Applied Innovative Technologies for Characterization of Explosives-Contaminated DoD Building Foundations and Underlying Soils
Badger Army Ammunition Plant (BAAP) is included in the first group of 13 inactive Army ammunition plants with transitioning missions. Installation Management Agency currently manages these plants and is in varying stages of transferring the properties out of Department of Defense (DoD) control. To a...
