History & Location
Located near De Soto, Kansas, the Former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant (SFAAP) encompasses approximately 9,060 acres located 20 miles southwest of Kansas City, Kansas. In 1942, the SFAAP commenced smokeless powder and propellant production for small weaponry, cannons, and rockets. The installation also manufactured and regenerated nitric and sulfuric acids and ammunitions proving. Since 1971, most of the facility has been operationally defunct; Nitroguanidine production ceased in 1992. The current owner of the SFAAP is the Sunflower Redevelopment Limited Liability Corporation (SRL). Across the 9,060-acre expanse of the SFAAP property, there are several high-priority sites, ranging in size and severity of contamination, impacted by munitions-related pollutants.
