lake city army ammunition plant (northwest lagoon)

JCT OF HWY 7 & HWY 78

The Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) is a 3,935-acre government owned-contractor operated (GOCO) facility that was established in 1941 to manufacture and test small caliber ammunition for the U.S. Army. The facility has remained in continuous operation except for one 5-year period following World War II. Historically, waste treatment and disposal at LCAAP occurred on-site and relied on lagoons, landfills, and burn pits for waste disposal. Industrial operations have generated large quantities of potentially hazardous wastes and hazardous substances, including solvents, oils, greases, explosives, radionuclides, perchlorates, and metals. LCAAP uses treated groundwater from 13 on-site production wells to provide drinking and process water for plant operations. The small community of Lake City, population approximately 25, is located adjacent to the northern boundary of the Installation, and relies on groundwater obtained from private wells. The Missouri River and Little Blue River, located near the site, are used for recreational activities. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed by the Army with oversight provided by EPA and the State of Missouri.
