Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Rural Ridge Army Housing Units, Rural Ridge, Pennsylvania

Abstract

The Rural Ridge housing facility located in Rural Ridge, Pa., does not represent any 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. This property was originally developed in conjunction with a NIKE missile battery located in Rural Ridge, Pa. However, no wastes associated with the operation and maintenance of the missile and tracking systems have ever been delivered to or managed at this housing property. Furthermore, this housing property existed independently of the missile launcher area and integrated fire control portions of the battery with respect to water, sewer, or electrical utilities. No actions are recommended prior of this property. This assumes that the property will continue to be used for residential housing.
