Problems/Comments
The Carpenter’s Shop is located in the west-central area of the quarters facility. A 500-gallon heating oil AST is on the south side of the building. Maintenance supplies, including paints and turpentine, were observed inside the shop. A floor drain was also noted. The floor drain in Building 606 was abandoned and sealed on July 19, 1996. The sludge in the floor drain of Building 606 was sampled and analyzed for GRO, DRO, RRO, VOCs, SVOCs, metals and PCBs. GRO was not detected in the sludge sample, but DRO and RRO were detected at concentrations of 860 mg/kg and 2,100 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, several SVOC parameters were detected at elevated levels. No VOCs were detected. These results suggest that middle and heavy distillates were disposed of in this drain, but lighter distillates like VOCs and BTEX compounds were not disposed of. Metals were detected in the sludge at 2 to 200 times background. Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260, two PCB compounds, were detected at 4,100 ug/kg and 220 ug/kg, respectively.
