Geophysical Site Characterization for UXO Background Studies: Fort Carson, Colorado; Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia; and Jefferson Proving Ground, Indiana%
Abstract
Five 1-hectare UXO/landmine test sites were established at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia (two sites); Fort Carson, Colorado (2 sites); and Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG), Indiana (1 site). The sites were characterized to document them for the purpose of comparison with other UXO/landmine test sites and to provide presite disturbance assessments disturbance of site heterogeneity and the presence of buried cultural features. The investigations included measurements and surveys to determine geological, geophysical, and environmental parameters or properties and their variation with depth, lateral dimension, and time. The criteria used for choosing the geographical location of a site are predominant soil type and average yearly precipitation.
