16. Abstract (Limit 200 words)
The 7,400-acre Naval Air Engineering Center (NAEC) site is located in Jackson and
Manchester Townships, Ocean County, New Jersey, approximately 14 miles inland from the
Atlantic Ocean. Surrounding land use is primarily undeveloped woodlands and open areas,
with the closest residential area, the Borough of Lakehurst, located southeast of the
facility. The NAEC, which lies within the Toms River Drainage Basin, contains over
1,300 acres of flood-prone areas. In the vicinity of NAEC, drinking water is generally
supplied to the populace by municipal supply wells. Some private wells exist, but these
are used primarily for irrigation purposes. The U.S. Navy assumed control of the
property in 1919, and it was formally commissioned Naval Air Station (NAS) Lakehurst in
1921. The NAEC was moved from the Naval Base, Philadelphia to NAS Lakehurst in 1974.
The NAEC's mission is to conduct research, development, engineering, testing and system
integration, limited production, and procurement for aircraft and airborne weapons
systems. Historically, various operations at NAEC have required the use, handling,
storage, and occasional onsite disposal of hazardous substances. During the operational
period of the facility, there have been reported and suspected releases of these

substances into the environment. The U.S. Air Force's Installation Restoration Program
(IRP) has identified 44 potentially contaminated sites at NAEC, 16 of which have
warranted further investigation to assess potential impacts. IRP investigations revealed
three of these sites, Sites 5, 19, and 21, as having evidence of petroleum hydrocarbon
contamination. From 1958 to 1980, Site 5, the Arresting Engine RSTS Track
No. 2/Building 371, was used for the surface storage of small amounts of liquid waste,
such as cleaning solvents, hydraulic fluid, and propylene glycol. Leakage from stored
materials at Site 5 has resulted in visible soil discoloration. Site 19, the SATS
Catapult (7401 Test Site), was abandoned in the 1960's and 1970's, after which it became
a minor storage area for 55-gallon drums of waste material, such as clutch and
lubricating oils and jet fuel. In the early 1980's, twenty-two 55-gallon drums that had
potentially contaminated the soil were removed from the site for offsite disposal. From
1958 to 1981, solvents and jet fuel were stored at Site 21, the Jet-Car Maintenance Shop.
In 1983, stained soil areas prompted NAEC to set up a hazardous waste drum accumulation
area with secondary containment at the site. As part of a 1991 removal action action at
each of these three sites, NAEC excavated and removed offsite for disposal, a total of
76 cubic yards of soil with petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations greater than
1,000 mg/kg. This ROD addresses any potential remaining petroleum hydrocarbon
contamination at Sites 5, 19, and 21, as OU 5. Future RODS will address other OUs at
NAEC. EPA has determined that the previously implemented removal actions have
eliminated the need to conduct additional clean-up activities at these sites; therefore,
there are no contaminants of concern affecting this site.
The selected remedial action for this site is no further action because previously
implemented removal actions have eliminated the need to conduct additional remedial
action at sites 5, 19, and 21. There are no costs associated with this no action remedy.

STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE
This decision document presents the selected remedial action for three
individual sites (Sites 5, 19 and 21), located at the Naval Air Engineering Center
(NAEC) in Lakehurst, New Jersey (Figure 1). The selected remedial action was chosen
in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthoriza-
tion Act (SARA), and, to the extent practicable, the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. This decision is based on the administrative
record for these sites, which is available for public review at the Ocean County Library,
101 Washington Street, Toms River, New Jersey.
Both the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA),
Region n Administrator, and the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection and Energy (NJDEPE) concur with the selected remedy.
DESCRIPTION OF THP. gF.T FCTED REMEDY
The United States Department of the Navy, the lead agency for this Site,
has selected no action as the remedy for Sites 5, 19 and 21.

-------
DECLARATION STATEMENT
The U.S. Department of the Navy has determined that no additional
remedial action is necessary at Sites 5,19 and 21 to ensure protection of human health
and the environment. The removal actions implemented previously at these sites, in
which soil contaminated with unacceptable levels of petroleum hydrocarbons was
removed, have eliminated the need to conduct additional remedial action.
This Record of Decision concerns Sites 5, 19 and 21 only. The locations
of these three Sites within the NAEC are shown in Figure 2.

