1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic Division has contracted with Tetra Tech EC, Inc. (TtEC) to perform a limited surface clearance for munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) on Nomans Land Island (site or island), Chilmark, Massachusetts (see Figure 1-1). This project will be conducted under Remedial Action Contract (RAC) VI No. N62470-13-D-8007 Contract Task Order (CTO) No. WE05.

1.1 Purpose and Objectives

This Limited MEC Surface Clearance Work Plan (WP) provides procedures to systematically locate, inspect, remove and destroy all MEC, material potentially presenting an explosive hazard (MPPEH), and other munitions related debris identified as on the surface of, or protruding from, the surface of Nomans Land Island, as applicable. The objective of this action is to reduce the risk of exposure to MEC to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) personnel, authorized visitors, and potential trespassers accessing the island.

1.2 MPPEH and MEC

MPPEH (material that, prior to determination of its explosives safety status, potentially contains explosives or munitions [e.g., munitions containers and packaging material; munitions debris remaining after munitions use, demilitarization, or disposal; and range-related debris]; or potentially contains a high enough concentration of explosives such that the material presents an explosive hazard [e.g., equipment, drainage systems, holding tanks, piping, or ventilation ducts that were associated with munitions production, demilitarization or disposal operations) requires a dual inspection process performed IAW DODI 4140.62. The process certifies and verifies MPPEH as either material documented as safe (MDAS) or if the item cannot be certified and verified as MDAS, it will remain MPPEH and stored/treated with the MEC. Once material is determined to be MDAS, it need not be managed as explosive and is, from an explosives safety perspective, acceptable for transfer or release from Department of Defense (DOD) control without specific explosives safety management requirements. Excluded from MPPEH are MEC items (derived from military munitions) in one of two categories, unexploded ordnance (UXO) or discarded military munitions (DMM).

1.3 Regulatory Statute, Phase and Oversight

Response actions at Nomans Land Island are conducted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and in compliance with the substantive requirements of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP). The current action is being conducted as a maintenance action to address MEC or MPPEH that may have surfaced since the previous removal actions conducted in 1998, 2003, and 2008, respectively. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) listed Nomans Land Island as a site in a Notice of Responsibility on September 26, 1997, because of the potential release of hazardous materials due to the historical use of the island as an air-to-surface target range by the DOD. A 1998 surface clearance was conducted pursuant to the MCP in 310 CMR 40.0440, Release Abatement Measure (RAM), and the RAM Plan approved by MassDEP on May 20, 1998.

The Explosives Safety Remediation Plan (ESRP) for Nomans Land Island (Radian International LLC 1997) that was approved by the DOD Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) for the 1998 clearance effort required:

• Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) response if USFWS personnel encountered surface munitions while visiting the island;

• Signage posted around the island warning potential trespassers of the potential dangers;

• Development of educational UXO brochures to be handed out to island visitors; and

• Recurring sweeps of the island approximately every 5 years.

This project is a recurring island sweep in compliance with the ESRP.

2.0 SITE CONDITIONS AND BACKGROUND

With the exception of the easternmost portion of the island, the remaining area on Nomans Land Island is considered to be a munitions response site, because munitions could potentially be present anywhere on the island. Description and background of Nomans Land Island, as well as previous investigations and the MEC/MPPEH risk, are described in this section.

2.1 Site Description

Nomans Land Island is situated off the east coast of the United States, approximately 2.7 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard Island in Massachusetts. The 628-acre island is surrounded on three sides by wave-cut bluffs and narrow beaches, and a gently-sloping sand and pebble beach on the north. East to west, the island is 1.6 miles long, and slightly more than 1.0 mile wide, north to south. The island is heavily vegetated and dominated by rolling hills. Nomans Land Island was transferred from the U.S. Navy (Navy) to the USFWS in July 1998 and was designated an unmanned wildlife refuge. Figure 1-1 provides a site location map of Nomans Land Island that shows its location relative to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Martha’s Vineyard Island.

2.2 History of Munitions Use on Nomans Land Island

The U.S. Government used the island as a target range to train pilots between 1943 and 1996.

