Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Feb. 18, 1988
Report No. RCED-88-29
Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the: (1) problems the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and states experienced in obtaining and using hazardous waste facility groundwater monitoring data; and (2) actions EPA took to address the problems.

GAO found that: (1) 39 of the 50 land disposal facilities it reviewed had not achieved the groundwater monitoring goals EPA established for facility operations; (2) EPA program managers did not develop data quality objectives for groundwater monitoring until 1986; (3) after internal review, EPA set funding for the development of data quality objectives, training, and quality assurance at $270,000; (4) although a task force report recommended actions to improve the groundwater monitoring program, including the development of technical guidance, EPA has not issued any new technical requirements; and (5) EPA has established few quality control mechanisms to ensure the accuracy of the operator-provided data.
