Field Demonstration and Validation of TREECS and CTS for the Risk Assessment of Contaminants on Department of Defense Ranges

Abstract

The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS) was developed to forecast the fate of and risk from munitions constituents (MC), such as high explosives (HE) and metals, within and transported from firing/training ranges to surface water and ground-water. The Chemical Transformation Simulator (CTS) was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to provide physicochemical properties of complex organic chemicals. TREECS requires such properties for predicting environmental fate of MC. This study validated the capability of TREECS and CTS to predict MC (HE ROX) concentrations In receiving waters down-gradient of training/firing ranges for three installations.
