Installation Restoration Program Phase 2. Confirmation/Quantification. Stage 2. Volume 1. Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida

Abstract

A Phase II-Stage 2 survey was conducted at Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) to confirm and quantify the existence of potential contaminants at former disposal, storage, and fire training sites identified during Phase I and Phase II-Stage 1 studies. Nine sites were investigated including three disposal areas, three fuel storage areas, and three fire training areas. Seventeen ground water monitor wells were installed in the surficial aquifer at the various sites investigated. A surface geophysical survey was conducted at one landfill area to determine the presence and areal extent of ground water contamination. Surface waters, ground waters, sediments, and soils were sampled and analyzed for various specific parameters including pH, specific conductance, total petroleum hydrocarbons, purgeable organics, base/neutral and acid extractable organics, dibromoethane, and priority pollutant metals. Eight of the nine zones were recommended for continued monitoring, and one zone was recommended for corrective action. Keywords: Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida; Installation restoration program.
