Stella;
The sad part for those of us 'citizen stakeholders' who care about the 
clean-up of our near bases, is that we are forced to depend on the EPA 
to be our advocate.  Then, we are assigned staff that when we want to 
know what the military response to a problem is, we only need to get one 
from the EPA rep.
The need here is to rewrite the legislation that puts them in the same 
room with the DOD in charge.  This is independance...Hardly!

As disappointing as this information was, I am not surprised.  I have 
witnessed what I perceive as a long drawn out EXPENSIVE argument between 
the regulated and the regulators which wasted time and money considering 
the small return it netted.

I was never 'privy' to BCT meetings therefore I could never make a
judgment nor logical deduction over what or who was doing the arguing, 
over what, etc. I cannot make any judgments at this point over what 
Lenny has written except to ask the question/comment that these are 
adults sitting around these tables, surely from an adult viewpoint, by 
all, these arguments can stop?
Tongue in cheek, of course, but maybe someone trained in psychology 
mediation should be present at all  meetings to preserve the true reason
why they are sitting at a table to begin with.
