Industrial Area Groundwater Report, Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Phase 2
Abstract
This report summarizes the findings of the Phase II survey of the geohydrological characteristics and water quality of the water-table aquifer underlying the Industrial Area and the Flashing Ground at Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (AAAP), Childersburg, Alabama. During the period October 1979 to October 1980, an environmental survey (Phase I) of AAAP was conducted by Environmental Science and Engineering, Inc. (ESE) under contract to the U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHAMA). The results of the Phase I survey reported by ESE (1981) indicated that the water-table aquifer underlying these areas was contaminated by nitroaromatic residues as a result of past industrial operations. As a consequence of the potential for contaminant migration off site, further studies were performed to more clearly define the zone of contamination and extent and direction of contaminant movement. These further studies comprise the Phase II groundwater survey.
