to prepare an area for the relocation of the Roy Gate. An area within 
the new Falcon Hill development project will have contaminated soil and 
construction debris removed from a former disposal area so that site 
conditions allow for gate construction and a safe working environment 
for those building the new gate.

The area, known as Operable Unit 12 Source Area or Aspen Avenue Disposal 
Area, is located between Aspen Avenue and Wardleigh Road and south of 
the current location of Roy Gate. This site was once used as a disposal 
area before stricter disposal standards were mandated by law and, 
consequently, contaminates -- primarily the solvent trichloroethylene -- 
disposed at the site have leaked into the ground. In a two-pronged 
effort to remove contaminates that may create an unsafe work area or 
source to the groundwater while leaving the site ready for gate 
construction, the Hill Air Force Base Environment Management Division 
has teamed with the Enhanced Use Lease group to develop project 
objectives that meet the goals of both groups.
