The Dept. of Energy (DOE) has made great progress in accelerating the pace of cleanup over the past few years, and current estimates show that 80% of the Environmental Management site cleanups will be completed by the year 2021. These changes reflect a more focused technical baseline -- oriented towards results and fueled by performance-based contracts -- and a fundamental change in strategy, which involves: addressing urgent risks first; stabilizing sites; investing in technology development and basic science; reducing mortgage costs; and basing decisions on future land use considerations.
