Installation Restoration Program. Phase II. Confirmation/Quantification. Stage 1 for Former Air Force Plant Number 83, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Volume 1. Appendices A-D.

Abstract

In accordance with the procedures developed for the Department of Defense (DOD) Installation Restoration Program (IRP), and the EPA's April 1984 Scope of Work, a Phase II, Stage I site investigation has been performed at the Former USAF Plant No. 83 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Investigations were conducted at identified hazardous waste storage sites and in other areas of the plant. A total of 12 monitoring wells were installed, seven (7) in the upper water-bearing zone and five (5) in the intermediate aquifer. Boreholes were continuously monitored during drilling with an OVA, with select samples being sent to the laboratory for priority pollutant analysis. Eight (8) samples of the sediment in the San Jose Drain were also obtained for analysis. Two deep wells (DWA-1 and DWA-2) were pumped for 24 hours and water levels measured in several nearby shallow wells in order to evaluate the in-situ permeability of the clay unit. Groundwater samples were obtained from all the wells during this investigation and three existing monitoring wells at the site.
