This report presents the results of the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) investigation conducted by The Earth Technology Corporation (TETC) at Hamilton Army Airfield, a U.S. Government property selected for closure by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) commission. Under CERFA, Federal agencies are required to identify real property that can be immediately reused and redeveloped. Satisfying this objective requires the identification of real property where no hazardous substances or petroleum products, regulated by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), were stored for one year or more, known to have been released, or disposed.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has compiled this document to explain the environmental condition of its Army Materials technology Laboratory in Watertown. The state of Massachusetts is investigating the sites of this facility for restoration.

Public Laws designated more than 100 Department of Army facilities for closure and realignment. As a result, it became necessary to expedite the environmental investigation and cleanup process, as necessary, prior to the release and reuse of Army Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) property. The BRAC environmental restoration program was established in 1989 with the first round (BRAC 88) of base closures and continued with subsequent rounds (BRAC 91, BRAC 93, etc.). As a result of the BRAC program, Fort Holabird Crime Records Center has been investigated to determine its environmental condition.

This report presents the results of the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) investigation conducted by Arthur D. Little, Inc. at Woodbridge Research Facility (WRF), a U.S. Government property selected for closure by the Base Realignment and closure (BRAC) Commission. The primary objective of this investigation as required under CERFA is for Federal agencies to expeditiously identify real property offering the greatest opportunity for immediate reuse and redevelopment. Satisfying this objective requires the identification of real property where no Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)-regulated hazardous substance or petroleum or their derivatives were stored for one year or more, known to have been released, or disposed of.

This report presents the results of the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) investigation conducted by Environmental Resources Management (ERM) at the former Nike site, Aberdeen Proving Ground, a U.S. Government property selected for closure by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission. Under CERFA, Federal agencies are required to identify expeditiously real property that can be immediately reused and redeveloped. Satisfying this objective requires the identification of real property where no hazardous substances or petroleum products, regulated by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), were stored for one year or more, known to have been released, or disposed.

In October 1992, the President Bush signed into law, the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA), Public Law 102-426. CERFA amended Section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), establishing new requirements with respect to contamination assessment, cleanup, and regulatory agency notification/ concurrence for closing federal facilities and transferring property. In March 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission submitted its recommendation to close the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne (MOTBY), located in Bayonne, New Jersey. Under CERFA, the Department of the Army is required to "expeditiously identify real property that offers the greatest opportunity for reuse and redevelopment" at closing facilities such as MOTBY. The first step in identifying such property is determining the location of real property where no CERCLA-regulated hazardous substances or petroleum or their derivatives were stored for one year or more, known to have been released, or disposed of. This letter report provides the preliminary findings for classifying parcels at MOTBY that may become eligible for transfer.
