10Recurring Review for Camp Elliott- Tierrasanta
and Mission Trials
- Purpose
- The purpose of Recurring Reviews for MEC
response actions is to determine if a response
action continues to minimize explosives safety
risks and continues to be protective of human
health, safety, and the environment. - Recurring Reviews every 5 years
11Recurring Review for Camp Elliott- Tierrasanta
and Mission Trials
- The Recurring review will answer three general
questions - Is the response functioning as intended?
- Are the assumptions used at the time of response
selection still valid? - Does new information indicate that the
previously selected response no longer minimizes
explosive safety risks or is no longer protective
of human health, safety, and the environment
considering the best available technology?
12Recurring Review for Camp Elliott- Tierrasanta
and Mission Trials
- Main Project Activities
- Establish the review team and begin community
involvement activities. - Review existing documentation.
- Identify/review new information and current site
conditions. - Prepare a preliminary site analysis and workplan.
- Conduct a site visit (Summer of 2005).
- Prepare the Recurring Review Report.
13Recurring Review for Camp Elliott- Tierrasanta
and Mission Trials
- Review Existing Documentation
- Review existing documentation to become familiar
with the site history and implemented response
actions. - The review will accomplish the following
objectives - Determine what actions were completed at the
site. - Determine where unexploded ordnance (UXO) are
suspected or were located, if applicable, and
document the basis for this determination. - Identify and evaluate the basis for selection of
the response action (e.g. land use, site
accessibility, etc.). - Determine if there is an immediate threat to
human health, safety or environment that requires
further response.
14Recurring Review for Camp Elliott- Tierrasanta
and Mission Trials
- Identify/review New Information and Current Site
conditions - Identify readily available information regarding
the site that has become available since
implementation of the response action or since
the last Recurring Review. - Gather information pertaining to the following
areas - Development at the site or in the vicinity of the
site - Erosion
- Recreational or other activities at the site or
in the vicinity of the site - Fire (Cedar fire)
- Storm Damage (uprooted trees, etc)
- Changes in land use at the site and in the
vicinity of the site, both actual and potential - Changes in accessibility to the site
- OE incidents and status of land use controls
15Recurring Review for Camp Elliott- Tierrasanta
and Mission Trials
- Recurring Review Report
- The report will record all activities and data
gathered during the recurring review. - The report will contain an analysis of the
information gathered to determine if the original
response action is still protecting human health
and the environment from risks associated with
military munitions. - The report will contain recommendations and
suggested improvements. - The draft report will be available for public
comment.
16Public Support of Recurring Review
- The public can support our efforts by
- Providing responses to our on-line public
questionnaire located at http//www.surveymonkey.c
om/s.asp?u60581901389 - Review of Recurring Report when it is available
17Public Involvement Plan
- USACE is developing a Public Involvement Plan to
facilitate and promote two-way communication and
to encourage community involvement in
site-related activities - This plan records how and whom we will
communicate our activities in the FUDS project
areas. - This plan will be available for public review and
comment.