SITE DESCRIPTION
NAEC is located in Jackson and Manchester Townships, Ocean County,
New Jersey, approximately 14 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean (Figure 1). NAEC
is approximately 7,400 acres and is bordered by Route 547 to the east, the Fort Dix
Military Reservation to the west, woodland to the north (portions of which are within
Colliers Mill Wildlife Management Area), Lakehurst Borough and woodland, including
the Manchester Wildlife Management Area, to the south. NAEC and the surrounding
area are located within the Pinelands National Reserve, the most extensive undevel-
oped land tract of the Middle Atlantic Seaboard.
NAEC lies within the Outer Coastal Plain physiographic province, which
is characterized by gently rolling terrain with minimal relief. Surface elevations within
NAEC range from a low of approximately 60 feet above mean sea level in the east-
central part of the base, to a high of approximately 190 feet above mean sea level in
the southwestern part of the base. Maximum relief occurs in the southwestern part of
the base because of its proximity to the more rolling terrain of the Inner Coastal Plain.
Surface slopes are generally less than five percent.
NAEC lies within the Toms River Drainage Basin. The basin is relatively
small (191 square miles) and the residence time for surface drainage waters is short.
Drainage from NAEC discharges to the Ridgeway Branch to the north and to the Black
and Union Branches to the south. All three streams discharge into the Toms River.
Several headwater tributaries to these branches originate at NAEC. Northern
tributaries to the Ridgeway Branch include the Elisha, Success, Harris and Obhanan
Ridgeway Branches. The southern tributaries to the Black and Union Branches include
the North Ruckles and Middle Ruckles Branches and Manapaqua Brook. The
Ridgeway and Union Branches then feed Pine Lake; located approximately 2.5 miles
east of NAEC before joining Toms river. Storm drainage from NAEC is divided
between the north and south, discharging into the Ridgeway Branch and Union Branch,
-------
respectively. The Paint Branch, located in the east-central part of the bare, is a
relatively small stream which feeds the Manapaqua Brook.
Three small water bodies are located in the western portion of NAEC:
Bass Lake, Clubhouse Lake, and Pickerel Pond. NAEC also contains over 1,300 acres
of flood-prone areas, occurring primarily in the south-central part of the base, and
approximately 1,300 acres of prime agricultural land in the western portion of the base.
There are 913 acres on the eastern portion of NAEC that lie within
Manchester Township and the remaining acreage is in Jackson Township. The
combined population of Lakehurst Borough, Manchester and Jackson Townships, is
approximately 65,400, for an area of approximately 185 square miles. The average
population density of Manchester and Jackson Townships is 169 persons per square
mile, whereas the density of Lakehurst Borough is 3,061 persons per square mile.
The areas surrounding NAEC are, in general, not heavily developed. The
closest commercial area is located near the southeastern section of the facility in the
borough of Lakehurst. This is primarily a residential area with some shops but no
industry. To the north and south are State wildlife management areas which are
essentially undeveloped. Adjacent to and south of NAEC are commercial cranberry
bogs, the drainage from which crosses the southeast section of NAEC property.
For the combined area of Manchester and Jackson Townships, approxi-
mately 41 percent of the land is vacant (undeveloped), 57 percent is residential, one
percent is commercial and the remaining one percent is industrial or fanned. For
Lakehurst Borough, 83 percent of the land is residential, 11 percent is vacant, and the
remaining 6 percent commercially developed.
In the vicinity of the NAEC, water is generally supplied to the populace
by municipal supply wells. Some private wells exist, but these are used primarily for
-------
irrigation and not as a source of drinking water. In Lakehurst Borough there is a well
field consisting of seven 50-foot deep wells, located approximately two-thirds of a mile
south of the eastern portion of NAEC. Three of the seven wells (four of the wells are
rarely operated) are pumped at an average rate of 70 to 90 gallons per minute and
supply drinking water for a population of approximately 3,000. Jackson Township
operates one supply well in the Legler area, approximately one-quarter mile north of
the NAEC, which supplies water to very small population (probably less than 1,000) in
the immediate vicinity of the NAEC.
SITE HISTORY
The history of the NAEC dates back to 1916, when the Eddystone
Chemical Company leased from the Manchester Land Development Company property
to develop an experimental firing range for the testing of chemical artillery shells.
