GAO found that: (1) over half the facilities and 90 percent of the generators inspected were not in compliance with the act; (2) some installations stored hazardous waste for too long because contractors did not pick up the waste in a timely fashion or defaulted on their contracts, or DOD failed to issue delivery orders; (3) construction of storage facilities is behind schedule; and (4) DOD is not operating waste treatment plants at full capacity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e U.
