Fort Bragg Mill Site – Remediation
The State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is the lead agency with oversight of Mill Site Remediation.
The Mill Site is cleaned up, i.e., has been fully remediated, except for Operable Unit E (OU-E (the Mill Pond and associated wetland area).
As part of remediation land use covenants will restrict future uses in certain portions of Mill Site. These include:
Soil and Soil Vapor Restricted Areas (in vicinity of Skunk Train depot; south of Mill Pond).
Groundwater Restricted Areas (NW of Skunk Train depot; north of Cypress/west of north-south access road; southwest of Mill Pond) Soil Restricted Area (southeast of Mill Pond)
Next Step for OU-E Remediation is the completion of the OU-E Feasibility Study Addendum Subsequent implementation steps will include:
Prepare CEQA document
Complete OU-E Remedial Action Plan (RAP)
Permitting and Implementation of OU-E RAP
The community proposed ‘daylighting’ Maple Creek and Alder Creek on Mill Site that currently discharge to ocean through Mill Pond may lead to additional mitigation or remediation efforts.