Testing was accomplished in cooperation and agreement with the Russian Imperial
Government until its fall in 1919. At that time, the U.S. Army assumed control of
chemical warfare testing by the Eddystone Chemical Company and named the area
Camp Kendrick. By the early fall of 1919, construction of Hangar No. 1 for the Navy
had commenced. Camp Kendrick was turned over to the Navy and formally
commissioned Naval Air Station (NAS), Lakehurst, New Jersey on June 28, 1921.
NAEC was moved from the Naval Base, Philadelphia to Lakehurst in December 1974.
At that time, NAEC became the host activity, thus, the new name NAEC Lakehurst.
Currently, NAEC's mission is to conduct programs of research, engineer-
ing, development testing and evaluation, systems integration, limited production,
procurement and fleet engineering support in the following areas: aircraft launching,
recovery and landing aid systems; ground support equipment for aircraft and for
airborne weapons systems to provide, operate and maintain test sites, facilities, and
support services for tests of the above systems and equipment; and conduct research
and development of equipment and instrumentation used in tests. NAEC supports
-------
Department of Defense (DOD) standardization and specification programs, provides
services and material, and operates and maintains aviation and other facilities in
support of assigned programs.
NAEC and its tenant activities now occupy more than 300 buildings, built
between 1919 and 1979, totaling over 2,845,000 square feet. The command also
operates and maintains: two 5,000-foot long runways, a 12,000-foot long catapult and
arrest runway, one one-mile long jet car test track, four one and one-quarter mile long
jet car test tracks, a parachute jump circle, -a 79-acre golf course, and a 3,500-acre
conservation area.
The various operations and activities at NAEC required the use, handling,
storage and occasionally the on-site disposal of hazardous substances. During the
operational period of the facility, there have been documented, reported or suspected
releases of these substances into the environment in some areas.
INITIAL INVESTIGATIONS
As part of the DOD Installation Restoration Program, the Navy developed
the Navy Assessment and Control of Installation Pollutants (NACIP) program to
"identify, assess and control environmental contamination from past methods of storage,
handling, and disposal of hazardous substances at naval shore facilities".
As part of the NACIP program, an Initial Assessment Study (IAS) was
completed in 1983 by the Naval Energy and Environmental Support Activity (NEESA)
at NAEC. The purpose of the IAS was to "identify and assess sites posing a potential
threat to human health or the environment due to contamination from past hazardous
materials operations".
-------
Based on information from historical records, aerial photograpus, field
inspections, and personnel interviews, the IAS identified a total of 44 potentially
contaminated sites, which were evaluated with regard to contamination characteristics,
migration pathways, and pollutant receptors. The IAS concluded that "while none of
the sites pose an immediate threat to human health or the environment, 16 warrant
further investigation under the NACEP program, to assess potential impacts". A
Remedial Investigation (RI) was recommended "to confirm or deny the existence of the
suspected contamination and to quantify the extent of any problems which may exist".
Following further review of available data by Navy personnel, it was decided that 42
of the 44 sites should be included in the Remedial Investigation. Two potentially
contaminated sites - an ordnance site (Site 41) and an Advanced Underground Storage
Facility (Site 43), were deleted from the Remedial Investigation because they had
already been rehabilitated. This Record of Decision concerns only Sites 5, 19 and 21.
NAEC was designated in 1987 as a National Priorities List (NPL) site
under CERCLA.
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION/FEASTBn^TY STUDY
NAEC's Remedial Investigation (RI) was conducted in two phases.
Implementation of the verification phase (Phase I of the RI) was initiated in October
1984. Phase II of the RI was initiated in the summer of 1988 to (a) confirm the results
of the Phase I study, specifically the presence or absence of contamination; (b) deter-
mine where contamination is present, characterize the extent of contamination, assess
the potential for contaminant migration and define the sources of contamination; and
(c) support a feasibility study and/or final actions at the Sites. Summaries of the
resulting analytical data for Sites 5, 19 and 21 are provided in Tables 1 through 3.
These investigations indicated that the only significant contamination
present at levels of concern at these three sites was total petroleum hydrocarbons
-------
(PHC) in soil. As a result, additional soil sampling was conducted by NAEC at the
Sites in January and February 1991 to delineate the extent of PHC contamination.
