The US Army is completing installation restoration activities at over 170 Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs) on Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah. Efforts are focused on closure activities at 42 SWMUs in accordance with a State of Utah-mandated Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Stipulation and Consent Order, as well as RCRA Facility Investigation activities at over 130 SWMUs in accordance with the RCRA Part B Permit. Technical and administrative aspects of these requirements and the approach the US Army has taken to meet these requirements will be discussed. Additionally, unique aspects of performing environmental work at an installation involved with the testing and development of chemical and biological weapons will be described. Particular discussions will focus on schedule, health and safety requirements, laboratory screening and analytical requirements, and the logistical challenges associated with mobilizing field crews at a remote military installation. Lessons learned based on actual experiences to date will be mentioned.
