Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5776652

The 1,100-acre Ogden Defense Depot (Operable Unit 3) site is a key installation in the Department of Defense (DOD) supply system in Ogden, Weber County, Utah. Since 1941, oily liquid materials and combustible solvents have been burned in pits, and solid materials have been buried onsite, burned, or removed for offsite disposal. From 1942 to 1946, over 1 million pounds of mustard agent were stored at the WW II Mustard Storage Facility. From the 1950's to 1960's, items also were buried intermittently at Burial Site 3-A. The ROD addresses the potential threats to future onsite residents and Depot workers posed by contaminated soil and debris, as OU3. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and debris are organics, including pesticides; metals, including arsenic; and other inorganics.
