In Phase II the contractor's charge was to assess the presence or absence of contamination at seven sites and to assess the potential for contaminant migration from the sites to the off-base environment. Study sites at Eglin AFB consisted of six landfills and one explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) training range. All monitor wells were installed in the sand and gravel aquifer which is a water table aquifer. In the Eglin AFB area, the sand and gravel aquifer is not used for large-scale water supplies and there are no potable water supply wells completed in the sand and gravel aquifer on Eglin AFB. There is no consistent evidence of any immediate threat to human health or the environment at Eglin AFB. However, there is evidence of some contamination downgradient from four landfills. There was no evidence of significant contamination at Landfills D-2 and D-40 and Site D-41. However, at Site D-41, additional cover material and establishment of suitable vegetative cover is recommended.
