How does the Corps implement the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) and the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites (DERP-FUDS)?
When implementing both FUSRAP and DERP FUDS, the Corps follows the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980. This law: • Established prohibitions and requirements concerning closed and abandoned hazardous waste sites • Provided for liability of persons responsible for releases of hazardous waste at these sites • Authorizes response actions for both short-term removals and long-term remedial response actions to permanently and significantly reduce the dangers associated with releases of hazardous substances.
