Range Soil Decontamination

The only acceptable remediation method is removing and disposing (as hazmat) of the first 20cm or more of Topsoil, keep removing topsoil until the exposed layer is free of contamination, then add non-contaminated backfill, tamp, and repeat.

Get a shovel and start digging. If you process the mess you might be able to sell the sceap lead and copper.


You can't magic it out

why not just leave it? future lead and copper deposit for someone to mine.

>>32581262
Yes, you can: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15717783

If you don't HAVE to get rid of it, but don't want to be walking on it, just put fill on top of it.

Otherwise do this:

To save money, dig it yourself into the cheapest barrels possible and attempt to sell it

Did you even read it yourself? At no point did they magic it or explain their process.

They literally used that entire page to say
>There was lead
>We "soil extraction techniques" (dug it up)
>Washed soil in detergent ans clay
>Now have clean soil and dirty lead clay

I have no idea but make sure you're using proper safety equipment that includes full respirators and bodysuits

Otherwise this is how you get lead poisoning.

If you're not pressed for time, phytoremediations (plant based remediation) can work if the contamination isn't too deep.
My MS thesis was a heavy metal phytoremediation project, and we saw positive results using corn plants.

Are you suggesting we use cornfields in Nebraska as target ranges for A-10s?

hardware cloth, wood, shovel.

The little particles of lead will be impossible to remove without some type of chemical.

>>32582170
Nebraska is bro tier. San Francisco is a better target

>>32582245
San Francisco doesn't have corn, though, just bundles of sticks.

Out of curiosity, did you study cannabis as well? The Ruskies have been using C. Ruderalis to soak up contamination around Chernobyl for years.

For obvious reasons cannabis wouldn't have been allowed. One of the criteria for selection was a species that was readily available and cheap. Corn and alfalfa were our primary picks.

What obvious reasons? Many universities are allowed to conduct cannabis research and there's ample evidence that cannabis is effective in phytoremediation.

Maybe if it had been a doctoral research project conducted at A&M in cooperation with a state or federal agency we could have sold it. But I attended a smaller university, and shit I had trouble securing the usage of tobacco plans for my concurrent mercury remediation project.

Jesus.

>>32581239
line the entire range with concrete surface. then all you have to do is sweep it up once a week and sell it to fishermen

>San Francisco

He said cornfields. CORNFIELDS.
Not cornholes.

Deaf fuck.
