The scope of this project was to complete a desktop corrosion control study for Thule AB to determine, if possible, the cause of high lead and copper levels in first draw tap sampling under the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). In April 1995, Pacific Environmental Services (PES) completed a desktop corrosion control study for Thule Air Base. The report recommends addition of silicate inhibitors as the optimal corrosion control treatment for Thule. The report steps through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seven step approach for completing desktop evaluations.
