SUMMARY
This report
presents
the results
of an Initial
Assessment
Study
(IAS)
conducted
at Marine
Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune
and outlying
fields.
The purpose
of an IAS is to identify
and assess sites
posing
a
potential
threat
to human health
or the environment
due to contamination
from past hazardous
materials
operations.
Based on information
from historical
records,
aerial
photographs,
field
inspections,
and personnel
interviews,
a total
of
76 potentially
contaminated
sites
were identified.
Each of the sites
evaluated
with regard
to contamination
characteristics,
migration
pathways,
and pollutant
receptors.
was
The study concludes
that,
while none of the sites
pose an
immediate
threat
to human health
or the environment,

study,
involving
actual
sampling
and monitoring
of the
22 sites,
is recommended
to

1.1
PURPOSE OF INITIAL
ASSESSMENT STUDY.
The Naval Energy and
Environmental
Support
Activity
(NEESA) conducts
Initial
Assessment
Studies
(IASs)
as directed
by the Chief of Naval Operations
(CNO).
NEESA
works in conjunction
with
the Ordnance Environmental
Support
Office
(OESO) during
IASs.
The purpose
of an IAS is to collect
and evaluate
evidence
which indicates
existance
of pollutants
that may brave
contaminated
a site
or that
pose a potential
health
hazard
for people
located
on or off an installation.
The IAS is the first
phase of the
Navy Assessment
and Control
of Installation
Pollutants
(NACIP)
program.
The objective
of the NACIP program
is to identify,
assess,
and control
environmental
contamination
from past hazardous
materials
storage,
transfer,
processing,
and disposal
operations.
The NACIP'program
was
initiated
by OPNAVNOTE 6240 ser 45/733503
of 11 September
1980 and Marine
Corps Order 6280.1
of 30 January
1981.

DISCUSSION.
The Camp Lejeune
complex
covers
approximately
170
square
miles.
Wastes
have been disposed
of in many areas
during
the
existence
of the base.
Because
it is so large,
Camp Lejeune
has used
localized
sites
for waste
disposal.
However,
all waste
was not disposed
of at authorized
areas.
Waste disposal
occurred
in many parts
of the
installation
and included
disposal
on the ground
surface;
the use of
borrow
pits;
and spreading
of waste
oils,
solvents,
and other
POL
compounds
on roads
for dust
control.
.
Located
on the Camp Lejeune
complex
(including
Marine
Corps Air
Station
CMCAS) New River
and HOLF Oak Grove)
are 76 sites
at which
some
form of waste
disposal
took
place.
These sites
were documented
through

and interviews
with
former

potential
for contaminant

At MCAS New River,
waste oils,
solvents
and other
compounds were often
released
to storm drains
that
entered
the New River.
Another
practice
was to store waste fuel,
oils,
and solvents
and use them to control
dust on unimproved
roads.
About
1,000 gallons
per week of contaminated
JP fuel,
crankcase
fluids,
paint

and other
assorted
POL compounds were used.
Fuels and solvents
were used during

Disposal
(EOD) personnel
have typically
handled

is either
burned
or electrically
exploded.
However,
some relatively
small
amounts of unexploded
ordnance
may have
been disposed
of in dumpsters
and then buried
in at least
one landfill.
Potential
for contamination
of the aquifer
varies
at Camp
Lejeune
because
of the discontinuous
nature
of confining
layers.
There'fore knowledge
of nearby geological
conditions
is needed to completely
evaluate
a specific
site.
Geohydrology
of the Camp Lejeune
complex
is
such that
groundwater
generally
moves toward the New River
and its
tributaries.
Potable
wells
at the base are usually
deep, but, due to
voids
in the confining
layer,
some wells
may not be completely
isolated
from shallow
groundwater.
Also, heavy demands for water may at times
produce
an overall
decline
of pressure'in
the semiconfined
aquifer.
Therefore,
contaminants
can migrate
laterallv
and vertically
through
gaps
in the confining
layer.
Another
factor
possibly
affecting
groundwater
quality
is the unknown status
of abandoned
wells.
Wells
improperly
sealed
when abandoned
may become pathways for contaminant
migration.

In 1978, 200 to 300 gallons
of
Avgas were spilled

It is estimated
that
during

more than 100,000
gallons

leaked
into
the surrounding

due to corrosion
of underground

been used since
the 1950s for crash crew training
with vaiious
POL

Originally,
training
was on the ground

surrounded
by a berm.
Later,
a pit was used, which was eventually
lined.
The area is about

potential.
Important
information
at sites
may remain
to be gathered
during
confirmation.
This is because
the purpose
of the IAS study has
been to determine
contamination
potential,
and at many sites,
this
has
been satisfactorily
assessed
without
processing
all
information
which may
be relevent
to a confirmation
investigation.
For example,
at some sites,
precise
location
of site
boundaries
remain
inexact,
and an important
aspect
of confirmation
will
be to better
define
them.
b Hazardous
waste sites
identified
by the LAS team were evaluated
using ,a Confirmation
Study Ranking
System (CSRS) developed
by Naval
Energy and Environmental
Support
Activity
(NEESA) for the Navy Assessment
and Control
of Installation
Pollutants
(NACIP)
program.
The system is a
two-step
procedure
for systematically
evaluating
a,site's
potential
hazard
to human health
and the environment,
based on evidence
collected
during
the IAS.
1
Step one of the system is a flowchart
which eliminates
innocuous
sites
from further
consideration.
Step two is a ranking
model
which assigns
a numerical
score within
a range of 0 to 100, to indicate
the potential
severity
of a site.
Scores are a reflection
of the
characteristics
of the wastes disposed
of at a site,
contaminant
migration
pathways,
and potential
contaminant
receptors
on and off the
installation.
CSRS scores and engineering
judgment
are then used to
evaluate
the need for a confirmation
study based on the criteria

GENERAL.
Marine
Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune
is on the
coastal
plain
in Onslow County,
North Carolina.
The facility
covers
approximately
170 square miles
and is bisected
by the New River,
which
flows in a generally
southeasterly
direction.
This system forms a large
estuary
before
entering
the Atlantic
Ocean.
Eleven
miles
of Atlantic
shoreline
form the eastern
boundary
of
Camp Lejeune.
The western
and northeastern
boundaries
are U.S. 17 and
State Road 24, respectively.
Jacksonville,
North
Carolina,
acts as the
nqrthern
boundary.
The complex
has a roughly
triangular
outline.
Development
at the Camp Lejeune
complex
is primarily
in five
geographical
locations
under the jurisdiction
of the Base Command.
They
include
Camp Geiger,
Montford

Mainside,

Rifle

and was named in
Lejeune,
USMC (Odell,
1970).
During
construction,
9 million
board feet of timber
were
harvested
from the reservation.
In 1944, a sawmill
with a daily
capacity
of 10,000 board feet was being
operated
by base maintenance
personnel.
The sawmill
closed
in 1954, when lumber
needs were filled
by contract.
Construction
of the base started
on Hadnot Point,
where the
major
functions
were centered.
As the facility
grew and developed,
Hadnot Point
became crowded with maintenance
and industrial
activities.
The problem
led to the creation
of a master

these
other
present
and potential
problems.

Wetland
Ecosystems.
5.4.2
Wetlands
found in the coastal
plain
vary
from those bordering
freshwater
streams
and ponds to salt marshes
along
coastal
estuaries.
The most unusual
wetland
system is the pocosin,
which
has been referred
to as a shrub bog by Christensen
(1979).
The term
pocosin
originates
from an Algonquin
Indian
name meaning
"swamp on a

pressions.
The wetlands
expand beyond the physical
boundaries
of the
depression
as the peat retains
water.
Eventually,
the wetland
expands
above the groundwater,
with peat acting
as a reservoir,
holding
water by
capillarity
above the level
of the main groundwater
mass (Moore
and
Bellamy,
1974).
According
to Richardson
(19811,
these evergreen
shrub bogs
comprise
more than 50 percent
of North Carolina's
freshwater
wetlands.
Typically,
these systems
cover thousands
of acres,
are isolated
from
and periodically
are subject
to fire.
Much of the
other water bodies,
pocosin
habitat
in North
Carolina
is gradually
being
lost
to timber
cutting
or drainage
with subsequent
agricultural
development.
In 1962,
for example,
pocosins
covered
more than 2.2 million
acres,
but by 1979,
only 695,000
acres remained
undisturbed.
Destruction
of pocosins
has
resulted
in changes of hydrologic
regime,
and nutrient

to other
aquatic
systems (Richardson,
1981).

The characteristics
of pocosin
fauna are less well understood
than those of the plant
community.
Wilbur
(1981) notes
that
pocosins
serve wildlife
species
two ways:
They are habitat
for endemic
species,
but also are refuge
for those species
which once ranged widely,
but now
are confined
because
of habitat
destruction.
Endemics
include

OPERATIONS,
ORDNANCE.. Because ordnance
operations
at Marine
Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune
are carefully
controlled,
there
is little
public
health
or environmental
concern
about past disposal
practices.
For <hat reason,
only an overview
of this
function
is presented.
Camp
Lejeune
was established
as a training
center
before
World War II and has
retained
this
characteristic
feature.
Numerous
activities,
from infantry
and tank training
to amphibious
operations,
require
substantial
amounts
of ordnance
each year.
No manufacturing
or load and pack operations
occur on the base.
All ordnance
is shipped
in and stored
on the
facility.
Types of ordnance
range from small
arms ammunition
to rockets,

No reports
of spills
or accidents
were discovered
during
this

There is evide'nce
that,
on a nonroutine,
irregular
basis,
some
ordnance
was buried
at the Camp Geiger
landfill
near the trailer
park
(Site
No. 41).
Reports
indicate
that some mortar
shells
were placed
in
dumpsters
and ultimately
taken
to the landfill.

