Remediation of Lead-Contaminated Soils at Small Arms Ranges

Source

The objectives of this study were to assess the level of lead contamination at the U.S. Navy's small arms ranges, to determine the potential for non-point source pollution, and to select and apply a remediation technology suitable to such sites. A combination of screening and stabilization were selected as the best remedy following bench-scale and field-pilot testing. Binders tested at bench scale included cement, cement-silicate, and lime-fly ash. Optimum treatment was achieved with either cement or a combination of cement and silicate.
