| Abstract |
The objectives of this study were to develop a basic understanding of the release rate and subsequent fate and transport of munition constituents (MCs) in water and in sediment. The ability tocharacterize, assess, and predict potential MC source loading and distribution has significant implications for Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Navy (DoN) range sustainabilityinitiatives. DoD will gain critical information for making scientifically defensible risk management decisions about underwater ordnance leave-in-place (LIP) mitigation and blow-in-place (BIP) vs.removal options. In addition to explosive blast (safety) considerations, future regulatory emphasis will likely require an assessment of potential underwater ordnance contamination and mitigation efforts that could include water and sediment quality issues. |
