Download or read book Military Munitions Response Program written by Anu K. Mittal and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD established the military munitions response program (MMRP) in 2001 to clean up sites known to be or suspected of being contaminated with military munitions and related hazardous substances. Cleanup of sites on active and base realignment and closure installations is the responsibility of the military service ¿ Air Force, Army, Navy, or Marine Corps ¿ that currently controls the land. This report assessed the: (1) MMRP staffing and funding levels; (2) progress DoD has made in cleaning up munitions response sites; (3) extent to which DoD has established MMRP performance goals; and (4) extent to which DoD collects data on factors influencing project duration, as well as the accuracy of its cleanup cost estimates.

Download or read book Military Base Closures Opportunities Exist to Improve Environmental Cleanup Cost Reporting to Expedite Transfer of Unneeded Property written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While expected environmental cleanup costs for unneeded property arising from the 2005 BRAC round are not yet fully known, Department of Defense (DOD) data indicate that about $950 million will be needed to clean up these bases, adding to the estimated $13.2 billion total cleanup cost for the prior rounds. Although DOD's cleanup program has matured compared to prior BRAC rounds, there are still many unknowns and the cleanup estimate for the 2005 round should be considered preliminary. In fact, environmental cleanup costs are likely to increase as more intensive environmental investigations are undertaken, additional hazardous conditions are discovered, and future reuse plans are finalized. Furthermore, Congress does not have full visibility over the total cost of DOD's BRAC cleanup efforts because none of the four reports DOD prepares on various aspects of environmental cleanup present all types of costs past and future to complete cleanup at each base. Compiling a complete picture of all costs requires extracting information from multiple reports, as GAO has done to estimate the total cleanup cost for the four prior BRAC rounds. More complete and transparent cost information would assist Congress in conducting its oversight responsibilities for this multibillion dollar effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) established the military munitions response program (MMRP) in 2001 to clean up sites known to be or suspected of being contaminated with military munitions and related hazardous substances. Cleanup of sites on active and base realignment and closure installations is the responsibility of the military service?Air Force, Army, Navy, or Marine Corps?that currently controls the land, and the Army has delegated execution of cleanup of formerly used defense sites (FUDS) to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). GAO was mandated to assess the (1) MMRP staffing and funding levels; (2) progress DOD has made in cleaning up munitions response sites; (3) extent to which DOD has established MMRP performance goals; and (4) extent to which DOD collects data on factors influencing project duration, as well as the accuracy of its cleanup cost estimates. GAO analyzed MMRP data and DOD documents and interviewed officials from DOD, the military services, and the Corps.
Download or read book Superfund Interagency Agreements and Improved Project Management Needed to Achieve Cleanup Progress at Key Defense Installations written by John B. Stephenson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the passage of federal environmental legislation in the 1970s and 1980s, DoD activities contaminated millions of acres of soil and water on and near DoD sites. The EPA has oversight authorities for cleaning up contaminants on federal property, and has placed 1,620 of the most contaminated sites -- including 141 DoD installations -- on its National Priorities List (NPL). As of Feb. 2009, after 10 or more years on the NPL, 11 DoD installations had not signed the required interagency agreements (IAG) to guide cleanup with EPA. This report examined: (1) the status of DoD cleanup of hazardous substances at selected installations that lacked IAGs; and (2) obstacles, if any, to cleanup at these installations. Figures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cleaning up known hazards at the 4,700 formerly used defense sites (FUDS) -- sites transferred to other owners before 10/86 -- will require 50+ years and cost $18 billion. This estimate excludes any additional needed cleanup of emerging contaminants -- generally, those not yet governed by a health standard. FUDS cleanup is the responsibility of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). In addition to FUDS, DoD is responsible for cleaning up 21,500 sites on active bases and 5,400 sites on realigned or closed bases. This report examined: (1) the extent to which the Corps reevaluates sites to identify emerging contaminants; (2) how DoD allocates cleanup funds; (3) how the Corps prioritizes FUDS for cleanup; and (4) FUDS program overhead costs.

Download or read book Remediation of Buried Chemical Warfare Materiel written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the result of disposal practices from the early to mid-twentieth century, approximately 250 sites in 40 states, the District of Columbia, and 3 territories are known or suspected to have buried chemical warfare materiel (CWM). Much of this CWM is likely to occur in the form of small finds that necessitate the continuation of the Army's capability to transport treatment systems to disposal locations for destruction. Of greatest concern for the future are sites in residential areas and large sites on legacy military installations. The Army mission regarding the remediation of recovered chemical warfare materiel (RCWM) is turning into a program much larger than the existing munition and hazardous substance cleanup programs. The Army asked the Nation Research Council (NRC) to examine this evolving mission in part because this change is significant and becoming even more prominent as the stockpile destruction is nearing completion. One focus in this report is the current and future status of the Non-Stockpile Chemical Material Project (NSCMP), which now plays a central role in the remediation of recovered chemical warfare materiel and which reports to the Chemical Materials Agency. Remediation of Buried Chemical Warfare Materiel also reviews current supporting technologies for cleanup of CWM sites and surveys organizations involved with remediation of suspected CWM disposal sites to determine current practices and coordination. In this report, potential deficiencies in operational areas based on the review of current supporting technologies for cleanup of CWM sites and develop options for targeted research and development efforts to mitigate potential problem areas are identified.
