200809097 shall enforce compliance with the Endangered Species Act against the Grantee, its successors and assigns. g. Notice of Underground Storage Tank The Grantee is hereby informed and does acknowledge that Underground Storage Tanks that contained gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil were formerly located on the premises from 1957 to 1993. All tanks were removed no later than 1993. h. Notice of the Potential Presence of Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) 1. The Grantee is hereby notified that due to the former use of the Property as a military installation, the Property may contain munitions and explosives of concern (MEC). The term MEC means specific categories of military munitions that may pose unique explosives safety risks and includes: (1) Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), as defined in 10 U.S.C. ~101(e)(5); (2) Discarded military munitions (DMM), as defined in 10 U.S.C. ~271O(e)(2); or (3) Munitions constituents [e.g., TNT, RDX), as defined in 10 U.S.c. ~271O(e)(3), present in high enough concentrations to pose an explosive hazard]. 2. The Property (specifically Load Lines 2 and 3 ) were previously used as load, assemble and pack (LAP) facilities for the production of artillery shells, mines, bombs, and rockets. The following munitions responses were conducted. (a) In 2001-2003, thermal decomposition and demolition of the buildings that remained at the load lines was performed. Following demolition of the buildings, the soil under the former building locations was tested to determine if the explosives content of the soil exceeded 10% (levels above this are considered explosive safety hazards). Any soil exceeding this level was remediated. (b) In 2004 and 2005, geophysical investigations of Load Lines 2 and 3 were conducted, as part of activities designed to certify the load line properties safe for transfer. The purpose of these investigations was to locate potential buried MEC items at the load lines. The investigations were conducted at areas outside the building footprints. Following geophysical mapping of anomalies, intrusive investigation of the anomalies was conducted. At Load Line 2, a total of 1,243 anomalies were dug, the majority of which were buried metal objects related to railroad, farming or construction activities. A burial pit with asbestos-containing material was located during the Load Line 2 investigation and left in place since asbestos removal was not in the scope of the MEC contract. See also Subparagraph e. below. At Load Line 3, a total of 1,927 anomalies were dug, the majority of which were buried metal objects related to railroad, farming, or construction activities. (c) In 2005, the boiler houses on Load Lines 2 and 3 were demolished. Prior to beginning this work, building materials in the boiler houses were tested to ensure that no explosive residue or contamination was present. These tests were all negative for explosives. 10
