Contaminated Areas
Groundwater: Medium Risk
Groundwater is moving at a velocity of 0.12 feet/day, potentially transporting contaminants. Additionally, soils at the base are very permeable. (Aneptek Corporation, May 2001, Draft RII Report, pp. 5-32) Twenty-six water wells are located downgradient and in the general vicinity (within a 1.5 mile radius) of the base. Some of the wells are used for drinking water supply or domestic uses. (Aneptek Corporation, March 1996, PA/SI Report, p. 3-11)
Contaminants: Dieldrin 0.1 ug/L Bis(2-Ethylhexyl)Phthalate 4.7 ug/L Thallic Oxide 11.8 ug/L Benzene 14.0 ug/L Xylene (Mixed) 620.0 ug/L
Soil: Low Risk
No soil samples taken from 0-2 feet; results from 2-4 feet BGS were used because no other media were evaluated. Several fuel-related organic compounds were detected. Laboratory analytical results and soil gas survey results suggest that the levels of cont Physically inaccessible to the public with no evidence of public recreation use. There are no residential quarters, schools, or day care on the base. (Aneptek Corporation, March 1996, PA/SI Report, pp. 6, 7, Appendix H)

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 »
