SECTION 2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 DFSP San Pedro Facility and Sites Locations
The DFSP San Pedro (Facility) is located at 3171 North Gaffey Street in San Pedro, California and occupies approximately 331 acres. The Facility includes multiple contamination source areas and remediation areas, some of which are under the purview of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
There are also legacy sites at the Facility. These legacy sites are areas of potential or known contamination that preceded DLA operations. These legacy sites are being evaluated under the Department of Navy’s (DON) Installation Restoration Program (IRP). A figure showing legacy sites and DLA proposed units is included Appendix D. Based upon physical, hydrogeologic, and operational characteristics and differences, DLA has many remediation sites at the proposed Operational Units: Administration Area, South Control Area (formerly known as the Pump House Area), North Tank Farm Area and South Tank Farm Area.
2.1.1 Summary of Facility Operational History
In early 1942, following the outbreak of World War II, the Navy acquired 478 acres (193 ha) to support twenty 50,000-barrel (bbl) underground fuel storage tanks. Starting in 1943, the Site was used to receive, store, and distribute diesel and jet fuels for military use in California, Arizona, and Nevada. In 1954, seven more underground and three aboveground tanks were installed on the bluff top north of the largest canyon in the northwest portion of the Site. In 1980, the Defense Fuel Supply Center branch of the DLA assumed operations from the Navy, and DFSP San Pedro became a joint supply facility for all branches of the military. In 2014, the decision was made to cease fuel storage and handling operations at DFSP San Pedro; there were 27 BFCUSTs and approximately 22,000 feet of bulk, single-wall pipeline in operation at the time. The Navy has released, by deed, portions of the original 1942 land acquisition.
The Tank Farm Area at DFSP San Pedro occupies approximately 170 acres and extends along the western part of the DFSP San Pedro that includes former storage BFCUSTs. The Tank Farm Area is divided into the North Tank Farm, and the South Tank Farm. The North Tank Farm contains six recently decommissioned 50,000-bbl BFCUSTs (BFCUSTs 42 through 47) and the South Tank Farm contains twenty recently decommissioned 50,000-bbl BFCUSTs (BFCUSTs 1 through 20). Chicago Bridge & Iron Federal Services, Inc. (CB&I) conducted the work to permanently close all underground pipelines and BFCUSTs in 2017.
The operational closure of the pipelines and BFCUSTs was conducted under the regulatory oversight of the City of Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). Work performed to permanently close the BFCUSTs included removal of controls, monitoring equipment, electrical equipment, stairs, and platforms; cutting and removal of vent piping and installation of flanges on fill, suction, and drain pipelines; and filling of the tank with low-density cellular concrete (LDCC; See for example CB&I Report for BFCUST 10, CB&I, 2018). Since the Permanent Closure Report for each of the BFCUSTs are not available on public websites, copies will be provided by the Contracting Officer upon request.
2.2 Interim Remedial Actions
DLA’s goal is to remediate and obtain site closure to meet industrial/commercial standards for capitalized fuel releases (including each of the seven BFCUST Sites), in accordance with local and state regulatory agency requirements, and support management transfer to DON. Each of the Facility’s BFCUSTs will be treated as individual management units (Sites) within their respective proposed Operable Units. Therefore, BFCUST-specific assessment reports and Interim Remedial Action Plans (IRAPs) have been prepared to identify the nature and extent of soil and groundwater impacts.
At each BFCUST Site, DLA has proposed interim remedial actions, as needed.
The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) provides oversight of the assessment and environmental restoration of petroleum fuel releases at the Facility. DLA’s environmental services contractor for the ongoing remediation activities at the Facility is The Source Group, Inc., (SGI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex Companies, LLC (Apex).
IRAPs developed by SGI-APEX to implement in-situ remedial technologies are available on GeoTracker (https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile_report.asp?global_id=T0603701609).
The selected interim remedial approach for each of the BFCUST sites has been selected based on the nature and extent of petroleum hydrocarbons and the lithology of each site. ET-MPE was selected as an interim remedial method for sites with low permeable soils in the impacted zone, including BFCUSTs 1, 5, 7, 11, and 12. SETE was selected as an interim remedial method for sites with relatively permeable soils in the impacted zone, including BFCUSTs 4 and 15.
Additional IRAPs for other BFCUSTs within the Tank Farm Area have been developed and are being implemented through Task Orders issued under SP0600-14-D-5411 to SGI-APEX. IRAPs are available on GeoTracker, as well as other restoration documents for the Facility.
