Tooele Army Depot - South Area Suspected Release Units. RCRA Facility Investigation - Phase 2, for SWMUs 1, 25, and 27
Abstract
This Phase II Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Facility Investigation included environmental sampling and a preliminary human health and ecological risk assessment of suspected releases Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs) 1 and 25 and an RFI-Phase I program to determine the presence or absence of contamination at SWMU 37 at Tooele Army Depot South Area (TEAD-S), near Tooele, Utah. SWMUs 1 and 25: The Army's objectives at TEAD-S are to prevent environmental degradation and protect installation workers and the environment during continued army use of the installation. This study concludes that there are no human health threats identified at TEAD-S Group 1 SWMUs under current use. Subsurface samples should be collected in the future to complete the characterization of these SWMUs. Risks to vegetation and wildlife were estimated qualitatively. Biota sampling is recommended to quantity these ecological risk estimates. SWMUs 1 and 25 contain unexploded ordnance and bulk explosives that would constitute a physical hazard if disturbed, but pose only a remote risk to the trained Army personnel who currently use these areas. SWMU 37: SWMU 37 samples identified potential contamination by several metals. A Phase II program is recommended to define the extent of this potential contamination. All ordnance, slag, and ash should be removed and disposed of properly.
