Vieques Island, Puerto Rico

 

Welcome to the website of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic (NAVFAC Atlantic) for the former Vieques Naval Installation. The former Vieques Naval installation is a 23,000-acre facility located on Vieques Island, which is located off the southeast coast of the mainland of Puerto Rico.

The installation provided military training to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operations. From the mid-1940s until 2003, more than 300,000 munitions items were fired from military training operations, including naval gunfire, air-to-ground bombing, and marine artillery fire. It was initially estimated that up to 9,000 acres of the property may be contaminated by munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) from these operations.

The process to investigate and cleanup the former Vieques Naval Installation has been underway since 1986.

It is important to us that community members have access to accurate and timely information about the actions NAVFAC Atlantic, in coordination with its agency partners, is taking to implement the Environmental Restoration Program. We are committed to protecting public health and the environment. This web site is one of the ways the community can learn about environmental restoration activities on Vieques and participate in the decision-making process.
