This report identified and evaluated several potentially hazardous waste-disposal sites at Ellsworth AFB. Records of past waste handling and disposal practices were reviewed. Interviews with past and present installation employees were conducted to develop a history of waste disposal practices. The environmental setting was evaluated including soils, geology, past ground water and surface water. A fire protection training area, six landfills, an underground tank leak (Auto Hobby Shop). Three past coolant spills, an EOD Pramitol spill, three fuel leaks/spills and a low-level radioactive burial site were found to have sufficient potential to create environmental contamination and follow-on investigations (Phase II) were recommended and outlined.
