This Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) Technical Work Plan was prepared by Engineering Technologies Associates, Inc. (ETA) under Contract No. DACA31-92-D-0045, Delivery Order 0010, for the U. S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC). The study area is a storage facility for old vehicles, transformers and a variety of equipment. The site was formerly referred to as the Defense Property and Disposal Office (DPDO) Yard and is now known as the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) Yard. This Work Plan has been developed in accordance with the Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies Under CERCLA, United States Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHAMA) Geotechnical Requirements, and the USATHAMA Quality Assurance Program (1990). Under the 1988 Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC), approximately 9,000 acres of the 15,000 acre facility were designated for closure. In October 1991, 7,600 acres were transferred from the U.S. Army to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, south of Route 32. In January 1993, an additional 500 acres were also transferred and FGGM decided to retain the 308 acres including the Active Sanitary Landfill. Figure 1 is a map showing the physical location of the DRMO Yard in relation to the BRAC Land Parcels. The remaining 440 acres, including the Tipton Army Airfield, is scheduled for closure in September 1995. Figure No. 1 shows the DRMO site in relation to surrounding lands.
