FUDS Overview and Perspective on DoD Research and Development Needs for Environmental Restoration
2011
Coyle, Charles G
The Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) program is a unique program that consolidates eligible, formerly used, DoD sites from any of the 3 services under a single program for environmental restoration purposes. FUDS properties are no longer owned by DoD. Ownership of FUDS properties has been transferred to either private entities; or other federal, state, or local government entities. The scale of the program is indicated by the total cost to complete estimate from FY 2011 ($2.8B). The goal for FUDS IRP is to achieve RC at 90% of the projects by the end of FY 2018. Response complete has been achieved on approximately 59% of all projects. Projects within the FUDS program generally have similar environmental restoration needs and challenges as that of the IRP projects from the 3 DoD services. Persistent chloroethenes plumes are prevalent. Ex-situ groundwater treatment systems are in operation on some of the sites, but progress towards achieving RC appears be very slow on many of the sites with operational groundwater treatment systems. Renewed emphasis on LTMO, and optimization of remedies already in place (with emphasis on green and sustainable methods) are among the important R&D needs that have been identified.
