Technical Report · Mon Apr 17 00:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:5050060

Mather Air Force Base (MAFB), California is east of Sacramento, California. The Air Command and Warning site is the only site within the Base currently on the National Priorities List. Ground water was the only medium sampled; it was found to be contaminated with TCE (0.9 to 22.0 micro g/L), tetrachloroethylene (0.6 to 3.6 micro g/L), vinyl chloride (0.7 to 9.9 micro g/L), dichloroethane (2.5 micro g/L), and 1,4-dichlorobenzene (3.3 micro g/L). The health threats posed by contaminants attributable to MAFB have not been evaluated. Ground water and sediment contamination on the base have been confirmed. The site is of potential health concern because of the potential risk to human health resulting from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects.
