Areas of Potential Contamination

The Installation Action Plan lists areas of potential contamination in three categories:
1.     Areas of Concern under the Installation Restoration Program
2.     Munitions Response Sites under the Military Munitions Response Program
3.     Compliance Restoration Sites under the Installation Restoration Program

The map below locates each area under active investigation and the table below lists characteristics of each area and provides a link to additional information.
The map at the bottom of the page locates each historical area of concern.
