Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), of the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Force Logistics Command, requested Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) assistance through the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) in characterizing and remediating polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) spill sites at the base. In addition, WPAFB requested assistance in identifying PCB-filled and PCB-contaminated equipment at WPAFB in Dayton, Ohio. This paper presents a summary of the work completed to date on this project. The objective of the project was to provide the technical management, manpower, and services required to: characterize and clean up select PCB spill sites; identify, sample, and label oil-filled equipment (typically electrical and hydraulic); and prioritize for removal, retrofill, or chemical detoxification the PCB-filled and PCB-contaminated transformers at WPAFB.
