The Cecil Field BRAC Cleanup Team (BCT) coordinated with the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) and teamed with experts to devise and use innovative solutions and technologies to achieve its mission of property transfer while adhering to its vision of partnering. Forty percent of the work was subcontracted to local, small and disadvantaged businesses. Significant accomplishments which have resulted in over $10 million in savings include completing investigations of 644 sites allowing transfer of 97% of the base acreage, successfully signing 23 RODs, eight No Further Action (NFA) decisions, and overseeing long-term monitoring at 14 IR sites and 10 petroleum sites, first partial delisting from the National Priorities List (NPL) in EPA Region 4, saving money by implementing bioaugmentation to enhance bioremediation at a trichloroethylene (TCE) plume, saving over $1 million by modifying an ongoing remedial action, transferring the golf course and precluding it from becoming a CERCLA site, saving $2.5 million in remediation costs by applying statistics to attain Florida Soil Cleanup Target Levels (SCTLs), saving $2.4 million in remediation costs at the North Fuel Farm, and expeditious removal of Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) minimizing impacts to construction activities.
