EV74 - CEL 4: History and Overview of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (Hackett)Orange B 06:45 - 07:45 |
| The Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) has a 45-year history of identifying and cleaning up legacy sites from the nation’s initial atomic weapons development during the Manhattan Project and early days of the Atomic Energy Commission. This lecture presents an overview of the work performed by the Manhattan Engineer District as well as the history of FUSRAP from its initial execution by the Department of Energy (DOE), through the transition of FUSRAP execution from DOE to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) following congressional mandate in the late 1990s, to the present-day roles and responsibilities of both agencies in the program. A discussion of the FUSRAP site life cycle and the eligibility process for new sites is also provided. Case studies of several sites (both completed and active) are presented to highlight specific technical and regulatory issues common to FUSRAP sites. |
