New Page Environmental Cleanup Project Summaries Fort Riley is a leader in addressing environmental cleanup as an effective way to safeguard the environment and ensure the safety, health, and well-being of present and future generations. You are invited to view the status of our current environmental cleanup projects at Fort Riley. The site is located at Marshall Army Airfield and consists of an abandoned three mile pipeline and three former underground storage tanks at the terminus. Preliminary investigation of the terminus area shows contamination in the soil and groundwater. Pipeline location activities have been completed.
Further investigation is planned.
This former heating oil-dispensing system in a family housing area on Custer Hill consisted of two underground storage tanks and a pump house. Source removal of contaminated trench backfill materials and surrounding soils was completed in 1997. Groundwater contamination in the limestone formation may be impractical to remediate because of relatively small amounts of groundwater in a fracture-controlled formation. Long-term monitoring may be required. This site is located in the northwest portion of Camp Funston.
