Delegate Gregorio Kilili C. Sablan (Ind-MP) said the U.S. Army Corps  
of Engineers has spent $9.5 million over the last 10 years to clean  
up hazardous waste left behind by the U.S. military in the CNMI.

The agency has also set aside $4 million this year for the cleanup of  
three areas contaminated with leftover military activities during and
