The U.S. Army Garrison at Redstone Arsenal is proposing to implement corrective measures at RSA-028, In-Ground Oil/Water Separator, 5693 Area, Operable Unit 10, and RSA-E, No. 2 Fuel Oil Spill, Tank 5693 at the Fuel Farm, Operable Unit 06, located on 28 acres in the eastern-central portion of Redstone Arsenal. RSA-028 was a bulk fuel farm that housed aboveground storage tanks, oil/water separators, and fuel transfer stations that began operation in the early 1940s. Periodic spills and leaks occurred during its operation. RSA-E was established as a site when 58,584 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil were inadvertently released from a tank located in the southern portion of RSA-028 in 1985. Fuel recovery efforts minimized the amount of fuel that drained into the environment.
