2. The purpose of FUSRAP is to cleanup Radioactive Waste from nuclear weapons development and production activities during the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, during wartime under the Manhattan Engineering District and subsequent peacetime when such activities were managed under the Atomic Energy Commission. All of the FUSRAP sites are contaminated with low level radioactive waste and mixed waste, resulting from the nuclear weapon development activities, during wartime when such activities were managed by the Corps of Engineers the Manhattan Engineering District (MED), and during subsequent peacetime when such activities were managed by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). By act of congress, AEC subsquently divested all their responsibilities to the newly created DOE and NRC.

11. FUSRAP

12. FURSRAP Site Distribution Of the 400 potential FUSRAP sites screened by DOE, only 46 sites in 14 States were identified for funding and remediation that began by DOE in 1981. Between 1981 and 1997, the DOE completed cleanup at 25 sites and partially remediated 13 additional sites. Remediation remains at 21 sites in 8 states: Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maryland. Some of these sites are on the NPL. DOE identified a potential for 18 additional sites which are currently not part of the Program.

13. FUSRAP Workload This table is a presentation of the our estimated workload by district and fiscal year. We received $140M in each of FY98 and FY99 the administration has approved a budget of $150M for FY2000. With optimum funding in 2001 through 2006 we anticipate that we can still achieve program completion by 2006 for a total $1.56B.

14. DuPont Site - FUSRAP

15. Wayne Site - FUSRAP Our Plan: The Corps will remediate FUSRAP sites in accordance with the CERCLA process We will involve all stakeholders as early as possible and throughout the process. We will execute FUSRAP effectively and efficiently while ensuring protection of human health and the environment We are reviewing cleanup criteria and disposal alternatives We will use risk based assessments We will be looking closer at proven innovative technologies to reduce volumes and save money.Our Plan: The Corps will remediate FUSRAP sites in accordance with the CERCLA process We will involve all stakeholders as early as possible and throughout the process.
