Soil samples and groundwater samples were collected pursuant to regulatory guidelines. Based on the field screening and laboratory analysis, further assessment was recommended. Additional assessment is recommended to determine remedial alternatives for aggressive cleanup to bring this discharge to a No Further Action (NFA) status. Site activities were completed in accordance with The Department of Veteran’s Affairs Contractor Pamphlet for Safety, Infection Prevention and Security.
