Programs & Projects
Go To — Current South Carolina (FUDS) ProjectsFormerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS)
The Department of Defense (DoD) is responsible for environmental restoration of properties that were formerly owned by, leased to or otherwise possessed by the United States and under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Defense. Such properties are known as Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). The Army is the executive agent for the program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages and directs the program's administration. The scope and magnitude of the FUDS program are significant, with more than 9,900 properties identified for potential inclusion in the program. Information about the origin and extent of contamination, land transfer issues, past and present property ownership, and program policies must be evaluated before DoD considers a property eligible for Defense Environment Restoration Account (DERA) funding under the FUDS program. Environmental cleanup procedures at FUDS are similar to those at active DoD installations.
FUDS cleanup projects fall into one or more categories:
- Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste: Cleanup and removal of hazardous substances include removal of underground and aboveground storage tanks, drums, and electrical transformers. Other projects in this category include the removal or treatment of soil or groundwater contaminated with hazardous substances, removal of other hazardous substances or waste, and the cleanup of contaminated landfills.
- Building Demolition and/or Debris Removal: Demolition and removal of structurally unsafe buildings or towers and removal of unsafe debris.
- Ordnance and Explosive Waste: Identification and removal of abandoned ordnance and explosive waste such as bombs, bullets, and rockets. Included are projects that remove or remediate explosives-contaminated soil and chemical warfare material.

The Department of Defense has developed a Web site to provide educational materials about the dangers posed by unexploded ordnance (UXO) and munitions of concern. Sgt. Woof is the new face of the UXO safety education program and the site offers materials parents and teachers can use to teach children about the potential danger and the need to remember the 3Rs of unexploded ordnance safety -- Recognize, Retreat and Report.