Based on the results of this and prior sampling, small-scale soil removals were
conducted at each of the Sites, after which, post-removal samples were collected to
confirm the removal of contaminated soil. The analysis of these samples revealed total
petroleum hydrocarbons at concentrations below NJDEPE guidelines (i.e., action
levels), confirming the success of the removal.
The individual Site histories and summaries of past remedial and removal
activities at each of the three Sites are provided in the following sections.
SITE 5 - ARRESTING ENGINR RSTS TRACK NO. ?„ PI ft! ratifi 371
Site History
Site 5 is located directly behind Building 371 (Figure 3). The site was
reportedly used for the surface storage of small amounts of liquid waste for a 22-year
period between 1958 and 1980, causing visible discoloration of the soil. The types of
materials discarded are unknown, but it is suspected that liquids in common use at the
site, including cleaning solvents (e.g., trichloroethylene), propylene glycol and hydraulic
fluid. The quantities of each chemical spilled at the site are unknown.
Currently, no activities which involve the use, storage or disposal of
hazardous substances occur at, or are planned for, this site. The site is currently
partially covered by sand, grassy vegetation and several trees with no noticeable stained
soil or debris.

May - June 1988:
August -
December 1988:
A hazardous waste drum accumulation area, with a second-
ary containment, was constructed for use at this site. It was
reported that visibly contaminated soil at the site was
removed.
Remedial Investigation - Phase I. Monitoring well DJ was
installed at the site (Figure 3). Organic Vapor Analyzer
(OVA) readings inside the casing of this well did not exceed
background levels. Analysis of a groundwater sample
collected from the well did not reveal any contamination
above ARARs (Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate
Requirements) or State Action Levels.
An approximately 5-foot by 5-foot area of black stained soil,
with a tar-like appearance, was observed near the southeast-
ern corner of Building 371. OVA levels in a shallow (one
foot) test pit excavated within this stained-soil area did not
exceed background levels. Similarly, OVA readings did not
exceed background levels in one test pit excavated near well
DJ, and another test pit excavated approximately 50 feet east
of Building 371.
Soil gas and groundwater screening surveys conducted at the
site revealed petroleum and trace concentrations of chlori-
nated hydrocarbons in groundwater and soil gas. On the
basis of these data, additional investigations were recom-
mended.
Remedial Investigation - Phase n. Two rounds of groundwa-
ter samples were collected from monitoring well DJ, which
is directly downgradient of the site, and analyzed for compre-
hensive organic and inorganic parameters and petroleum
hydrocarbons. No contaminants were detected in the
samples at levels exceeding ARARs or State Action Levels.
Two test pits were excavated at the site: one adjacent to
Building 371 at a location where petroleum and chlorinated
hydrocarbons had been detected in soil gas and one at a
location about 100 feet northeast from the building, where
-------
June 1990:
January -
February 1991:
March 1991:
the highest levels of hydrocarbons had been detected in the
groundwater screening survey. No staining was observed and
no OVA readings above background levels were recorded in
the test pits. One soil sample was collected from each of the
test pits (Figure 3) and analyzed for organic and inorganic
parameters and petroleum hydrocarbons. Petroleum
hydrocarbons were detected in the sample collected from the
test pit adjacent to Building 371 at a concentration of 624
mg/kg. No carcinogenic organic compounds were present in
this same sample and no other contaminants were detected
in either of the two soil samples.
During a reconnaissance survey of the site, a small area of
black surficial soil staining was observed near the edge of the
blacktop to the east of Building 371, near the location of test
pit S5-3, sampled during the Phase n Investigation. The
location of this staining appeared to coincide with the
staining noted previously during the Phase I Investigation,
suggesting that the contamination was not recent.
To delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of PHC
contamination in soil at Site 5, NAEC collected soil samples
at 45 locations based on a 10-feet by 10-feet grid. The
sampling grid, sampling locations and analytical results for
this sampling are shown in Figure 4. The analytical results
are also provided in Table 4. On the basis of all the
available analytical data, NAEC proposed to excavate all soil
exhibiting PHC concentrations greater than 1,000 mg/kg, the
State-defined action level for the Site.
