The Site is divided into six operable units (OUs). The 1989 ROD selected remedies to address the first four operable units, and several parts of the cleanup work specified in the ROD have already been completed. The remedy was revised by two Explanations of Significant Differences (ESDs), issued in 1997 and 2001.
