Department of Defense cleanups not complete, report says
More than one-third of the remediation projects declared complete by the Department of Defense may in fact require additional remedial action, according to a recent General Accounting Office (GAO) report.
The GAO found that the Army Corps of Engineers did not have a sound basis for declaring that 1,468 (38 percent) of 3,840 formerly used defense sites (FUDS) require no further study or action.