Prior to 1943, the island was utilized for various purposes, including fishing and game hunting, and at one time a small population of people occupied a small portion of the island. No civilians have lived on the island since 1943. The military has designated the island as Restricted Area R- 4105. Because the island was used as an active military target range, civilians were not permitted to visit the island without a military escort. The Navy began leasing the island in November 1943 for use as a practice bombing site. At the conclusion of World War II, the island contained large numbers of MEC and craters. The Navy retained control of the island and continued training exercises substituting inert dummy munitions for the live munitions used during the war. The

Navy purchased the island in 1952. The island’s use as a bombing and gunnery range continued until May 31, 1996.

2.3 Known or Suspect MEC and MPPEH

Upon completion of a controlled burn to remove the dense vegetation that covered nearly the entire island, a surface clearance was completed by TtEC (formerly Foster Wheeler Environmental) in 1998. The munitions items recovered during that effort included bombs (Old Style 250 lb, Mk 81, 82, and 83), rockets (2.25-inch, 2.75-inch, and 5-inch Zuni), practice bombs, and fuzes. Follow-on surface clearances were also conducted in 2003 and 2008, respectively, with the same general munitions types encountered.

3.3.4 Project Completion Report

Upon completion of work activities, TtEC will prepare a Project Completion Report which will include the following:

• Work performed (chronology);

• Summary of MEC/MPPEH encountered;

• Deviations from work plan; and

• Waste documentation.

3.4 Training

All UXO personnel will meet the training requirements established in DDESB TP 18 and will have successfully completed a 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations (HAZWOPER) training, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120, and within the previous 12 months, must have completed an 8-hour HAZWOPER refresher training, as applicable.

3.4.1 UXO Procedural Training

UXO Personnel will have on-site training covering the munitions sweep and recovery procedures (see Section 4.9) that will be used on the island, as well as the explosives, equipment and procedures that will be used to detonate or perforate suspect munitions.

3.4.2 Site-Specific Orientation

All personnel assigned to the project will attend a site-specific orientation. The purpose of this training will be to review site-specific, communications and emergency response procedures.

Course attendance sheets will be used to document completion of each training session. Daily tailgate site briefings covering specific health and safety issues, UXO safety precautions, sweep and recovery procedures used for that day’s operations, and emergency procedures will also be held. A copy of the updated Tetra Tech Project Rules Handbook will be provided to the staff.

Staff will be required to read the entire handbook and document their training and acceptance.

This handbook is included in Appendix A.

4.0 PROJECT EXECUTION

This section describes the specific activities and procedures involved in preparation for, and field implementation of, the planned limited MEC surface clearance activities on Nomans Land Island. The planned activities include pre-inspection preparation, subcontracting and procurement, notifications, a kick-off meeting, mobilization, a surface sweep of the accessible road system and shoreline, the detonation of all suspect MEC and MDEH materials and the removal of all collected debris. Pre-construction preparation and subcontracting and procurement will not be discussed.

4.1 Kickoff Meeting

A kickoff meeting will be held between the Navy and TtEC at least one week prior to the start of the field activities on Nomans Land Island. The following personnel will be requested to attend:

Table 4-1. Kickoff Meeting Participants

NAVFAC TtEC RPM – Brian Helland Program Manager – Carl Tippmann PM – Brian Corbett SUXOS – David Crossley UXOSO/QCS – Buster Stancil

The purpose of this meeting will be to develop a mutual understanding of the limited MEC surface clearance activities, the CQC details including forms to be used, administration of on-site work, and coordination of the surface sweep and exclusion zone (EZ) implementation.

4.2 Mobilization

A list of field personnel with health and safety certifications and site vehicle information (proof of current vehicle registration and insurance) will be collected during mobilization and retained in project files. Upon receipt of appropriate records and authorizations, field personnel and equipment will be mobilized to the island. Equipment mobilization will be accomplished with either a flat bottom boat equipped with a bow ramp (roll-on/roll-off vessel) enabling the safe transfer of personnel and equipment on and off the island or with a barge/boat combination.

