The Army’s mission follows the Installation Action Plan, a multiyear restoration program. The plan defines the proposed approach and the costs to conduct future investigations and cleanup actions at each potentially contaminated area at the installation. The plan must meet the requirements set by the federal Installation Restoration Program (IRP). This program investigates and, if necessary, cleans up former disposal and test areas, some of which were used before the disposal of chemicals was regulated or even fully understood. RVAAP started the IRP in 1989.
Surveys
of RVAAP indicated 51 areas of potential contamination, based on the known
activities of those areas. Of those areas, 32 are under active investigation
under the IRP. Other sites are being considered under other programs,
and others require no further cleanup.
The RVAAP restoration program staff works closely with the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency to ensure that cleanup processes are conducted properly
and efficiently. The staff also receives input from community groups in
nearby residential areas.
