CERCLA Removal Action Plan |
Submit approval letter to USACE for the Source and incidental contaminant Removal Action Work plan for Attu Island. The plan identifies removal actions for AOI#1 "Navy Town: Beach Road Storage and Docking Area and AOI#4 "Navy Town: Aboveground Storage tank Disposal Area". At AOI#1 contamination associated with a former burn area will be excavated and removed from the island. At AOI#4 pooled tar and associated AST's will be consolidated and removed from the island. Any contaminated soil underlying the tar will also be excavated and removed from the island. The Removal Action at AOI#4 is intended to prevent additional bird entrapment in the pooled tar. |
