Technical Report · Tue Feb 02 04:00:00 EST 1999

OSTI ID:339582

Moffett Federal Airfield (MFA) is a former Navy base currently operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Contamination of groundwater, soil, surface water, and sediment at MFA has resulted from the handling and disposal of various fuels, solvents, and other chemicals used at the base. Sources and sites of contamination include landfills, wastewater holding ponds, drainage ditches, leaking underground storage tanks and sumps, fuel spills, and fire-fighting training areas. MFA is also affected by a plume of groundwater contamination originating at a nearby Superfund site. There is little or no potential for public exposure at MFA. Levels of contamination present do not present a public health hazard from any limited and infrequent exposures that would be likely to occur. Remediation of many sites is complete.
