Department utilized the facility from 1942-1965 for the purpose of storage and supply. Maintenance and storage of Nike equipment also took place at this facility. The majority of the property is being developed for commercial activities, while a smaller portion of the property is owned by local residents and a local school district. This property is known or suspected to contain military munitions and explosives of concern (e.g., unexploded ordnance) and therefore may present an explosive hazard.

Surface Water (Fresh): High Risk
Surface water is directed to feeder creeks, which will eventually feed into Duck Creek. Eco-populations have access to, and live in these surface waters. Critical area identified under the clean lakes program.
Contaminants: Lead 252.0 ug/L Iron 33000.0 ug/L
Soil: Medium Risk
The possibility exists for the contaminants to migrate to a point of exposure. Updated April 24, 2001 Data from Revised Final RI Report dated April 2001 Groundskeepers and workers on site may have access to the landfill areas. Until characterization of the site is complete, we will not know the extent to which PCBs and possibly dioxins have washed from the landfill to different areas of the site. Once k

Update (Dec. 5, 2017): We have changed the source of the installation cost data after being notified by the Department of Defense that they erroneously reported their own cost figures on the DERP website. We are now displaying the costs the department says are the most accurate available, from the Pentagon’s DERP database that we received in a FOIA request.
Note: The risk level of a site refers to a relative risk assessment made by the DOD to prioritize the cleanup of sites.
Data: All data comes from the Defense Environmental Restoration Program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will be released soon at the ProPublica Data Store. Read our methodology »
