Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Bedford Army Housing Units, Bedford, Massachusetts
Abstract
Argonne National Laboratory has conducted an enhanced preliminary assessment of the Army housing property located in Bedford, MA. The objectives of this assessment include identifying and characterizing all environmentally significant operations, identifying areas of environmental contamination that may require immediate remedial actions, identifying other action which may be necessary to resolve all identified environmental problems, and identifying other environmental concerns that may present impediments to the expeditious sale of this property. The Bedford housing facility located in Bedford, Mass., presents no imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. No immediate remedial actions are warranted at the site. Although originally developed as a housing area associated with a Nike missile battery, this area has always been exclusively used for housing military personnel, and no missile-related wastes have been delivered to or managed at this property. Although no adverse impacts from housing operations have been identified for Bedford, one action is recommended prior to release of this property: Visually inspect the interiors of the remainder of the units to determine the possible presence and condition of asbestos-containing water pipe insulation and remediate any problems found. The recommendation assumes this property will most likely continue to be used for residential housing. (kt)
