Environmental Restoration

The Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) manages the environmental cleanup of all Air Force bases. Past industrial activities have resulted in contamination of the soil and water at Travis AFB. The ERP is committed to restoring the soil and water to a condition that is protective of human health and the environment as quickly as possible.  The links located in the sidebar to the right provide access to information on our progress as well as connections to the primary environmental regulatory agencies that provide oversight of the Travis AFB ERP.

The Travis ERP staff, with input from three federal and state of California regulatory agencies and the local community, manages the cleanup effort.  Prior to 2013, the ERP staff was attached to Travis AFB and was assigned to the 60th Civil Engineer Squadron.  As part of the Air Force transformation, the restoration efforts at all Air Force installations were centralized, and the Travis ERP staff is now a part of the Travis Installation Support Section (ISS) and attached to the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) in San Antonio, Texas.  Even though the Travis ISS is a tenant organization on Travis AFB, it coordinates all restoration activities with base leadership and various offices to promote soil and groundwater cleanup and support the base mission.
