Load Line 11 Fuze and Booster (RVAAP 44)

    This AOC operated from 1941 to 1945 to produce primers for artillery projectiles. Load Line 11 was placed in standby in 1945. From 1951 to 1957 LL-11 was used to produce primers and  fuzes.    The relative risk site evaluation was completed in 1998 by USACHPPM. The surface soil, ground water, and sediment pathways are considered complete. Five surface soil samples were collected from outside of the production buildings and analyzed for explosives and metals. The buildings were selected based on the production use. Emphasis was placed on those buildings that were used to produce and store explosives. One sediment sample was collected from a drainage ditch running north from the load line. Data collected from RVAAP-26, Fuze and Booster Area Settling Tanks, was used to score the ground water pathway at the AOC. The subsurface soil used to estimate the ground water pathway was collected adjacent to the settling tank immediately east of Building AP-3.
