3-3. Developing Site-Specific Objectives. To effectively manage long-term residual risk at an OE site,
the government needs to encourage meaningful stakeholder involvement. Coordination with local
officials and other stakeholders is essential to identifying site-specific objectives for the institutional
control program. This coordination involves listening to community officials about their form of
government, discovering what local programs exist, and uncovering the community's needs for
addressing the ordnance problem. This section discusses the steps required to establish site-specific
objectives. Table 3.1 summarizes these steps.
Steps Required to Establish Site-Specific Objectives
Determine the problems requiring change.
-
Site history
-
Types of activities
-
Types and quantities of munitions
-
Current and future land use
Identify types of reuse allowed.
Determine the type of activities to be restricted.
Determine site-specific restrictions.
3-4. Determine the Problems Requiring Change. The first step in establishing site-specific objectives is
to identify the specific problems associated with OE at the site. To do this, both the historical use of the
site and current/future land uses should be evaluated.
a. The history of the site should be reviewed to evaluate the type(s) of activities that occurred at
the site, as well as the type(s) and quantity(ies) of munitions used.
(1) Type of activities. Activities that may result in the presence of OE include: ammunition plants;
storage, test, impact, and training areas; and bombing or target ranges. These different uses will result in
differing distributions of OE, both horizontally and vertically.
(2) Type and quantity of munitions. The type and quantity of munitions used at a site may have
varied over the life of the site, depending on changing missions and technology. One site may therefore
include numerous types of munitions. OE may include bombs, artillery, mortar, aircraft cannon or tank-
fired projectiles, dispensed munitions, submunitions, rockets, guided missiles, grenades, general
demolition materials, bulk explosives, pyrotechnics, torpedoes, mines, small arms ammunition, and
chemical/biological munitions. In addition to the differing types of munitions, it must also be determined
