| Objectives | The former McClellan Air Force Base (Base) is approximately eight miles northeast of downtown
Sacramento in North Highlands. As part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program,
the Base was officially closed on 13 July 2001. Clean-up of the former Base is currently supervised
by the Department of Defense (DOD) Installation and Restoration Program (IRP). The IRP is
designed to manage the overall DOD activities with respect to past waste disposal practices and site
remediation. This program has identified 318 sites on the former Base. The cleanup of IRP sites,
and reuse and transfer of the former base property, is being directed by the Air Force Real Property
Agency (hereafter Discharger). To date, seven Operable Units (OUs) have been identified for
evaluation under the McClellan Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA). Many contamination source
areas have been identified and found to have soil and ground water contamination due to buried and
burned wastes, spills, unregulated disposal practices, leaking underground storage tanks, and
industrial activities on the former Base. Contamination is found to extend from the surface to 150
to 200 feet in depth and includes many volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile compounds, and
heavy metals. |
