Why is funding for prior BRAC efforts so low?
Congress has appropriated $2.8 billion for environmental activities at BRAC installations. The FY 2005 BRAC restoration funding is $127 million. BRAC environmental funding requirements for installations in the past four BRAC rounds will further decrease as DOD completes environmental restoration requirements and transfers land to new ownership. Specific funding levels can be found in the Fiscal Year 2004 Annual Report to Congress for Defense Environmental Programs.
