Malmstrom AFB has established an IRP to reduce the health and environmental risks created or caused by past operations at hazardous waste disposal sites.
Operations involve the use of toxic and hazardous materials.
These materials, when released into the environment, can harm humans, animal or plant life, water supplies and other valuable resources. Malmstrom AFB implemented this program to address its properties contaminated by hazardous waste and the unintentional spread of contamination to off-base properties. Malmstrom AFB has established a Restoration Advisory Board comprised of members of the local neighborhood, state, city, federal officials, and the Air Force, which meets quarterly to discuss the IRP process at the base. This open forum provides an opportunity for everyone to address any items of concern and for the Environmental Managers at Malmstrom to keep the community apprised of our cleanup activities. In doing so, Malmstrom AFB is acting both as a good neighbor and as a responsible protector of the public and the environment.
