Problems/Comments

A single sample was taken from an area of stained soil on the south side of the road, up the road (and upgradient) from OT08, but downhill from SD01/SS10. The sample contained polychlorinated biphenyls at 3500 mg/kg. The Air Force will be submitting a request to open this as a new Installation Restoration Program site or Area of Concern. DEC requested the site be characterized and cleaned up in conjunction with the remedial efforts at OT08.

3/6/2018 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC met with US Air Force (USAF) staff to review and discuss cleanup progress at all the Indian Mountain sites. The only ongoing work is the long-term monitoring (LTM) work at eight sites (SD001, LF004, LF005, LF006, SS011, SS002, SS009, SS010). Tentatively, there is additional work at OT008, Upper Camp PCB Spill and MMRP sites planned for 2019, pending funding from the USAF. The other sites; LUST, 2004 Spill Arctec, Fuel Offload Area (PL510) and the Incinerator Fuel Line were reviewed and discussed for a cleanup path forward. Erica Blake
8/31/2018 Site Visit DEC conducted a brief 4-hour site visit at the Indian Mountain Long Range Radar Station sites. DEC observed sites at both the Upper and Lower Camp areas. A lot of the Lower Camp sites extend into thick brush and wooded areas, and because time on the ground was limited, not all of those areas were inspected closely. At the Upper Camp, some of the sites are on the sides of very steep slopes, and were not visited. Warning signs were recently installed, and were visible at all the areas of concern. Erica Blake
6/25/2019 Site Visit DEC conducted a brief site visit at the Indian Mountain Long Range Radar Station sites as part of scoping for contractor bids. DEC observed sites at both the Upper and Lower Camp areas. The OT008 WACS, Pump House, and Stained Soil sites were visited/viewed and land use control signage was in place. Kevin Fraley
