OSTI ID:6980403

The 640-acre U.S. Defense General Supply Center (DGSC) is a military support, service, and storage facility located approximately 11 miles south of the City of Richmond, Virginia. Land use in the area is predominantly light industrial and residential with surrounding woodlands. Studies conducted by the Army in 1984 led to initiating site clean-up activities. Results of remedial investigations revealed VOCs, other organics, and metal contamination in soil and ground water samples at sites throughout the facility. The ROD addresses the interim remediation of contaminated soil surrounding the ANP as OU5. The future ROD will address the remediation of ground water associated with the acid neutralization pits. Other RODs will address remediation activities for the remaining contamination areas at the site. The primary contaminants affecting the soil are VOCs including PCE, TCE, benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including pesticides and solvents; and arsenic. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
