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.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 was promulgated to regulate the generation, transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Simultaneous to the passage of RCRA, the Department of Defense devised a Comprehensive Installation Restoration Program to identify, report, and correct potential environmental deficiencies that could result in groundwater contamination and probable migration of contaminants beyond DOD installation boundaries. Engineering - Science was retained by the Air Force Engineering and Services Center on 15 July 1981 to conduct a records search for Wright-Patterson AFB, the first phase of the Installation Restoration Program. The on-site portion of the records search as performed at Wright-Patterson AFB on 29 and 30 September and 19 through 23 October 1981. During this period, formal interviews were conducted with base personnel familiar with past waste disposal practices and file searches were performed for identified facilities which have generated, handled, transported, or disposed of waste materials. This study contains a summary of Engineering - Science's findings and a rating of potential contamination for each suspected contaminated site. (Author).

The Phase II Stage 1 Installation Restoration Program Confirmation/Quantification Survey for Moody Air Force Base investigated three suspected hazardous waste disposal sites. These included a former landfill site; a construction rubble fill site; and a petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) storage area. In addition, testing of all existing water supply (potable and industrial) wells was conducted. Shallow groundwater monitoring wells were installed at two of the sites. Shallow pits were excavated at the POL site. Shallow groundwater from monitor wells and pits, deeper groundwater from existing wells, and surface water were sampled. Most of these analyses were screening tests (pH, specific conductance, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total organic halogens (TOX), total phenolics, and oil and grease), which are nonspecific indicators of contamination. Samples near waste sites were analyzed for specific constituents (cadmium chromium, iron, nickel, lead, zinc, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), and purgeable organics) where prior information indicated they may be present. Samples from base supply wells were tested for selected nonspecific and specific constituents.

This report covers the first (Phase I) part of the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) confirmation study at Travis AFB, CA. This study was directed by the Department of Defense. The overall objective of the IRP is to identify and evaluate past disposal sites and to control the migration of hazardous environmental contamination resulting from such sites. This work will be followed by a Phase II effort to determine if migration is occurring and if so, in what quantities. (Author).

In accordance with the procedures developed for the Department of Defense (DOD) Installation Restoration Program (IRP), and the EPA's April 1984 Scope of Work, a Phase II, Stage I site investigation has been performed at the Former USAF Plant No. 83 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Investigations were conducted at identified hazardous waste storage sites and in other areas of the plant. A total of 12 monitoring wells were installed, seven (7) in the upper water-bearing zone and five (5) in the intermediate aquifer. Boreholes were continuously monitored during drilling with an OVA, with select samples being sent to the laboratory for priority pollutant analysis. Eight (8) samples of the sediment in the San Jose Drain were also obtained for analysis. Two deep wells (DWA-1 and DWA-2) were pumped for 24 hours and water levels measured in several nearby shallow wells in order to evaluate the in-situ permeability of the clay unit. Groundwater samples were obtained from all the wells during this investigation and three existing monitoring wells at the site.

The Phase II (Records Search) Installation Restoration Program study at Sheppard AFB initially identified twenty-three individual sites of potential environmental concern. Of these twenty-three, eleven sites were identified as possibly containing hazardous waste. These sites were evaluated using the USAF Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM). Based upon the HARM scores, four of the eleven sites were identified for Phase II investigations. This investigation (Phase II stage 1) was conducted between October 1984 and February 1985, and included geophysical surveys, the installation and sampling of nine ground-water monitoring wells, coring and sampling of shallow soils at two of the four sites, and sampling and analysis of surface water from seven locations near the waste sites. Keywords: Installation restoration, Groundwater sampling, Surfacewater sampling, Soil sampling, Remedial action, Hazardous waste, Geophysical surveys, Monitoring wells.

A total of 13 sites at Homestead Air Force Base (AFB) were identified by the Phase I Installation Assessment as having a potential for environmental contamination. These 13 sites were ranked using the Hazardous Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM) and the top eight ranked sites were recommended for monitoring under Phase II. Two additional sites, from the original 13 sites, the leak at Pump Station No. 9 (SP-5) and the Residual Pesticide Disposal Area (P-3), were added by USAFOEHL to the Phase I recommendations for monitoring making a total of 10 sites which received Phase II confirmation investigation. Two sites (SP-4 and SP-6), located near the west gate, in close proximity to one another, are indistinguishable from each other based on the groundwater analysis results. these are combined into a single zone for Phase II, Stage 2 recommendations. Nineteen 2-inch groundwater monitoring wells were installed into the upper Biscayne aquifer during Phase II, Stages. These, along with three existing wells, were sampled, with samples being shipped to both OEHL and SAIC laboratories. Soil samples were collected at three sites, and sediment samples at two.

An INstallation Restoration Program (IRP) Phase II, Stage 1 investigation was conducted at USAF Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, to confirm the presence or absence of contamination at 23 sites. Contamination was suspected at the sites as a result of past spills, leaks, or waste disposal practices. A field investigation program was conducted, consisting of soil boring and sampling, groundwater sampling, and chemical analysis of environmental samples (water and soils) for suspected contaminants. No significant contaminants were found at 17 of the sites. Fuel contamination (petroleum hydrocarbons or oil & grease) was detected at 5 sites, 3 of which also had volatile organics present. Remedial action was recommended for 2 sites because of the location and amount of contaminants detected.
