Document Description
DTSC is making a determination that corrective action has been completed for approximately 62,000 +/- acres of property at Sierra Army Depot (SIAD). These parcels were subject to corrective action requirements of the California Hazardous Waste Control Law and the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) because they were part of the property at SIAD which is an inactive RCRA hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The RCRA corrective action requirements for the transferred parcels have been completed through investigation and cleanup actions overseen by DTSC and the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Lahontan Region (RWQCB) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA); and by underground/aboveground storage tank investigation and cleanup actions overseen by the RWQCB and Lassen County Environmental Health Department.
This RCRA corrective action complete determination allows the United States Army (U.S. Army) to transfer these identified parcels to new owners without transferring the associated RCRA corrective action liability. The U.S. Army will retain the remainder of SIAD at this time where closure and corrective action have not been completed.

Type, Section or Code
Section 15061 (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
1. The project does not involve any physical activities at the remainder of SIAD. The project is an administrative decision by DTSC that previously completed investigations and cleanup activities conducted under the regulatory oversight of DTSC, the RWQCB, and the Lassen County Environmental Health Department, on the property identified in the Finding(s) of Suitability to Transfer (FOSTs) and "Environmental Condition of Property" documents as described in this NOE have satisfied the corrective action requirements under RCRA and California Hazardous Waste Control Law. The boundary defining the SIAD hazardous waste facility is being RCRA and California Hazardous Waste Control Law. The boundary defining the SIAD hazardous waste facility is being modified to exclude the transferred property. No offsite impacts will occur as a result of moving the facility boundaries.
2. The entire SIAD installation is listed on the Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List and on the Cortese List. However, for the transferred parcels, all environmental studies and remedial action under CERCLA necessary to protect human health and the environment with respect to hazardous substances remaining on the property have been taken. On this basis, DTSC finds that RCRA corrective action is complete for these stated parcels.
