Sens. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), 
both of whom championed the WRDA provisions, ask the administration for 
a detailed explanation of the status of the reforms.

"Three of the most significant of these programmatic reforms, 
independent peer review, safety assurance review, and mitigation 
reforms, became effective upon enactment," the lawmakers wrote to 
Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant Army secretary for civil works. "We are 
extremely concerned that almost two years later, little progress has 
been made to implement these critical reforms."

The letter also was signed by Environment and Public Works Chairwoman 
Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Mary 
Landrieu (D-La.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.).
