Aquatic Field Survey at Iowa Army Ammunition Plant.
Abstract
Field collections were conducted during the summer period 12-24 August 1974. Material and specimens were collected for species diversity and distribution, chemical analysis of water and sediments, and bioaccumulation and biodegradation of munition compounds. Station locations used during this survey were established after consideration of the following: (1) the present sampling program conducted by plant personnel; (2) the effluent locations from various Operation Groups or Lines; and (3) the data received through past reports. There are approximately 21 miles of stream within the plant boundaries which also includes two lakes formed by the construction of dams. Three stream systems have their origins or pass through the IAAP installation. These include Long Creek which originates, in part, outside the installation boundary; Brush Creek which originates within the installation; and Spring Creek which also orginates, in part, outside the IAAP boundaries.
