Installation Restoration Program. Phase 1: Records Search, Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas

Abstract

Blytheville AFB is located in the northeast corner of Arkansas, approximately two miles northwest of Blytheville, Ark. The main base site consists of approximately 3,700 acres comprised of runways and airfield operations, industrial areas, housing and recreational facilities. One remote installation that was included in the study was a one-acre site with a navigation marker located north of the base. Conclusions have been developed based on the results of the project team field inspection, reviews of base records and files, interviews with base personnel, and evaluations using the HARM system. Nine sites were identified as potentially containing hazardous contaminants and having the potential for contaminant migration resulting from past activities. The areas found to have potential to create environmental contamination are: Fire protection training area; Spill site nos. 2,1, and 3; Underground waste oil tanks; and Landfill Nos. 4, 2, 1 and 3.
