Report Of Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) UXO Discrimination Study Support Activities: Former Camp Sibert, Etowah and St. Clair Counties, Alabama
Abstract
As part of their ongoing efforts to evaluate and advance geophysical discrimination technologies for use at Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) sites, the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) selected portions of Site 18 at the former Camp Sibert as the site for a UXO discrimination study. Camp Sibert is located near Attalla, Alabama and was utilized as a unit and individual replacements training facility from late 1942 to early 1945. The government terminated the leases for the area on December 13, 1946. After decontamination of various ranges and toxic areas in 1948, the land was declared excess and transferred to private and local government ownership. Site 18 is located within Range 28, the 4.2-inch Mortar Range. Concurrent with the ESTCP discrimination study, an Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis (EE/CA) investigation under the Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) program was also completed by Parsons at the site. To date, two intact 4.2-inch mortars have been found at Site 18. Munition debris associated with the 4.2-inch mortars has been found over a large portion of Site 18. Relative to Parsons? efforts in support of the discrimination study, our primary objectives were three fold. 1. Provide support services for ESTCP personnel and their demonstrators. 2. Provide a qualified UXO team for seeding and intrusive investigations. 3. Act as one of the demonstrators for the discrimination study performing geophysical surveys and data analysis.
