Final Quick-Reaction Report on the Audit of Wastewater Treatment Plants at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, CA

摘要

On April 10, 1991, we announced an audit of DoD Wastewater Treatment Plants (Project No. lCG-0042). The objectives of the audit included evaluating DOD Components' plans to replace, expand, or upgrade wastewater treatment plants. During our audit, we found at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), Twentynine Palms, California, did not have an effective planning process for replacing, expanding or upgrading its wastewater treatment facilities. The MCAGCC planning process was not effective because management had not established policies and procedures to compare and %date wastewater treatment options and to meet program objectives. As a result, management could pursue duplicate or uneconomic projects. MCAGCC was considering two potentially overlapping wastewater treatment system projects that cost about $15.6 million rather than determining the best overall solution.
