Installation Restoration Program. Phase I. Records Search, Plattsburgh AFB, New York

Abstract

This report identified and evaluated several potentially hazardous waste disposal sites at Plattsburg AFB. Records of past waste handling and disposal practices 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, groundwater and surface water. Nine fuel and/or solvent spills, a fire training area, a landfill, and two storage areas were found to have potential to create environmental contamination and follow-on investigations (Phase II) were recommended and outlined. Originator-supplied keywords: Installation Restoration Program, Hazardous Waste Management, Past Solid Waste Disposal Sites, Groundwater Contamination.
