CHAPTER 2
RESPONSIBILITIES
2-1. Introduction.
a. This chapter describes the responsibilities and functional roles of the USACE
organizations and potential stakeholders in the OE response process.
b. ER 1110-1-8153, OE Response, provides further detail regarding the roles and
responsibilities of USACE elements (i.e., HQUSACE, MSCs, districts, OE Design Centers, and
OE MCX) involved in the management and execution of OE response projects. ER 1110-1-8153
provides responsibility matrices delineating organizational responsibilities throughout the
process.
c. Throughout this document, district review and approval responsibilities for project
activities are discussed. These responsibilities have been delegated by the MSC to the assigned
district within their geographic area.
d. Districts requiring additional information beyond that discussed in this document
should contact the OE MCX.
2-2. USACE Organizational Responsibilities.
a. MSC Commanders are assigned overall responsibility for the safe and efficient
execution of OE response actions for all projects for which they are the PM in accordance with
ER 5-1-11.
b. The responsibilities detailed herein are FUDS specific. For projects under the
management of an active or transferring installation, the installation may want to retain some
degree of management control. In such cases, the PM will hire the appropriate OE Design Center
to provide USACE assistance in a manner that is transparent to the customer, but the PM will
remain the interface with the installation.
c. It is the responsibility of all USACE personnel involved with the OE Program to safely
execute OE response projects in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies. All
USACE organizations will ensure that all personnel involved with on-site activities at project
sites are familiar with and have access to copies of the approved Safety Plans prepared for the
site-specific activities to be conducted. In addition, each organization will ensure that such
personnel have received appropriate training, medical surveillance, and personal protective
equipment required by the safety plan, contract specifications, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Standards, USACE regulations, and applicable DOD and DA
regulations.
