The meeting will be in Fort Ritchie Community Center, 14421 Lake Royer Drive, and will review the Record of Decision (ROD) and Action Memorandum documents. The former Fort Ritchie property is currently under the ownership of Corporate Office Properties Trust. A ROD is a formal document that the U.S. Army develops to establish guidelines of what needs to be done to clean up an area. The two former Fort Ritchie cleanup sites that will be reviewed include groundwater contamination at the motor pool site and the Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC). The MEC addresses the cleanup of any munitions that may have remained on the property after the former Army base was closed in 1998 by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission. ...
