Raritan Arsenal--Unexploded Ordnance Removal Project, Edison, New Jersey

Abstract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Division (CEHND), is the Mandatory Center of Expertise (MCX) and Design Center for ordnance and explosive waste (OEW) contamination at formerly used defense sites under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP-FUDS). The former Raritan Arsenal is one of more than 1100 sites on the FUDS inventory which are potentially contaminated with unexploded ordnance. Division began an Interim Removal Action at Raritan in April 1331. This paper is a discussion of the site history, community relations, coordination, environmental constraints, contracting, current status, and lessons learned during the study, design and execution phases of the project.
