Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 1): Brunswick Naval Air Station, Sites 1 and 3, Brunswick, ME. (First Remedial Action), June 1992
The 3,094-acre Brunswick Naval Air Station (NAS Brunswick) site is an active military facility located south of the Androscoggin River between Brunswick and Bath, Maine. NAS Brunswick has many areas onsite that were used for disposal of hazardous materials. Since 1983, the Navy and EPA have conducted several investigations regarding the past usage and disposal of hazardous substances. These revealed contamination of the soil, sediment, and ground water in Sites 1 and 3 with VOCs and metals. The ROD addresses containment of the buried wastes at the Site 1 and 3 areas and recovery of contaminated ground water to prevent further migration. The primary contaminants of concern affecting soil, sediment, and ground water are VOCs, including methylene chloride and DCE; and metals, including arsenic, chromium, lead, and mercury. The selected remedial action for the site includes the construction of a low permeability RCRA cap over the landfills and a slurry wall around the waste to divert clean water away from the landfills.
