Values are for surface soils. The following undetected analytes were excluded from the table: HMX, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-
dinitrotoluene, 4-amino-2-nitrotoluene, 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene,1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, 3,5-dinitroaniline,
nitroglycerin, 2,5-dinitrotoluene, 3,4-dinitrotoluene, 3,5-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,5-trinitrotoluene, 2,3,4-trinitrotoluene, 3-nitroaniline.

Location is relative to craters A through F (cross headings). CR = right of center, CL = left of center, C = center, and E = edge of
crater. W = wheel pattern, C = center of wheel, a f = clockwise around wheel circumference.
3
Composite sample.
4
Less than detection limit (see Table 2).
5
Trace detected below mean detection limit (See Table 2).
