Installation Restoration Program. Phase 1, Records Search. Chanute AFB, Illinois

Abstract

Chanute Air Force Base is in the Village of Rantoul which is located in east-central Illinois (Champaign County), approximately 12 miles north of Champaign-Urbana. The main base has an area of 2,125 acres. Two off-base annexes include the Chapman Courts Housing Area (49 acres) in Rantoul and the Paxton Recreation Area (approximately 70 acres) about 11 miles north. Six sites were identified as potentially containing hazardous contaminants and having the potential for migration from past activities. Conclusions have been developed based on the results of the project team's field inspection, reviews of base records and files, interviews with base personnel, and evaluations using the HARM system. The areas found to have sufficient potential to create environmental contamination are: Fire protection training areas 2 and 1; and Landfill sites 2, 3, 1 and 4.
