| Short description: |
This is the eighteenth annual contract report
prepared by researchers from CRREL and other Federal agencies
for the U.S. Army Garrison Alaska, Public Works, describing
results of research, remediation, and monitoring efforts
addressing white phosphorus (WP) contamination in Eagle River
Flats, an 865-ha estuarine salt marsh on Fort Richardson,
Alaska. Over the five-year period from 1999-2003, full-scale
remediation was performed at Eagle River Flats using six
remote-controlled pumps to temporarily drain contaminated ponds,
allowing the sediments to dry and the WP to oxidize. This effort
successfully remediated about 90% of the ponds. More recently,
limited remediation using one or two pumps has been conducted to
address the remaining few white-phosphorus-contaminated areas
