     According to a recent DOE publication titled "From Cleanup to Stewardship" there are 109 DOE sites that will require long-term stewardship.  The referenced publications (dated October 1999) provides the following chronology of site cleanup activities covering the periods 1989 through 2050:
In 1989, 126 sites were undergoing active cleanup.  Of the 18 completed sites, active stewardship was ongoing at nine sites, passive stewardship was occurring at one site, and no stewardship was required at eight sites.

In 1998, (ten years latter) fewer tan half of the 144 sites were still undergoing active cleanup.  Of the 74 completed sites, active stewardship was required at 39 sites, passive stewardship at two sites, and no stewardship at 33 sites.

By 2006, only 21 of these sites (15 percent) are expected to be undergoing active cleanup.  Of the 123 sites where cleanup is expected to be complete, active stewardship is anticipated at 84 sites, passive stewardship at four sites, and no stewardship at 35 sites.

Active cleanup is expect to be completed at all sites by 2050.  By then, active stewardship currently is anticipated at 103 sites, passive stewardship at six sites, and no stewardship at 35 sites.
