Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Nahant Army Housing Units, Nahant, Massachusetts

Abstract

Argonne National Laboratory has conducted an enhanced preliminary assessment of the Army housing property located in Nahant, 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 actions 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 Nahant housing facility located in Nahant, Mass., presents no imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. No immediate remedial actions are warranted for the site. Past and present use of this property has exclusively been to provide housing units for military personnel. and no large quantities of wastes have been generated or disposed of on-site. No adverse impacts from housing operations have been identified. the facility was originally developed as part of the Nike missile battery located in Nahant, Mass., but no missile-related wastes were delivered to or managed at this site. Concerns exist, however, about the underground heating-oil tanks at each housing unit on the property. The recommendations assume this property will most likely continue to be used for residential housing. (kt)
