Contamination Assessment Report, Site 26-6: Basin F. Version 3.3. Phase 1

Abstract

This final report documents the phase I contamination survey of site 26-6, basin F. 56 samples from 22 borings were analyzed for volatile and semivolatile organics and metals. A wide spectrum of metals, volatile organic compounds, and organocholorine pesticides was detected in the samples. Contaminated soil beneath the liner generally coincided with areas of poor liner integrity. Contaminants were detected at shallow depths in adjacent areas where the liner was intact, suggesting migration laterally along the liner/soil interface from areas where the liner was damaged. An extensive phase II program is recommended to access the extent of soil contamination outside the basin F fence and to determine if airborne particles emanating from basin F have affected section 26 soil quality. The volume of potentially contaminated material present is estimated at 405,000 to 605,000 bank cubic yards.
