This report is an examination of the policies developed to bring about accelerated cleanup of military bases now closing in California and the relevance of those policies to other Department of Defense cleanup programs and hazardous waste policy in general. This annotated, case-study-oriented briefing discusses the applicable legislation and the various priority-setting systems that might be imposed--those based on risk, jobs, reuse, speed, or land. Four questions are addressed: what goals govern cleanup on California's closing bases, and to what extent are they reuse-driven? Is risk-driven priority a by-product of existing cleanup legislation? How do reuse- and risk-driven priorities differ, and can DoD's goal of harmonizing these two priorities with legislative requirements be achieved? What is project management's role? Site-specific base studies are described, and recommendations delineated for both active and closing bases.

American communities face serious challenges when military bases close. But affected municipalities and metro regions are not doomed. Taking a long-term, flexible, and incremental approach, Michael Touchton and Amanda J. Ashley make strong recommendations for collaborative models of governance that can improve defense conversion dramatically and ensure benefits, even for low-resource municipalities. Communities can't control their economic situation or geographic location, but, as Salvaging Community shows, communities can control how they govern conversion processes geared toward redevelopment and reinvention. In Salvaging Community, Touchton and Ashley undertake a comprehensive evaluation of how such communities redevelop former bases following the Department of Defense's Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. To do so, they developed the first national database on military redevelopment and combine quantitative national analyses with three, in-depth case studies in California. Salvaging Community thus fills the void in knowledge surrounding redevelopment of bases and the disparate outcomes that affect communities after BRAC. The data presented in Salvaging Community points toward effective strategies for collaborative governance that address the present-day needs of municipal officials, economic development agencies, and non-profit organizations working in post-BRAC communities. Defense conversion is not just about jobs or economic rebound, Touchton and Ashley argue. Emphasizing inclusion and sustainability in redevelopment promotes rejuvenated communities and creates places where people want to live. As localities and regions deal with the legacy of the post-Cold War base closings and anticipate new closures in the future, Salvaging Community presents a timely and constructive approach to both economic and community development at the close of the military-industrial era.

As a result of downsizing the nation's military forces, 29 bases in CA were closed or realigned by the year 2001, with enormous statewide impacts. However, this presented opportunities to local communities & CA businesses, with over 74,000 acres of land available for alternative uses. Redevelopment activities attributable to base closures generate substantial amounts of waste. These waste materials can be reused or recycled. This handbook promotes cost-effective environmentally safe alternatives to land disposal. It provides timely how toÓ info. to base conversion officials to facilitate waste reuse & recycling. It focuses on economically viable closed-loop waste reduction, reuse & recycling techniques that will keep waste out of landfills.
