Joint Base Cape Cod Cleanup Team

The Joint Base Cape Cod Cleanup Team is a joint citizens' advisory team that meets regularly to receive updates on and provide input to the Impact Area Groundwater Study Program, which is responsible for the environmental cleanup of the northern 15,000 acres of Camp Edwards, and the Installation Restoration Program, which is primarily focused on the environmental cleanup on the southern portion of the base.

This team was established in 2008 when the two cleanup programs combined their existing citizens' teams - the Impact Area Review Team (IART) and Plume Cleanup Team (PCT), respectively - into a single advisory board. The team includes representatives from the surrounding communities, the programs and the regulatory agencies
