Hazardous Waste: Abandoned Disposal Sites May Be Affecting Guam's Water Supply

Abstract

In July 1986 you requested that we review the Department of Defense's efforts to identify and clean up abandoned hazardous waste disposal sites on its two installations in Guam, including an assessment of (1) the Installation Restoration Program's Phase I reports prepared for Andersen Air Force Base (AFB) and the Guam Naval Complex, (2) the safety of Andersen AFB's drinking water, and (3) regulatory agency involvement in the program. The results of our review are summarized below and discussed more fully in appendixes I, II, and III.
