BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE



Report To The Secretary Of Defense




OF THE UNITED STATES




DOD Can Make Further Progress

In Controlling Pollution From

Its Sewage Treatment Plants


The Department of Defense (DOD) has spent over one
billion dollars for either facility improvement or for
connection to civilian sewage treatment systems
since fiscal year 1976. Although DOD has made a
great effort to improve its sewage treatment plants to
meet compliance requirements, efforts have not been
completely successful. To ensure that the most cost-
effective sewage treatment methods are used, GAO
recommends that the DOD institute methods to assure
that the services comply with DOD policy by carefully
evaluating all feasible treatment alternatives, includ-
ing regional or municipal tie-ins. Also, DOD should
require written justifications supporting the selection
of sewage treatment alternatives that differ from
those recommended by cost-effectiveness studies.

To improve the operation and maintenance of DOD
treatment plants, GAO recommends that the Secre-
tary of Defense direct the services to provide more
specific guidance to their bases on how to assure
adequate plant operation and maintenance to comply
with permit requirements.
