Abstract:

Environmental Investigations were conducted during 1992-93 at twenty suspected releases solid waste management units SWMUs at the Tooele Army Depot-North Area TEAD-N as part of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act RCRA Facility Investigation RFI under the terms of a state of Utah Corrective Action Permit. Field sampling activities were conducted at seventeen of the twenty SWMUs to determine if treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste or constituents have released contaminants to the environment. Previous waste practices and controls at three SWMUs indicate that adequate protection against contaminant releases exists at these facilities, and no field sampling was required. A total of 606 soil samples, 12 sediment samples, and 19 water samples were collected, as well as 17 background soil samples. Based on records reviews and the sampling results, three SWMUs are recommended for no further action, one SWMU is recommended for no further action under the Corrective Action Permit, and 16 SWMUs are recommended for further study. Of these 16 SWMUs, 10 are recommended for further sampling activities to obtain additional data for a subsequent risk assessment, and six are recommended for risk assessment or current-use risk evaluations utilizing the existing environmental data.
