Site Inspection Report Vint Hill Farms Station Warrenton, Virginia
Abstract
This Site Inspection (SI) Report summarizes work performed by Science Applications International Corporation (SMC) between September 1994 and June 1995 at 27 areas requiring environmental evaluation (AREEs) at Vint Hill Farms Station (VHFS). This work was conducted for the U. S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC) located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. VHFS is located near Warrenton, Virginia and is used by a variety of tenants to research, develop, produce, and sustain new signals warfare technology for military intelligence. In March 1993, VHFS was selected for closure by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The objective of the SI sampling program was to investigate the presence or absence of contamination and the chemical nature of any detected contamination at 27 AREEs. The SI did not include delineation of the areal extent of detected containination or a detailed geologic/hydrogeologic site characterization. Sampling locations were, in general, biased toward the most probable areas of contamination. Inspection activities conducted by SMC at VHFS included geophysical surveys, test pit excavation, sewerline video survey, field screening, soil organic vapor (SOV) surveys, subsurface borings, soil sampling, sediment sampling, groundwater probe installation, groundwater well installation, groundwater sampling, surface water sampling, wipe sampling, and topographic surveying. A streanilined risk assessment was conducted for 12 AREEs at VHFS to support the no further action (NFA) decisions. In accordance with VDEQ guidance (VDEQ 1995), the streamlined risk assessment used the maximum detected concentration at each AREE as the exposure point concentration and evaluated exposures from soil and groundwater ingestion under both current and future land uses. Under current land use, station workers and construction workers were the receptors at risk of exposure. Under future land use, residents (children and adults) were the receptors at risk of exposure. 7
