Installation Restoration Program. Phase II--Confirmation/Quantification. Stage 1.
Abstract
Phase II, Stage I Installation Restoration Program (IRP) hazardous material disposal sites at Robins Air Force Base (AFB) included three landfills, two fire training areas, one industrial waste sludge lagoon, one DDT spill site, one hazardous waste burial site, one JP-4 spill site, i.e., nine of the 13 sites identified by the Phase I study. Since several of the sites were colocated, the IRP study sites were redefined as six zones; consequently four zones include pairs of sites. Water supply wells WS-3, WS-6, and WS-8 were included in the Phase II, Stage 1 study as a means of checking deeper groundwater quality. The sampling and analysis plan for the Robins AFB Phase II, Stage 1 study was based upon the suspected wastes reported for each zone. Implementation of the sampling and anaylsis plan involved installation of 25 new monitor wells. Pit casings were used to seal zones of contamination if wells penetrated an underlying confining bed. Sample collection (groundwater, surface water, lechate, sediment, and soil) followed the well installation phase of the work. Chemical analyses included pH, specific conductance, total organic halides (TOX), dissolved total organic carbon (DOC), purgeable organics, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), total phenolics, cyanide, heavy metals, oil and grease, and organic priority pollutants according to the schedule shown. These analyses detected significant or potentially significant contamination in Zones 1 through 5.
