HWAAP-H02
WASTE LUMBER OPEN BURN PIT

SITE DESCRIPTION
This site is not in DSERTS. HWAAP-H02 are comprised of two unlined v-shaped open trenches in the salvage yard next to PDO. One measures 250 by 30 feet and 20 feet deep. The installation burns unsaleable non-PCP treated wood, scrap wire, and other products in the trench. The fire department uses the burn site for training. The wood scraps are ignited with fuel oil products. The site has been in service since 1970.

PROPOSED PLAN
Further investigation of the site will occur in FY2011.
