SWMU 60 – Former Landfill at the Marina

SWMU 60 is located in the immediate area of the base marina.  It was used as a landfill from approximately the 1940s to the 1960s, with piles of solid waste and scrap metal.  The marina now covers most of the area, except for the portion of the site which consists of a level area described as estuarine intertidal scrub-shrub broad-leaved evergreen.

Surface soil, subsurface soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment samples were collected from the Former Landfill at the Marina.  The primary contaminates detected in sediment, surface soil and subsurface soil samples are consistent with fuel and pesticide contamination.  Based on analytical data of the groundwater, it does not appear impacted by previous site activities.