With the approval of USEPA, NJDEPE and other Technical
Review Committee (TRC) members, NAEC excavated
approximately 19 cubic yards of soil exhibiting PHC concen-
trations greater than 1,000 mg/kg. The soil was excavated
from two separate areas, as shown in Figure 4. The depth of
soil excavation at each of the areas was 2 to 25 feet. The
soil was transported for disposal off-site at Atlantic Thermal
Soil Remediation, Inc. in Delaware.
Following the removal, on March 27,1991, two post-excava-
tion samples, S5-A and S5-B, were collected from the areas
of soil removal. Prior to collection of the samples, the areas
of soil removal were thoroughly screened with an Organic
10
-------
Vapor Analyzer (OVA) No readings above background
levels were recorded. The samples were analyzed for
petroleum hydrocarbons and EPA's Target Compound List
(TCL) base/neutral extractable organic compounds to
confirm the absence of contamination.
The samples were collected at the bottom of the soil removal
areas, at the locations shown in Figure 4. The analytical
results for these samples are presented in Table 5. Petro-
leum hydrocarbons were detected in only one of the samples,
S5-A, at a concentration of 26 mg/kg, below Federal and
State guidelines. The only base/neutral organic compound
detected in the samples was di-n-butyl phthalate, which was
also found in a laboratory blank and is commonly present in
environmental samples as an artifact of laboratory proce-
dures.
SITE 19 - SATS CATAPULT (7401 TEST SITE)
Site History
Site 19 is located approximately 700-800 feet southeast of the R.A.L.S
(Runway Assisted Landing System) Tower (Figure 5) and was the test site for an
expeditionary catapult launcher that was tested during the 1960s and 1970s. The site
was abandoned in the early 1970s, after which it became a minor storage area for 55-
gallon drums of waste materials. Materials and quantities stored at the site are
unknown. Another potential source of contamination at the site was releases associated
with testing of the catapult equipment. The potential contaminants may have included
clutch oil, hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil and jet fuel.
In the early 1980s, during initial investigations at the site, twenty-two
55-gallon drums were removed from the site. The drums were reportedly filled with
assorted liquid wastes, including fuel, lubricating oil and hydraulic fluid. The drums
were taken for disposal to the Chem Clear, Inc. facility in Pennsylvania.
11
-------
All the equipment and structures have been removed from the site, which
is currently a sandy area, partially covered with grassy vegetation. No activities
involving the use, storage or disposal of hazardous waste occur at, or are planned for,
this site.
pf ^CTC/dJiJ ITTYffilft*E3tiflfflS 81KJ RfffflffY^ Actions
Pre-1985: One groundwater monitoring well (AW) was installed near
the site under the direction of NAEC and monitored
regularly for the presence of floating product. None was
detected. All drums present at the site were removed under
the direction of NAEC.
November 1985 -
January 1986: Remedial Investigate - Phase I. Monitoring well DQ was
installed approximately 100 feet downgradient from the site
(Figure 5). Analysis of a groundwater sample collected from
the well revealed one volatile organic compound, tetrachloro
ethylene, at a concentration of 8 Mg/1- Additional investiga-
tions were recommended.
OVA readings inside the casings of wells AW and DQ did
not exceed background levels. Two small areas of stained
soil were observed in the vicinity of the site. One was
located in a minor drainage swale approximately 80-100 feet
east of well AW, and the second one approximately 30-40
feet east of the drainage swale. The stains appeared to be
old and confined to the upper 4-6 inches. Two test pits were
excavated at the site, one east of well DQ and one south of
well AW. OVA readings in these pits did not exceed
background levels.
May - June 1988: Soil gas and groundwater screening surveys conducted at the
site did not reveal petroleum hydrocarbon contamination.
Slightly elevated levels of total chlorinated hydrocarbons
were detected in groundwater. On the basis of this data,
additional investigations were recommended.

-------
AugiU -
December 1988:
January -
February 1991:
March 1991:
Remedial Investigation • Phase E. Two rounds of groundwa-
ter samples were collected from monitoring well DQ and
analyzed for organic and inorganic parameters and petro-
leum hydrocarbons. No contamination was detected in these
samples and the presence of tetrachloroethylene in the well
was not confirmed.
Two test pits were excavated at the site near the areas where
soil staining had been observed during the Phase I Investiga-
tion. Although no stained soil was observed during Phase n,
a slight petroleum odor was detected in one of the pits.
