[CPEO-MEF] CLEANUP: New "DERP Manual" released

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Maureen Sullivan

Director, Environmental Management

ODUSD(I&E)/EM

I am proud to announce the acting Under Secretary of Defense (AT&L) signed the DoD Manual (DoDM) 4715.20, Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) Management on March 9, 2012.  DoDM 4715.20 (DERP Manual) is a significant update of guidance established in 2001.  The DERP Manual cancels the Management Guidance for the DERP dated September 2001.  In addition to implementing DoD Directive 4715.1E and DoD Instruction 4715.7, the DERP Manual aligns the Department's environmental restoration activities with statutory requirements, increases transparency of cleanup efforts, and provides Installation Commanders greater flexibility and authority to consider mission requirements when sequencing cleanup work.

The manual is available on line at:
