Environmental Cleanup: Inconsistent Sharing Arrangements May Increase Defense Costs

Subject
Summary:

Environmental cleanup at the Defense Department's (DOD) government-owned, contractor-operated plants and the Rocky Mountain arsenal will take longer and cost far more than the military suggests. According to military service and Defense Logistics Agency data, however, projected costs will be $3 billion, or about 70 percent more, than reported by DOD. GAO's work at selected sites indicates that eventual costs will be even higher than indicated by DOD or the services. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 imposes liability for cleanup on a variety of potentially responsible parties, including facility operators and generators of hazardous substances. Lacking clear guidance from the Secretary of Defense, the services have developed policies that interpret their authority to seek cost sharing from other parties differently. Consequently, the services have not required that plant operators share in the cost of cleaning up past contamination.