Duplicate soil samples were collected from this pit (Figure
5) and analyzed for organic and inorganic parameters and
petroleum hydrocarbons. Total petroleum hydrocarbons
were detected in the samples at concentrations of 20, 363
and 10,071 mg/kg. No carcinogenic organic compounds were
detected in these samples.
To delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of PHC
contamination at the site, NAEC collected soil samples at
83 locations based on a 20-feet by 20-feet grid. The sam-
pling grid, sample locations and analytical results are shown
in Figure 6. The analytical results are also provided in
Table 4. On the basis of all the available analytical data,
NAEC proposed to excavate all soil exhibiting PHC concen-
trations greater than 1,000 mg/kg, the State-defined Action
Level for the Site.
With the approval of USEPA, NJDEPE and other TRC
members, in mid-March 1991, NAEC excavated approxi-
mately 35 cubic yards of soil exhibiting PHC concentrations
greater than 1,000 mg/kg. The soil was excavated from two
separate areas, as shown in Figure 6. The depth of excava-
tion for each area was approximately two feet. In addition
to these two areas, a small amount of surface soil containing
pieces of asphalt was entirely shoveled up from a third
location in the western portion of Site 19 (Figure 6, grid
location 43, 2.5). A sample at this location, of the
soil/asphalt mixture, was found to contain PHC at a concen-
tration of 39,000 mg/kg, probably due to the asphalt in the
sample. All excavated soil was transported for disposal off-
site at Atlantic Thermal Soil Remediation, Inc. in Delaware.
13
-------
Following the removal, two post-excavation samples, S19-A
and S19-B, were collected from the areas of soil removal.
Prior to collection of the samples, the areas of soil removal
were thoroughly screened with an OVA. No readings above
background levels were recorded. The samples were
analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons and TO- base/neutral
extractable organic compounds to confirm the absence of
contamination.
The samples were collected at the bottom of the soil removal
areas, at the locations shown in Figure 6. The analytical
results are presented in Table 5. No petroleum hydrocar-
bons were detected in either sample. The only base/neutral
organic compound detected in the samples was di-n-butyl
phthalate, which was also detected in a laboratory blank and
is a common artifact of laboratory procedures.
SITE 21 - JET-CAR MAINTENANCE SHOP
Site History
Site 21 is located approximately 300 feet southeast of the launching end
of RSTS Track No. 5 (Figure 7). Between 1958 and 1981, solvents and jet fuel were
stored in the yard in front of the Jet-Car Maintenance Shop (Building 384). During this
time, a 1,000-gallon bowser was used to contain used solvent and contaminated fuel
while awaiting disposal (the bowser was removed from the Site in 1983). Engine
maintenance operations generated small amounts of waste solvents which, reportedly,
were generally thrown out behind the building. In 1983, areas of soil stained with a
black, oily residue were noticed near the edges of the paved area. It is suspected that
cleaning solvent, trichloroethylene, jet fuel, and lubricating oil were discharged or
spilled here, but the quantities are not known. Affected areas at this site range in size
from 3x3 feet to 12 x 21 feet. A static jet engine test pad (concrete) was also used
at the site during a 23-year period (1958 to 1981) to test jet engine performance. The
jet blast from the testing during this period created a 50 x 200-foot eroded area devoid
of "vegetation. Prior to 1985, a hazardous waste drum accumulation area was
constructed at the site to eliminate former "poor housekeeping" practices.

A hazardous waste drum accumulation area with a secondary
containment was constructed at the site.
Remedial Investigation • Phase I. Monitoring well DR was
installed approximately 150 feet downgradient from the site.
Analysis of groundwater samples from this well and from a
60-feet deep supply well also located at the site (SW-21)
revealed no contamination. OVA levels inside the casing of
well DR did not exceed background levels.
A shallow test pit was excavated within an area of stained
soil in the drainage swale east of Building 384. OVA
readings within the test pit were approximately 350 parts per
million. One soil sample was collected from the pit and
from another location near the jet engine test pad. The
samples were analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons. Petro-
leum hydrocarbons were detected in the sample from the test
pit at a concentration of 26,000 mg/kg and in the sample
from the jet engine test area at a concentration of 2,800
mg/kg.
