Proceedings of the Workshop on Composting of Explosives Contaminated Soils Held in New Orleans, Louisiana on 6-8 September 1989

Abstract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development leadership recognizes the potential for large dollar savings in the area of environmental remediation by the use of improved and new technologies. One hazardous waste for which composting may be used is soil contaminated with explosive compounds. Over 1 million cubic yards of contaminated soil are estimated to exist at U.S. Army installations and activities across the country. The anticipated savings for each cubic yard of soil treated by composting rather than by incineration is $200.
