Installation Restoration Program. Phase I. Records Search for the 341st Strategic Missile Wing, Malmstrom AFB, Montana.
Abstract
A search of USAF, state and federal agency records and interviews with past and present base personnel and agency representatives was conducted to identify past hazardous waste generation and disposal practice at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. The AFB is located 5 miles east of Great Falls, Montana on a flat plateau above the Missouri River. Three off-base sites were also reviewed which included a recreation area and radar and other communication support facilities. Six activities were identified as potential hazardous waste generators. Numerical ranking of 20 sites was warranted based upon potential for contaminant release and environmental degradation. Petroleum storage, waste disposal and spills account for the most frequent and severe problems. Follow-on recommendations include site cleanup and closure, confirmation studies in the vicinity of past spill sites, and enhanced protection of local surface waters.
