Enhanced Preliminary Assessment. Task Order 2. Tacony Warehouse, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Abstract
An enhance preliminary assessment was conducted at the Tacony Warehouse (TW) which is planned for inclusion in the Base Closure Program. TW is a 14.2 acre facility along the Delaware River in an industrial section of northeast Philadelphia. TW was built in 1943 an armour plate assembly plant. The facility is currently leased to New Cumberland Army Depot for low activity storage. Based on information obtained during and subsequent to site visits on 21 September and 5 October 1989, the three immediate action recommendations are to remove an abandoned underground storage tank, to remove four 9,000-gallon aboveground tanks, and to dispose of the oil phase in an oil/water separator and trace its inflows and outflows. For the fourteen additional ESOs recommended for a site investigation the primary activities are to leak test the remaining four under ground tanks, to install soil borings and piezometers at the property boundaries, at a former spray pond and at the 9,000-gallon tanks, to test electrical equipment for Polychlorinated biphenyl, and to excavate test pits near a filled area along the river.
