Introduction The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting investigation and remediation activities at the Former Camp Adair /Adair Air Force Station (Camp Adair), located approximately nine miles north of Corvallis, Oregon under the authorities of the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites (DERP-FUDS). Under the DERP-FUDS program, USACE has the following existing or former projects for Camp Adair (Site No. F10OR002900): • Containerized Hazardous, Toxic, or Radioactive Waste (CON/HTRW) – Project No. F10OR002901 was approved in 1992. Ten Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) were removed in 1994 (EPJCE, 1995), although No [further] Department of Defense Action Indicated (NDAI) status was not achieved. This project was closed in 2006. • Building Demolition/Debris Removal (BD/DR) – Project No. F10OR002902 was approved in 1992. One high brick chimney was demolished and disposed, one partially completed mobile missile facility was filled, 10 man-holes in the Camp Adair cantonment area were filled, and 33 manhole covers were replaced in the Camp Adair cantonment area. No additional work was identified. This project is currently closed. • Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) – Project No. F10OR002903 was approved in 2000. An MMRP Site Inspection Report for Camp Adair was completed in 2007 (USACE, 2007b). This project is currently in progress. • Hazardous, Toxic, or Radioactive Waste (HTRW) – Project No. F10OR002904 was approved in 2007. A Site Investigation Report was completed in 2012 followed by a Background Desktop Exercise Technical Memorandum in 2014. This project is currently in progress. Under the HTRW and CON/HTRW projects, USACE has performed multiple investigation and cleanup actions. These activities have included underground storage tank (UST) decommissioning activities, a draft Preliminary Assessment (PA; USACE, 2007a), an HTRW Site Investigation (SI; USACE, 2011a), and a Background Desktop Exercise

  • Recommended Best Management Practices for the Western Pond Turtle on Department of Defense Installations
    Department of Defense Legacy Resource Management Program Recommended Best Management Practices for the Western Pond Turtle on Department of Defense Installations Department of Defense Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation December 2020 Introduction The Northwestern Pond Turtle, Actinemys marmorata, and Southwestern Pond Turtle, Actinemys pallida (collectively referred to as “Western pond turtle” in this document) is a species for which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has been petitioned for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Western pond turtles are also on the Department of Defense at- risk herpetofaunal species priority list. The Department of Defense (DoD), through its Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) network, and the USFWS have developed Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the Western pond turtle. The management practices described in this document were developed specifically for DoD installations, but are also suitable for implementation off of DoD installations. The management practices described in this report are intended as guidelines that DoD natural resource managers can use to help plan, prioritize, and implement conservation and management actions that provide a conservation benefit to the Western pond turtle, while also providing information to comply with regulatory processes such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and associated components (i.e., Categorical Exclusions, Environmental Assessments, and Environmental Impact Statements). Implementation of these BMPs should not impede military readiness activities, should be documented in installation Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans (INRMPs), and should align with existing efforts among the DoD, federal/state governmental agencies, and non- governmental organizations (NGOs) to prevent this species’ continued decline and preclude its listing under the ESA.

To date, no comprehensive agency-wide inventory of amphibian and reptile species has been compiled. We developed an amphibian and reptile species inventory for 415 DoD installations/sites and evaluated species diversity. The amphibian and reptile species confrmed present on DoD sites represent 66% of the total native species documented in the continental U.S. Snakes are the most widespread group found on DoD lands. Of the military services, Army sites have the greatest number of confrmed species, federally listed, state-listed, and At-risk species.

  • Base Structure Report Provides an Understanding of the Scope and Purpose of Dod Base Structure As It Was at the End of Fiscal Year 1999 (September 30, 1999)
    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE BASEBASE STRUCTURESTRUCTURE REPORTREPORT FISCAL YEAR 1999 OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (INSTALLATIONS) DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE BASE STRUCTURE I. INTRODUCTION Military installations are vital to national security. The real investment this Nation makes in its defense base structure and facilities is an investment in its military and civilian people – an investment that enhances the working and living conditions for our people which is repaid in the form of improved pride, greater performance and enhanced combat readiness. Defense installations and properties range widely in assigned personnel and the amount of property controlled: from unmanned navigational aids of less than one-half acre to the Navy’s installations at Norfolk, Virginia, with over 110,000 employees, and the Army’s White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico which encompasses over 3.6 million acres. II. CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION This Base Structure Report provides an understanding of the scope and purpose of DoD base structure as it was at the end of Fiscal Year 1999 (September 30, 1999). The report furnishes information on each installation, for the purpose of this report defined as a site owning more than ten acres AND having a Plant Replacement Value greater than one million dollars. Since the DoD owns few acres outside the United States or its territories, the criteria for inclusion of overseas installations was ten acres OR a Plant Replacement Value exceeding one million dollars. The report is organized by Military Service and then by state within the Service list. The report includes the installation location, the name of the nearest city, zip code, the number of buildings owned and leased, total acres occupied by the Services and the total acres owned, the authorized number of military, civilian, and “other” personnel.

UNIVERSITY OF Mi WORLD WAR II IN MEMORIAM DEDICATION In this book are the records of those sons of Maine who gave their lives in World War II. The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of those we love: these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds.
