Audit of contaminated and unexploded explosive ordnance legacy site liabilities .: D58-270/2015E-PDF
“The Department is taking action to address health and safety concerns at high priority contaminated sites and is improving supporting documentation retained for liability estimates. However, departmental policy and processes for contaminated and UXO legacy sites need improvement to ensure that authorities and responsibilities are clearly defined, and that there is an approved strategy for the management of UXO legacy sites and lower priority contaminated sites. In particular, policies and processes related to UXO legacy sites and Class 2 and 3 contaminated sites need improvement to ensure that such sites are managed in a consistent manner. To improve management oversight and to ensure that risk mitigation strategies result in the acceptance of an appropriate and approved level of risk, a formal review and approval of site management decisions should be implemented. Furthermore, given the health and safety risks posed by UXO legacy sites and Class 2 and 3 contaminated sites, additional program resources may need to be obtained in order to implement timely mitigation strategies. From a financial reporting perspective, notes to the financial statements require more detail so as to provide sufficient information to develop an understanding of the complete contaminated site and UXO legacy site inventory”--General conclusion, p. 17.
