BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Honorable Vic Fazio

House Of Representatives



OF THE UNITED STATES


Status Of Air Force Efforts To

Deal With Groundwater Contamination

Problems At McClellan Air Force Base

Since 1979, McClellan Air Force Base has
been studying groundwater contamination
problems at the base. At the request of
Congressman Vic Fazio, GAO reviewed a
key July 1983 study prepared by an Air
Force contractor aimed at identifying and
evaluating suspected problems associated
wilh past hazardous waste disposal sites at
McClellan.

GAO found that (1) the study has been
criticized by regulatory agencies for not
adequately addressing the magnitude and
extent of the base's environmental contami-
nation problem and (2) these agencies had
lirmited participation during the study. The
Ai Force has initiated actions to correct
m pst of the deficiencies in the study. Future
efforts at McClellan will include more in-
volvement by state and local regulatory
alencies.

Aithough current tests indicate that the
bose's water generally meets the state's
drinking water criteria, GAO believes more
Work may be warranted to substantiate the
safety of McClellan's drinking water.
