Installation Restoration Program (IRP). Site S-5 Remedial Investigation. Volume I

Abstract

Site S-5 is located behind Building 1618 along the eastern side of the Kelly AFB Flightline. An aqua-fuels system, which is believed to be the major source of contamination at Site S-5, is located in the vicinity of Building 1617. Petroleum products stored in the Building 1617 fuel farm included aviation gasoline (Avgas), jet fuel, control unit calibrating fluid, and waste oils. Potentially, any of these fluids could have been released from the tanks and associated piping systems during the operation of the facility. Currently, all eight tanks are empty and located to prevent any further use. A site characterization study and remedial investigation was conducted in two phases at Site S-5 to assess the type and extent of soil and groundwater contamination at the site. Several volatile organics, dissolved lead, and petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in groundwater samples. Analytical results for Phase 2 were generally lower than those for Phase 1.
