NAVAL SHIPYARD BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE: THE ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION EFFORT
Mare Island Shipyard in the US was placed on the "Fast Track" toward military base closure as of October 1993. All ship projects ended in April 1995. The base will close in April 1996. This paper discusses the cooperative efforts of the federal, state and local authorities, and the shipyard to quickly turnover the yard for effective civilian reuse. Also discussed is the shipyards effort to train and utilize the existing workforce as a major element in the environmental remediation effort to both prepare the facility for reuse and to prepare the workforce for reemployment.
