Title of Event: Radiological Cleanup at SD290 Old Magpie Creek, Former McClellan AFB, CA Industry Day

When: 16 November 2022, 0900 1600

Where: Lionsgate Hotel and Restaurant, 3410 Westover St., McClellan CA.

Abstract: The Old Magpie Creek Channel (OMCC) is a former creek bed, now buried beneath about 12 feet of clean fill. The site is in the western portion of McClellan AFB, south of the current Magpie Creek channel, in the vicinity of B690 and MAT K (also referred to as the Sun Gro Lot). It forms a V-shape which intersects the current Magpie Creek east of B690, runs southwest beneath B690 to about the middle of MAT K, and then runs northwest until it intersects Magpie Creek again. The site is approximately 1,500 feet long, about 30 feet wide, about 12 feet below ground surface (bgs), and the contaminated layer is about 2 feet thick. The creek bed was contaminated with radium-226 and other contaminants. Since radioactive contamination is present, the Air Force Radioisotope Committee (RIC) added the site to the McClellan AFB Multi-Sites Radioactive Materials Permit. A contaminated layer of dark soil approximately 18 inches thick exists at about 12 feet bgs. Soil above this layer and the hard pan beneath it are uncontaminated. This dark layer is probably sediment from the old creek channel and is being used as a marker for the creek channel. The objective of this requirement is to: (1) ensure all soil contaminated with radium-226 greater than 2.0 picoCuries per gram has been excavated and disposed of in accordance with the Follow-on Strategic Sites (FoSS) Record of Decision (ROD), (2) a radiological final status survey has been completed in accordance with the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) and a final status survey report has been completed and accepted by regulatory agencies, (3) the grade, surfacing, utilities, and infrastructure at the site have been restored to their pre-remediation conditions, (4) a Remedial Action Completion Report (RACR) has been prepared and accepted by the regulatory agencies, (5) the Air Force Radioisotope Committee (RIC) has removed OMCC from the McClellan AFB Multi-Sites Radioactive Materials Permit, and (6) the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has recommended the site for unrestricted radiological release.

Who Should Attend? Vendors capable of performing radiological excavation within the OMCC and under building 690 or are capable to assemble a team able to complete the work.

Questions for Industry: Responses due 9 November 2022 @ 5:00pm CST to ALL Government POCs listed below.
