Book Description
The Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security asked Clean Sites to undertake an independent review of the Department's Environmental Restoration Program. The first phase was an independent assessment of the Department's progress in identifying and restoring contaminated areas. In this phase, completed in the summer of 1996, Clean Sites undertook a thorough review and analysis of the information the Department and EPA were collecting about the progress of the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), and concluded that the program is progressing reasonably well in terms of its own goals and comparison to other programs in the public and private sectors.
