The Da Nang Airport is referred to as a dioxin “hot spot” due to the
high levels of dioxin in the soils and sediments decades after large
amounts of Agent Orange were stored and handled there during the Viet
Nam War. The Environmental Remediation at Da Nang Airport Project is one
of the highest priority activities of the United States Government in
Viet Nam.
The dioxin remediation process at Da Nang Airport involves the
excavation of contaminated soil and sediment from the project site,
including the removal of contaminated sediment from Sen Lake and an
associated wetland system located in close proximity to residential
areas. The excavated material will be transported to an on-site pile
structure for remediation through the thermal desorption process.
