Capitol Hill Anthrax Incident: EPA's Cleanup Was Successful; Opportunities Exist to Enhance Contract Oversight
In September and October 2001, the first cases of anthrax
bioterrorism occurred in the United States when letters
containing anthrax were mailed to congressional leaders and
members of the news media. As the cleanup of the Capitol Hill
anthrax site progressed, EPA's estimates of the cleanup costs
steadily rose. GAO was asked to describe (1) the costs EPA
incurred to conduct the cleanup and how it was funded, (2) the
extent to which EPA awarded the cleanup contracts competitively,
(3) EPA's oversight of the contractors' work and any suggested
changes to EPA's contracting practices, and (4) the extent to
which EPA agreed to indemnify contractors against liability for
potential damages related to the cleanup.
