Operational Range Assessment Program, Phase I Qualitative Assessment ReportTooele Army Depot, UtahFebruary 2007EXECUTIVE SUMMARYPURPOSE:This qualitative assessment, hereinafter referred to as Phase I Assessment, evaluates Tooele ArmyDepot’s (TEAD’s) operational range area to assess whether further investigation is needed todetermine if potential munitions constituents of concern (MCOC) are or could be migrating off-rangeat levels that may pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. The Phase IAssessment results in the categorization of operational ranges as appropriate, as follows: Referred – Refer to Appropriate Cleanup Program: ranges with compelling evidence(e.g., sampling data) to indicate the presence of an off-range release that potentially posesan unacceptable risk to human health or the environment; Inconclusive – Phase II Quantitative Assessment Required: ranges where existinginformation either is insufficient to make a source-receptor interaction determination orindicates the potential for such interaction to be occurring; or Unlikely – Five-Year Review : ranges where, based upon a review of readily availableinformation, there is sufficient evidence to show that there are no known releases orsource-receptor interactions that could present an unacceptable risk to human health orthe environment.1SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:To facilitate the qualitative analysis, MCOC sources, potential migration pathways from a range, andpotential off-range human and/or ecological receptors associated with the ranges at TEAD wereevaluated. Each range was then placed into one of several descriptive groups that meet the criteria forthe Unlikely category.The four operational ranges at TEAD that were included in the Phase I Assessment have been placedinto the following category.Unlikely – Four ranges, totaling 576 acres, consisting of an actively used Small Arms Range andthree ranges that are not currently in use: a Small Arms Range and two munitions testing sites.These findings are summarized in Table ES-1.1All operational ranges must be periodically re-evaluated to determine if there is a release or substantial threatof release of MCOC from an operational range to an off-range area. Range groups categorized as Unlikely areto be re-evaluated at least every five years. Re-evaluation may occur sooner if significant changes (e.g.,changes in range operations, site conditions, regulatory changes) occur that affect determinations made duringthe Phase I Assessment.Malcolm Pirnie, Inc.ES - 1