Remedial Investigation - Phase E. Two rounds of groundwa-
ter samples were collected from monitoring well DR and
supply well SW-21 and analyzed for organic and inorganic
parameters and petroleum hydrocarbons. No contamination
was detected in these samples.
One soil boring was drilled at the site, at a location adjacent
to the former jet engine test pad. A soil sample collected
from the 12 to 14 feet depth interval in this boring was
analyzed for organic and inorganic parameters and petro-
leum hydrocarbons. No contamination was detected in this
sample.

January -
February 1991:
March 1991:
To delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of PHC
contamination in soil Site 21, NAEC collected soil samples
at 60 locations, based on a 10 feet by 10 feet grid. The
sampling grid, sample locations and analytical results are
shown in Figure 8. The analytical results are also provided
in Table 4. On the basis of all the available analytical data,
NAEC proposed to excavate all soil exhibiting PHC concen-
trations greater than 1,000 mg/kg, the State-defined action
level for the Site.
With the approval, of USEPA, NJDEPE and other TRC
members, NAEC excavated approximately 22 cubic yards of
soil exhibiting PHC concentrations greater than 1,000 mg/kg.
The soil was excavated from three separate areas, which are
shown in Figure 8. In each area, soil was excavated to a
depth of approximately two feet. The soil was transported
for disposal off-site at Atlantic Thermal Soil Remediation,
Inc. in Delaware.
Following the removal, two post-excavation samples, S21-A
and S21-B were collected from the areas of soil removal.
Prior to collection of the samples, the areas of soil removal
were thoroughly screened with an OVA. No readings above
background levels were recorded. The samples were
analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons and EPA's Target
Compound List (TCL) base/neutral extractable organic
compounds to confirm the absence of contamination.
The samples were collected at the bottom of the soil removal
areas, at the locations shown in Figure 8. The analytical
results are presented in Table 5. No petroleum hydrocar-
bons were detected in either sample. The only base/neutral
organic compound detected was di-n-butyl phthalate, which
was detected in sample S21-A only. This compound was also
present in a laboratory blank and is believed to be an artifact
of the laboratory procedures.

HKfHI JfiHTS OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
The Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP) for Sites 5, 19 and 21 was
issued to interested parties on August 26,1991. On August 26-28,1991, a newspaper
notification inviting public comment on the PRAP appeared in The Asburv Park Press.
The Ocean County Observer, and The Advanced News. The comment period was held
from August 26 to September 26,1991. The newspaper notification also identified the
Ocean County Library as the location of the Information Repository.
A public hearing was held on September 4, 1991. At this meeting
representatives from the Navy, USEPA and NJDEPE were available to answer
questions about the three Sites, and the No Action determination. A list of attendees
is attached to this Record of Decision as Appendix B. Comments received and
responses provided during the public bearing are included in the Responsiveness
Summary, which is part of this Record of Decision. No written comments were
received during the public comments period.
This decision document presents the selected remedial action (i.e., No
Action) for Sites 5, 19 and 21 of NAEC in Ocean County, New Jersey, chosen in
accordance with CERCLA, as amended by SARA and, to the extent practicable, the
National Contingency Plan (NCP). The decision for the three Sites is based on the
administrative record which is available for public review at the Ocean County Library,
101 Washington Street, Toms River, New Jersey.
SCOPE ANTC ROT F OF RESPONSE ACTION
The results of environmental investigations conducted show no evidence
of any significant contamination remaining at Sites 5,19 and 21. The PHC contamina-
tion in soil which was identified at these Sites has been remediated to levels acceptable
to USEPA and NJDEPE. Because the available data indicate that conditions at Sites
17
-------
5,19 and 21 pose no unacceptable risks to human health or the environment, no action
is necessary for these three Sites.
SUMMARIES OF SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The locations of each of the three Sites within the NAEC are shown in
Figure 2. Maps of the individual Sites are provided in Figures 3, 5 and 7. The entire
NAEC is underlain by the Cohansey Formation, a water-table sand aquifer. The
general direction of groundwater flow at NAEC is to the east-northeast. Chemicals
detected in the analyses of groundwater, soil and sediment samples collected at each
of the Sites are provided in Tables 1 through 5.
SUMMARIES OF SITE RISKS
The results of the Remedial Investigations, including the analytical data
summarized in Tables 1 through 5, indicate that conditions at Sites 5,19 and 21 pose
no unacceptable risks to human health and the environment.

