Property Highlights

Former Use: The former Dodd/Beals Fire Fighting Academy was located on 77 acres of land donated to the University of Nevada, Reno by the Stead Air Force Base and was operated from the early seventies until the mid-nineties. The site is located at the intersection of Military Road and Echo Avenue. Of the 77 acres, approximately 42 acres were used for administrative buildings and fire fighting training; within the 42 acres, only certain portions of the land were used for active fire fighting training facilities. As part of historical fire fighting training, mock facilities were set afire using diesel fuel, with some gasoline as an igniter. The fires were extinguished with water and foam. The fires were extinguished with water and foam. The mocks were placed on concrete pads such that the water utilized could be captured and conveyed to retention ponds and re-circulated. The mocks were placed on concrete pads such that the water utilized could be captured and conveyed to retention ponds and re-circulated. As a result of historic site activities, soil and groundwater have been impacted with petroleum hydrocarbons. Assessments have been completed which clearly define the extent and makeup of the contaminated areas. Soils have been impacted mainly due to leaching from the retention ponds; some surficial impacts can also be attributed to overspray from the concrete mock pads. Groundwater impacts were also a result of leaching from the retention ponds. A wide range of hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents were sampled for during the assessment. Contaminants found are predominantly diesel range hydrocarbons with some lighter gasoline additives. Contaminants discovered in the groundwater include benzene and MTBE.
