The Department of Defense's Installation Restoration Program (IRP) is a four-phase program to identify past waste disposal practices, evaluate environmental impacts, propose mitigation measures, and remediate environmental problems. Phase I of the IRP is an initial assessment and records search to locate potential environmental problems associated with waste disposal practices. The Phase II field study was conducted between March 1984 and August 1986. The investigation focused on whether environmental contamination had occurred, the magnitude and extent of the contamination, and the environmental consequences of migrating pollutants. Nine coreholes and nine groundwater monitoring wells were drilled, and sampled. Contaminants were detected in the soil and groundwater at most of the sites. The contaminants detected in the highest quantities in the groundwater were lead and benzene. However, the shallow groundwater at the base is not used for drinking water. Shallow groundwater use outside the base is unknown, but it is not believed to include drinking water supplies. Additionally, the existing aquifers are thin and discontinuous on the base so that no known immediate treat to human health exists. Each of the eleven sites was categorized according to Air Force criteria: Category I - no further investigation required, Category II - additional work needed, or Category III - institute remedial action. All sites were Category II.

Methyl ethyl ketone analysis was performed by Radian chromatography laboratory. The results of the analysis are in a memo included in this volume. All other samples for chemical analysis were submitted to Radian Analytical Services Laboratory. The samples were logged in, and the data reported in batches . Each batch submitted was assigned a RAS work order number. Volume 2, Volume 3, and Volume 4, Appendix A-1 contain the analytical data reports for the various batches of samples. The bulk of data necessitated the results be bound in three volumes. Volumes 2, Volume 3, and Volume 4, Appendix A-1 contain Tables A.1-1, A.1-3, and A.1-5, respectively, which are a sequential listing of the reports contained in that volume by batch number and Tables A.1-2, A.1-4, and A.1-6, respectively, which are a sample log and cross-reference table. These tables serve as a sample log and cross-reference well numbers, OEHL numbers and the RAS work order numbers under which the results are located. Pages in Appendix A are numbered by the volume number followed by the page number of that volume. For example, Page 2 001 is the first chemistry data page of Volume 2.

Three sites were investigated at Elelson AFB during the Phse II, Stage 2 field evaluation of the IRP. The sites were the sewage treatment plant spill ponds and treated effluent leaching ponds (Site 32) and two base landfills (Sites 2 and 1). A geophysical survey was performed in the vicinity of the sludge treatment plant to help define areas of high electromagnetic conductivity (i.e., potential contamination) and aid in the placement of monitor wells. Eight monitor wells were installed during Stage 2. Ground water samples from Stage 1 and Stage 2 wells were analyzed for purgeable lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury and silver. Soil samples from the vicinity of one of the landfills (Site 1) were tested for the presence of pesticides. Trace quantities of purgeable halocarbons and petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in the wells from all three sites. Drinking water standards for total trihalomethanes were not exceeded for any of these samples. Arsenic and cadmium were detected in wells at concentrations were elevated in the vicinity of the sewage treatment plant. Only one well, in close proximity to the sewage sludge drying beds, was found to have nitrate, nitrite concentrations above the Primary Drinking Water Standard. A well downgradient from this site had nitrate, nitrite levels below the same standard. Soils at Site 1 contain trace quantities of DDE, DDD, and DDT. No pesticides were detected in groundwater from the monitor well at this site.
