AOC 44 Delisting Report

Section 3 - Conclusions and Recommendations

3.1 - Conclusions and Recommendations

AOC‑44 was originally recognized by metal debris on the ground surface.  The site contained no scattered surface metal debris, but evidence of subsurface waste management.  Geophysical data were collected to verify that no subsurface waste was present at the site.  Geophysical data collected in March 1996 and January 2005 showed no signs of subsurface waste.  In addition, there are no records indicating that AOC‑44 was ever used for waste disposal.

During March 1996, two intact 20‑pound fragmentation bombs were found at the site.  These bombs were removed by UXO personnel for controlled detonation at an off‑site location.  In addition, the small amount (approximately 5 pounds) of metal debris (tin cans and wire) on the site surface have been removed and thrown away.

Since the site contained only scattered surface debris and no evidence of subsurface waste management activities and there are no historic records or aerial photos to raise this concern for AOC‑44, no compound‑specific data are warranted at the site.

AOC‑44 was not used for waste management and has no documented evidence that any contamination was ever present at the site.  Besides the surface debris, there was no olfactory evidence, soil discoloration, or any other waste management indicators found at the site.  Based on this information, it is recommended that the site be delisted as an AOC and CSSA be released from performing further work at the site.
