The Department of Defense (DOD), like a number of entities responsible for environmental contamination and remediation, is dealing with an area about which relatively little is known. In addition to the scientific complexity of the hazardous waste problem, are the complexity of the legal system which has been established, the difficulties inherent in policy implementation, the structure of the service agencies within DOD and the ``corporate culture`` of the Department itself. To combine the complex legal and technical problems associated with remediating hazardous waste sites with such a large and complex organization as DOD is to invite massive problems. The purpose of this study is to examine the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) to determine implementation obstacles (both internal and external) that DOD faces in making hazardous waste remediation policy work for the Department.
