The Sacramento Army Depot (SAAD) was a {{convert|485|acre|km2|sing=on}} facility located within current city limits, {{Convert|7|mi}} southeast of downtown Sacramento, California, in Sacramento County. SAAD was activated in 1941. It served as a repair facility for electronic equipment, such as night vision goggles, electronic circuit boards, and radium-dial instrumentation. The depot was deactivated after the findings of the 1988 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The depot officially closed on March 3, 1995.{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/sacramento.htm |title=Sacramento Army Depot |publisher=GlobalSecurity.org |access-date=April 26, 2010}} On July 22, 1987, the depot was added to the National Priorities List as a Superfund site.{{cite web |url=http://cfpub.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0902715 |title=Sacramento Army Depot Superfund site progress profile |publisher=U.S. Environmental Protection Agency |access-date=April 26, 2010}}
