The Oregon Army National Guard range restoration project at Camp Withycombe is an example of incorporating Army, Army National Guard, and State of Oregon Green Remediation Strategies into a coordinated action plan. By using a “Green Remediation” approach the clean up $5M was saved over the standard ‘dig & haul' to a hazardous waste landfill. The use of the land for firing ranges resulted in heavy lead contamination. The green remediation strategy led to removal of 300 tons of bullets for recycling and reclamation of 10,000 tons of soil for reuse. Speakers will discuss the feasibility study, choices, and execution of this project and how it is transferable to other projects.

Mr. Jim Arnold, Oregon Military Department, Restoration Manager
Mr. Scott Kranz, AMEC Earth & Environmental, Project Manager
