Coosa River Storage Annex, Talladega, Alabama. Environmental Investigation Report. Volume 1 of 2
Abstract
Sampling activities conducted during this Environmental Investigation (EI) are summarized below: 1) Collection and analysis of soil, surface water/sediment, wipe, and radon samples from areas previously identified to be potential contamination sources; and 2) Collection and analysis of soil and surface water/sediment samples to define background levels of potential contaminants of concern. Areas of environmental significance at the Annex that were investigated during the course of this EI include the 136 storage igloos, the 5 loading ramps (3404 through 3408), the lone debris pile, 21 areas of ground disturbance, 4 "excavated" ponds, and 10 stream sampling stations. Two of these stream sampling locations were upstream for comparison to the 6 samples collected on the Annex and the 2 locations downstream of the Annex. A background surface water and sediment sample was collected from a wetland pond in the northeast buffer zone, which is of the same wetland class as the 4 "excavated" ponds, for comparison to the pond samples from on the Annex. Background soil samples were collected from 3 locations within the buffer zone for comparison to soil samples collected on the Annex.
