Hello Elizabeth,
The Division acknowledges the ongoing investigation efforts that Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) is taking to investigate the
placement of the soil piles at N002 and determine the source of the materials. As the investigation proceeds with the
involvement of Hill AFB 75th Security Forces, the Division is requesting collection of soil pile samples to obtain initial
information about the characteristics of the waste. The Division is concerned about the level of potential contamination
and whether the constituents could possibly be migrating.
Preliminary information about the nature of the soil pile constituents will be required to determine a timeframe for action
regarding the soil piles – if the contaminant concentrations are high and/or the constituents are potentially mobile,
immediate action may be warranted. The preliminary information may also help Hill AFB formulate a sampling plan to
fully characterize the nature and extent of potential contamination associated with the soil piles in the event that the N002
soil piles source investigation does not conclude with definitive information.
Please collect samples from the soil piles for initial characterization. As the source of the soil piles is unknown at this
point, please include analysis for the full suite of potential contaminants. Please provide the analytical results once they
are available.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Karen
