An Estimate of Soils Contaminated with Secondary Explosives

Abstract

This report provides the results of a study that examined the quantities of explosives-contaminated soils at Army installations in the United States in order to understand the user requirements for environmental technology research and development work. This report provides a timeline for the treatment of explosives-contaminated soil and an estimate of the volume of soil remaining to be treated. Per annum information is provided regarding the number of sites that will be involved in cleanup, the projected number of planned Records of Decision (RODs) and/or Decision Documents, the planned volumes of soil to be treated, and the funds budgeted for treatment. This project is an expansion of work that was performed by TRW Systems Integration Group for the U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC) as reported in USAEC Report No. SFIM-AEC-ET-CR-97026. Based on 1997 data, TVA has estimated that there is a total of 155,000 cubic yards (155 KCY) of soil contaminated with secondary explosives at 15 installations (48 sites) that will require remedial action.
