Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) Report, Lexington-Bluegrass Army Depot, Fayette County, Kentucky

This report presents the results of the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) investigation at Lexington-Bluegrass Army Depot, a U.S. Government property selected for closure by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission. Federal agencies are required to identify real property that can be immediately reused and redeveloped. Satisfying this objective requires the identification of real property where no hazardous substances or petroleum products, regulated by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), were stored for one year or more, known to have been released, or disposed. Lexington-Bluegrass Army Depot is a 774-acre site (more or less) located in Fayette and Bourbon Counties, Kentucky, approximately 10 miles east of Lexington, Kentucky. The installation's primary mission is to provide storage and overhaul of vital communications equipment. Activities associated with the property that have environmental significance are electroplating, stripping, cleaning and coating of equipment, photographic processing, vehicle maintenance, printing, and fuel storage. TETC reviewed existing investigation documents; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), State, and county regulatory records; environmental data bases; and title documents pertaining to Lexington-Bluegrass Army Depot during this investigation. In addition, TETC (The Earth Technology Corp.) conducted interviews and visual inspections of Lexington-Bluegrass Army Depot as well as visual inspections and data base searches for the surrounding properties. Information in this CERFA Report was current as of April 1994. This information was used to divide the installation into four categories of parcels: CERFA Parcels, CERFA Parcels with Qualifiers, CERFA Disqualified Parcels, and CERFA-Excluded Parcels, as defined by the Army.
