The legal framework regarding the placement of liability following an accident or other impact emanating from a property is extremely import in the context of the remediation of military wastes.

Because airports have historically been the location of both military activities and heavy bombardment, these lands must be given priority with regards to munitions clearing, remediation, and conversion.
