Chair: Ms. Tracie White, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
Keynote: Mr. Andrew Schwartz, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville
Description: Until recently, it has been common practice to dig every target on the detection list during a munitions response, with the result that often as few as one percent of the items excavated are actually hazardous. Innovative munitions response technologies offer a rigorous, effective, and transparent method for classifying and distinguishing between harmless subsurface scrap and dangerous buried UXO. These technologies are now making a transition to the field through demonstrations on live munitions response sites. Presentations in this first of two sessions focused on technology developments demonstrated in the 2011 demonstrations.
