Tulsa District's Environmental Restoration program was established in 1989 when the Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, designated the district as the Hazardous, Toxic, and Radiological Waste (HTRW) Design District for the Corps' Southwestern Division. Then, the Southwestern Division covered the states of Arkansas, Lousiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Today, because of Corps restructuring in the '90s, New Mexico is covered by the Albuquerque District which is part of the Corps South Pacific Division.

As a Design District, the district offers to Tribal, local and state governments, and to other federal agencies technical support in identification and cleanup of pollution in conformance with all federal and state regulations.

Tulsa District is responsible for the technical support and project management of the:
  • Installation Restoration Program for the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force,
  • Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) Program,
  • Environmental Restoration Program for the Department of Energy, Pantex Plant, and
  • Projects for the Environmental Protection Agency.

Tulsa District performs investigations and design for all of the Southwestern Division and remedial actions for installations within the district boundaries.
