What does "clean up" involve under the MMR?

"Clean up" under the Military Munitions Rule (MMR) specifically involves the process of removing hazardous military munitions from contaminated sites. This is a critical component of environmental management and remediation aimed at addressing the risks posed by unexploded ordnance (UXO), munitions debris, and other hazardous materials that may be left over from military training or operations.

The goal of the clean-up process is to ensure that such hazardous materials do not pose a threat to public health or the environment. It involves assessing contaminated sites, determining the level of hazard, and implementing appropriate removal and disposal strategies to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory requirements.

This focus on remediation and responsibility for hazardous sites aligns with the MMR's overarching goal of promoting safe management of military munitions and minimizing risks associated with their use and disposal.
