DOD Operational Ranges: More Reliable Cleanup Cost Estimates and a Proactive Approach to Identifying Contamination Are Needed
For decades, the Department of Defense (DOD) has tested and fired
munitions on more than 24 million acres of operational ranges.
Munition constituents such as lead, trinitrotoluene (TNT), and
perchlorate may cause various health effects, including cancer.
Concerned about the potential cost to clean up munitions,
Congress required DOD to estimate the cost to clean up its
operational ranges. Congress asked GAO to determine (1) how DOD
identified the location and last use of operational ranges and
the basis for DOD's cost estimates for cleaning up those ranges;
and (2) DOD's policy to address contaminants linked to the use of
munitions on operational ranges and, where contaminants such as
perchlorate have been detected, what corrective actions the
military services have taken.
