LINE 1 AMMO LAP (MISSLE/FORMER AEC)

 

SITE DESCRIPTION

Line 1 is an ammunition production line.  The waste is from washing spilled explosives from floors and equipment.  The wastewater is now treated by carbon adsorption in adjacent filter houses.  Cleanup action at this site is being handled by the FUSRAP program.  The last outstanding issue to be handled by the Army is a Supplemental RI for this site.  The RC date was extended due to an informal dispute between the Army and the USEPA.  The groundwater costs are captured under Site PBC at Iowa through 2014.  Post PBS costs (2015) are covered under site IAAP-020.

CLEANUP STRATEGY

FUSRAP will perform soil excavation and disposal.  The Interim ROD requires the removal of 7410cy (220cy metals, 4850cy explosives, 1480cy explosives and metals, 590cy VOCs, and 270cy Rad) contaminated soil. This soil will be taken to the Inert Disposal Area (IAAP-020) and sorted by contaminant level and type.

ER,A will address groundwater issues at this site as necessary.
