SECTION 01 00 00 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The following have been modified:

SCOPE OF WORK

1.0 SCOPE OF WORK

Work under this Scope of Work (SOW) falls within two programs. Part of this scope is within the Defense

Environmental Restoration Program (DERA). The other part of this SOW is within the Explosive Decontamination

Program. Explosive Decontamination work shall include removal and decontamination of potentially explosive sewers and underground infrastructure at the former Sunflower Army Ammunitions Plant (SFAAP) near DeSoto, Kansas. Environmental Remediation work includes investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination underneath explosive sewers after the explosive hazards have been removed and the soil certified as Material

Documented as Safe (MDAS). The Explosive Decontamination and Environmental Remediation work will be performed at nine sites [Areas of Concern (AOCs) or Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs) noted below]. The

Contractor shall perform all DERA environmental Installation Restoration Program (IRP) work in compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). All activities involving work in areas potentially containing explosive hazards shall be conducted in full compliance with Department of the Army (DA), Department of Defense

(DOD) regulations and Guidance to include interim Guidance and Data Item Descriptions (DID) at the referenced sites.

https://www.sam.gov/

The Contractor will also be responsible for preparing an Interim Corrective Measures Implementation Work Plan, amending the existing Explosive Safety Submittal (ESS) if required (as approved by Army), and preparing Interim

Corrective Measure Implementation Completion Reports (ICMI) for each area completed. The ICMI completion reports will summarize all environmental remediation work performed and include data tables and figures for each explosive sewer run, for each Temporary Burn Pad (TBP), and each FR1 Foundation, all data results screened against regulatory criteria, and volume and weight of materials disposed, and all MEC certification reports and statements.

The Army believes that documentation provided represents the most recent and appropriate documentation available for the Installation and sites identified in this SOW.

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant

SFAAP encompasses approximately 9,060 acres located near Desoto, Kansas in the northwest corner of Johnson

County. The facility is located approximately 20 miles southwest of Kansas City, Kansas and 16 miles east of

Lawrence, Kansas along Kansas Highway 10 (Attachment 1). The surrounding area consists of sparsely populated, rural communities with primarily agricultural land use. The installation began operations in 1942 to manufacture smokeless powder and propellants for small arms, cannons, and rockets. Additional facility operations included the manufacture and regeneration of nitric and sulfuric acids and ammunitions proving. Since 1971, the majority of the installation has been in a standby, inactive status, with the last production of nitroguanidine (NQ), occurring in 1992.

The property is currently owned by Sunflower Redevelopment Limited Liability Corporation (SRL).

Kansas City District is performing this work on behalf of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management

(ACSIM) with the Commander’s Representative for Former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant as the onsite customer. The work being performed on behalf of the customers is to complete the removal of remaining explosive sewers and production piping, thermal decontamination of said sewers and removal of any all contaminated soils surrounding the sewers. Also included is removal of explosive slabs/foundations (including Temporary Burn Pads), interior sewers/piping, and environmentally impacted soil around or under the explosive slabs/foundations [for each

SWMU or AOC specified in the scope]. The customer requires a Contractor that has the capabilities and experience history in explosive decontamination of an industrial facility and the RCRA Corrective Action requirements for environmental remediation associated with these explosive facilities. The Contractor should exhibit abilities to simultaneously manage the logistics of performing large scale corrective measures at Sites with facilities potentially contaminated with explosives, evaluate large amounts of confirmation data, and manage the disposal of all waste streams created during implementation of corrective measures.

Site descriptions, background information, and investigation history are presented below. The specific locations of the sites are described below.

SWMU-24 Nitroglycerine and Paste Mix Area

This site comprises 149 acres in the central portion of the installation. This area was used as an area to produce

Nitroglycerine (NG), mix pastes for double-base solventless propellant and multi-base solvent propellant. The NG area includes four NG Nitrator, Neutralization and Storehouse complexes with sumps, and drainage ditches that extend from the production buildings to Pyotts Pond (SWMU-12) and had three periods of operation: 1943-1946, 1951-1960 and 1965-1971. The F-Line and N-Line Paste Mix Area is located northeast of the NG Area and produced double-base solventless propellant paste for the 2.75 rocket grains. The G-Line Paste Mix area is located southwest of the NG Area and produced multi-base solvent propellant paste for cannon propellant grains. As a result of the 1998 EBS the boundary of this site was expanded from just the NG Production Area to include the F-Line, G-

