Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Spring Valley Army Housing Units Ramapo, New York.

摘要

The Spring Valley housing facility does not present an imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence to suggest that hazardous or toxic materials have ever been released from the property. No immediate remedial actions, therefore, are warranted for the site. Although these housing units were originally developed in support of a Nike missile battery, there is no evidence that Nike missile-related wastes were ever delivered to this property for storage or management. The housing areas was independent of Nike battery operations with respect to water and electrical utilities.However, the housing areas was briefly connected to the Nike battery;s nearby missile-launch area by a sanitary sewer. The following actions are recommended prior to release of the property: 1) Sample each of the six on-site electrical transformers for PCBs; label the transformers appropriately; 2) Remove the abandoned liquified propane gas (LPG) tank; and 3) Sample soils surrounding the abandoned sewer line, which once connected this housing area to the nearby Nike launcher area, for the presence of Nike related contaminants. These recommendations assume that this property will continue to be used for residential housing. (KR)
