Definition and Purpose of the Administrative Record File
The documents listed below comprise the MCAS CHERRY POINT ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD FILE (ARF). The ARF is a collection of documents compiled by the US Navy as represented by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command to document the selection of environmental response actions for the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) currently underway at MCAS Cherry Point. The ARF serves two purposes. First, it provides access to site-specific information so that the public may make informed comments to the US Navy on the selection of response actions. Second, if the adequacy of a response decision is challenged in court, the judicial review of that decision will be based on the documents in the ARF. This file is consistent with the requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Action of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Action of 1986 (SARA).
The ARF is crucial to the public because it contains information on which the selections of interim and final response actions for sites will be based. Technical studies and significant correspondence among local , state, and federal government agencies are included in the ARF, as well as those documents that reflect notification of and participation by the public in site activities. The consideration given and response made by the Navy to public comments are also incorporated into the ARF.
Examples of information found in the ARF include sampling data, guidance and policy documents, technical studies, decision documents, proposed clean up plans, correspondence, work plans, health/risk evaluations, public notices, public information materials, and court orders and decrees.
Documents will be added as studies are conducted.
MCAS Cherry Point welcomes comments at any time on base environmental activities. Formal comment periods are held at certain stages of the response process. The public is urged to use these formal comment periods to submit comments on proposed actions.
