Designation:D574698(Reapproved 2010)Standard Classification ofEnvironmental Condition of Property Area Types forDefense Base Closure and Realignment Facilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5746;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 PurposeThe purpose of this classification is to defineseven standard environmental condition of property area typesfor Department of Defense(DoD)real property at a closingmilitary installation with respect to the requirements of theComprehensive Environmental Response,Compensation andLiability Act(CERCLA)of 1980 Section 120(h),as amendedby the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act(CERFA)of 1992,and Section 331 of the National DefenseAuthorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997.As such,this classifi-cation is intended to permit a DoD component to classifyproperty into seven area types,in order to facilitate and supportfindings of suitability to transfer(FOSTs),findings of suitabil-ity to lease(FOSLs),and uncontaminated parcel determina-tions pursuant to the requirements of CERFA.Users of thisclassification should note that it does not address(exceptwhere noted explicitly)requirements for appropriate andtimely regulatory consultation or concurrence,or both,duringthe identification and use of these environmental condition ofproperty area types.1.1.1 Seven Recognized Standard Environmental Conditionof Property Area TypesThe goal of this classification is topermit DoD components to classify properties on closing DoDinstallations in order to support determinations of whichproperties are suitable and unsuitable for transfer by lease or bydeed.The term“standard environmental condition of propertyarea type”refers to one of the seven area types defined in thisclassification.An identification of an area type on an environ-mental condition of property map means that a DoD compo-nent has conducted sufficient studies to make a determinationof the recognized environmental conditions of installation realproperty or has complied with the identification requirementsof uncontaminated property under CERFA,or both,and hascategorized the property into one of the following seven areatypes:1.1.1.1 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 1An area or parcel of real property where no release,ordisposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products or theirderivatives has occurred(including no migration of thesesubstances from adjacent properties).1.1.1.2 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 2An area or parcel of real property where only therelease or disposal of petroleum products or their derivativeshas occurred.1.1.1.3 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 3An area or parcel of real property where release,disposal,or migration,or some combination thereof,of haz-ardous substances has occurred,but at concentrations that donot require a removal or remedial action.1.1.1.4 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 4An area or parcel of real property where release,disposal,or migration,or some combination thereof,of haz-ardous substances has occurred,and all remedial actionsnecessary to protect human health and the environment havebeen taken.1.1.1.5 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 5An area or parcel of real property where release,disposal,or migration,or some combination thereof,of haz-ardous substances has occurred and removal or remedialactions,or both,are under way,but all required actions havenot yet been taken.1.1.1.6 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 6An area or parcel of real property where release,disposal,or migration,or some combination thereof,of haz-ardous substances has occurred,but required response actionshave not yet been initiated.1.1.1.7 Standard Environmental Condition of Property AreaType 7An area or parcel of real property that is unevaluatedor requires additional evaluation.1.1.2 CERCLA Section 120(h)RequirementsThis classifi-cation of environmental condition of property area types isconsistent with CERCLA 120(h)requirements relating to thetransfer of contaminated federal real property(42 USC 9601and following).Areas classified as Area Types 1 through 4,asdefined in this classification,are suitable,with respect toCERCLA 120(h)requirements,for deed transfer to a non-federal recipient.1This classification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E50 onEnvironmental Assessment,Risk Management and Corrective Action and is thedirect responsibility of Subcommittee E50.02 on Real Estate Assessment andManagement.Current edition approved April 1,2010.Published May 2010.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2002 D5746-95.DOI:10.1520/D5746-98R10.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr H
