Sierra Army Depot, Phase 1, Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study, Lassen County, California. Final Remedial Investigation

Abstract

In accordance with the need to identify and remediate sites that have been affected by past hazardous waste practices on DOD property, the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) was developed. The goal of the IRP is to control the migration of hazardous contaminants and protect public health and the environment from potential threats associated with hazardous waste contamination. Previous environmental investigations conducted at SIAD identified 22 potential hazardous waste sites. These sites included: (1) Abandoned Landfill; (2) Chemical Burial Site; (3) Construction Debris Landfill; (4) DRMO Trench Area; (5) TNT Leaching Beds Area (which includes the TNT leaching Beds and Vehicle Maintenance Area Subsites); and (6) Honey Lake. Tasks undertaken to accomplish the RI goals included field investigations, geologic and hydrogeologic assessments, chemical analyses of soil and ground water, contamination assessments. Honey Lake Basin ground water modeling, vadose zone and groundwater contaminant transport modeling, and a public health evaluation/environmental assessment.
