Mr. W. Russ Ashworth Director, Office of Management Services U.S. Department of Agriculture South Agriculture Building 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Rm 1456 Washington, D.C. 20250-9338

Dear Mr. Ashworth:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act (OPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which USDA NPL sites are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five~Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets.

We appreciate USDA's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update of the aforementioned measures:

• Environmental Indicators By fhe end of FY2010, EPA has a nafionally esfablished overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

sites (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI slalus and 109 federal NPL sites achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control EJ status. Using our FY201 0 mid~ year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Under Control at BELTSVILLE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER and af FREMONT NATIONAL FOREST/ WHITE KING AND LUCKY LASS URANIUM MINES

Additionally, EPA believes that Groundwater Migration is Under Control at FREMONT NATIONAL FOREST/WHITE KING AND LUCKY LASS URANIUM MINES; hOlVever, fhere is Insufficient Data to make a Groundwater Migration determination at BELTSVILLE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER Please provide us with your estimate of when USDA expecfs BELTSVILLE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER to achieve a status of Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinci indicators: i) Acres Protectedfor People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anlicipaled Use (RA U). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number oj sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRA U). Ailiand-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (aU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in Ihe Decision Documenl(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OU's or parcels have been designated as RA U, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

BELTSVILLE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER and FREMONT NATIONAL FORESTIWHITE KiNG AND LUCKY LASS URANIUM MiNES are currently not planned to accomplish this measure within the next several years.

• Construction Completion As YOIl are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofCCs at all Federal sites in the context of ensuring the protection oj human health and the environment. FREMONT NA TIONAL FORESTIWHITE KiNG AND LUCKY LASS URANIUM MINES achieved this measure in FY2006, and BELTSVILLE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER is currently not planned to accomplish this measure within the next several years.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine i/the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. BELTSVILLE AGRICULTURA L RESEARCH CENTER is currently not scheduled for a 5YR, and FREMONT NATIONAL FOREST/ WHITE KiNG AND LUCKY LASS URANIUM MINES completed its latest 5YR in FY2010.

in FY20iO, EPA 's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve irs role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmitted this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL sites. Achjevement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and USDA. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency. and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated sites. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identify opportunities for more community involvement.

Page 3: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort, called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (lCI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (i.e., Superfund Remedial, Removal, Federal Sites, and Brownfields) to address a greater number of contaminated sites, accelerate cleanups, and put sites back into productive use while protecting human health and the envirorunent. As a first step, EPA has committed to a new publicly reported performance measure in FY2011 - an increase in completion of Superfund remedial action projects. This new measure better demonstrates ongoing progress and risk reduction at Superfund sites and provides the opportunity to better manage our cleanup program. We will be talking with USDA more about this new measure as we move forward toward the 2011 reporting date.

Thank you in advance for your efforts to work with EPA in ensuring that we continue to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL sites. I ask that your organization work with our regional offices, and the Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO), to continue efforts to achieve protective cleanups and utilize these measures to communicate our joint successes in doing so. FFRRO's Office Director is John Reeder and he can be reached at (703) 603-9089 or at [email protected]. You can also contact Gail A. Cooper, FFRRO' s Deputy Director and management lead for measures at (703) 603-0049 or at [email protected].

The Honorable Addison D. Davis IV Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment,

Safety, and Occupational Health U.S. Department of the Army 110 Anny Pentagon, Rm 30453 Washington, D.C. 203 10-0 II 0

Dear Mr. Davis:

The purpose of thi s annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of the Army (Army) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Performance and Results Act COPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which Army NPL facilities are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (El); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We appreciate the Anny's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. In particular, I'd like to emphasize the importance of your Services' continued participation in the EPA/DoD Goal Hannonization Workgroup. Through this workgroup we hope to 1) better align our reporting metrics I measures, 2) develop ajoinl target setting process, 3) and improve our external metric communication and reporting. Eventually, we envision a closely aligned process for establishing goals and measuring progress of NPL cleanups.

• Environmental Indicators By the end of FY20JO, EPA has a nationally established overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

facilities (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and 109 federal NPLfacililies achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control E1 status. Using our FY2010 mid-year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Not Under Control or has Insufficient Data at 9 a/your 43 NPLfacilities (2/%). For your convenience, the complete fist is attached to this letter. Please provide us with a brief estimate of when (fiscal year) the Army expects these 9 installations to qualify as Hurna" Exposure Under Control.

