Tulsa District's
Environmental Restoration Program
Tulsa District's Environmental Restoration program was established in 1989 when the Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, designated the district as the Hazardous, Toxic, and Radiological Waste (HTRW) Design District for the Corps' Southwestern Division. Then, the Southwestern Division covered the states of Arkansas, Lousiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Today, because of Corps restructuring in the '90s, New Mexico is covered by the Albuquerque District which is part of the Corps South Pacific Division.
