scattered randomly, and thoroughly, throughout the site. Reclamation efforts over the past<br />
four years have been highly successful (> 90% <strong>of</strong> area is revegetated), although discrete<br />
problematic areas still exist throughout the airport. More detailed information regarding<br />
the soils and reclamation <strong>of</strong> SRAP is provided in Fanning et.al (2004) and an updated<br />
table <strong>of</strong> water quality data is provided on a subsequent page.. Provided on this page are<br />
pictures to show some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the metal and<br />
concrete corrosion at<br />
SRAP. The first<br />
picture shows drain<br />
pipes from a sediment<br />
control pond on the<br />
south side <strong>of</strong> the<br />
airport where the<br />
pipes have been eaten<br />
thru by the acidic<br />
waters. This picture<br />
was taken by Dr.<br />
Daniels <strong>of</strong> Virginia<br />
Tech. The picture at<br />
the bottom <strong>of</strong> the<br />
page, also from Dr.<br />
Daniels, shows<br />
concrete corrosion and iron staining in a “protected” channel on the north side <strong>of</strong> the<br />
airport.<br />
