General Area: Pine Bluff, AR Site Type/Program: RCWM sites (Non-stockpile) Location: Pine Bluff Arsenal is located eight miles northeast of Pine Bluff in Jefferson County. Brief History: Between 1942 and 1943, mustard and lewisite were manufactured within 95 acres of Pine Bluff Arsenal property. Portions of the area were later leased to private industry for production of DDT and its intermediates; DDT was manufactured between 1948 and 1957. Malathion, parathion, and chlorobenzenes were brought to Pine Bluff Arsenal to be blended into pesticide products, but they were not manufactured on the site. In 1969, another private company manufactured and stored chlorine in the main industrial area. |

Range / Site Description: The 95 acre site overlaps several solid waste management units (SWMUs) including SWMUs 18,23,24,29, and 75. Initial remediation efforts within this area were
begun in 1975, with the containment and encapsulation of DDT wastes. As the cleanup continued, surface features were modified in 1984 by an FY83 Military Construction, Army project for runoff control. The final phase of the extensive remediation effort was completed in 1986, when the numerous buildings, underlying foundations and soil, and industrial sewer lines were removed from the area and disposed of at an onsite, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act-permitted hazardous waste landfill. Associated Munitions: Chemical warfare agent including mustard and lewisite. Activities Completed: Remediation completed for DDT and other contaminants in 1986. Issues: No further action planned. Other Information: No further action planned for CWA. |