Line and N-Line Paste Mix Areas. During the March 1998 RFI the downgradient ditch areas of SWMU-24 were investigated. The RFI was deemed incomplete by US EPA and KDHE. Sampling was not conducted in NG Nitrate areas due to the potential explosive hazards associated with NG in soils at concentrations that may exceed 10 percent. The data from the initial RFI identified eighteen metals, nitrates, sulfates, PAHs, SVOCs and NC above background concentrations at SWMU-24. Metals, PAHs and SVOCs were detected in all media (surface water, groundwater, sediment and surface soil), nitrates and sulfate were detected in surface water and groundwater, and

NC was detected in surface soil and sediment. Due to the potential presence of reactive levels of NG in the NG

Production Area of SWMU-24, an explosive safety assessment was conducted in 2004 to determine if there was an explosive hazard requiring an explosive safety submission before RFI or CMI work could be performed. A remotely operated Geoprobe® was used to take soil borings from zero to four feet in all of the NG sumps, the ditches downgradient of the sumps, and two recorded spill areas. The highest concentration detected was 485 milligrams

(mg)/kilogram (kg), which is well below the explosive level (less than 10 percent). Therefore remote investigation and cleanup is not required, i.e. the standard investigation and cleanup methods are safe from explosive hazards. An

RFI work plan was prepared in December 2008, which was approved by KDHE. The fieldwork was started, but was stopped due to insufficient funds. Attachment 11 is provided as information to utilize for SMWU 24 site-specific workplan.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, manganese, explosives (NC, NG, and NQ), SVOCs, VOCs, TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, nitrate/nitrite, ammonia, sulfate, pesticides, pH

SWMU-31 Contaminated Waste Processor/ Evaporative Lagoon

This site comprises seven acres in the west central portion of the installation. This area was used to decontaminate material containing explosive residues. The Contaminated Waste Processor (CWP) operated between 1982 and

1996. The CWP is an incinerator measuring 14.5 feet by 25 feet. The CWP was designed to incinerate materials contaminated or suspected of being contaminated with explosives, and to decontaminate (flash) explosive-contaminated metal prior to salvage. Because the CWP could only handle materials with residual amounts of explosives, the waste materials to be incinerated were checked to insure they did not contain pockets of explosives.

Lab analysis was conducted after the burn to verify the ash debris could be disposed in the onsite landfill. If the ash debris exceeded any Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLPs) it was disposed off-site as hazardous waste. The April 1999 RFI results indicated the presence of phthalates in the soil samples. No contamination was found in the groundwater. Kansas Surface Water Quality Standards (KDHE) and US Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) identified several significant data gaps in the 1999 RFI that had to be addressed. Because of insufficient data, KDHE and USEPA requested that the Army conduct a more extensive investigation to fully characterize the extent of contamination by selectively sampling for RCRA metals, manganese, explosives

(including NC, NG, NQ, and GN), SVOCs TPH-DRO, PCBs, and dioxins, in soil, surface water, sediment, and groundwater. An RFI work plan was prepared in March 2009, and was approved by KDHE. Fieldwork was started but put on hold due to insufficient funds. Finishing the RFI entails installing groundwater monitoring wells and taking groundwater samples. An RFI report with CMS will be prepared. ICM for contaminated soil underneath explosive foundations is covered in the AOC 23/AOC 24 ICM for SWMU-31.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, SVOCs, Dioxins

SWMU-43 Tunnel Dryers (CCC Storage)

This site comprises eight acres in the west central and south east portion of the installation. This area was used to temporarily store Calcium Carbonate Cake (CCC). There were six former tunnel dryers used for CCC storage. Four of the dryers are located in the west central portion of Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant (SFAAP). The two remaining dryers were located in the south east portion of SFAAP and were listed under AOC 23 for SWMU-36 rather than SWMU-43. The dryers began operation in 1986. Each dryer measures 125 feet by 18 feet, with six foot high walls, and each has a leachate collection system. CCC was a byproduct of the Guanidine Nitrate (GN) step of the Nitroguanidine (NQ) production process. The CCC was loaded into dump trucks via conveyor in the NQ area and transported to the tunnel dryers. The CCC was dumped into the dryer and distributed using a front end loader.

