Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The Property consists of vacant land in the northwest of the historical Babbitt area. The Property is approximately 20 acres surrounded by Lexington Avenue, Saratoga Avenue, Yorktown Avenue, 10th Street, and 20th Street. The Property is part of the former Babbitt Housing Area. Babbitt was constructed during World War II to provide housing for married civilian workers for the Naval Ammunition Plant, Hawthorne. The Property was developed for residential use. There was a community garden and an elm tree windbreak located on the Property. According to the "Environmental Assessment for the Transfer of Ownership of the Babbitt Housing Area Portion of the Hawthorne Army Depot" DDT may have been used in the area to control elm beetles and other pesticides to include organophosphates may have been used in the garden area of Babbitt in the 1950s. According to the "Preliminary Assessment Screening No. 38-EH-5034-97, Babbitt Housing Area, Hawthorne Army Depot, Hawthorne, Nevada" dated June, 1996, there were electrical transformers in the Babbitt area that contained PCBs. These transformers were removed between 1992 to 1994, however, no soil sampling was conducted at that time. There is evidence that some of these transformers were located on the Property. During the period of 1940-1945, a total of 580 duplexes were constructed in the Babbitt area, 9 of those duplexes were located on the Property, as well as a frozen food locker. At the conclusion of the Korean Conflict, the Navy began disposing of whole blocks of vacant Babbitt housing units by selling the houses. The new owners were required to remove the structures from the site. The last occupant moved from Babbitt in June of 1987.
