Final FSP Areas 12 and 13
A.11 Area 12 and 13 Field Sampling Plan
A.11.1 Background and Focal Area(s)
Areas 12 and 13 are both Demolition Areas, which are restricted access areas indicated on Figures
A.l1-1 andA.l1-2. Area 12 is Demo Area 1, located north ofForestdale Road as indicated in Figure
A.l 1-3. Approximately two acres within Demo Area 1, which lie in the topographic low in the
center ofthe area, have been used for demolition activities inthe past. The low area is relatively flat
and clear ofvegetation. There are visual signs ofdemolition activity consisting ofsmall craters in
this area. The flat, cratered, 1-acre area is a focal area. The remainder ofDemo Area 1 is densely
vegetated and appears undisturbed.
Area 13 is Demo Area2, located north ofGibbs Road as indicated in Figure A.l 1-4. Approximately
15 acres within Demo Area2 appearto have been used for demolition activities at some point in the
past based on clearing ofvegetation. The 15-acre area consists ofthe valley in the center ofthe area
and the hill leading from the valley to the bunkeronthe eastern boundary ofDemo Area 2. This hill
was graded during engineering work performed on the bunker within the last 6 months, and it is
unvegetated. There is evidence of recent demolition activity on this hill consisting of four
demolition craters. These craters are a focal area ofless than 0.1 acre. The northern portion ofthe
valley is clear ofmost vegetation and has visual signs ofdemolition activity consisting ofdemolition
craters and debris. This portion ofthe valley is a focal area ofapproximately 3 acres. To the west
ofthis areathe valley is revegetated withtrees but has minimal undergrowth and shows signs ofpast
use in the form ofscattered debris and few craters. This portion ofthe valley is a focal area of
approximately 2 acres. The remainder of Demo Area 2 is covered with tall trees and dense
undergrowth and appears undisturbed.

A.11.2 Sampling Analysis Methods
Areas 12 and 13 sampling will include surface soil at each focal area. Areas 12 and 13 sampling will
also include subsurface soil and groundwaterbased on the potential for contaminants to migrate into
deeper soils or groundwater.
MMR
Sample collection will be consistent with SOPs, the Ogden Health and Safety Guidelines,
