Installation Restoration Program. Phase II. Confirmation/Quantification. Stage 1 for Carswell AFB, Texas. Volume 1.
Abstract
The purpose of the Phase II Stage 1 investigation was to determine if environmental contamination has resulted from waste disposal practices at Carswell AFB. In addition, the investigation included an estimate of the magnitude and extent of contamination, identification of environmental consequences of migrating pollutants, and recommendation of additional investigations to identify the magnitude, extent and direction of movement of discovered contaminants. Phase II (Stage 1) work at Carswell AFB focused on eleven sites and the Weapons Storage Area west of the base. These sites are located in two main areas: near the Flightline, and near the main gate. A geophysical and hydrogeological investigation was conducted at several landfills, fire training areas, and fuels handling areas to determine if environmental contamination has resulted from waste disposal and materials handling operations at Carswell AFB. Magnetometer, electromagnetic profiling, and earth resistivity surveys were conducted at several locations. Ground-water monitor wells were installed in alluvial materials and the Paluxy aquifer. Soil samples were collected at selected sites and analyzed for a broad range of parameters. Water samples collected from the wells and streams were analyzed for metals, organic indicator parameters, and purgeable organics. (Author)
