Willow Grove Naval Air Station - Joint Reserve Base
Administrative Record

The Administrative Record is a library of publications, environmental assessments, and correspondence relating to identification and assessment of sites posing a potential threat to human health or to the environment due to contamination from past hazardous materials operations.

According to the Initial Assessment Study of Naval Air Station, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania published in February 1986, "a total of nine potentially contaminated sites were identified at NAS Willow Grove. Each of the sites was evaluated with regard to contamination characteristics, migration pathways, and pollutant receptors."

The Administrative Record documents the action taken by Willow Grove Naval Air Station to identify and clean up environmental hazards. The documents in the Administrative Record are shelved in the library's Reference collection and may be read at the library during normal library hours. Documents may not be checked out; however, readers may use the library's coin-operated photocopiers to copy any portions of the documents at their own expense.

In addition, Willow Grove Naval Air Station has made available copies of all of the documents in .PDF format. These may be downloaded from the library's website.

An index of the documents, in .PDF format, current as of November 2001 has been provided by the Willow Grove Naval Air Station. Click on the following link to view this index document:

The library provides an on-line version of this index with links to the individual .PDF documents. This index has been updated beyond November 2001 and is revised each time a new document is added to the collection of Administrative Record documents housed at the library.
