Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Beverly Army Housing Units, Beverly, Massachusetts.

摘要

Argonne National Laboratory has conducted an enhanced preliminary assessment of the Army housing property located in Beverly, MA. The objectives of this assessment include identifying and characterizing all environmentally significant operations, identifying areas of environmental contamination that may require immediate remedial actions, identifying other actions which may be necessary to resolve all identified environmental problems, and identifying other environmental concerns that may present impediments to the expeditious of this property. The Beverly housing facility does not represent any imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment and, consequently, no immediate remedial actions are necessary. Although originally constructed in 1958 as part of the Nike missile antiaircraft defense network, this area has always been used solely for housing military personnel, and no missile-related wastes were ever delivered to or managed at this property. No problem associated with collection and disposal of garbage for the facility was reported. No sewerage problems were identified. Water-pipe insulation inside the housing units may contain asbestos. However, the insulation is in excellent condition and does not need to be removed. No adverse environmental impacts have been identified and no additional investigations are warranted. No actions are recommended prior to excessing this property. (KT)
