<br />Subject: 5if Certiflration of Load Line .1 at Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant,
<br />Grand Island, Nebraska
<br />According to the U.S. Army. Pamphlet iOCP 385 -1, the SX level of contamination exists when "no
<br />significant amounts (not enough to present an explosive safety hazard) of contamination remain."
<br />At the 5X level the "article, equipment or building" does not pose an explosive safety hazard and
<br />is safe for welding, drilling, Sawing, etc. and sale tattle general public. Therefore, in order for the
<br />U.S. Army to transfer the Comhusker AAP parcel for sale, it must first be classified as 5X.
<br />The Load Line I (Section 17, Township 11, Mange 10) is located West of Wall County in Grand
<br />island, Nebraska (refer to attached Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix A); and previously contained'
<br />buildings used in the production of ordnance items with explosive filler.
<br />The explosives decontamination and demolition operations in the Load Line 1 (Buildings L -1, L -2,
<br />L -3, LA L -6, L -7; L -81 L -10, L -21E, L. -11W, L "12, L -14, L,15, L -16; L-17, L -18, L -19, L -20, L -71, L-
<br />22, L -23, L -24, L -25, L -26, L -27, L -28, L -29, L -30) and the subsequent certification of 147 -acres of
<br />land parcel within the fenced boundary of the Load Line was conducted In accordance with the
<br />Explosivps'Safety Submission (ESS) approved by the Department. of Defense Explosives Safety
<br />Board (DDESB).
<br />During anomaly clearance of the land parcel within the boundaries of Load Line 1, two burial pits
<br />were encountered that contain asbestos, material. The sites were snapped using the GPS and
<br />marked using stakes to delineate the estimated extent of contamination, until follow-on disposition
<br />is determined by the Department of the Army, These two areas totaling .25 acres, as shown in
<br />figure 3, ate excluded from this 5X certification,
<br />The decontamination and demolition procedures resulting in the SX certification were executed by
<br />unexploded ordnance (UXO) personnel who were former military Explosive Ordnance Disposal
<br />(EOO) .technicians trained in the recognition, assessment and remediation of explosive
<br />contamination and hazards
<br />Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, the land parcel identified above has been
<br />decontaminated W the 5X lever in accordance with the DDESB- approved ESS..
