reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA269023 | Open PDF

Abstract:

TCE contamination was confirmed within the Northeast Disposal Area of George AFB during January 1986. The Field investigation has shown the area of contamination to be approximately 1-14 miles long by 34 mile wide, extending 34 mile beyond the base boundary. The contaminated plume lies within an upper aquifer which does not serve as a potable water source. The highest level of contamination found to date is 560 parts per billion ppb. The California State Action Level is 5 ppb. Above 5 ppb, the State requires action of some kind by the responsible agency in order to remedy the situation.
