Demonstration Results of Phytoremediation of Explosives-Contaminated Groundwater Using Constructed Wetlands At The Milan Army Ammunition Plant, Milan, Tennessee Volume IV

摘要

This report describes a demonstration of phytoremediation methods to remediate explosives-contaminated groundwater. The demonstration was conducted at the Milan Army Ammunition Plant near Milan, Tennessee, using a gravel-based subsurface flow wetland and a lagoon-based surface flow wetland. The report provides demonstration results as they are related to the effectiveness of the wetlands; and provides cost and other information necessary for the transfer of the technology to the user community. The report concludes that gravel-based wetlands could be used to remediate groundwater contaminated with a variety of explosives including TNT and RDX and that, based on the demonstration results, the use of lagoon-based wetlands could not be recommended.
