Installation Restoration Program. Phase 1. Records Search 15th ABW Satellite Installations, Hawaii

Abstract

This report identified and evaluated potentially hazardous waste disposal sites at several 15th ABW satellites sites in Hawaii including Bellows AFS, Kaena Point STS, Punamano AFS, Kokee AFS and the Hickman POL storage facilities (Waikakalaua and Kipapa) and pipeline to Hickman AFB. Records of past waste handling nd disposal practices at the facilities were reviewed. Interviews with past and present installation employees were conducted to develop a history of waste disposal practices. The environmental setting for effectively receiving the wastes was evaluated including soils, geology, ground water and surface water. A landfill at Bellows AFS, the Waikakalaua and Kipapa POL Storage sites, and ten POL pipelines leak areas were found to have potential to create environmental contamination and follow-on investigations (Phase 2) were recommended and outlined. Other disposal areas at Bellows AFS, Kaena Point STS, Punamano AFS and Kokee AFS were found to have minimal potential to create environmental contamination.
