The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting a public meeting to discuss the Record of Decision (ROD) and the revised selected remedy for the former ranges at the High Use Area (HUA) and Low Use Area (LUA) Munitions Response Site (MRS) at the former Camp Breckinridge, located in Henderson, Union, and Webster Counties, Kentucky. A Proposed Plan was available for public review and comment from June 27 to July 30, 2021. The ROD presents revisions to components of the preferred alternative that was presented in the Proposed Plan, revising the selected remedy to clarify the depth at which the removal action is anticipated to be effective and include subsurface removal in the LUA portion of the MRS. The ROD, including the revised selected remedy, will be presented via a public meeting.
The public is invited to attend the public meeting, which is intended to summarize the revisions to components of the selected remedy to remediate former ranges at the HUA and LUA MRS at the former Camp Breckinridge. Representatives from USACE and the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection will be available to receive oral and written comments and answer related questions. Comments received will be addressed in the responsiveness summary of the ROD.
The public meeting will be held Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (CST) at the Camp Breckinridge Museum and Arts Center.
