Environmental Compliance & Assessment Projects

GBK designed and implemented a sampling protocol to determine the extent, if any, of lead contamination at a disused arms firing range associated with Altus Air Force Base. The field investigation employed magnetometers to identify historical anthropogenic contamination at a macro-scale. Micro-contamination was investigated through field samples and subsequent laboratory analysis by ICP-MS. The investigation followed EPA guidance on using data quality objectives and setting screening limits for the determination of lead contamination at CERCLA sites.
