Chapter 3—Affected EnvironmentIn 1993, the North Dakota Department of Health added 48 newsuspected areas of concern to the Base IRP. All areas, including theseven existing IRP sites, were grouped together and reclassified as 20solid waste management units. All solid waste management units aresubject to RCRA Corrective Action and are regulated by the base's RCRAPart B Permit. The existing IRP sites are also regulated by CERCLAand/or the North Dakota Underground Storage Tank Program. (U.S.Department of the Air Force, 1997—Grand Forks AFB General Plan)The IRP sites near potential NMD deployment areas are the formerexplosive and ordnance detonation area OT-5 (which was closed underRCRA/CERCLA regulations and is at a low risk level) and the baseunderground storage tank ST-06, which was closed under The NorthDakota Underground Storage Tanks Program. Another site is Site ST-07,which is a benzene groundwater plume under the Petroleum, Oil, andLubricant Off Loading Area. The plume, which is just west of theMunitions Storage Area, is apparently moving in a westerly direction.Remedial action is in progress under RCRA/CERCLA regulations. SolidWaste Management Unit sites near potential NMD deployment areasinclude those associated with oil/water separators (Buildings 304, 314,and 701) and underground waste storage tanks (Buildings 200, 306,737, and 761) that contained waste oil, hydraulic oil, solvents,contaminated fuel, and diesel fuel. Grand Forks AFB is recommending nofurther action required at Buildings 200, 306, 314, and 737. (GrandForks AFB, 1995—Management Action Plan)Asbestos. The base maintains trained and certified asbestos abatementpersonnel, and requires that contractors provide certified personnel ifneeded. Up to 0.28 square meter (3 square feet) of asbestos-containingmaterial may be disturbed by non-certified contractors. (U.S. Departmentof the Air Force, 1999—Final EIS, Minuteman III Missile SystemDismantlement)At Grand Forks AFB, asbestos-containing material is generated duringremediation operations for building renovations or demolition. Theremoval of asbestos-containing material from facilities generates a wastethat is landfilled at the Grand Forks Municipal Landfill. Facilities on GrandForks AFB were surveyed in 1993-94 for asbestos-containing material.Facilities that are to be renovated or demolished are surveyed forasbestos-containing material prior to construction activities, andremediated when necessary. The Environmental Engineers Flight, CivilEngineer Operations, and Bioenvironmental Engineering Services managemost aspects of asbestos remediation. The base maintains an AsbestosManagement and Operation Plan that includes asbestos work orders,notification records, bulk and air sampling results, asbestos registry,training and certification records, and disposal documents. (U.S.Department of the Air Force, 1999—Final EIS, Minuteman III MissileSystem Dismantlement).NMD Deployment Final EIS 3-217
Chapter 3—Affected EnvironmentPolychlorinated BiphenylsPersonnel from the Environmental Engineers Flight, Missile Maintenance,and the Exterior Electric offices manage PCBs. Documents and files aremaintained at Grand Forks AFB, including PCB documentation for thepast 3 years. All known PCB-containing transformers, hydraulic systems,heat transfer components, and other PCB items have been removed fromGrand Forks AFB. (U.S. Department of the Air Force, 1999—Final EIS,Minuteman III Missile System Dismantlement)Lead-based PaintGrand Forks personnel manage lead-based paint identification andabatement in accordance with all Air Force guidance, and havedesignated the Environmental Engineers Flight, Base Housing Office, andMedical Group as being responsible for lead-based paint management.A visual inspection of pre-1980 buildings (those which are most likely tocontain lead-based paint) has been conducted at Grand Forks AFB. Theinspection included all housing and community buildings, but not industrialfacilities of shops. Because most of Grand Forks AFB was built before1980, there is the potential that most buildings may contain lead-basedpaint. Buildings that are to be demolished or remodeled are checked forlead-based paint. If lead-based paint is found, the paint is removed inaccordance with Federal Regulations. (U.S. Department of the Air Force,1999—Final EIS, Minuteman III Missile System Dismantlement)RadonA radon survey of base housing was completed in 1989 and was aimedat pinpointing potential sources of radon emissions. This study classifiedGrand Forks AFB housing as being a moderate risk facility requiringfurther sampling. Mitigation efforts occurred in 1991. Radon surveysand further mitigation efforts are continuing as part of an active program.Radon assessment surveys for evaluating radon emissions atadministrative areas on-base are programmed and will be conductedwhen funding becomes available. (U.S. Department of the Air Force,1997—Grand Forks AFB General Plan)PesticidesThe management of pesticides at Grand Forks AFB is accomplished bythe Pest Management staff, who maintain the grounds and buildings onthe base, and by the golf course staff, who maintain the golf course.The base pesticide facility is a state-of-the-art facility, and PestManagement personnel are certified as pesticide applicators. The basealso contracts for some pesticide applications. The Air Force has set agoal for the reduction of pesticides by the year 2000, which is beingaggressively pursued by the Pest Management Shop (U.S. Department of3-218 NMD Deployment Final EIS
