Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Fairfield Army Housing Units, Fairfield, Connecticut
Abstract
The Fairfield housing area located in Fairfield , Conn., presents no imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence to suggest the hazardous or toxic constituents have ever been released from this property. No immediate remedial actions, therefore, are warranted for the site. Although these housing units were originally developed in support of a Nike missile battery, all available documentation and circumstantial evidence indicate that the housing property was wholly independent of the battery's operational activities. No Nike-related wastes were delivered to this property for management or 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-related wastes along buried utility lines. Nevertheless, three environmental impacts at this property have been identified, each of which warrants some remedial action prior to release of this property. One concern derives from the information reported by both the Area Facility Engineer and the resident occupant, which indicate that unit 376 had asbestos releases from the insulation wrap around the water-heater pipe. This problem was addressed in the short term by applying protective tape around the deteriorating insulating. (KR)
