Alabama Army Ammunition Plant
The Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (ALAAP), was a United States munitions plant built and operated during World War II. The facility is located a four miles (6 km) north of Childersburg, Alabama in Talladega County, Alabama.
==History==
The ALAAP was built in 1941 as a production facility for nitrocellulose (NC), trinitrotoluene (TNT), dinitrotoluene (DNT), tetryl, and single-base smokeless powder.〔 The facility, operated by DuPont, had a peak production rate of nearly 40 million pounds (18 million kg) of munitions per month. It also produced heavy water for the Manhattan Project.〔United States Army Environmental Center Base Closure Division, (Site Management Plan; Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Talladega County, Alabama ), May 10, 1995. Page 22.〕 The facility ceased operation in August 1945 and was placed on standby status after the end of the war.〔United States Army Environmental Center Base Closure Division, (Site Management Plan; Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Talladega County, Alabama ), May 10, 1995. Pages 5-6.〕 During the war, the plant covered more than 13,000 acres (53 km²).
After the end of the war, various portions of the plant were leased out for commercial operations. Most of the original structures have been destroyed, although the government retains responsibility for more than 2,000 acres (8 km²) of the facility.
It is now considered a Superfund site.
