<br />Rock island, Illinois 61799 -6000
<br />Subject: BX Certification 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 5X 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 bonding" does not pose an explosive safety hazard and
<br />is safe for welding, drilling, sawing, etc. and sale to. the 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 1 (Section 17, Township 11, Range 10) is located West of Hall 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 L:ine,1 (Buildings L -1, L-2,
<br />L -3; L-4, L -6, L -7, L-8, L -1.0, L -11E, L -11W, L -12, L -14, L -15, L -16, L-17, L -18, L -19, L-20, L -21, 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 />Explosives Safety Submission (ESS) approved by the Department of Defense Explosives Safety
<br />Board (DDES9).
<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 mapped 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, are excluded from this SX 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 />(EOD) 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 to the 5X level in accordance with the DDE5B- approved ESS.
