Title
Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Five Year Review
Body
Summary and Background Information: Officials will present a summary of the draft 2015 Rocky Mountain Arsenal Five-Year Review Report, which is available for public comment July 11 - Aug. 24, 2016, with all comments reviewed as part of the final report. Conducted collaboratively with federal, state and local regulatory agencies, Five-Year Reviews (FYRs) involve a comprehensive assessment of the performance of an environmental cleanup program and its ongoing protectiveness of human health and the environment. During the review, a multiagency team evaluates if environmental standards that affect the site have changed in the past five years, whether the cleanup continues to be protective of public health and the environment, and whether the remedy can be expected to remain protective. The most recent FYR, which covers the period from 2011 to 2015, is the fourth to be completed for the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA). The conclusions for the FYR include:
· Identification of issues and public concerns
· Recommendations and follow-up actions
· A determination of whether the remedy is, or is expected to be, protective of public health and the environment.
These conclusions are reached through a technical assessment of the information collected during the document review, data collection, interviews, site inspection and other activities. The full report is now available on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal website at www.rma.army.mil.
