The US Army Corps of Engineers provided an update on environmental and munitions investigations at the former Nansemond Ordnance Depot TNT Source Area 1 site. Geophysical surveys identified over 3,500 anomalies, with a high concentration in one 0.4 acre area. The contractor will intrusively investigate anomalies to identify any subsurface munitions for proper disposal. Upcoming reports will provide further details on the extent of groundwater and soil contamination and recommendations based on data gap investigations and a feasibility study currently underway.

HTRW Data Gap
 Data Gaps were collected from October 2014 through
November 2016
 Data collected to define the extent of the plume and
support Feasibility Study (FS)
 Data Gap report will be an addendum to FS report
 Draft for internal review in mid-March 2018

MEC Data Gap
 Contractor- Weston
 Field work was conducted from November 27 through
December 2017 by Baltimore and Weston team
 Purpose:
To verify that all past munitions removal actions have
successfully removed MEC at TNT area and make a
recommendation for further action if warranted

Geophysical Results
 EM 31
â–º Larger features most likely associated with well pad, 4
red dots along the western boundary indicate light
post, wells, signs and green dots represent trees
 EM 61
â–º 3559 total anomalies during EM61 survey
â–º EM61 saturated area contains 788 anomalies in 0.4
acres. This is a target density of 1679 anomalies per
acre. 20% of the 3559 anomalies are located in this
area
10. BUILDING STRONG®
Action Plan for Weston
 Intrusive Investigation/Sub-Surface Clearance
â–º Intrusively investigate these areas to determine and
verify the location of subsurface material. Items
identified during the survey shall be inspected and
properly disposed
 Recommend Further Action if MEC was found??
11. BUILDING STRONG®
In coming reports for review
 Data Gap investigation report which identifies the extent
of groundwater and soil contamination at the TNT and
soccer field- Further recommendation for MEC. This
report will be an addendum to FS
 Feasibility Study for Groundwater and Soil (underway by
Weston)
