Abstract
AbstractAs a result of downsizing, many Department of Defense (DOD) bases in California are being closed. The economic dislocations caused by base closure are a major policy concern, and the successful economic conversion of these bases has become a top priority within state government.1 Still, conversion cannot proceed unless and until the hazardous wastes present at these installations are remediated. The expeditious cleanup and productive reuse of these installations implicate a broad range of federal, state, and local interests. Given the magnitude of the undertaking, the efficient cleanup and closure of these federal facilities will require close cooperation between DOD and relevant state agencies. This article discusses recent planning activities by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) in the areas of base cleanup and closure. This article explains why CDFG is involved, discusses the development of a CDFG Base Cleanup Team, and describes the anticipated benefits that will result from CDFG participation.