The product was ultimately off loaded from the tunnel dryers by vendors for use by local farmers. The tunnel dryers were not enclosed. During a site visit in 1990, it was observed that CCC had been tracked beyond the walls of the tunnel dryers by the trucks loading and unloading at the site. The data from the May 2000 RFI were determined by the regulators to be unreliable (Intertek Testing Services Data). An RFI work plan was prepared in June 2010 and comments have been received from KDHE. ICM for contaminated soil underneath explosive foundations is covered under sites AOC 23 / AOC 24.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, manganese, SVOC-Phthalates, nitrate, sulfate, ammonia, pesticides, explosives

(NC, NG, NQ, GN)

SWMU-46 Decontamination Oven

Decontamination Oven is comprised of two acres in the north east portion of the installation. This area was used to decontaminate oversized equipment/materials contaminated with trace explosives. The oven was constructed in

1970 and was used until 2001. There were no secondary containment features at this site. Only trace explosives were treated in this area. It may have been possible for volatile organic contaminants to be released via the exhaust fan during heating. Lead may have been released from the equipment and vehicles decontaminated at this site. The data from the April 2000 RFI were determined by the Regulators to be unreliable (Intertek Testing Services Data).

A RFI Workplan was prepared in February 2008, and was approved by KDHE. Field work is complete. Dioxin and

Lead were found in surface soil above industrial levels. A RFI Report was prepared in January 2011, which is awaiting approval from KDHE.

Probable CoC’s: Lead, dioxins

SWMU-65 Tank Farm

This site comprises 22 acres in the north central portion of the installation. This area was used for storing and recycling ether and alcohol. The Tank Farm consists of three contiguous areas: South Tank Farm (which includes the 600-2, 600-3, and 600-4 Tanks, and Still Houses 3502 and 4502); the North Tank Farm (which includes the 600-

1 Tanks) and the Loading Stations; and the area containing the Compressor buildings and tanks (Building 1991). The

Tank Farm received and processed recycled solvents which included alcohol and ether. Numerous releases have been documented from within the Tank Farm. Although the tanks were removed, the foundations and saddles remain. This site has not been used for solvent storage and recycling since 1960. The 600-1 Tanks were used for storing diesel fuel starting in the mid-1970s. The east 600-3 Tank was used for storing gasoline starting in the mid-

1970s. This site is located in Parcel 8-2(7)HR(P) shown in the 1998 site-wide EBS. In the March 2003 Relative

Risk Site Evaluation (RRSE), arsenic and benzo(a)pyrene results in the soil, and arsenic and lead results in groundwater exceeded the USEPA Region IX Preliminary Remediation Goal (PRGs).

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, manganese, 2-4-DNT, NC, SVOCs, VOCs, TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO

SWMU-67 South Acid Area This site comprises 26 acres in the east central portion of the installation. This area was used for production and recycling of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The South Acid Area was operated from 1943 to 1998. This area contains numerous buildings and tanks (Building 700 and 900 series). The conditions of these buildings range from being intact to total disrepair requiring demolition. Drainage ditches in the area were used for managing spills and wastewater discharges. Areas of discolored soil were noted during inspections in 2001. This area also includes SAAP-107

(Building 719-2; Former Truck Maintenance Shop), SAAP-108 (Former Fuel Oil Storage Tank), and SAAP-109

(Building 554-6; Oil and Paint House). This site is shown as an area needing investigation in the 1998 site-wide

EBS. In the March 2003 RRSE benzo(a)pyrene, lead and arsenic in surface soils exceeded the USEPA Region IX

PRGs. Rind soils investigations and data summary report were finalized in April 2017. Explosive removals conducted during summer/fall of 2017 are documented in the combined Interim Corrective Measures Completion

Report for SWMU-13 and SWMU-67. Additional RFI investigative work beyond the rind soils apron is currently underway.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, hexavalent chromium, manganese, nickel, vanadium, VOCs, SVOCs, sulfate, ammonia, NG, TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, pH.

