USACE supports environmental stewardship and environmental cleanup for various Department of Defense (DoD) and Interagency and International Support (IIS) customers, to include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). USACE also supports numerous environmental regulatory programs, to include the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP), the Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP), the Superfund and Brownfield’s programs, and environmental cleanups at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS).

USACE is also actively involved in providing technical and management support to multiple customers for the remediation of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) including support to MMRP and other related environmental missions. In support of these efforts, USACE is establishing an enterprise-wide acquisition strategy that will provide participating Districts and divisions with an extensive suite of contract vehicles that can be utilized to meet various core missions over a multi-year period.
