Contaminated Areas
Soil: High Risk
High concentration of metals were detected at surface and subsurface soil in along the mosquito ditchess located within the RASS 1 Area. Due to the high concentration of metals in the sediment and the proximity of the surface water such as Sloughs and Nichols Creek, there are evident that ecological receptors has been impacted. Unacceptable risk to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
Contaminants: Mercury (Methyl) 0.87 mg/kg Selenium 9.6 mg/kg Cadmium and compounds 832.0 mg/kg Lead 872.0 mg/kg Copper Cyanide 1560.0 mg/kg Zinc Cyanide 2990.0 mg/kg Arsenic 3260.0 mg/kg
Sediment (Marine): High Risk
High concentration of metals were detected in the sediment. Because the area is conidered habitat to known endangered species, ecologiocal receptors is potentially impacted by the high concentrations of metals.
Contaminants: Mercury 0.87 mg/kg Cadmium 832.0 mg/kg Copper 1560.0 mg/kg Zinc 89300.0 mg/kg
Surface Water (Marine): High Risk
The Mosquito Ditches is transporting sediment and groundwater contamination to the sloughs where it discharges the water to Suisun Bay. Unacceptable risk to fish and aquatic invertebrates, black rail and Salt Harvest Mouse.
Contaminants: Mercury 1.7 ug/L Selenium 14.1 ug/L Cadmium 207.0 ug/L Lead 1330.0 ug/L Arsenic (III) 2970.0 ug/L Copper 7240.0 ug/L

Groundwater: Low Risk
The groundwater is shallow. Metals have been detected in the groundwater monitoring wells at this site greater than the PRG. GW has evident of interaction with the surface water. No water supply wells are down gradient of the site. Groundwater, due to high total dissolved solids and saltwater intrusion, is not used as a water source. Water from the tidal area is unlikely to have any potential beneficial water supply use.

Update (Dec. 5, 2017): We have changed the source of the installation cost data after being notified by the Department of Defense that they erroneously reported their own cost figures on the DERP website. We are now displaying the costs the department says are the most accurate available, from the Pentagon’s DERP database that we received in a FOIA request.
Note: The risk level of a site refers to a relative risk assessment made by the DOD to prioritize the cleanup of sites.
Data: All data comes from the Defense Environmental Restoration Program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will be released soon at the ProPublica Data Store. Read our methodology »
