Standard Classification of Environmental Condition of Property Area Types for Defense Base Closure and Realignment Facilities

SCOPE
1.1 Purpose -The purpose of this classification is to define seven standard environmental condition of property area types for Department of Defense (DoD) real property at a closing military installation with respect to the requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 Section 120(h), as amended by the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) of 1992. As such, this classification is intended to permit a DoD component to classify property into seven area types, in order to facilitate and support findings of suitability to transfer (FOSTs), findings of suitability to lease (FOSLs), and uncontaminated parcel determinations pursuant to the requirements of CERFA. Users of this classification should note that it does not address (except where noted explicitly) requirements for appropriate and timely regulatory consultation or concurrence, or both, during the identification and use of these environmental condition of property area types.  
1.1.1 Seven Recognized Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Types -The goal of this classification is to permit DoD components to classify properties on closing DoD installations in order to support determinations of which properties are suitable and unsuitable for transfer by lease or by deed. The term "standard environmental condition of property area type" refers to one of the seven area types defined in this classification. An identification of an area type on an environmental condition of property map means that a DoD component has conducted sufficient studies to make a determination of the recognized environmental conditions of installation real property or has complied with the identification requirements of uncontaminated property under CERFA, or both, and has categorized the property into one of the following seven area types:
1.1.1.1 Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Type 1 -An area or parcel of real property where no storage, release, or disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives has occurred (including no migration of these substances from adjacent properties).  
1.1.1.2 Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Type 2 -An area or parcel of real property where only the storage of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives has occurred (but no release, disposal, or migration from adjacent properties has occurred).  
1.1.1.3 Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Type 3 -An area or parcel of real property where storage and release, release, disposal, or migration, or some combination thereof, of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives has occurred, but at concentrations that do not require a removal or remedial action.  
1.1.1.4 Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Type 4 -An area or parcel of real property where storage and release, release, disposal, or migration, or some combination thereof, of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives has occurred, and all remedial actions necessary to protect human health and the environment have been taken.  
1.1.1.5 Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Type 5 -An area or parcel of real property where storage and release, release, disposal, or migration, or some combination thereof, of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives has occurred and removal or remedial actions, or both, are under way, but all required actions have not yet been taken.  
1.1.1.6 Standard Environmental Condition of Property Area Type 6 -An area or parcel of real property where storage and release, release, disposal, or migration, or some combination thereof, of hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives has occurred, but required response actions have not yet been initiated.
