ADDENDUM : EPA Summary : "To safeguard human health and the environment, EPA and the Department of Defense (DoD) must address the contamination legacy left by military munitions and explosives of concern (MEC). MEC are unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other hazardous munitions materials left behind from military live-fire training or testing, open burning and open detonation, and munitions treatment, destruction and burial activities. 

 

According to a December 2003 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, DoD suspects or acknowledges contamination by military munitions of an estimated 15 million acres of land. DoD estimates cleanup of these sites will cost from $8 billion to $35 billion. DoD transferred control of millions of acres of land used for manufacturing munitions to non-Federal entities or other Federal agencies to use for purposes other than their original intent. Most of these properties are now Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). 

 

The actual and potential human health and environmental effects of exposure to MEC or munitions constituents can vary from localized to widespread. Besides the obvious danger of exploding UXO, harm can also result when humans and the environment are exposed to chemical warfare agents or other hazardous substances used in munitions. Contamination of soil and groundwater is a big concern. "

2. US MILITARY MUNITIONS RESPONSE PROGRAM : SITE SPECIFIC US MILITARY RESPONSE PROGRAM : ARMY CLEANUP PROGRAM : MMRP
3. US MILITARY CLEANUP COMPLIANCE PROGRAM " The Compliance-related Cleanup (CC) program manages the cleanup of contaminated Army lands that are not eligible for Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) funding. Compliance-related Cleanup generally includes sites on Army active (including Reserve) and Army overseas installations. This program also includes cleanup at federally-owned as well as non-federally owned, but federally-supported Army National Guard (ARNG) sites."

12. EPA REPORT : SOMETIMES MILITARY SITES ARE INCLUDED INTO SUPERFUND SITES LISTINGS "The federal government is involved in all of the sites that fall under the Federal Facilities and Superfund Program umbrella. Sometimes the federal representative is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as the lead regulator for sites listed on the National Priorities or Superfund List. Sometimes the federal representative is a component of the Department of Defense (DOD), because the problems at the site are the result of past military activity. Sometimes a military facility has been placed on the Superfund list and both EPA and DOD are involved.
    No matter what federal agency or agencies are involved, federal law requires that the investigation and remedial action at these sites meet state standards, criteria, regulations and guidelines. The state plays a role in remedy selection and the state is the sole regulator at most federal facilities."
13. "Defense Environmental Restoration Program : Military Munitions Recovery Program

    The Superfund law imposes requirement on the federal government, including DOD, to identify and address environmental problems for past activities at current and former military installations even when the release or potential release is not eligible for the NPL.

    In addition to the former Loring Air Force Base and the active Navy bases in Kittery and Brunswick , a number of active, recently closed and transferred, and former defense facilities are scattered across Maine .

    The unit coordinates the State's response to all environmental restoration activities at current and former military sites, including Formerly Utilized Defense Sites (FUDS).  Restoration activities range from underground tank removals, and site assessments to corrective action, complex groundwater and soil remediation projects, community relations, negotiation of cleanup agreements, and other tasks.

    Military Munitions Response Program

    DOD recently began to separate its investigation, cleanup and funding efforts for closed military ranges. Ranges are very broadly defined and include pistol and rifle ranges, skeet ranges, practice bombing ranges, and areas used for testing chemical weapons. To date only minimal training and information has been available on former ranges. Congress has directed DOD to develop a list of munitions sites, including FUDS, and regulations have been drafted for reprioritizing these sites. The proposed regulations address potential hazards posed by munitions constituents and media contaminated by explosive wastes."
