US Army Camp Bonneville cleanup

Based on this visit and reviewing documents, we make several recommendations in the periodic review report:

• Amend cleanup action plans where needed to add more institutional controls and clarify existing control requirements.
• Amend consent decree to clarify which organization or agency is responsible for what work.
• Identify additional protective covenants needed to ensure long-term protectiveness of cleanup.
• Create long-term operations and maintenance manual, as required in the existing cleanup action plan and consent decree.

We invite you to review and comment on the:

• Draft First Periodic Review Report, which explains these recommendations.
• Updated public participation plan. This plan describes how we will contact the public about this site, and provide opportunities for public input.
