Abstract

The McClellan Air Force Base Installation Restoration Program (IRP) is responsible for identifying and remediating environmental contamination from past operations and disposal practices. Since 1979, the IRP has generated over 200 volumes of technical reports regarding the degree and extent of contamination at the base. The base is in the process of automating the storage, retrieval, and analysis of the technical data generated by the cleanup program. This paper discusses the requirements for the IRP technical information system, presents the development approach taken, illustrates visualization results from the system prototype, and outlines future plans for development of the system.
