Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Dry Hill Housing Units, Watertown, New York
Abstract
The Dry Hill Army housing facility represents no imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence to suggest that hazardous or toxic materials have ever been released from the property. Although the housing property was originally developed as part of the Watertown Air Force Station, it is unlikely that waste materials generated at that facility would have been delivered to or managed at the adjacent housing area. Appropriate actions are already underway to address potential problems with asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, minor fuel oil spills from filling of underground storage tanks, and radon. These actions should continue to completion. In addition, the following actions are recommended prior to release of this property: 1) As the underground fuel storage tanks are removed, sample soils in the area for petroleum contamination; and 2) Sample soils surrounding the sanitary sewer line which connects this housing property with the adjacent former Air Force Station for contaminants related to activities once conducted at the Air Force Station property. These recommendations assume that this property will continue to be used for residential housing. Air Force facilities closures; Housing dwellings. (edc)
