Boiler Plant Testing Scheduled for December 3rd and 4th 2015

December 3rd, 2015 by WR-LRA

Dear Neighbors,

On December 3rd and 4th   2015,  the Army Caretaker team will perform mandatory testing on the Walter Reed site. The testing will occur at the boiler plant and this type of testing is called Relative Accuracy Testing Audit (RATA). The purpose of the RATA  will be to demonstrate that boiler plant emissions measuring equipment is operating properly.  During the test, the boiler will run at higher levels and vent excess steam, which will potentially produce a louder than normal noise.  The test will only be completed during daylight hours and is not indicative to any problems with boiler plant. The Army will work to restore the site to its normal noise level. If you have any questions please feel free to call the Army caretaker team at  202.782.7511 between 6am-6pm.
