The scope of the removal action is limited to (1) asbestos abatement and demolition of the former Kingsley Firing Range Annex Guard Shack and asbestos abatement containing materials (ACM) at two former firing range concrete ammunition bunkers and (2) inspection of the two on-Site repositories. The building has two forms of ACM incorporated in the structure: Concrete Asbestos Board (CAB) siding and composite roofing material. The approximate concentration range of chrysotile observed in CAB and roofing material is 3 to 25 percent and 30 to 45 percent, respectively. With time and exposure to damaging mechanical forces and weather, the CAB and roofing material can continue to become friable thus releasing asbestos fibers to the environment.
Access to the former guard shack and the ammunition bunkers is unrestricted. The Guard Shack, which measures approximately 72 feet by 24 feet, is structurally unsound and in an advance state of deterioration. Two concrete ammunition bunkers are situated adjacent to the building one on the north side and one on the south side. Both measure 8’ by 8’ by 10’h and while structurally intact the roofs are in disrepair and shedding asbestos roofing material. The guard shack and the concrete ammunition bunkers are located at the northwest corner of the firing range near the entry gate along Cougar Butte Road. At both the guard shack and the bunkers, there is evidence of trespass and vandalism such as empty beer containers, broken windows, siding and graffiti. Neighbors complain that it attracts teenager and undesirables late at night all of whom are potentially being exposed to asbestos.
