Corps of Engineers delays intrusive work at 4825 Glenbrook Road


Baltimore, Md. - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore  
District, has decided to modify the work schedule for high  
probability operations at 4825 Glenbrook Road NW in Washington, D.C.,  
a part of the Spring Valley Formerly Used Defense Sites project. The  
impending furlough of government employees requires the  
implementation of a variety of reductions in work hours.  The  
furlough will restrict the team to four 8-hour work days per week and  
overtime compensation will not be allowed, which restricts available  
work hours from our current schedule of 60 hours per week down to 32  
hours per week.

Safety for our workers and the community is our number one priority.  
The Corps of Engineers will not compromise safety; therefore even the  
slightest potential that response capabilities might be degraded  
under furlough conditions led to the decision to delay high  
probability intrusive activities at the site.

The Corps of Engineers is only delaying the start of high probability  
intrusive activities at the site.  Non-intrusive work at the site  
will continue throughout the furlough.  The Corps of Engineers will  
continue to install all of the remaining engineering controls,  
actively maintain the site, continue to provide on-site security, and  
perform all required training in preparation for high probability  
intrusive activities.  This will allow high probability operations to  
begin as soon as the furlough ends.
