Abstract | The 250-acre USA Letterkenny - PDO site is within the 19,500-acre active U.S. Army facility in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Land use in the area is primarily agricultural, with scattered residences and military facilities. Since 1942, the U.S. Army has used the PDO Area to overhaul, rebuild, and fix wheeled and tracked vehicles; distribute class III chemicals and petroleum; and score, maintain, demilitarize, modify, and demolish ammunition. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses remediation of onsite soil as the first operable unit (OU1). A subsequent ROD will address ground water contamination as OU2. Because a majority of the soil contaminants have already moved down into the clays and silts of the underlying bedrock and ground water, soil contaminants now pose low risks for humans at the site, and no remediation of the soil is necessary. There are no primary contaminants of concern affecting this site. |
