Download or read book Camp Roberts written by California Center for Military History and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-07 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camp Roberts, in the Salinas Valley, is one of Californias largest military training camps. Named for a heroic World War I tank driver, it took the threat of global war in 1940 to kick-start its construction. Soon Camp Roberts had a capacity to house and train 23,000 men. During the war, almost half a million men trained here. Row upon row of wooden buildings, replete with churches, stores, a hospital, and an amphitheater where A-list stars performed, made it a mobilized city of 45,000 at its peak. In 1946, it became a ghost town overnight. Revived during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, it passed into National Guard control in 1971. However, all branches of the military continue to train here, and the camp has renewed relevance for troops bound for the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of a Preliminary Assessment (PA), conducted by Environmental Resources Management, Inc. (ERM), of Camp Roberts, a California Army National Guard (CA ARNG) installation. This PA was conducted to characterize the site accurately and determine the need for further action. This PA satisfies the requirements of the U.S. Army Installation Restoration Program (lRP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Guidance for Performing Preliminary Assessments Under CERCLA, dated September 1991. Camp Roberts is a 42,363 acre active CA ARNG training installation located in San Luis Obispo and Monterey counties, California, used for training military units from the western United States. This PA identified fifteen (15) environmentally significant operations (ESOs); i.e., sites identified as known or potential sources of CERCLA contaminant releases. There are numerous known and suspected petroleum releases believed to have been relatively minor and most probably covered by the CERCLA petroleum exclusion. Site investigations to identify and characterize possible CERCLA releases, and to determine the need, if any, for remedial action, should be conducted at the following areas: Engineering Yard; Ranges Y39 and M40; UDLP buried drum area and Ranges 5, 12 and 18. Immediate corrective action must be taken regarding the open storage of PCB transformers.
