FT002 - Fire Training Area #1



Fire Training Area #1 (FT002) is located in the northern part of the North/East/West Industrial Operable Unit. Waste fuel, oil and solvents were burned at the site during fire training exercises conducted between 1943 and 1950. It was common practice at Travis AFB, and at many fire-fighting facilities throughout the country, for firefighters to practice fire-fighting techniques by burning waste solvents and oils in open pits. The site is now a grassy field with landscaping on the northern portion. The local soil is contaminated with metals, VOC, and TPH.

Based on human health and ecological assessments of the potential risks posed by the contaminants, the North/East/West Industrial Operable Unit Soil, Sediment, and Surface Water Record of Decision selected No Action for the soil at this site. Since there are no other media of concern associated with Fire Training Area #1, it is a closed site.
