Installation Restoration Program (IRP), Phase II, Stage 1 - Problem Confirmation Study, Norton Air Force Base, San Bernardino, California. Volume 1. Technical Report


Book Description

Fifteen sites of potential environmental concern, grouped into six waste management zones, were evaluated. A total of 22 monitor wells were installed and groundwater samples were obtained from each well. Soil samples were obtained for chemical analysis from 12 soil borings. Samples of surface water, bottom sediments and fish tissues were obtained from three ponds. All chemical analyses were accomplished in accordance with Standard USEPA analytical methods. Based on the sampling and analyses performed, levels of contamination were found in soils or groundwater at seven of the 15 sites evaluated which warrant further investigation and potential remedial actions. Recommendations were made as to appropriate follow-up site evaluation work at these seven sites.




Installation Restoration Program. Phase 2. Confirmation/Quantification. Stage 1 for United States Air Force Plant Number 59, Johnson City, New York. Appendices


Book Description

The overall objective of the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) Phase II investigation is to assess potential contamination at past hazardous waste disposal and spill sites on Air Force installations. A series of staged field investigations may be required to meet this objective. The intention of this staged investigation is to undertake a field and laboratory study at Air Force plant 59, Johnson City NY: (1) to confirm the presence or absence of contamination with in the specified areas of investigation; (2) if possible, to determine the extent and degree of contamination and the potential for migration of those contaminants in the various environmental media; (3) to identify public health and environmental hazards of migrating pollutants based on State or Federal standards for those contaminants; and (4) to delineate additional investigations required beyond this stage to reach the Phase II objectives. The Phase I IRP Report (mailed under separate cover) incorporate the background and description of the sites/zones for this task. Keywords: Hazardous materials wastes, Environmental protection. (MJM).
