§ 101-47.401-4 - Decontamination.

The holding agency shall be responsible for all expense to the Government and for the supervision of decontamination of excess and surplus real property that has been subjected to contamination with hazardous materials of any sort. Extreme care must be exercised in the decontamination, and in the management and disposal of contaminated property in order to prevent such properties becoming a hazard to the general public. The disposal agency shall be made cognizant of any and all inherent hazards involved relative to such property in order to protect the general public from hazards and to preclude the Government from any and all liability resulting from indiscriminate disposal or mishandling of contaminated property.
