Installation Restoration at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Decontamination Assessment for Land and Facilities at RMA
Abstract
This report provides an assessment of technical approaches and costs associated with decontamination of all or portion of Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) lands and facilities near Denver, Colorado. The report discusses environmental laws affecting decontamination activities and volumes, types and areas of contamination by hazardous or potentially hazardous materials. Approximately ninety sites are discussed which are believed to contain about 16 million cubic yards of contaminated or potentially contaminated material. The report evaluates technical approaches for attaining decontamination and present cost estimates for four cleanup scenarios. Since RMA is currently involved in a number of on-going military missions, the Department of the Army has no present program to decontaminate RMA for alternative land uses. Therefore, the report is prepared for army planning purposes only and is not intended to indicate any decisions regarding disposition of RMA property. Additional investigation would be required to finalize these cost estimates if the Dept. of Defense decides on.
