sacramento army depot

8350 FRUITRIDGE RD

The 485-acre Sacramento Army Depot, established in 1945, was a supply depot primarily responsible for the receipt, storage, issuance, maintenance, and disposal of electronics supplies. Wastes from metal-plating operations, spray booth operations, and degreasing operations were discharged to unlined sewage lagoons, burned, or buried on site. These practices resulted in the contamination of some on-site soils at the former Oxidation Lagoons and Burn Pits and other areas, as well as the groundwater beneath the site. Soil contamination also was shown in drainage ditches leading to the Old Morrison Creek. Approximately 50,000 people live within three miles of the site. Morrison Creek flows around the southern boundaries of Sacramento Army Depot. The groundwater contamination at the site is in both the shallow and intermediate water-bearing zones and has migrated off site. The Depot has been closed and property transferred.
