CALIFORNIA DSMOA DOLLARS

The Department of Defense Cleanup office has reached a decision 
California's DSMOA (Defense State Memorandum of Agreement) 
reimbursements, and it is my understanding that California is adjusting 
its program accordingly. 

The allocations apply to a Cooperative Agreement covering two years, 
from July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1998. Calculations are based upon a 
2,080-hour year at a cost of $105,000 per person-year.

As previously agreed, California received $1,333,333 per month for the 
nine months from July 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997 - based upon that 
"burn rate from the previous year. The amount is being reduced in 
steps, as follows:

April, 1997 $1,234,697
May, 1997 $1,136,061
June, 1997 $1,037,425 

For the entire year beginning July, 1997, the monthly rate will be $938,788.

The two-year total, therefore, will be $26,673,636, 81.7% of which is 
designated for site-specific activity. Of the remainder, 15% (or about 
2.7% of the total) is designated for "Partnering and DSMOA program-wide 
meetings."
