Army Explosives Safety Submissions for Cleanup and Release of Real Property Which Contains Ordnance and Explosives

Abstract

The Army is disposing of real property due to BRAC and normal property excessing. The Army manufactured, stored, fired, and disposed of ammunition on some of this property. In many cases, OE remains as a result. Before it releases the property, the Army will address OE consistent with how the property will be reused. However, the Army cannot proceed until its safety experts and the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) approve an explosives safety submission. This article tells when to prepare a submission and when it must be approved. It also explains who approves them and what they should contain. This article concludes by giving lessons learned from past submissions.
