scope:

Purpose. This regulation sets forth the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) policy concerning the Corps' roles and responsibilities under FUSRAP in designating new sites, in determining the scope of its cleanup efforts, and in seeking cost recovery or contribution for its cleanup efforts, except as directed otherwise by Congress.

Applicability. This regulation applies to all HQUSACE elements and all USACE commands having responsibility for sites and vicinity properties (VPs) where USACE has lead federal agency responsibility for cleanup under FUSRAP subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This includes sites added to the FUSRAP program by congressional action and contaminated by hazardous substances with characteristics similar to FUSRAP-related radioactive and related chemical contamination.
