The Proposed Plans provide final remedy recommendations for 75 transformer sites at NCTAMSPAC, PHNC, NAVMAG PH Lualualei Branch, and Former NAS Barbers Point. Following environmental investigations and site cleanups, 59 of the transformer sites do not pose a threat to human health or the environment. Therefore, the Proposed Plans recommend that no further action is required for these sites. For the remaining 16 sites, the Propose Plan for Various Transformer Site Locations at NCTAMSPAC and PHNC recommends the implementation of Land Use Controls (LUC) for the protection of human health because contaminants were left in place with concentrations above established cleanup levels for unrestricted access. Five-year reviews will be conducted to confirm that the LUCs are being implemented effectively. (SB05523593 6/25/06)
