Defense Environmental Restoration Program Annual Report to Congress for Fiscal Year 1990

Abstract

The Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) was established in 1984 to promote and coordinate efforts for the evaluation and cleanup of contamination at Department of Defense (DoD) installations. In order to accomplish the recovery of military installations and DoD sites the program currently consists of two major elements: (1) The Installation Restoration Program (IRP), where potential chemical contamination, fuel contamination, ground water pollution and other toxic hazards are investigated and, as necessary, site cleanups and disposal are conducted. (2) Other Hazardous Waste (OHW) Operations, through which research, development, and demonstration programs aimed at reducing DoD hazardous waste generation rates are conducted. Also included are training of DoD personnel, progress reports at NLP sites, information of the reclamation process and site selection.
