Installation Restoration Program. Phase I - Records Search AAC-Southern Region, King Salmon AFS, Cape Newenham AFS, Cape Romanzof AFS, Cold Bay AFS, Sparrevohn AFS, and Tatalina AFS,

Abstract

This report identified and evaluated several potentially hazardous waste disposal sites at King Salmon AFS, Cape Newenham AFS, Cape Romanzof AFS, Sparrevohn AFS and Tatalina AFS. 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 ro effectively receiving the wastes was evaluated including soils, geology, ground water and surface water. A total of 55 sites were found to have sufficient potential to create environmental contamination and follow-on investigations (Pase II) were recommended and outlined. The sites requiring further action include landfills, dump areas, spill and leak areas, fire protection training areas, communication areas, road oiling areas and waste accumulation areas. (Author)
