Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Wakefield Army Housing Units, Wakefield, Massachusetts
Abstract
Argonne National Laboratory has conducted an enhanced preliminary assessment of the Army housing property located in Wakefield, MA. The objective 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 Wakefield housing area presents no imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence to suggest that hazardous or toxic constituents have been released during site investigation none was identified. This property was originally developed in conjunction with a Nike missile antiaircraft battery located in Wakefield, Mass. However, no wastes associated with the operation and maintenance of the missile- launch and tracking systems have ever been delivered to or managed at this housing property. Based on a review of both historical and current practices at the property, the Wakefield housing area is therefore considered to pose minimal threat to human health or the environment. No immediate remedial actions are warranted for this site. This conclusion is based on the assumption that this property will most likely continue to be used for residential housing. (KT)
