Abstract

This report describes the results of greenhouse studies conducted to determine if phytoextraction methods could be enhanced by increasing ionic lead`s solubility in water. Soil acidifiers and chelating agents were used to increase lead`s solubility in water. The study was conducted using lead contaminated soil from the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant near Desoto, Kansas. These soils were shipped to the Tennessee Valley Authority`s Environmental Research Facility in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where the study was conducted. The report concludes that phytoextraction methods may be enhanced by these techniques and that the risk of leaching lead out of the soil`s root zone is minimal.

Elements of a CERCLA action at a former Army ammunition plant

Conference Tucker, D; Marotz, G; Frazier, G

The Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant covers 44 km{sup 2} and is located near several large population centers. Leased sites within the plant are now being used for various activities including recreation and manufacturing. Plans are in place for conversion of an additional 3,000 ha to a commercial amusement park. Some 400 structures from the plant remain and most must be removed if further ventures are to take place. Many of the buildings are structurally unsound or contain potentially hazardous materials, such as explosive residues, lead sheathing or asbestos shingles, that were stored or used in the construction of the structures.more »« less

Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 4): Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (Operable Unit 1), AL. (First remedial action), December 1991. Final report

Technical Report

The 2,200-acre Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (AAAP) site was located in Talledega County, Alabama, near the junction of Talledega Creek and the Coosa River. AAAP was built in 1941 as a government-owned/contractor-operated facility that produced nitrocellulose, nitroaromatic explosives, and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl methyl nitramine. Operations at AAAP were terminated in August 1945, and in 1973 several parcels of the original 13,233-acre property were sold. In 1978, the U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHAMA), managing the Army's Installation Restoration Program (IRP), identified soil, sediment, and ground water potentially contaminated by explosives, asbestos, and lead as a result of past site operations.more »« less
Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 4): Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Area B soils operable unit, Childersburg, AL, November 14, 1995

Technical Report

This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the contaminated soils and sediments in Study Areas, 6, 7, and 21, and the Industrial Sewer System (ISS) in Study Areas 6, 7, and 10 within Area B at the Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (ALAAP), Childersburg, Alabama. The Area B Soils Operable Unit addresses the principal threats from soils and sediments in Study Areas 6, 7, and 21, and underground industrial sewer lines in Study Areas 6, 7, and 10. The soils and sediments and the industrial sewer lines are contaminated with explosives and lead.
Biomass feasibility study for Tennessee, Indiana, and Kansas Army Ammunition Plants

Technical Report Guinn, G; Peters, J; Ziemke, M

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using solid biomass fuel instead of coal as boiler fuel at the Army Ammunition Plants (AAPs) at Parsons, Kansas, Milan, Tennessee, and Charlestown, Indiana. The study showed that only Milan AAP had a mature forest large enough to supply the Minimum Sustaining Rate (MSR) central boiler fuel but the delivered cost was greater than that of available coal. Only mill waste fuel (sawdust and bark) has a lower delivered price than coal at the three AAPs. At Milan AAP and Indiana AAP, adequate supplies of mill waste fuel aremore »« less
