Installation Restoration Program. Phase I. Records Search. Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

Abstract

The 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 practices at Vandenberg AFB, California. The AFB is located on the south central California coast, approximately 140 miles northwest of Los Angeles, 275 miles south of San Francisco, and 55 miles northwest of Santa Barbara. Eighteen sites were identified as having the potential for environmental contamination and have been evaluated using the HARM system. Follow-on recommendations include site clean-up and closure, confirmation studies in the vicinity of past spill sites, and enhanced protection of local surface waters. Keywords: Installation Restoration program, IRP Phase I/Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology, Vandenburg AFB/Harm.
