Fort Hood Water Quality Monitoring and Revegetation Program
III Corps and Garrison Command, Fort Hood, Texas, the largest Army base in the free world, seeks to revegetate grasslands where heavy artillery traffic from training activities has disturbed soils and largely denuded the land of vegetation. Congressional funds have been provided to implement a pilot project to develop the science and guidelines necessary to demonstrate the efficacy of seeding grasses into soil amended with manure-based compost from regional producers. The project is expected to promote rapid seed growth, reducing the risk, time and cost of vegetation establishment.
