Sanitary/Storm Drainage Characterization Survey, Eglin AFB, FL
Abstract
A sanitary/storm drainage survey was conducted at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, from 30 July to 10 August 1990. The scope of the survey was to evaluate the sanitary and stormwater systems and the need for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Recommendations are: (1) Conduct a dye test on the photo lab drains to verify which one is discharging photo wastes to the storm sewer system. (2) Sample Jack's Lake for mercury, phenol, and iron to verify if the mercury levels are derived from the water shed area or the saltwater intrusion at the sampling site. Sample sediment at the influent stream to Jack's Lake and test for mercury. (3) Identify the source of iron around site 6. (4) Resample site 24 to verify the high pH concentration and identify the source. (5) Apply for a NPDES permit for oil/water separator at bldg 1313 or design a locking device to prevent any discharge into the drainage ditch. (6) Clean the oil/water separators and incorporate a monitoring system for the separators.
