el segundo, California

Cost So Far

$11.3M

Money already spent on the evaluation and cleanup of hazardous sites.

Expected Additional Cost

$212K

The estimated amount of money needed for evaluation and cleanup of hazardous sites at this installation.

Completion Date

2018

The date the DOD says cleanup of all sites was completed. Long term monitoring may continue after this date.

42 Hazardous Sites

Note: We are not showing a map of this installation's hazardous sites because we don't have location data for any of them. If you have more information, please contact us. The risk level of a site refers to a relative risk assessment made by the DOD to prioritize the cleanup of sites.

1 Active Site

Sites where military cleanup actions are still ongoing. The risk level of a site refers to a relative risk assessment made by the DOD, which prioritizes the cleanup of sites that pose greatest threat to safety, human health, and the environment.

Update (Dec. 5, 2017): We have changed the source of the installation cost data after being notified by the Department of Defense that they erroneously reported their own cost figures on the DERP website. We are now displaying the costs the department says are the most accurate available, from the Pentagon’s DERP database that we received in a FOIA request.

Note: The risk level of a site refers to a relative risk assessment made by the DOD to prioritize the cleanup of sites.

Data: All data comes from the Defense Environmental Restoration Program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will be released soon at the ProPublica Data Store. Read our methodology »
