This book was released on 1993 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990 we proved that an annual waterfowl dieoff involving thousands of waterfowl at Eagle River Flats (ERF), a 1000-ha estuarine salt marsh at Ft. Richardson, Alaska, was due to the ingestion of highly toxic particles of white phosphorus that entered the bottom sediments of shallow ponds as a result of training with white-phosphorus smoke munitions. The anoxic conditions of the bottom sediments preserved the normally highly reactive white phosphorus. In 1991 we delineated the extent of white phosphorus contamination in the ponds of Eagle River Flats and further investigated the biological effects of WP contamination. Over 360 sediment samples were collected from six ponds where ducks were observed to feed and become sick and where carcasses of poisoned waterfowl were found. These ponds cover about 50 ha of the 1000-ha salt marsh. Sediment and tissue samples were analyzed for white phosphorus by gas chromatography. White phosphorus was found in 101 surface sediment samples and in sediment cores to depths of 20 cm. The distribution and highest concentrations of white phosphorus were localized in two of the six feeding pond areas, covering about 15 ha. We hypothesize that these two areas represent the major sources of waterfowl poisoning in ERF. While the locations in ERF where various species of waterfowl become sick showed close correlation with white phosphorus contamination in the sediments, dead waterfowl were also found in uncontaminated areas of ERF. No WP was found in over 300 gizzards of ducks harvested by hunters from various Cook Inlet marshes. Alaska, Wetlands, Munition residues, White phosphorus, Waterfowl.

Download or read book Dredging as Remediation for White Phosphorus Contamination at Eagle River Flats, Alaska written by Michael R. Walsh and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eagle River Flats impact area is a Ft. Richardson Superfund site. It is a salt marsh that is contaminated with white phosphorus (WP), and remediation of sediments in permanently ponded areas may require dredging. A remotely piloted dredging system was designed, constructed, and deployed at the Flats as part of the overall site remediation feasibility study. Experience gained over two years of engineering study and contract operation indicates that, although feasible and effective, this alternative is slow, difficult, and very expensive.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the eleventh annual contract report prepared by researchers from CRREL and other Federal agencies for U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska, and U.S. Army Alaska, Public Works, describing the results of research, monitoring, and remediation efforts addressing the white phosphorus contamination in Eagle River Flats, an 865-ha estuarine salt marsh on Fort Richardson, Alaska. Fort Richardson is on the National Priority List, and Eagle River Flats is designated Operable Unit C (OU-C) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This year marks the second of a planned five-year remediation effort in Eagle River Flats. Pond pumping, using six remote-controlled pumps to temporarily drain contaminated ponds within several areas of Eagle River Flats, was conducted again this year. The pumps kept the ponds drained for an extended period during the summer, allowing the pond bottom sediments to dry and the white phosphorus to sublime and oxidize. The logistics continued to be fine-tuned, leading to a more effective and efficient operation this year. The combination of a warm, dry period during the first half of the summer and the successful use of flood gates to prevent flooding tides resulted in a long and effective drying season. Sampling showed that levels of contamination continued to decline, although localized areas of contamination still exist.

Book excerpt: White phosphorus (WP) has been implicated in the deaths of thousands of waterfowl annually at Eagle River Flats (ERF), an estuarine salt marsh located on Fort Richardson near Anchorage, Alaska. The source of WP contamination at ERF was the firing of WP containing munitions into the area by the U.S. military. WP is a well-known toxicant and is lethal to a wide range of species. However, WP contamination at ERF is the first documented case of a U.S. Army munitions impact area contaminated with WP particles. This has led to the designation of ERF as a Superfund site by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Army must follow the guidelines of remediation set by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Numerous studies have been conducted to better characterize the nature and the extent of WP contamination, and treatability studies for remediation processes are currently being implemented. This comprehensive bibliography provides all publications related to WP contamination remediation project at Eagle River Flats through 1998.
