Munitions Manufacturing Facility Site Phase I and II ESA and Remediation Oversight - City of Santa Clarita Rincon Consultants completed Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments and Remediation Oversight at the 20-acre former munitions manufacturing site in the City of Santa Clarita. The City was interested in purchasing the site for the development of a youth community center. However, the site formerly manufactured shot gun cartridges. The shot gun cartridge manufacturer buried much of its imperfect cartridges onsite and so extremely high levels of lead and live ammunition were found onsite. The environmental assessment included research regarding historical site operations, preparation of a workplan, and sampling at select locations. One of the key site issues was the former manufacture of shotgun shells, which included the burial of shells and lead pellets. Rincon provided consultation and oversight for the removal of the buried munitions.
