Milan Army Ammunition Plant (MAAP) lies in both Carroll and Gibson Counties, Tennessee. Past operations have resulted in the contamination of environmental media with a variety of explosives-related compounds, including RDX, TNT, HMX, tetryl, and heavy metals. In the past, wastewaters from LAP Line activities were discharged to concrete-lined sumps or unlined ponds where the settling of explosives occurred. Potential pathways include consumption of potentially contaminated game, livestock, and crops grown on MAAP and exposure to wind-borne contaminants arising from open-burning of explosives.
