Rising U.S. energy consumption & concerns about dependency on foreign energy sources have prompted the admin. to aggressively pursue domestic oil & gas (O&G) prod., incl. prod. on public lands, which in turn has generated concern that the impacts of this activity may compromise the use of public land for other purposes. This report determined: (1) the extent to which the level of O&G develop. on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Mgmt. (BLM) has changed in recent years, & how the change has affected BLM's ability to mitigate impacts; (2) what policy changes related to O&G develop. BLM recently made & how these policies affected BLM's environ. mitigation activ.; & (3) what challenges BLM faces in managing its O&G program. Ill.
To date, the Dept. of Defense (DoD) has identified nearly 6,000 sites at its facilities that require groundwater remediation (GR) & has invested $20 billion over the past 10 years to clean up these sites. In the past, DoD primarily used pump-&-treatÓ technologies to contain or eliminate hazardous contaminants in groundwater. However, the long cleanup times & high costs of using pump-&-treat technologies often make them expensive & ineffective for GR. This report: described current DoD GR technologies; & examined whether any new technologies are being used or developed outside the Department that may have potential for DoD's use & the extent to which DoD is researching & developing new approaches to GR.
