In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the status of the Department of Defense's (DOD) Installation Restoration Program (IRP), which is a program to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act's requirements for cleanup of DOD hazardous waste sites.
Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of Defense | The Secretary of Defense should revise the IRP policy on coordination with regulatory agencies. The revised policy should provide for increased and earlier involvement of EPA and state regulatory agencies in all IRP phases and should be uniform for all services. |
When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
