Shooting Ranges:
BMPs vs. Cleanup
![Page 2: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care?
• The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste . . .
. . . as long as it stays on the range or goes to recycling.
So, BMPs to help keep the lead where it belongs.
![Page 3: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
BMPs: What they are
• Shooting range design considerations and operational procedures employed to better contain, concentrate and manage projectiles and other materials in a way that will minimize impacts to the environment;
• Strictly voluntary measures that can minimize range liability;
• Documented to be successful
![Page 4: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
BMPs: What they aren’t
• Not a regulatory program requirement;
• Not a guarantee that a site can close without some measure of cleanup;
• Not a shield for third party legal action against the range operation;
• Not uniform in application, and must be tailored to site specific conditions.

BMPs: What is being managed?
• Primarily lead in metallic form of bullets and shotgun pellets;
• Secondary metals antimony, arsenic, copper and zinc;
• Broken skeet targets- Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs);
• Containment features such as soil berms.

Florida’s BMPs are organized into a brief Introduction,
then two chapters of specific range siting and management guidance
followed by reference materials in 16 Appendices.
![Page 13: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Introduction presents plain English goals and expectations for ranges to establish proper management and environmental stewardship
and a five-step approach to lead management.
![Page 14: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Hurlburt Air Force Base, Fort Walton Beach, FL
Utilizes ACTION Target Systems at two bullet trap ranges.
The two ranges cost about $300,000.
![Page 28: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The bullet is trapped by the steel plates in front, and channeled into a deceleration chamber, then into a bucket.
Vacuum with hepa-filter collects lead dust from the chambers.

Lead vs. Steel Shot
• Use required for waterfowl hunting over lakes, rivers and bays;
• Some research indicates that collocation with steel shot increases the corrosion rate lead shot thereby increasing lead mobility;
• Purely academic issue at present, but might be a concern for long term use of steel shot at ranges.

Range Environmental Management Goals
• Range environmental management goal– Manage potential detrimental impacts posed by range
activities to the environment, public health or public welfare
• Range environmental management objectives– Keep lead on-site and in its metallic form
– Prevent surface migration of lead and other hazardous constituents
– Prevent projectiles from impacting wetlands or surface waters
– Prevent projectiles from landing off property
– Reduce noise impacts to surrounding properties

Cleanup at Shooting Ranges
• Location of ranges in Florida;
• Potential range contaminants;
• Operational areas likely to be contaminated;
• Select assessment sampling topics;
• Typical remedial technologies;
• Site cleanup closure.

Knight’s Trail Park in Sarasota County, near Venice, FL
It’s all about the lead, stupid!

Metallic lead is subject to breakdown into bio-available and toxic form;
Lead has no biological benefit; Not naturally elevated above
risk based levels; High percent of ranges have
years/decades of accumulation; Most ranges have not implemented
lead recovery programs or BMPs that effectively manage lead.

Lead Mobility
• Metallic lead insoluble;
• Pb + O2 lead oxide, hydroxide, etc. (soluble)
• pH < 7– increased dissolution;
• Precipitation rate affected by presence of metals with greater solubility;
• Organic matter and clays may provide considerable sorption and arrest transport.

Arsenic is a known human carcinogen; Associated with lead at outdoor ranges; Naturally present in Florida soils with
concentrations that often exceed risk based corrective action criteria;
More soluble and mobile than lead.

Select Assessment Topics
• Soil screening for lead and arsenic using X-ray fluorescence (XRF);
• Soil sample sieving;• TCLP and SPLP analysis;• Clay target fragments / PAHs.

XRF Screening
• Can quickly define widespread areas of gross metals contamination;
• Equipment is rugged and portable;
• Cost effective for large scale assessment;
• Confirmation by laboratory analysis is needed for contamination boundary
• Interference with collocated metals.

To sieve or not to sieve?
• Field samples are often sieved using a #10-mesh screen for extraneous matter;
• Laboratories often use #10 & #30-mesh screen sieves for soil during sample prep;
• Should sieve prepared XRF samples;• End use of results should figure into
extent of soil sample matrix separation.

• Contain PAHs, non-toxic and not bio-available;
• Broken target fragments are solid waste;• Impacts are limited to very near surface
unless accumulation zone soil is reworked;• Targets now available that don’t contain
PAHs.

Remedial Options:
• Dig and Haul;
• Soil washing/Particle separation;
• Soil stabilization/solidification;
• Chemical extraction.
![Page 89: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Regulatory Perspective
• Depending on conditions at the range and range siting, different federal and state environmental laws may apply– Clean Water Act– Wetlands Protection Act– RCRA
![Page 90: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
RCRA Requirements
• Lead bullets/shot are not a solid or hazardous waste when discharged; no RCRA permit is required;
• Recycled lead bullets are considered a scrap metal and exempt from RCRA waste management;
• Processed reclamation soil is RCRA exempt if reused in backstop or shotfall areas at an active range;
• Soil removed from range site must be characterized;• Lead left in media after a range closes is subject to a
RCRA 7002/7003 cleanup order if it poses harm.
![Page 91: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Site Cleanup Closure
• Closure plan required at time of changing land use;
• BMP Manual has checklist of major items that need to be included;
• RCRA waste management concerns can be addressed early in remediation order;
• Florida Legislature mandated that “principals of risk-based corrective action” be utilized regarding cleanup at ranges.
![Page 92: Shooting Ranges: BMPs vs. Cleanup. SHOOTING RANGES: Why do we Care? The lead deposited on a range is not hazardous waste...... as long as it stays on](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bc778550346b9588b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Cleanup at Shooting Ranges
When is a range subject to RBCA ?• Usually when there is a range closure and
change in land use;• Third party complaint for offsite contamination;• The range owner(s) may request assistance
from the Department with site assessment.