AOC 12 Paste Air Dry Facilities

This site comprises 36 acres in the central portion of the installation. AOC 12 consists of 16 buildings that were part of the F- Line and N-Line operations. All of the buildings have been intentionally burned down with only foundations remaining. It is in Parcel 5-13(7)HR(P) shown in the 1998 site-wide EBS. In the March 2003 Relative

Risk Site Evaluation (RRSE) arsenic and lead exceeded the USEPA Region IX PRGs. An RFI work plan was prepared in March 2011, and was approved by KDHE in February 2015. ICM for contaminated soil underneath explosive foundations and sewers is covered under AOC 23 / AOC 24.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, antimony, copper, manganese, SVOCs, nitrate, ammonia, explosives (NC, NG, GN)

AOC 16 NC Production Lines

This site comprises 107 acres in the north central portion of the installation. This area was used to produce

Nitrocellulose (NC). Each of the four production lines is approximately 22 acres in size and contains 10 or more buildings. The majority of the buildings have been intentionally burned down and all that remains are the explosive concrete foundations and underground explosive sewers. The NC Production Lines produced NC during the periods of 1943-1946, 1951-1960, and 1965-1971. Cotton fibers and wood pulp were nitrated using a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Nitric acid and sulfuric acid was produced and recycled in the North and South Acid Areas. NC and other hazardous constituents were released to the soil and potentially the groundwater in the proximity of the production facilities. This site is in Segment 8 shown in the 1998 site-wide EBS. In the March 2003 Relative Risk

Site Evaluation (RRSE) arsenic and lead were above their respective Target Media Cleanup Level (TMCLs), and

SVOCs were detected in the soil above the USEPA Region IX PRGs. An RFI work plan prepared in November

2008, and was approved by KDHE. Fieldwork was started, but was stopped due to insufficient funds. TABLE 2 defines the Temporary Burn Pad (TBP) and Wet NC accounts requiring removal in AOC 16. “Wet NC” refers to the stage in the production process in which the nitrocellulose was more fluid. At the “Wet NC” Accounts it has been discovered to have “flowed” thru foundation/wall spaces to underlying soils and void spaces. The “Wet NC” accounts listed on Table 2 that are not TBP Accounts have had their slab/foundation concrete already removed by previous contract. This status is noted/highlighted in Attachment 4 for both the FR1 and Environmental Soils information files.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, SVOCs, Nitrates, and explosives (NC), pH

AOC 17 NQ Production Facilities

This site comprises 139 acres in the north-west portion of the installation. This area was used for producing NQ.

AOC 17 includes all buildings which have been identified as being potentially contaminated with explosives located in the NQ Production Area. NQ is a major constituent of multi-base propellants. The NQ production process starts with the conversion of calcium carbide to calcium cyanamide. Purchased calcium carbide is ground and mixed in a ball mill with calcium fluoride. This material is aspirated into a rotary kiln where, under a blanket of nitrogen gas, the conversion to calcium cyanamide takes place. The calcium cyanamide is converted into GN by the reaction of calcium cyanamide with ammonium nitrate, nitric acid, and anhydrous ammonia. GN is converted to NQ by reaction of GN with oleum and nitric acid. Crystallization of NQ followed by drying and packaging complete the process.

This site is in Parcel 9-5(6)HR shown in the 1998 site-wide Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS). Based on a review of the documents, visual inspections and interviews, there is evidence that NQ and GN contamination was observed leaching out of walls and floors during the 1998 EBS visual inspection. In the March 2003 Relative Risk

Site Evaluation (RRSE) the site was sampled for NQ and nitrates/nitrites with no detections above USEPA Region

IX PRG values. The RRSE report recommended No Further Action (NFA) at this site; however, KDHE wrote a letter requesting the Army conduct additional soil sampling. An RFI work plan was prepared in May 2010, comments have been received from KDHE. Attachment 12 identifies initial biased sampling locations.

Probable CoC’s: RCRA Metals, hexavalent chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, SVOCs, VOCs, nitrate, sulfate, ammonia, cyanide, fluoride, explosives (NQ, GN), ethylene glycol, PCBs, TPH-DRO, pH

A crosswalk table that describes the production piping lines in each of the areas is provided in Table 1.
