Engineering Science was contracted to perform an environmental field investigation at the hazardous waste storage area (HWSA) located on the base. Portions of the HWSA have been used over the past 42 years for the storage of waste oils, waste fuels, deicing fluid and various solvents and cleaners. The materials stored at the HWSA were contained in either storage drums, or in the four 25,000 gallon underground storage tanks. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if the soil or ground water beneath the site have been contaminated due to spills or leak from the on-site storage. Contamination was confirmed at the site and additional investigations were recommended to define the lateral and vertical extent and magnitude of contamination Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Hazardous waste storage area, deicing fluid, underground storage tanks.
