NATO CCMS
In 1997, Todd Margrave served as the Navy's Technical Representative to the NATO CCMS Pilot Study: Environmental Aspects of Reusing Former Military Lands, a program supported by the U.S. Government and officially sponsored by the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology.)
In late January 1997 the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) formally requested participation from each of the services in support of a NATO pilot study entitled the Environmental Aspects of Reusing Former Military Lands by the Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (NATO/CCMS). The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Environment and Safety) in cooperation with Chief of Naval Operations (N45) directed the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACHQ) to select a technical representative to serve on an international delegation focused on environmental cleanup, reuse and economic revitalization of former military lands in Eastern Europe. The Navy’s primary purpose for participating in this NATO/CCMS mission to Europe was to share non-classified information on innovative environmental cleanup technology and strategies for reducing costs associated with closed or closing military installations.
From approximately 31 March through 16 April 1997, Mr. Todd Margrave, staff environmental engineer (NAVFACHQ), accompanied members of an international team comprised of German, Canadian and American delegates and visited former Soviet military installations in Estonia, Latvia, Czech Republic and Poland. Mr. Margrave was selected as team leader for the Liepaja, Latvia Special Economic Zone project because of prior environmental restoration and base closure experience at U.S. Naval bases with similar site conditions.
