$100 MILLION DOD CLEANUP CLUB

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@igc.org>]

The following will appear in the forthcoming "Military Contamination 
and Cleanup Atlas for the United States," to be published in September 
by SFSU CAREER/PRO and the Pacific Studies Center. We suggest you 
reduce the font size and adjust your tabs to make the table read properly.

 $100 MILLION CLUB

 The U.S. military lists 81 distinct facilities with a projected 
Defense Department cleanup cost, from start to completion, of more than 
$100 million each. We list them below, in descending order by total 
estimated cleanup cost. For a map of the $100 Million Club, see the 
front cover of this Atlas.
 Containing more than 4,100 individual sites where investigation 
or cleanup is in progress, these bases represent the bulk of the 
currently planned cleanup program. Through fiscal year 1994, nearly $4 
billion had been spent at these installations, and the Pentagon 
projects an additional expenditure - from fiscal 1995 on - of over $17 
billion, for a total exceeding $21 billion. None of these figures 
include expenditures by other responsible parties, such as Shell Oil at 
the Rocky Mountain Arsenal or Intel at Moffett Field.
 This list covers cleanups funded through the Defense 
Environmental Restoration Account and the Base Realignment and Closure 
(BRAC) accounts, not other programs such as the special appropriations 
for the remediation of the Hawaiian island of Kaho'olawe. As elsewhere 
in this book, the [BRAC] marking for closure or realignment refers 
specifically to facilities being closed or reduced in size under BRAC 
legislation. Other closing facilities, such as the Rocky Mountain 
Arsenal, are not so denoted.
 In general, the figures here do not cover the remediation of 
munitions impact ranges. The military and environmental regulatory 
agencies have not yet determined the rules and procedures for requiring 
the removal of unexploded bombs and shells. Using currently available 
technology, the clearing of former and closing ranges for public use 
would bump a large number of other facilities onto this list.
 Finally, we have stayed with the Defense Environmental 
Restoration Program Annual Report's definitions of the installations. 
At some locations contiguous facilities are listed separately. For 
example, the Pearl Harbor complex in Hawaii does not make this list, 
even though their combined cleanup estimate exceeds $100 million - and 
in fact, the Environmental Protection Agency treats them as a single 
"Superfund" site.

NPL denotes bases currently on the "Superfund" National Priorities 
List. 
BRAC denotes bases undergoing closure or downsizing realignment.
FUDS denotes Formerly Used Defense Sites.
