CSWAB Reviews Groundwater Results for Badger Ammo

Citizens for Safe Water Around Badger (CSWAB) has completed a review  
of recently-released environmental reports by the U.S. Army at Badger  
Army Ammunition Plant. Army testing indicates that groundwater  
quality is improving in certain areas in and around the former  
munitions site and is showing persistent or new problems in others.  
We have published a series of new groundwater quality maps showing  
these areas.  They are posted at end of this update.

Of the 69 residential wells tested by the U.S. Army in 2013, no  
exceedances of the health-based Wisconsin Groundwater Enforcement  
Standard (ES) were reported. Low levels of the explosive  
dinitrotoluene (DNT), below the ES, were detected in several  
residential wells located southeast of the plant near Gruber’s Grove  
Bay. Health officials said that these private wells are considered  
safe to use.
