The
Massachusetts Military Reservation is a
multi-jurisdictional Department of Defense installation
comprising 30,000 acres across four towns on Cape Cod.
In the past it’s size, location relative to large
northeastern population centers, and historically sparse
population made it a key training and staging area for a
variety of Department of Defense interests.
Decades of military use, combined with a porous
glacial terrain and complicated by a sole-source aquifer,
have created a variety of groundwater contamination plumes
that have spread from the Reservation.
Efforts to remediate the contamination require the
acquisition of access agreements with area property owners
so that treatment systems may be most effectively sited,
installed, and maintained.
The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE)
assumed responsibility for the remediation at MMR in 1996,
and since then has secured several hundred such agreements
with area property owners, mostly in hard-copy format. In 2003 AFCEE, in cooperation with other Department of
Defense agencies, contracted with CH2M HILL to develop a
web-based data management system to archive existing
access agreements and support the process for obtaining
future agreements. The
property and easement management system is based on
commercially available geographic information system (GIS)
and relational database management system (RDBMS)
development platforms and is designed to compliment other
data management systems used on the program.
Development of the system has to balance the
requirements and interests of different, and sometimes
competing, stakeholders and must address such issues as
functionality, ERPIMS and SDSFIE standardization, future
scalability, and deployment within and outside of the
Department of Defense network firewall.
