Impacts of Fire Ecology Range Management (FERM) on the Fate and Transport of Energetic Materials on Testing and Training Ranges

Abstract

A growing concern exists that the accumulation of unexploded or unconsumed energetic compound residues in soils on military testing and training ranges represents a threat to human health and the environment and that the ultimate fate and transport of these compounds can be influenced by land management practices. One such practice may be prescribed or controlled burning, which is used on military training ranges for a variety of purposes including safety clearance prior to detection and demolition of unexploded ordnance (UXO), wildfire avoidance, and plant and wildlife management.
