Short description: This is the eighteenth annual contract report prepared by researchers from CRREL and other Federal agencies for the U.S. Army Garrison Alaska, Public Works, describing results of research, remediation, and monitoring efforts addressing white phosphorus (WP) contamination in Eagle River Flats, an 865-ha estuarine salt marsh on Fort Richardson, Alaska. Over the five-year period from 1999-2003, full-scale remediation was performed at Eagle River Flats using six remote-controlled pumps to temporarily drain contaminated ponds, allowing the sediments to dry and the WP to oxidize. This effort successfully remediated about 90% of the ponds. More recently, limited remediation using one or two pumps has been conducted to address the remaining few white-phosphorus-contaminated areas
