PUBLIC NOTICE The United States Navy Announces the Third Five-Year Review Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant Bedford, Massachusetts The United States Navy (Navy), in coordination with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, has completed the Third Five-Year Review (FYR) for the former Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant (NWIRP) Bedford in Bedford, Massachusetts. A FYR Report has been prepared by the Navy as part of the Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), following applicable U.S. EPA guidelines under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Navy and CERCLA guidelines call for this review every five years to determine whether remedies selected at ERP sites where contaminants remain at levels above those that would allow for unrestricted use and unlimited exposure are effectively protecting human health and the environment. NWIRP Bedford ERP sites included in this FYR are Site 3 (Northern Chlorinated Solvent Groundwater Plume) and Site 4 (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene Plume); a third site known as the Southern Flight Test Area (Southern Chlorinated Solvent Groundwater Plume), administratively added to Site 3, has been included in the FYR. The selected remedies detailed in decision documents include groundwater extraction and treatment, long-term groundwater monitoring, and land use controls. The Third FYR Report, has been made available to the public at the following Information Repository website that the Navy maintains for the NWIRP Bedford Restoration Advisory Board and the Administrative Record, which contains data and documentation supporting past site decisions regarding the Navy's ERP cleanup at NWIRP Bedford: https://www.navfac.navy.mil/Divisions/Environmental/Products-and-Services/Environmental-Restoration/Mid-Atlantic/Bedford-NWIRP/Administrative-Record/. The Third FYR Report will also be available in hardcopy for public review at the following repository: Bedford Public Library, 7 Mudge Way, Bedford, Massachusetts.
