Download or read book Environmental Contamination Lessons Learned from the Cleanup of Formerly Used Defense and Military Munitions Sites written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), the Department of Defense (DoD) has charged the Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) with cleaning up 4,700 formerly used defense sites (FUDS) and active sites that were under its jurisdiction when they were initially contaminated. The 661-acre Spring Valley site in Washington, D.C. is one such site. Like many other FUDS, the U.S. Army used the Spring Valley site during World War I for research and testing of chemical agents, equipment, and munitions. Most of the site is now privately owned and includes private residences, a hospital, and several commercial properties. The primary threats at the site are buried munitions, elevated arsenic in site soils, and laboratory waste; perchlorate was also found on site. This testimony discusses GAO's past work relating to remediation efforts at FUDS and military munitions sites to provide context for issues at Spring Valley. Specifically, it addresses the following: (1) the impact that shortcomings in information and guidance can have on decision making, (2) the impact that incomplete data can have on cost estimates and schedules, (3) how funding for a particular site may be influenced by overall program goals, and (4) how better coordination can increase public confidence in cleanups and facilitate effective decision making. GAO has made several prior recommendations that address these issues, with which, in most cases, the agency concurred.
