HOURS: 7:30-4:00 Mon-Fri

The IRP is the environmental cleanup program at the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) with the goal to investigate, identify and clean up hazardous waste conditions which exist due to past activities at the Superfund site. AFCEE assumed program management responsibility on May 1, 1996, and quickly established a strategic plan with a detailed schedule of milestones to address several areas of groundwater contamination (plumes) containing solvents or fuel additives associated with past practices at the base.

The IRP has accomplished most source area cleanup actions such as excavation and thermal treatment of soil at chemical or fuel spill sites; air sparging and vapor extraction of residual aircraft fuel which leaked from an underground pipeline near the base's northeast boundary; and removal of old drainage structures with remediation of the affected soils nearby. Most groundwater extraction, treatment, and reinjection systems are in place. Sixty-one of 80 source areas were formerly delisted from the Superfund list in 2007.

A major driving force in these cleanup efforts continues to be the active and involved community of the Upper Cape. The 2003 IRP Community Involvement Plan identifies the many ways in which the Air Force continues to achieve community-based decisions in the execution of the program. These include a community advisory group, the Plume Cleanup Team (PCT), which meets periodically in a public forum to advise the IRP team (AFCEE, contractors, and regulatory agencies) on technical and community involvement issues to achieve solutions that benefit from public representation.

PUBLICATIONS: A groundwater plume booklet and news releases are available to better acquaint interested members of the public with the various aspects of the program. Copies of documents for public comment are provided to each of the main libraries in Falmouth, Mashpee, Sandwich, and Bourne. Interested parties are encouraged to sign up for the IRP mailing list (see website or contact Doug Karson, above) to receive information updates about the program. The IRP website contains all of the referenced documents. There is also a link on the website to the Administrative Record that contains all decision- making documents for the project (reports, correspondence, agreements, etc.).

FEES: Documents are generally provided free of charge, but fees may be charged for reports if extra copies are not available.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS: Periodic public meeting of Plume Cleanup Team (PCT), comprised of members of the community, focusing on various issues or aspects of the IRP program. Other informational public meetings as needed. Public attendance is strongly encouraged. Special programs to encourage greater public awareness and participation in IRP activities include: tours of sites; annual briefings of Boards of Health and Selectmen in Falmouth, Mashpee, Bourne, and Sandwich; speakers available upon request.
