Installation Restoration Program. Phase 1: Records Search, Sheppard AFB, Texas

Abstract

During the course of this project, interviews were conducted with base personnel (past and present) familiar with past waste disposal practices; file searches were performed for past hazardous waste activities; interviews were held with local, state, and federal agencies; and field and aerial surveys were conducted at suspected past hazardous waste activity sites. Eleven sites on Sheppard AFB were identified as potentially containing hazardous contaminants and having the potential for contaminant migration resulting from past activities. These sites have been assessed using a Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM) which takes into account factors such as site characteristics, waste characteristics, potential for contaminant migration, and waste management practices. The rating system is designed to indicate the relative need for follow-on investigation. The sites have also been reviewed with regard to future land use restrictions.
