INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant (SFAAP) is an inactive Operations Support Command installation being disposed of by GSA. The state of Kansas has expressed interest in obtaining plant property in its entirety. HISTORY Sunflower Army Ammuntion Plan, originally known as the Sunflower Ordnance works, was established in 1941 on 10,747 acres as the world’s largest powder and propellant plant. Production of propellant began in 1943 and played a significant role in U.S. history by providing munitions for three major military conflicts - WWII, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam Conflict. The installation has been determined to be in excess of Army needs, and GSA has begun the process of disposing of all Sunflower property. Additional installation operations included the manufacture and regeneration of nitric and sulfuric acids, and munitions proving. During the course of its 50-plus years of operation various hazardous substances were released both inadvertently and intentionally to the environment. These releases, which are not uncommon at major industrial facilities, were from production line areas and magazine storage areas, and 54 RCRA solid waste management units (SWMU). The EPA proposed listing the installation on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1995. Preliminary and final investigations have been conducted on all SWMU’s. In addition to studying each SWMU, two SWMU’s have received final closure. Studies show that seven SWMU’s will not require any remedial action. Special work perfomed on the plant includes the completion of a community relations plan, conduction of a groundwater investigation, a benthic macroinvertebrate study, grazing study, ecolgical risk assessment, public health assessment (ATSDR), and off-site well survey. The plant has an active RAB that represents a broad range of community views. An active Technical Review Committee consisting of installation personnel, EPA, KDHE, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and contractors meets monthly to discuss restoration activities and devise ways to reduce regulatory impediments.
