Modeling fate and transport of munitions constituents on firing ranges.

摘要

The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECSTM) computes the fate and transport of munitions constituents deposited on military firing/training ranges. TREECSTM was developed with two levels of capability, Tiers 1 and 2, where Tier 1 is for conservative screening assessments, and Tier 2 is for more accurate predictions. The models and associated processes for Tier 2 are described. Tier 2 was applied to ranges at Fort A.P. Hill, VA, for initial demonstration purposes. Observed field data were provided after model application and are compared to model-computed results. Although the comparison was not sufficient for model validation, it does demonstrate that the model leads to the same general conclusions that the field data provided.
