Establishing technology development centers at closing California bases
- Office of Military Facilities, Sacramento, CA (United States). Dept. of Toxic Substances Control
The challenges posed by remediating closing bases offers a special opportunity for California`s environmental technology companies, former defense contractors and Californians in general. One of the most important factors in the successful remediation and reuse of closing bases is the development of new cleanup technologies. At present, there is no method for effectively remediating some kinds of contamination found at military bases. Cal/EPA is in the process of working with the Western Governors` Association Wastes at Military Bases Workgroup to create a strategic plan that will integrate federal, state and local technology development programs. The proposed strategic plan will include a blueprint to help guide proposed technology development centers in California to a portion of the market yet to be addressed by other centers within the state, thus eliminating intra-state competition for the same market. By addressing this issue in a proactive manner, California will demonstrate to the federal government that tax dollars utilized to support technology development centers sited at closing California bases will be present in an efficient and cost effective manner.
