Load Line 2 (RVAAP 09)

    From approximately 1941 to 1971, building wash-down water and waste water from the load line operations were collected in concrete sumps, pumped through the sawdust filtration units and then discharged to a settling pond. Building wash-down water from the melt-pour buildings was also swept out through the doorways onto the ground surrounding the buildings. The settling pond was an unlined triangular-shaped pond approximately 2 acres in size and 6 to 8 feet deep. Water from the impoundment was discharged to a surface stream that exited the installation. Contaminants of concern at this unit are explosive compounds and heavy metals (lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury). There is a high potential for releases from this unit to the soils, surface water/sediments, and groundwater.
