Sample Landowner Notification Letter
For
Confirmed ordnance and explosives (OE) site - (conventional):
A confirmed OE site means OE is clearly present or there are reliable reports of OE being
found.
1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program,
has been assigned responsibility by the Department of Defense (DOD) to identify,
investigate, and respond to environmental hazards that are a direct result of DOD activities at
former installations.
2. As part of this program, a preliminary assessment of eligibility has been performed for the
former (Former Site Name) located in (City), (County), (State) Site No. (FUDS INPR Site
No.). This preliminary review of historical information and real estate records indicates that
the site was used to (land use that initiated the INPR). The results of this investigation have
confirmed the potential presence of OE. A danger therefore exists to anyone coming in
contact with OE. Because we are not able to determine the full extent of this OE
contamination, additional investigation has been recommended. This will include a search of
historical archives, interviews of local residents and former workers at the site, and a site
visit.
3. Since a potential hazard exists, (MSC or District) strongly recommends that no excavation
work be performed at this time. The possibility of encountering OE is highly likely.
4. A (CERCLA Response Action such as PAE/SI, EE/CA, TCRA, or NTCRA) has been
planned and is scheduled to begin as funds become available (Date or Fiscal Year). The
results of this (Response Action) will determine if any further actions are necessary.
5. If you have any questions regarding the investigation of this site, please contact (Name,
Office Symbol, Phone Number).
