Attachment 2 Northeast Region - Pease 5 December 2019

1.1 Scope

The former Pease AFB is located in the towns of Newington and Greenland and the city of Portsmouth in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. In December 1988, the former Pease AFB was selected to be closed by the Secretary of Defense’s Commission on Base Realignment and Closure. The former Pease AFB was closed as an active installation in March 1991. In accordance with Executive Order 12580— Superfund Implementation, the U.S. Air Force is designated the lead agency authority to conduct CERCLA cleanup activities at the former Pease AFB and is responsible for all costs associated with the cleanup of contamination associated with past U.S. Air Force activities. The former Pease AFB was proposed for addition to the National Priorities List in 1989 and was listed in 1990. On April 24, 1991, the U.S. Air Force, EPA, and NHDES signed the interagency former Pease AFB FFA under CERCLA Section 120 establishing the protocols for conducting the environmental study and cleanup of the former Pease AFB.

The FFA established eight IRP zones at the former Pease AFB. Zones 6 and 8 are located in the western portion of the former Pease AFB, within Parcels L and M, which is the area established by the DOI as the Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge and are not part of Air Force Five-Year Reviews.

• Zone 1 is located in the eastern part of the former Pease AFB and includes the following IRP sites: Bulk Fuel Storage Area (SS013), Paul’s Brook (Site 23), Flagstone Brook (Site 26), Landfill (LF) 5 (LF005), and Railway Ditch.

• Zone 2 is located in the northwestern sector of the former Pease AFB and includes the following IRP sites: Burn Area 2 (AB037), Burn Area 1 (AB022), Landfill 1 (LF001), Leaded Fuel Tank Sludge Area (DP010), and the Peverly Brook (Site 24).

• Zone 3 encompasses the area of the former Pease AFB where most of the industrial and aircraft maintenance shops were located. And includes the following IRP sites: Building 113 (TU032), Building 136 (ST081), Building 119 (SS036), Building 227 (ID039), Building 22 (SS049), Motor Pool (ST072), and Building 234 (ID073). The Haven water supply well is also located within Zone 3.

• Zone 4 is located on the southeastern margin of the former Pease AFB and includes the following IRP sites: Landfill 6 (LF006), Construction Rubble Debris-2 (DP017), and Lower Grafton Ditch (Site 20).

• Zone 5 is located at the northern end of the former Pease AFB and includes the following IRP sites: Fire Department Training Area 2 (AT008), Construction Rubble Debris-1 (DP009), Knights and Pickering Brooks.

• Zone 7 is located in the southwestern portion of the former Pease AFB and includes the following IRP site: Old Jet Engine Test Stands (SS045).

The following sites are not identified with a Zone: Flightline Refueling System (ST085), Pumphouse 2 (SS084), Plume 13/14 (SS082), Plume 41 (SS083), and Building 410 (SS016).

All property at former Pease AFB has been transferred. The next Five-Year Review is projected to be finalized in September 2019 under the current PBR contract.

In addition to the requirements presented in this PWS, this scope includes the following:

· Comprehensive annual inspection and inventory of all existing wells (including monitoring wells installed for PFAS Investigation or other activities) including an annual well inventory/maintenance report, review/update of locational/survey data, field verification of existing wells, and resolution of any discrepancies in existing/prior reporting. Includes replacement of any lock, keys, caps or other appurtenances and repair of any wells (including LF vents, etc.) that are deteriorated from wear and tear, weather, or damaged.

· For sites identified in the Pease Northeast Region BECOS TO 2 PWS Attachment 1, regulatory concurrence has not been attained for Post-closure Monitoring and Maintenance Plans (PCCMP) or Long-Term Monitoring Plans (LTMP) with regard to sampling locations, parameters, and frequencies. Baseline sampling in accordance with plans in place prior to 2015, should be conducted for each identified site. Recommended changes to PCCMPs and LTMPs will be provided for regulatory concurrence within one year from baseline sampling. The frequencies of monitoring identified in Attachment 1 reflect the Air Force minimum requirement for pursuing regulatory concurrence and the minimum level of monitoring to be conducted absent approved PCCMPs and LTMPs.

Contractors are not responsible for the following:

· Investigation and remediation of PFAS, except as noted herein and in Attachment 1.
