Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Ansonia Army Housing Units, Ansonia, Connecticut
Abstract
Argonne National Laboratory has conducted an enhanced preliminary assessment of the Army housing property located in Ansonia, CT. 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. Despite its independence from Nike battery operations, this property could adversely affect the environment if the above-ground fuel- oil storage tanks that services the housing units were to remain in their present potentially unsafe condition. Leakage of oil from the old underground fuel-storage tank behind unit 9 is suspected to have occurred. There is no documentation of airborne asbestos in the housing units, but the unsatisfactory condition of the covering of the water-pipe insulation poses a potential health hazard. (AW)
