Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons were detected in surface soil samples near the incinerator cleanout. Aroclor-1254 was detected in surface and subsurface soil samples near the chemical waste clarifier. Groundwater below the intermediate saturated zone is believed to be uncontaminated by DoD site activities, based on groundwater results from a deep monitoring well. It is assumed there were two sources: a PCE source to the north around the powerhouse area and a TCE source near the former building foundation area. Problem and Response : Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are the primary contaminants in groundwater and are limited to the shallow saturated zone encountered mostly within the fenced area of the underground facility. ARA is also to be held fully responsible for the cleanup, disposal, and disposition of any and all hazardous materials. ARA performed various types of field testing, including shock physics and explosive characterization, to prove its hypotheses. Most of the work ARA conducted at Complex 1C was on behalf of the DoD and aerospace companies. (ARA) entered into a lease in March 1988 for the purposes of storing, assembling, manufacturing, and testing explosive devices. The vast majority of Falcon’s research projects at Complex 1C involved explosive tests.įalcon conducted all operations on the surface of the site, with the exception of one period when a small area of the underground missile complex was used for a few months to conduct ballistic impact testing. Falcon’s contracts included the Army, Navy, Air Force, and other defense agencies. Falcon’s entire business involved performing research and engineering projects on behalf of the federal government with virtually all of the work conducted for the DoD.
Several leases and a commercial agreement to buy and sell real estate have been in place.įalcon Research & Development Company (Falcon) leased the site property in March 1969.
In March 1966, the Mid-Continent Construction Company of Salt Lake City, Utah, was to begin dismantling the Lowry AFB Titan Missile silos ending sometime before February 1967. The site was declared excess by the Department of Defense to the General Services Administration in August 1965. Location and Description: The former Lowry Air Force Base Titan I Missile Site 1, Complex 1C is located 14 miles east of Aurora, Colorado in Arapahoe County and consists of 211 acres.
