Why are LUCs used on closed and realigned military bases?
LUCs are used on closed military facilities when residual contamination is left on site after the base has been transferred. Residual contamination may be present for a variety of reasons. In some cases the community and the local redevelopment authority have chosen a reuse option that does not require complete remediation. In other cases, due to insufficient funding or technological limitations, certain contaminants cannot be fully remediated.
