Abstract
The Unites States Army at Fort McPherson is managing the assessment and remediation of the<br>Building #105 leaking underground storage tank (UST) site at Fort McPherson, Georgia.<br>Traditional intrusive site assessment techniques have not been adequate to delineate the full<br>extent of subsurface hydrocarbon contamination at the site due to the possible presence of<br>contamination under buildings, the installation boundary, numerous overhead and subsurface<br>utilities, and an adjacent highway. The Directorate of Public Works at Fort McPherson has<br>commissioned the use of a non-intrusive geophysical site assessment technique to evaluate the<br>extent of hydrocarbons in the subsurface so that expeditious implementation of corrective actions<br>protective of human health and the environment can be completed in accordance with state<br>requirements.
