Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Herminie Army Housing Units, Herminie, Pennsylvania
Abstract
The Herminie housing area located west of the city of Herminie, Pa., does not represent any imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence which suggests that hazardous or toxic constituents have ever been released from this property. There are no known adverse environmental impacts from this property. Although these housing units were 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 missile- 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 migration of Nike missile-related wastes along buried utility lines. The Herminie housing area is an 11.87-acre site that is located 3 miles northeast of Sutersville and 2.5 miles of Herminie in the far western part of Pennsylvania about 14 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County. Asbestos shake siding installed on the housing units is in good condition and does not constitute a hazardous condition at this time. Floor tiles, which may contain asbestos, were also found to be in good condition. No actions are recommended prior to the release of this property.
