The document outlines a pilot study project initiated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in cooperation with multiple military departments to assess 659 military sites under a voluntary agreement. The project aims to determine the resolution status of these sites, finalize a report with recommendations, and facilitate efficient evaluation processes, with completion expected within two years. The study also examines how existing assessments align with military and regulatory evaluations, particularly focusing on discrepancies noted at Army sites.

2. Cooperative Multisite Agreement (CMSA) Voluntary agreement between Pennyslvania the Depts. of the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Defense Logistics Agency - 1998 Incentives vs Enforcement 5 fundamental incentives 27 performance-based incentives

3. Major Components Master Plan- lists 1076 military/FUDS sites Annual Planning Process Annual Plan Annual Report Scheduled Site List (66) Study Site List (657) Deferred Site List Resolved Sites (53)

4. Pilot Study Project 659 NOFA sites Study a representative sample of the sites (67 initially). Selections based on region work load and military components Determine reliability of military’s NOFA determinations. Complete within two years.

5. Pilot Study Project (cont.) Result in Pennsylvania DEP “sign-off” or sites’ entry into the planning process. Will probably result in categorical conclusions. Military will provide existing file & database information. DEP will completely fund & carry out the study program.

6. Pilot Study Objectives Determine if the 67 pilot sites can be considered to be RESOLVED according to the Agreement.. Investigate resolving classes of sites and resolve additional sites if within the project scope. Investigate how sites might be resolved most efficiently.

7. Pilot Study Objectives (cont.) Determine resources needed to complete an evaluation of all 659 sites by 2010. Provide a Final Report with recommendations for resolving all 659 sites.
