The fourth meeting of the NATO Committee on the Challenges
of Modern Society (CCMS) pilot study on "Environmental
Aspects of Reusing Former Military Lands" will take place
on 4-7 December in Bonn. Delegates/participants will
also visit the former military air base at
Wegberg-Wildenrath in North-Rhine-Westfalia to observe
a practical example of a successful reuse project.
The aim of this NATO study, jointly led by the German
Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and
Nuclear Safety and the US Department of Defense, is to
develop conversion strategies for former military land.
Sixty experts from eight NATO and 11 Cooperation Partner
countries take part in the work of the five subgroups.
In the first phase of this study, experts discussed both
the methods of screening and identifying military sites,
and the approach to site assessment elaborated
according to different categories of military bases.
Member countries have presented data on risk assessment,
remediation plans and projected reuse for the different
categories of military bases.
There is also on-going work to facilitate access to
financial resources. For this purpose, bilateral,
multilateral, private and other sources of funding for
environmental clean-up and application modalities have
been explored.
Future work will focus on the investigation and exchange
of information on removal measures, taking and analysing
samples, safeguarding, future use, long-term monitoring,
and remediation costs.
In the second phase, complementary to the on-going work in
phase I, the funding possibilities in participating
countries for demonstration projects will be explored.
