Installation Restoration Program. Phase II. Confirmation/Quantification. Stage 1 for Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina.

Abstract

The primary objectives of this project were to collect and analyze groundwater, surface water, and sediment samples and to perform an initial characterization of the hydrogeochemical regime at potential contamination sites on Shaw Air Force Base near Sumter, South Carolina. This study constituted Phase II of the U.S. Air Force Installation Restoration Program (IRP). Five potential sources of groundwater pollution were studied. The evaluation primarily included the drilling of soil test borings, the installation, development, and sampling of groundwater monitoring wells, and the analyses of soil, surface water, and groundwater samples. Also used in the study were field measurements of water quality, water-level measurements site observations, published hydrogeologic data and Shaw AFB documents. Keywords: Hazardous Waste Contamination; Groundwater Contamination.
