Keynote: Major Robert Lajoie, Canadian Army – Director Land Environment
Description: Over the past several years, DoD has funded a significant body of basic and applied research to gain a better understanding of the munitions constituents (MCs) resulting from military training activities on ranges, to characterize the environmental deposition of MCs on military ranges, and to develop technologies to treat or contain MCs in soil and groundwater. However, the results from these efforts are contained in numerous technical reports and journal articles that are not easily accessible to the operational range community. This session provided an overview of the Best Management Practices for selecting and applying methodologies and technologies to manage MCs on DoD operational testing and training ranges.
