Abstract
Contaminated sites located on European military installations of the U.S. Army, Europe, are not treated the same as contaminated sites on U.S. Army bases in the United States. On U.S. Army, Europe bases, cleanup is generally triggered by generic numerical criteria, such as the “Dutch list,” and cleanup standards are generally set by host nation environmental officials. Although the U.S. Army, Europe does not now establish any priority in funding cleanup of these sites, policy is changing to favor the use of a screening model to allow priority funding of contaminated site cleanup under a “worst first” policy.
