Groundwater

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District has released the Proposed Plan (PP) for the Spring Valley Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) Groundwater Project, Washington, DC.

The Spring Valley FUDS Groundwater Proposed Plan is based on the Groundwater Remedial Investigation and Remedial Investigation Addendum.  The Groundwater Remedial Investigation provides the history of the site, and details all of the completed groundwater investigations that have taken place at the Spring Valley FUDS since 2004.  The Proposed Plan summaries the results of the Remedial Investigation and proposes a preferred approach of No Action.

USACE invites the community to save the date for a public information session where community members will be able to learn more about the Proposed Plan for Groundwater at the Spring Valley FUDS.  The public information session will be held on August 13, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, at the American University School of International Service, Abramson Family Founders Room (SIS T7), located on the Terrace Level. The building is located at the intersection of Nebraska and New Mexico Avenues, NW, Washington DC.   If you cannot attend the public meeting in person and you wish to join the meeting virtually, members of the public can participate in the meeting via the following WebEx link:
