The Defense Environmental Restoration Program goals assist the Components in planning their programs and achieving funding for activities. We achieved our goal to reduce 50 percent of high risk sites at active installations by the end of fiscal year 2002 and are on track to achieve 100 percent by the end of fiscal year 2007. At BRAC installations,final remedy for 90 percent of the sites was in place by the end of fiscal year 2001, and we anticipatecompletion by the end of fiscal year 2005. We also are working to mitigate unexploded ordnance (UXO) on our military ranges. Our operationalranges are designed to train and make combat-ready our Nation's warfighters and prepare them as best as we can for combat. UXO on ranges is a result of our military preparedness training activities. However, we are activelyseeking ways to minimize the amount of UXO on our operational test and training ranges. The Department is developing policieson the periodicclearance of UXO for personnel safety and to ensure chemical constituents do not contaminate groundwater.
