HWAAP-H03
ROAD & GROUNDS WASTE OPEN BURN PIT
SITE DESCRIPTION
HWAAP-H03 is an unlined pit located southeast of the HWAD Sewage Treatment Plant and measures 160 by 70 by 15 feet and the ends are sloped toward the center. Brush and tree cuttings were disposed of in the pit, soaked in waste fuel and burnt for fire control training. The pit was in operation from about 1975 to 1983 had received varying amounts of fuels, wood products and rubbish. The 1994 investigation included surface soil and hand auger sampling, and cone penetrometer soundings. Two surface soil samples, two hand auger samples and three cone penetrometer soil samples were collected in the pit and analyzed for SVOCs, VOCs, pesticides and PCBs, TPH, explosives and metals. Metals, TPH diesel, SVOC and dioxin were detected in the soil samples. Visible evidence of ash and burn residue is on the ground surface.