apparently
blew up while

there.
This suggests
that
care be taken when drilling
or boring
at Site No. 41.
Because of the training
mission,
a substantial
amount of land
has been designated
as firing
ranges and impact
areas.
There are three
called
G-10, N-2, and K-2,
for high

There are two Explosive

A review of building
construction
has been used
to infer
history
and location
of waste generation
from aircraft
maintenance
activities.
Of existing
structures,
Building
AS 840 (built
in 1952) is ghe initial
aircraft
maintenance
hanger.
Square footage
availablg
for the aircraft
maintenance
area increased
tenfold
when Hangar
AS 504. was added 2 years later.
The addition
of Building
AS 515 in 1963
resulted
in a two-thirds
increase
in capacity.
In the late
196Os,
Hangars
AS 518, 4106, and 4108 were completed,
doubling
the size again.
Finally,
in 1975, Hangar 4100 was added,
which increased
capacity
about
10 percent.
Increases
in quantities
of waste products
are expected
to
parallel
facility
growth.
Wastes (except
POL) generated
on MCAS New River
are presently
collected
and prepared
for transfer
to DPDO for accounting.
Waste POL is
collected
by the Heavy Equipment
Unit
at Building

Creosote
Plant.
During
1951 and 1952, a saw mill

railroad
ties.
This
activity
was located
about 800 fee.t east of Building
613 (pump house and
Well No. 13), on the opposite
side of Holcomb
Boulevard
and the railroad
tracks.
Logs were cut into ties
which were then placed
in a chamber and
pressure-treated
with hot creosote.
Creosote
was used directly
from a
railroad
tank car.
Creosote
remaining
in the pressure
chamber at the end
of the treatment
cycle was saved for later
use.
There were no reports
of
any treosote
waste generation.
Oil-burning
boilers
provided
steam to
heat the creosote.
The ties were used to build
a railroad
from Camp Lejeune
to
Cherry Point,
North
Carolina.
Upon completion
of the railroad,
the mill
and plant
were sold and removed
from Camp Lejeune.
All that
remained
at

were concrete
pads and the boiler

An inspection
of the area did not reveal
any indication

Information
obtained
from various
sources -indicates
that some
type of chemical
warfare
training
has always been present
at Camp
Lejeune.
Information
has not been found to conclukively
indicate
whether
or not chemical
agents
were present
on-base.
Information
is also lacking
which conclusively
indicates
whether,
if present
in large
quantities,
these agents were present
in forms strictly
usable
as training
aids or as
stores
for chemical
warfare
use.
Supporting
the argument
of chemical
agent presence
is the fact
that,
in the early
195Os, adequate
storage
facilities
to maintain
a
supply
of chemical
agents
did exist
on-base.
One unconfirmed
report
of
phosgene vials
being
found on-base
and other
details
of eyewitness
observations
tend to add credibility
to this
supposition.
(These reports
will
be presented
later
in this
section.)
The argument
against
chemical
agent presence
is supported
by
the fact that,
historically,
the development
and storage
of chemical
agents
has been assigned
to the Army and Air Force with minimal
Marine
Corps involvement.
Also,
there
is only a small
probability
that domestic
or captured
chemical
agents
were returned
to Camp Lejeune
from overseas
war zones.
Most reported
observations
of "gas" disposal
are consistent
with training
agent disposal.
Training
agents were sometimes
spread as
solids
over areas used for training
exercises.
Disposal
of large
quantities
of these training
agents
(e.g.,
drums of wet material
that
would not disperse
properly)
would be consistent
with the Camp Lejeune
training
mission.
To summarize
the "chemical
agent presence
question,"

about this
site.
At least
one disposal
operation
took
place during
which 75 to 100 55-gallon
drums were buried.
A
crane was used to dig an oval hole about 70 feet by 90 feet
and deep enough to cut into
the groundwater
table.
The drum

were called
"gas" by the people
delivering
and
unloading
it but this
was not intended
to indicate

FOR GROUNDWATER MONITORING
A-l.1
Monitoring
Well Inventory.
Wells
that have been improperly
abandoned
or that have been out of service
for a long period
are
potential
conduits
for contamination
from the water table
aquifer
to
those deeper.
Many of the wells
at Camp Lejeune
have been abandoned
or
are no longer
in service,
but there
is not a complete
inventory
of the
location
or abandonment
procedure.
It is recommended
that the status
of wells
at the installation
..
be clarified
by determining
the location
of- all the wells
that have ever
been'drilled
at the base.
A comparison
of the complete
list
of wells
with the wells
now in use will
show those that have been abandoned
or
that
are out of service.
If these wells
are close to and downgradient
of
a confirmed
hazardous
waste site,
a further
assessment
of the wells'
status
should
be made.
This assessment
should
include
the reason for
abandonment
or nonuse,
the date when the well was last used, how it was
abandoned
(if
applicable),
future
plans for the well (if not yet
abandoned),
and a review
of any chemical/physical
data available.
