GLOSSARY

Military Sites - Department of Defense Program

Decades of defense activities have degraded water quality on and around federally-owned facilities. Working with other agencies, the Regional Boards are involved with remedial investigation and cleanup actions. Agreements with the Department of Defense provide for accelerated cleanups at military bases and other Defense sites scheduled for closure and reuse. Site investigation and cleanup procedures are consistent with State laws and regulations as well as applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) which guides the federal Superfund program.

Active Remediation

Active remediation comprises the phase(s) of work where the actual construction or implementation of activities to accomplish cleanup at a site occurs. Active remedy includes: Interim remedial cleanup actions and final remedial cleanup actions that are intended to substantially address site pollution; Monitored natural attenuation, if that was the result of a remedy-selection process (e.g. through an approved CAP/RAP). Active remedy does not include: Pilot studies for remedies that are being considered; "Monitor only" cases that have not yet gone through the remedy selection process.
