Load Line 12 (RVAAP 12)

    From 1951-57, 1981-83, and 1989-1993, building wash-down water and waste water from bomb melt out facility operations were collected in a house gutter system, and flowed through a piping system to two stainless steel tanks. The first tank was used for settling and the second tank was used for filtration. Prior to the 1980's, the water leaked under the building and ponded there. Building wash-down water from the Building 904 was also swept out through the doorways onto the ground surrounding the building. After 1981, the water was treated in the Load Line 12 waste water treatment system (RVAAP-18). Contaminants of concern at this unit are explosive compounds and heavy metals (lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury). There is a high potential for releases from this unit to the soils, surface water/sediments, and groundwater.

    A Phase II RI is scheduled for the summer of 2000. An interim removal is also planned for FY 2000 for the explosive contaminated soils in the vicinity of Building 904 which was demolished and removed from the site in 1999.
