The FS, if required, shall 19 develop Remedial Action Objectives (RAOs) specific to the conditions that exist, or can reasonably exist in the 20 future throughout the site, and evaluate remedial alternatives against the nine criteria stated in the National 21 Contingency Plan (40CFR300.430(e)(9)). The proposed remedy shall be presented in the Proposed Plan and 22 selected in a Decision Document. 23 Work under this Performance Work Statement (PWS) falls within the Military Munitions Response Program 25 (MMRP) for the Impact Area (MRS 01), Fort Douglas, a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS), Project Number 26

J08UT110801. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with the references listed in Attachment 1. 27

2.0 BACKGROUND: 28

Camp Douglas was established as an Army post on October 26, 1862, and the name was changed on December 30, 29

1878, to Fort Douglas. Jurisdiction over 9,190 acres of land was ceded to the U.S. by the Governor of Utah in 1904. 30 The net area of the installation subject to the Findings and Determination is the 7,898.12 acres of Fort Douglas as 31 of 24 December 1941, which included 3,343.31 acres acquired in fee and 4,554.81 acres acquired by transfer. Fort 32 Douglas was established as an Army post and was declared a military installation by an Executive Order on 33

September 3, 1867. Government construction and improvements included 137 buildings, including training, 34 storage and administrative structures, family housing, and miscellaneous support facilities and utilities. In the later 35 1960s, the mission of the facilities was to support active Army and Armed Forces Reserve component training in 36 Utah, Idaho and Montana. Portions of the property were transferred to other entities beginning in 1874. The 37 majority of the area was disposed in the late 1940s and mid-1960s. Portions of Fort Douglas were conveyed to Salt 38 Lake City, the U.S. Department of the Interior, the State of Utah, the University of Utah, the Veterans 39 Administration, the U.S. Navy, the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 40 Currently, the property is owned by various entities, including those aforementioned, and many private 41 individuals. Two areas are still in active use by the Department of Defense and therefore not eligible for the 42 Formerly Used Defense Site program. These areas are a Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center (approximately 15 43 acres) and an area of the former Fort Douglas occupied by the U.S. Army Reserve 96th Regional Support Command 44 (approximately 51 acres). According to the Preliminary Assessment of Eligibility for the Fort Douglas Toxic Exercise 45

Area (J08UT1103), 3651.22 acres of the original Fort Douglas acreage were found to be eligible as separate FUDS 46 Property. Therefore, the net eligible area under this property is 4,246.9 acres. 47

The 1,459-acre Impact Area MRS is in Salt Lake County, Utah and encompasses the land rising from eastern Salt 1 Lake City onto the front slopes of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The MRS was used by the Army to 2 train infantry, cavalry, and artillery units between 1862 and the late 1960s. The MRS consists of the artillery 3 impact areas in the mountains. Munitions known or suspected to have been used on the MRS including small arms 4 munitions, grenades, rockets, riot control agents, bombs, illumination signals, and small and large caliber artillery 5 and mortar rounds. No MEC was observed during the Site Inspection (SI) field activities. However, MD including 6 the (inert) fuze assembly for a 3.5- inch diameter rocket, fragments of 37mm projectiles, expended .30 caliber ball 7 munitions, expended .50 caliber ball munitions, and two copper jackets from small arms were observed. MEC/MD 8 have historically been reported at the MRS. Based on the SI qualitative MEC risk evaluation, there is the potential 9 for an explosive safety risk at the MRS. 10

Several explosive ordnance disposal incident reports linked to Fort Douglas have been reported. These include 12 findings which involve 60mm practice mortars, a 12-in HE Stokes mortar, an 81mm mortar, a practice grenade, and 13 a cache of roughly 500 pre-World War II small arms rounds. Most of the area associated with the Impact Area MRS 14 is an uninhabited, national forest and mountainous land controlled primarily by the USDA Forest Service. A small 15 portion of the MRS runs along the eastern side of the University. Access to the MRS is unrestricted. 16
