Exhibition History

Looking Back at Earth: Contemporary Environmental Photography from the Hood Museum of Art Collection, Friends Gallery and the Owen Robertson Cheatham Gallery, Hood Mueum of Art, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, July 7-August 26, 2012.

The Tooele Army Depot is a United States Army post in Utah that serves as a storage site for war ammunitions. Seen in the photograph are aging chemical weapons housed in storage “igloos” waiting to be demilitarized and disposed. When incinerated, they release contaminated ashes over the waters of the Great Salt Lake. These potentially toxic chemicals may survive in residual amounts in the minerals that are extracted from the Lake, which are used in products such as salt lick for livestock and fertilizer. The effects of these chemicals on brine shrimp, a major export product for the state of Utah, are not yet fully understood. Sites such as the Tooele Army Depot are regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), or commonly known as Superfund. The law authorizes federal authorities to intervene in the cleanup of sites that release or can potentially release hazardous substances. The Tooele Army Depot is listed as a high-priority site, meaning that it poses significant threat to public health and the environment.
