INTRODUCTION
Background
Across the country, thousands of Federal facilities are contaminated with hazardous
waste, unexploded ordnance, radioactive waste, fuels, and a variety of other toxic
contaminants. These facilities include many different types of sites, such as abandoned
mines, nuclear weapons production plants, fuel distribution areas, and landfills. The
Department of Defense (DoD) is responsible for more than 21.000 potentially contami-
nated sites, the Department of Energy (DOE) for more than 10.000. and the Department
of the Interior (DOI) for more than 26.000. There aJso are environmental challenges
facing other Federal entities, although to a lesser degree.
To facilitate cleanup and reuse, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
taken on a major role in forging proactive, creative solutions to environmental problems
at Federal facilities. Within EPA, there are several offices thai conduct activities relating
to Federal facilities.
To overcome the difficulties posed by contamination at Federal facilities, EPA's Federal
Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO) works with DoD. DOE. and other
Federal entities to help them develop solutions to their environmental problems.
FFRRO'j overall mission is to facilitate faster, more effective, and less costly cleanup and
reuse of Federal facilities. By focusing on teamwork, innovation, and public involve-
ment. FFRRO and its regional counterparts work with Federal agencies to improve
environmental cleanup, while protecting and strengthening the conditions of human
health, the environment, and local economies.
EPA's Federal Facilities Enforcement Office (FFEO) is responsible for ensuring that
Federal facilities take ail. necessary actions to prevent, control, and abate environmental
pollution. FFEO participates in enforcement negotiations, oversees compliance assist*
ance enforcement activities undertaken by the regions, and is responsible for resolving
enforcement disputes between EPA and other agencies.
About This Catalog
FFHRO developed the Caiclog of Mazmriah on Fetltral FacHutts Rtstormion and Reus*
in response to requests for information ibout resources currently available oi cleanup
and reuse of Federal facilities. Designed for quick reference, the catalog contains
summary information about each document, cost and ordering information, the Internet
location, and other useful information.
The catalog is organized into five subject categories:
» Base realignment and closure
Property transfer, reuse, and liability
Remedy selection
Information sources
Stakeholder involvement and public outreach
Some documents may appear in more than one subject category.
