520 _a"Nearly 30 years have passed since the military vowed to clean up the toxic waste it buried decades ago on bases across the country. But today [2003], as many bases are poised to declare the cleanup job complete or to start new lives as parks and housing subdivisions, there is fresh evidence of just how much the military has missed." (BALTIMORE SUN) This article addresses the military's cleanup of leftover pollution from its bases including "leaky underground fuel tanks, pesticides, buried chemical weapons, experimental bacteria, radioactive waste and live explosives." The hazardous risks posed to homeowners by these discarded chemicals and weapons is also addressed.