RECORD OF DECISION
RESPONSIVENESS SUMMARY
STIES 5, 19 AND 21
NAVAL AIR ENGINEERING CENTER
The purpose of this responsiveness summary is to review public response
to the Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP) for Sites 5, 19 and 21. It also
documents NAECs consideration of such comments during the decision making process
and provides answers to any comments raised during the public comment period.
The responsiveness summary for the three Sites is divided into the
following three sections:
Overview - This section briefly describes the process to develop and
evaluate the appropriate remedial responses for the three Sites, the No-
Action alternative recommended in the PRAP and any impacts on the
proposed plan due to public comment.
• Background on Community Involvement - This section describes
community relations activities conducted with respect to the area of
concern.
Summary of Major Questions and Comments • This section summarizes
verbal and written comments received during the public meeting and
public comment period.
OVERVIEW
Sites 5, 19 and 21 are located at NAEC in Ocean County, Lakehurst, New
Jersey. The three Sites have been under investigation for potential environmental
19
-------
contamination. This responsiveness summary addresses public response to the PRAP,
proposing the No-Action Alternative, for the three Sites only.
The PRAP and other supporting information are available for public
review at the information repository located at the Ocean County Library, 101
Washington Street, Toms River, New Jersey.
BACKGROUND ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
This section provides a brief history of community participation in the
investigation and interim remedial planning activities conducted at the three Sites.
Throughout the investigation period, the USEPA and NJDEPE have been reviewing
work plans and reports and have been providing comments and recommendations which
are incorporated into the appropriate documents. A Technical Review Committee
(TRC), consisting of representatives of the Navy, the USEPA, the NJDEPE, the Ocean
County Board of Health, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, other agencies and
communities surrounding NAEC was formed and has been holding periodic meetings
to maintain open lines of communication and to inform all parties of current activities.
Prior to the public release of site-specific documents, NAECs public
relations staff compiled a list of local public officials who demonstrated or were
expected to have an interest in the investigation. Local environmental interest groups
were also identified and included on this list. The list is attached as Appendix A to this
Record of Decision.
On August 26, 1991, NAEC mailed the PRAP for the three sites to
concerned parties on the list described above. On August 26-28,1991, a public notice
appeared in The Asbury Park Press and The Ocean Coynty Observer, and in The
Advance News. The public notice summarized the PRAP and the preferred (No-
Action) alternative. The announcement also identified the time and location of a
20
-------
public bearing and specified a public comment period, and the address to which written
comments could be sent. Public comments were accepted from August 26 through
September 26, 1991.
A public meeting was held on September 4, 1991, at 7:30 p.m. at the
Lakehurst Elementary School in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The Site investigations, Site
evaluation process and the proposed remedial alternative (No-Action) were discussed.
NAEC representatives present included: Carol Ancellin, Deputy Public Affairs Office;
Robert Kirkbright, Engineering Director; ' Lucy Bottomley, Head Environmental
Engineer; and Aarti Dalai Reddy, Michael Figura and Jill Meredith, Environmental
Engineers. Mr. Jeffrey Gratz, represented the USEPA's Federal Facility Section; Ms.
Donna GafSgan represented the NJDEPE's Bureau of Federal Case Management; Mr.
Kevin Schick represented NJDEPE's Bureau of Environmental Evaluation and Risk
Assessment and Ms. Linda Welkom represented NJDEPE's Bureau of Groundwater
Pollution Abatement. The complete attendance list is provided in Appendix B to this
Record of Decision.
SUMMARY OF MAJOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Written Comments
During the public comment period from August 26 through September 28,
1991, no written comments were received pertaining to Sites 5, 19 or 21.
Public Meeting
In addition to Sites 5, 19 and 21, the September 4, 1991, public hearing
also addressed Site No. 44 (for which the "no-action" alternative was also proposed) and
NAEC Areas A and B, for which an interim remedial action was proposed for
groundwater. None of the questions asked during the September 4, 1991 public hearing
21
-------
pertained specifically to Sites 5,19 and 21 or the "No-Action" alternative proposal for
these Sites. A complete transcript of the questions asked and responses given during
the public hearing is provided in Appendix C to this Record of Decision.
