Installation Restoration Program. Phase I. Records Search. New Boston Air Force Station, New Hampshire.

Abstract : An installation Restoration Program Phase I Records Search was conducted of New Boston Air Force Station from Feb. 11 to Feb. 15, 1985. Past and current employees were interviewed, records were reviewed, regulatory agencies were contacted, and a ground reconnaissance was conducted. Past waste handling and disposal practices were evaluated, and twelve past waste disposal or spill sites were identified. The sites were evaluated for potential for contamination and migration of contaminants using a decision tree process. Nine sites were found to have no potential for residual contamination and/or contaminant migration and were deleted from further consideration. Three sites were found to have a potential for contaminant migration and were assessed using the Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM), and Phase II confirmatory sampling and analysis programs are recommended for these sites. In addition, actions for five disposal sites are recommended for inclusion in the Base Environmental Program.
