Incorporating Innovative Technologies to Meet DoD Restoration Goals from Remedy in Place to Response Complete
Wednesday, November 30, 8:30–11:45 am
International Ballroom West (Concourse Level)

Chairs:  Ms. Kim Parker Brown, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Headquarters – Environmental Restoration Division and Mr. Charles Coyle, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Environmental and Munitions Center of Expertise

Keynote:  Dr. Richard Anderson, Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment – Restoration Branch

Description:  DoD’s Installation Restoration Program has set goals to achieve Response Complete (RC) at 90 percent of sites at active installations and Formerly Used Defense Sites properties by FY 2018 and to achieve RC at 95 percent of these sites by FY 2021. Despite substantial progress made in the past 20 years, significant challenges still remain for remediation of contaminated groundwater at some sites. The Cost to Complete is generally driven by high remedial costs at these difficult sites. Given the current DoD restoration goals, future research and demonstration efforts need to be integrated with current practices. This session covered the current cleanup goals and management processes of the different Services and provided a forum for discussing how innovative technologies can be incorporated into existing restoration goals to minimize the Cost to Complete.
