[CPEO-MEF] Interim Policy on Land USe Controls Associated w/ Envir.Restoration A

[StellaVB@aol.com]

Please post for me!

I have reviewed the aforementioned document.  There is a great lack of 
seriousness in the language and DoD, as well as the entities accepting 
contaminated properties/LUC's MUST address these types of documents from the 
bottom line:
health and safety of the public and environment.

As I reviewed the language I found it inappropriate and lacking gravity due 
to one small simple word:  "should".  Wherever the word "should" if found 
needs to be replaced with the word "shall".  In regards to law, statutes, 
codes, etc. each of these words carry great weight.  "Should" does not hold 
any of the entities to follow through.  "Shall" makes it mandatory.

It cannot be stressed enough that DoD and those entities accepting these 
contaminated parcels must address the health and safety issues with the most 
severe 'legal' language.  Each and every document DoD puts out regarding 
BRAC/FUDS sites must abide by the same severe language.  Only then will 
stakeholders believe the bottom line:
health and safety of the public and environment.