Daily personnel transport will be either via this same roll-on/roll-off vessel or via a standard crew boat. If a standard crew boat is utilized, a temporary pier/float will be constructed on the island to provide a means of access. Personnel will embark daily at the pier to transit to the island at 0600 and will depart the island to arrive back at the pier by 1800 each work day. During transit all briefings, debriefings, equipment set up, testing and cleanup will be accomplished in order to expedite the work processes once arriving at the island. End of day reports will be made during the transit to the pier in the evening and sent to the PM as soon as internet connection can be made. If communication allows internet access on the site, these activities may occur during the work day.

4.3 Safety Considerations

Safety is the primary concern during the performance of all activities for the project.

Personnel engaged in these efforts will adhere to the provisions of the APP. Additional safety guidance pertaining to MEC/MPPEH can be found in TtEC procedure UXO-4 (General UXO Safety Precautions), contained in Appendix B, and DOD 4145.26-M, Contractor’s Safety Manual for Ammunition and Explosives (DOD 2008). The UXOSO will brief all site personnel on the Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) attached to the APP and the other aforementioned safety documentation at the initial safety/indoctrination briefing and selected safety topics during morning safety tailgate briefings.

4.4 Status and Monitoring

Status of project activities will occur daily with daily QC and progress reports (see Section 3.3) provided to the PM. Monitoring of the field schedule will be based on the tracking of the daily production rate by the SUXOS. It is estimated that the daily surface clearance production rate will be the following:

• Roads: 161 grids (17 acres) 5 acres/day for a total of 4 days.

• Shoreline: 201 grids (58 acres) 5 acres/day or 16 grids/day for a total of 12 days.

It should be noted that only those areas subject to the clearance (i.e. shoreline, road) within these grids will be cleared and not the entire grid. Additional effort will be necessary to address the known 500LB practice bombs that remain in the intertidal zone surrounding the island. These items have been rendered safe in past efforts and have been left in place due to the difficulty of removing them from hard to access areas and within the tidal zone.

4.5 Communications

Hand-held radios and cellular phones will be the primary source of communications between the TtEC sweep team and safety and management personnel. Emergency telephone numbers and the telephone numbers for critical personnel associated with this project will be included in the APP.

A revised list of contact names and telephone numbers will be prepared and distributed to the Navy immediately following site mobilization. Given the recent construction of cellular towers on Martha’s Vineyard, reliable internet connectivity may be possible on the island. An attempt will be made to access the internet for communication and documentation purposes utilizing green (i.e. solar/wind) or small portable generator power. The power supply will also enable communication equipment such as VHF radios and cell phones to be charged throughout the work day.

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is produced by hand-held radios and cellular telephones and may cause a detonation hazard with electrically fuzed munitions. EMR precautions will be taken during the inspection activities where MEC with electrical fuzing is encountered. No radios or cellular telephones will be used inside the EZ without prior notification and permission from the SUXOS, except in emergency situations.

4.6 Site Preparation

Upon completion of site mobilization, TtEC will establish the base of operations (base camp) at the location previously utilized during past events. This location is shown on Figure 4-1. Base camp will consist of three 20-foot connex boxes. Outside canopies may also be erected to provide shelter from the sun and in the event of a lightning storm. This area will act as the base of operations for all site activities including field office, meetings, communications, etc.

4.7 Vegetation Clearance

Prior to sweep operations on the accessible road system, vegetation clearance will be necessary.

It is expected that a skid-steer (Bobcat or similar) will be mobilized with a mower deck attachment. The UXO team will sweep the area in front of the machine to ensure no MEC/MPPEH is within its path.

4.8 Sweep Area Marking and Documentation

The accessible road system and shoreline area to be cleared will be subdivided into grids along the road and along the shoreline. The grids will be staked/flagged as a visual reference. The shoreline grids will also include a visual survey for MEC/MPPEH of the exposed bluffs for any protruding items as the team is progressing. These items will be evaluated and removed from the cliff if determined safe to do so.

