The US Army Environmental Center (AEC) has established a program for demonstrating and evaluating technology that can be used for the detection, identification, and remediation of buried, unexploded ordnance (UXO). AEC has tasked the US Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (EODTD) with establishing a performance baseline for UXO technologies by conducting multiple demonstrations, evaluating and documenting the results, and improving or enhancing technologies identified by the Government as most feasible to meet the Government`s long-range needs. The EODTD is currently conducting a series of advanced technology demonstrations at a controlled and documented site of buried, inert ordnance at the Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG) in Madison, Indiana. As part of this effort, 29 advanced technology demonstrations are being conducted at the controlled site from April to October 1994. PRC Environmental Management, Inc. (PRC), one of the principal project team members, has experience with the US Environmental Protection Agency`s (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE). This experience was invaluable during the design of the advanced technology demonstration program. In addition, Automation Research Systems, Ltd. (ARS), was asked to participate in the project because of its extensive experience with and capabilities at JPG in determining alternative uses for areas contaminated with buried UXO.
