No DDE clean-up will be required as long as the property is used for industrial purposes. The surface scatter of asbestos building materials will be addressed during the property redevelopment.

Former Use: The Property consists of approximately 70 acres between Lexington and Langley Avenue, Babbitt, Mineral County, Nevada. The Mineral County Assessor�s Parcel Number(s) (APN) for the Property is: A portion 06-640-16.The Property consists of vacant land in the southwest portion of the historical Babbitt area. The Property is part of the former Babbitt Housing Area. The Property is relatively flat and covered with native vegetation. There are several old foundations located on the Property. Babbitt was constructed during World War II to provide housing for married civilian workers for the Naval Ammunition Plant, Hawthorne. During the period of 1940-1945, a total of 580 duplexes were constructed in the Babbitt area. There were 19 duplexes and 19 commercial buildings located on the Property. 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. By 1964, only 261 of the original 580 duplexes remained. In 1977, operation of Naval Ammunition Plant, Hawthorne, was transferred to the Department of the Army. In 1984, the Army Corps of Engineers began disposing of the remaining Babbitt housing units. Housing units were again sold and removed. The last occupant moved from Babbitt in June of 1987. Some of the buildings not suitable for sale were demolished this included the majority of the commercial buildings. The last buildings were removed in July, 1994. Each house had an underground storage tank used to store heating oil, was painted with lead base paint, and had asbestos containing building material. During the demolition work done in 1994 there was antidotal information that some building debris was buried.
