Installation Restoration Program. Phase I. Records Search, Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota

Abstract

This report identified and evaluated several potentially hazardous waste disposal sites at Ellsworth 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 was evaluated including soils, geology, past ground water and surface water. A fire protection training area, six landfills, an underground tank leak (Auto Hobby Shop). Three past coolant spills, an EOD pramitol spill, three fuel leaks/spills and a low-level radioactive burial site were found to have sufficient potential to create environmental contamination and follow-on investigations (Phase 2) were recommended and outlined.
