The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District is investigating potential environmental restoration activities at the Former Beale AFB Titan 1-A Missile Facility as part of the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) program.
Current Status
Data collected from groundwater monitoring wells and soil vapor probes indicate there is no imminent risk to residents in nearby communities. Groundwater at the project location is not used as a drinking water source.
Next Steps
Following completion of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will proceed through the following phases:
Proposed Plan (Scheduled: 2027)
USACE will publish a Proposed Plan identifying the preferred approach to address risks to human health and the environment.
- Includes a summary of alternatives evaluated in the RI/FS
- Opens a formal public comment period
Record of Decision (Scheduled: 2027)
USACE will issue a Record of Decision (ROD), which:
- Documents the selected remedy
- Incorporates and responds to public comments received on the Proposed Plan
Remedial Design / Remedial Action
Following the ROD, the project will move into:
- Remedial Design – detailed engineering of the selected remedy
- Remedial Action – construction and implementation
