The Sierra Nevada mountains <br /> are to the east and the Diablo range to the west. Areas surrounding the depot are and have <br /> been primarily agricultural: orchards, pasture lands, and scattered rural residential land. <br /> Figure 2 shows the location of DDRW-Tracy. <br /> The depot began operating in 1942 as a subdepot. In 1963, it was renamed Defense Depot <br /> Tracy California (DDTC), and, in 1990, was again renamed, this time as the Defense <br /> Distribution Region West (DDRW) Tracy. <br /> At present, the depot stores and distributes food, medical supplies, construction materials, <br /> clothing, and electrical, industrial, and general supplies common to military services located <br /> within the western U.S. and throughout the Pacific overseas area. Much of the depot's area <br /> is occupied by 26 large warehouses. There are approximately 75 acres of open storage area <br /> at the depot. These areas were used in the past to store 55-gallon drums of solvents <br /> (including trichloroethene [TCE] and tetrachloroethene [PCE]), petroleum products, and <br /> antifreeze, as well as compressed gas cylinders, drums, pallets, and steel products. Industrial <br /> activities currently occupy approximately 28 acres of the depot property. Included within <br /> these 28 acres are the vehicle, railroad, carpentry, and medical equipment maintenance <br /> facilities and the surrounding service areas. <br /> Q:�9000C3.1(90380C�5 5 M1007921606 <br />
