This document is a site investigation report on Ellington Field, Houston, Texas, as the second phase of the Installation Restoration Program. The report outlines the results from geophysical surveys, soil sampling, ground water samplings, surface soil samplings, and hydrology studies. Two sites were investigated in this study to confirm or deny the presence of contamination. At former landfills geophysical surveys were completed to locate any underground storage tanks that might be present. Two possible locations were noted from the surveys. The soils and ground water samples taken did not show any volatile organic compounds. Pesticides were reported in low concentrations in soils and ground water and several BNA's were present in surface soil samples. The preliminary risk assessment concluded that there did not appear to be any risk to human health or the environment and the site was recommended for no further action. At a Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants Area (POL), contamination was detected in soil samples and in one monitoring well. The site was recommended for further study, so the extent of petroleum hydrocarbons contamination could be established and the soil remediated.
