Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Defense's (DOD) environmental cleanup, compliance, and technology activities. GAO found that: (1) recent DOD initiatives affecting environmental cleanup include efforts to focus funding on actual cleanup, instead of study and oversight, better target funds through the use of risk determination, and devolve the budget process to the military services; (2) DOD lacks the data it needs to manage its environmental compliance program; (3) although DOD has required the services to use an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classification system, DOD was unable to provide data on spending by EPA classification; and (4) DOD plans to implement an online strategic environmental technology plan that will show specific service requirements and match ongoing and planned initiatives.

Book Description
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on certain aspects of the Department of Defense's (DOD) environmental compliance and cleanup activities, focusing on the: (1) extent to which DOD components are meeting requirements to provide data on the cost and status of compliance projects; and (2) relative risk characteristics DOD uses to determine priorities for site cleanup. GAO noted that: (1) not all the information that DOD, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Congress have identified as required for compliance oversight is being provided; (2) DOD components do not provide detailed expenditure data on compliance activities; (3) DOD's reports to EPA do not provide such information as whether compliance projects address existing or expected noncompliance; (4) in addition, some data in DOD's latest report to Congress were not complete or correct; (5) DOD used a relative risk site evaluation methodology in designating 4,472 of 8,534 sites as high-risk; (6) GAO's analysis of reported data on 407 high-cost sites, including 266 considered high risk, indicates that DOD includes a range of site characteristics within its high-risk category; (7) at 54 percent of the sites that were designated as high-risk, all three elements used by DOD to make priority determinations were reported present; (8) at the remaining 46 percent of the sites one or two of the elements, but not all three, were reported present; and (9) in addition, the reported levels of contamination at 58 of the 407 sites GAO analyzed were less than the standard DOD used to determine whether a site is contaminated.