The areas to be cleared are also located within the grid system historically employed on the island which may aid in providing a means of documenting the locations of items found, if necessary. The island had been divided into 200 x 200 feet (60 x 60 meter) grids with sides running along the north-south and east-west axis. The corners of each grid can be accurately located using the field GIS/GPS (sub-meter accuracy). The grids are shown on Figure 4-1, for reference only, to use for planning and for monitoring the progress of the clearance as related to past events. Grids are named using an alphabetic designation for north-south rows, and numeric designation for east-west rows. As the clearance progresses along the roads and shoreline, utilizing the grid approach the historical grid will also be shown on the Field GIS/GPS System.

This approach will enable the field team to have the ability to record/document the munitions items encountered by both its new Grid Identification (ID) and historical Grid ID (as applicable).

Notes:

1. Metric grid is based on field sketch compiled by Foster Wheeler UXO team and UTM coordinates compiled by GPS methods in June and July, 1998. See CAD file NOMANS09.DWG, entitled "Sampling Locations Plan," Figure 3-1 dated December

1999.

2. Blank grids represent inaccessible areas (i.e.

waterbody, dense brush, etc.).

3. Grid colors are shown at 65% transparency for ease of viewing.

Accessible Shoreline: 117 Grids; 49.63 acres Accessible Roadway: 121 Grids; 13.7 acres

Documentation of MEC/MPPEH encountered will also utilize the Field GIS/GPS System. A drop-down menu will be loaded with standard attribute information, such as MEC, MPPEH, grid ID, date, type, condition, on-surface, buried, orientation, disposition, etc. This standardization will aid in keeping track of the munitions related items encountered throughout the field effort, as well as into final disposition. These field data will be downloaded to the field laptop daily and will be backed up in the TtEC Boston office network.

4.9 Clearance Progression

The surface clearance of Nomans Land Island is planned to begin on the road system and then progress to the shoreline as indicated below:

1. accessible road system:

- begin on the Central Roadway (C) and progress north to south;

- continue along the Eastern Roadway (E) and progress east and then north; and

- continue along the Western Roadway (W) and progress west and then south until all roads have been covered.

2. accessible shoreline:

- begin at the northern shore and continuously progress counterclockwise around the shore of the island (the shoreline/bluff from high tide line to top of bluff).

MEC surface clearance activities will not be performed in upland areas, ponds, or other inaccessible areas. Figure 4-1 depicts the grids (accessible roads and shoreline areas ) to be included in the limited MEC surface clearance.

4.10 Search Preparation

The SUXOS will ensure that an instrument-aided visual surface sweep of all staging areas, support zones, work areas, and access roads are conducted prior to using these areas. For coastal areas, sweep teams will conduct clearances from the high-water mark inland, and will search for surface items only. The shoreline sweep will involve walking the shoreline with hand held detectors while also visually scanning the bluff area. An item will be considered to be a surface item if any portion of the item is above the ground surface. All ferrous munitions related items with a maximum dimension greater than 2.0 inches and all nonferrous ordnance components detected visually will be removed.

4.11 Sweep Team Procedures

The Schonstedt Model 52CX ordnance locator (or equivalent) will be used to assist in locating surface objects in areas overgrown with vegetation, such as prior to vegetation clearance of the roadway. No intrusive efforts will be made to remove suspect items entirely below the ground surface.

The SUXOS will assign the sweep team grids (along the accessible roads and shoreline) to search. A map showing all grids with their identification numbers will be used for plotting and recording the status of clearance activities. Team leaders will record all items found in the assigned grids using grid sheets, an example of which can be found in Appendix C.

UXO Technicians will search each grid using standard detector-aided visual surface clearance procedures. All surface MEC/MPPEH will be identified and removed. Because partially buried MEC/MPPEH items will be also be identified and removed, limited manual digging may be required. No effort will be made to remove suspect munitions items that are buried entirely below the ground surface.

The sweep teams will use the line abreast method, removing and recording all metallic objects located. This method involves team members walking side by side, separated by a distance that does not exceed visual…
