Preliminary soil sampling and analysis for the Roofing Waste Pile (S-122), Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

摘要

Analysis of soil samples taken at the former location of the Roofing Waste Pile (S-122 OAK RIDGE Y-12 PLANT) indicates that no RCRA contaminant releases have occurred from the roofing waste that was once stored there. No further RCRA remedial investigation is proposed at this time. The Roofing Waste Pile was used as a storage area for mercury-contaminated roofing waste materials from 1986 until 1987. The roofing materials could also have been contaminated with airborne radionuclides from nearby production operations while they were being stored. The waste piles were removed from the site in mid 1987 and were placed in a temporary storage area on Chestnut Ridge.
