Results of a Study Investigating the Plant Uptake of Explosive Residues From Compost of Explosives-Contaminated Soil Obtained from the Umatilla Army Depot Activity
Abstract
This report describes the results of a Plant Uptake Study conducted to determine if plants would take up explosives or explosive by-products from composted explosives-contaminated soil. The study was conducted using compost produced during the remediation of an explosives-contaminated site at the U.S. Army's Umatilla Army Depot Activity at Hermiston, Oregon. This compost was shipped to the Tennessee Valley Authority's Environmental Research Facility In Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where the study was conducted. The report concludes that the plants did not cause an increase in levels of explosives or explosive degradation by-products In the compost nor did they take up explosives or explosive by-products.
