[CPEO-MEF] MUNITIONS, CHEMWEAPONS, COMMUNITY: Underwater Munitions Response

[Lenny Siegel <lennysiegel@gmail.com>]

Community Perspectives on Underwater Munitions Response

Reviewing U.S. underwater munitions sites, CPEO Executive Director Lenny 
Siegel found enormous variety in scale, the type of the munitions, and 
the nature of the waterways. Despite the diversity, he found that 
community members and officials share a risk management perspective, 
where the need for cleanup is primarily determined by the potential for 
exposure. This contrasts with the resource restoration viewpoint, in 
which the purpose of cleanup is to restore resources such as groundwater 
to their original condition.
