Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Midway Army Housing Units, Kent, Washington

Abstract

The Midway (Nike Manor) housing area located in Kent, Wash., does not present an imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence to suggest that hazardous or toxic constituents have ever been released from this property. No immediate actions, therefore, are warranted for the site. This property was originally developed in support of a Nike missile battery. All available documentation and circumstantial evidence suggest that the housing property was wholly independent of the battery's operational activities. No Nike-related wastes were delivered to this property for management of disposal. Furthermore, since this property was independent of the Nike missile operations with respect to all necessary utilities, there is no possibility of the migration of Nike-related wastes along buried utility lines. The following action is recommended prior to release of the property: Remove and replace all 32 underground storage tanks; sample soils in the tank excavations for petroleum contamination and remediate any problems encountered. This recommendation assumes that the property will most likely continue to be used for residential housing. Washington state; Housing dwellings; Army facilities closures. (edc)
