Description

Gary L. Jones & Edward Zadjura. The DoD estimates that cleaning up contamination & hazards at thousands of properties that it formerly owned or controlled will take more than 70 years & cost from $15 to $20 billion. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined that more than 4,000 of the 9,181 properties eligible for its cleanup program do not have hazards that require further Corps study or cleanup action. This report determines the extent to which the Corps: (1) has a sound basis for its determinations; & (2) has communicated its determinations to owners & to the regulatory agencies that may have responsibility & notified the owners that it will reconsider a determination if evidence of DoD-caused hazards is found later. Charts & tables.
