NOTICE OF WORKSHOP
for the 
CLEANUP OF UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE

The California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic 
Substances Control (DTSC) is conducting a workshop in anticipation of 
developing standards for investigation and remediation of sites where 
unexploded ordnance (UXO) is suspected. The following are key questions 
that will be addressed by DTSC and other speakers at this workshop:

1.  Are there standards that can be utilized to oversee UXO cleanup?
2.  What land uses are protective of public health and safety, and the 
environment after the UXO are removed using best available technology?  
How will land use restrictions be enforced?
3.  How much UXO can be removed using best available and reliable 
technology?
4.  Are there experiences that DTSC can draw from in making regulatory 
decisions? 
5.  What technologies are on the immediate horizon?
6.  What is an acceptable cleanup level? What are acceptable uses for 
former UXO sites where remediation does not guarantee removal of all 
UXO?

The one-day workshop will include presentations and a public comment 
session.  Invited speakers will include representatives from: the 
Department of Defense, private industry, DTSC and environmental groups.
