Installation Restoration Program. Preliminary Assessment: 273rd Engineering Installation Squadron, Nederland Air National Guard Station, Texas Air National Guard, Nederland, Texas

Abstract

The preliminary assessment included the following activities: (1) An on-site visit, including interviews and field surveys. (2) Acquisition and analysis of information on past hazardous materials use, waste generation, and waste disposal at the Station; (3) Acquisition and analysis of available geological surveys, hydrological data, meteorological data, and environmental data from federal, state, and local agencies; and (4) The identification and assessment of sites where contamination of soils, ground water and/or surface water may have occurred. Operations that have involved the use of hazardous materials and the disposal of hazardous wastes include vehicle maintenance and maintenance of aerospace ground equipment (AGE). The hazardous wastes disposed of through these operations include varying quantities of fuels, acids, paints, thinners, strippers, solvents, and oils. The field surveys and interviews resulted in one site being identified that exhibits the potential for migration of contaminants due to leakage or seepage from landfills or storage tanks.
