ETC Soil Remediation, A More Efficient Way to Treat Explosives-Contaminated Soil.
After years of sitting dormant, the Army had plans to develop the site into a training facility.

Not only did the ETC soil remediation technology achieve results that exceeded the Industrial Remedial Goal Options (RGO) and EPA regulations, but the site was ready for development in just three months.
