Installation Restoration Program. Phase II. Problem Confirmation Study, Westover AFB, Chicopee, Massachusetts.
Abstract
In 1976 the Department of Defense (DoD) devised a comprehensive Installation Restoration Program (IRP). The purpose of the IRP is to assess and control both potential and actual migration of environmental contamination that may have resulted from past operations and disposal practices on DoD facilities. In response to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) and in anticipation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or 'Superfund'), the DoD issued a Defense Environmental Quality Program Policy Memorandum (DEQPPM) dated June, 1980 (DEQPPM 80-6), requiring identification of past hazardous waste disposal sites on DoD agency installations. The Installation Restoration Program has been developed as a four-phase program as follows: Phase I: Problem Identification/Records Search; Phase II: Problem Confirmation and Quantification; Phase III; Technology Base Development; Phase IV: Corrective Action. Only the Phase II Problem Confirmation portion of the IRP effort at Westover Air Force Base was part of this Task Order.
