Lenny,

Isn't this an interesting turn of events.  If these military sites are
really such threats to human health and the environment that DoD has
been steadily funding them up to now, how can the state permit continued
cleanup of those sites to be slowed down
when DSMOA is available to fund the oversight?  In fact, by allowing
them to slow down for purely bureaucratic reasons, the state is
admitting that the sites they really don't present very serious risk
after all.  Maybe DoD should slow down its CA funding stream down and
invest those limited resources where all parties agree that risk is
driving the cleanup.
