When executing the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the framework of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). Each site may have multiple operable units, each in their own phase of the CERCLA process.
USACE is committed to informing and involving the public as it progresses through the decision-making process for each site. USACE coordinates response actions with the appropriate federal and/or state environmental regulatory agencies on all sites.
Two years after USACE completes a response action and final closeout activities at a FUSRAP site, that site, along with responsibility for any necessary long-term stewardship, is transferred to the Department of Energy’s Office of Legacy Management.
