Final Post Removal Action Risk Evaluation for Building 42, Building 43, Coal Storage Area 3, and Building 77 of the Surplus Operable Unit, Fort Sheridan, Illinois

摘要

In 1988, Fort Sheridan, illinois was recommended to the Secretary of Defense for closure by the Commission on Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). To support decisions regarding preparation of the property for release, the Department of the Army is implementing environmental studies and restoration activities (if needed) before property transfer. The U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC), as part of the Army staff, is assisting Fort Sheridan in this work. The scope of work, as detailed in the Overall Quality Assurance Project Plan (OQAPP) Environmental Science & Engineering, Inc. (ESE), 1995a and the various sampling and analysis plans (SAPs) for Fort Sheridan, includes characterizing known and potential environmental problems at numerous study areas in the Surplus Operable Unit (OU) by sampling various environmental media and analyzing the samples for the presence of constituents of interest.
