DOD estimates that it will spend about $27 billion beginning in fiscal year 1998 to complete the cleanup of contaminated sites. This report discusses (1) the extent to which DOD has issued uniform relative risk site evaluation guidance and the application of the guidance by the defense components and (2) whether the relative risk site evaluation process provided data that enabled the defense components to categorize sites and prioritize required work. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-25/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-25.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-25/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-25.pdf GAO/NSIAD-99-25 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-25 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-99-25; Environmental Cleanup: DOD's Implementation of the Relative Risk Site Evaluation Process; Environment evaluation Pollution control Waste disposal Defense operations Prioritizing Military facilities Reporting requirements Environmental policies Health hazards
