The Compliance Cleanup (CC) program manages the cleanup of contaminated Army lands not covered by one of the two Army cleanup programs being conducted under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP). Compliance Cleanup generally includes sites on Army active (including Reserve), excess, and special installations, as well as on Army overseas installations. This program also includes cleanup at federally-owned as well as non-federally owned, but federally-supported Army National Guard (ARNG) sites.
Like the Installation Restoration Program and the Military Munition Response Program, the principal goal of CC at Army installations is to perform appropriate, cost-effective cleanup to protect human health, safety, and the environment, and to sustain operational readiness and training. CC is a key element of the broader Army Environmental Cleanup Strategy and its associated environmental Cleanup Strategic Plan.
As a decentralized program, responsibility for CC is spread among several program managers with ultimate oversight accomplished by the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management ACSIM), Installation Services Directorate, Environmental Division level. The Army Environmental Command is responsible for managing the CC program for active installations (including overseas) within the Installation Management Command and the Reserves. The National Guard Bureau provides oversight for the federally-owned and non-federally owned, federally supported facilities under their command. The Base Realignment and Closure Division of the ACSIM provides oversight for the active installations, that have been declared excess to the Army's needs. Commands with a specific dedicated mission, e.g., Army Materiel Command (industrial), Medical Command (healthcare) and the Strategic Missile Defense Command have responsibility for oversight of the CC program for their installations.
