Twelve sites at Dover Air Force Base were investigated during the IRP Phase II Stage 1 Study. Theses sites included four landfills, three fire training areas, two fuel spill areas, one surface impoundment area, one hazardous waste storage area, and one drainage ditch. The concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in groundwater at Sites T-1, D-4, D-5, and S-1 exceeded published health criteria. The concentrations of metals in ground-water at Sites T-1, D-10, D-5, FT-3, FT-1, and S-1 exceeded Delaware drinking water standards or published health criteria. The concentrations of metals in surface waters at Sites T-1, DD-1, and FT-3 exceeded standards or health criteria. VOCs were detected in soils or sediments at Sites T-1, and S-1. The concentrations of arsenic and metals at Sites T-1, DD-1, FT-3, S-1, and D-2 exceeded background values reported for Maryland and Delaware coastal plain soils or U.S. averages. The Stage 1 study did not fully pinpoint contaminant sources or characterize the rate or extent of substance migration from the sites. The recommended Stage 2 program consists of three steps, and is estimated to require 24 months.
