Cleanup In 1982, the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) was initiated by the Department of Defense to investigate and clean up environmental problems at the Otis Air National Guard Base on the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR). The program was expanded in 1986 to cover Camp Edwards (Army National Guard) and the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod. Seventy-eight separate source areas have been identified as having the potential for environmental problems. These include landfills, coal yards, storm drains, firefighter training areas, and areas where fuel and chemical spills were reported. There are also groundwater plumes originating from MMR. Through the IRP, much progress has been made on the cleanup of soils and groundwater.		About – Provides information about the cleanup, including history, maps, and fact sheets.