Page 5: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater Migration is Not Under Control or has insufficient Data (40%). Please provide us with your estimate o/when the Army expects these 16 installations to achieve a status 0/ Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: 1) Acres Protectedfor People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RA U). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU). Alliand-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (OU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OUs or parcels have been deSignated as RA U, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the jnstallation meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

There are three Army NPLfacilities targetedfor SWRAU in FY2010. Please confirm that these three facilities will be able to reach this milestone this fiscal year. There is currently one Army Federal facility NPL installation which is planned to achieve this milestone in FY20il, and three in FY2012 (please see attached list). Please verify whether this planning data is accurate.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. For FY20iO, there is one Army facility targeted to achieve this measure. EPA is currently showing that the Army will achieve one CC in FY20ii, and there are 2 facilities planned for FY20i2.

We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofCCs at all Federalfacilities in the context of ensuring the protection of human health and the environment. Please respond confirming whether the Army agrees with the provided CC planning data, and the likelihood that these targeted candidates will achieve CC on, or be/ore, schedule.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. Nine Army 5YRs are targetedfor completion in FY20iO. Any 5YR listing highlighted in red in the chart below means that, as of mid-year FY201O, the report had not been finalized and was overdue. Please provide us with an explanation of why the Army believes these statutorily required Five-Year Reviews have not been completed.

The Honorable Olga Dominguez Assistant Administrator Office of Infrastructure National Aeronautics and Space Administration Two Independence Square 300 E Street, SW, Suite 4074 Washington, D.C. 20546

Dear Ms. Dominguez:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act (OPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which NASA NPL sites are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (SYR). Although SYRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We appreciate NASA's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update of the aforementioned measures:

• Environmental Indicators By the end oj FY2010, EPA has a nationally established overall goal oj 148 Federal NPL

sites (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and J09 federal NPL sites achieVing the Groundwater Migration Under Control EI status. Using our FY2010 mid­year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Under Control at LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE/NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER and JET PROPULSION LABORATORY

However, EPA believes that there is Insufficient Data to make a Groundwater Migration determination at LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE/NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER. The Groundwater Migration status at JET PROPULSION LABORATORY is Under Control. Please provide us with your estimate of when NASA expects LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASEINASA

Page 15: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER to achieve a status o/Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: i) Acres Protected/or People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready/or Anticipated Use (RA U). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number 0/ sites which are SWRA U. All land-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (aU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective/or human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all au's or parcels have been designated as RA U, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria/or becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

Neither NASA NPL sile is currently targetedfor a SWRAU accomplishment in the near future.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one a/the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress 0/ cleanup activities. We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement o/ces at all Federal sites in the context a/ensuring the protection 0/ human health and the enviranment. LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE/NASA LANGLEY RESEA RCH CENTER is currently planned to achieve CC in FY20J 2. Please respond with NASA's assessment 0/ the likelihood that the CC will occur on, or before, schedule at LANGLEY.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine iflhe remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. One NASA 5YRs is targeted/or completion in FY20JO. Any 5YR listing highlighted in red in the charI below means that, as of mid-year FY20JO, the report had not been finalized and was overdue. Please provide us wilh all explallalion of why NASA believes this statutorily required Five-Year Review, due ill 2003, has nol been compleled.

In FY20iO, EPA 's inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmitted this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the envirorunent at Superfund NPL sites, Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and NASA. Many communities have expressed

an interest in more transparency, and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated sites. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identify opportunities for more community involvement.

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort, called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (lCI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (i.e., Superfund Remedial, Removal, Federal Sites, and Brownfields) to address a greater number of contaminated sites, accelerate cleanups, and pu.t sites back into productive use while protecting human health and the environment.

As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which ANG NPL facilities are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI) ; Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets.

We appreciate ANG's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update of the aforementioned measures:

• Environmentallndicators By the end of FY201 0, EPA has a nationally established overall goal of 1 48 Federal NPL

the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRA U). AlIland-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (OU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is used/or acres which are protective/or human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OU's or parcels have been designated as RA V, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria/or becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

We are happy to report that OTIS AIR NATIONAL GUA RD BASE/CAMP EDWARDS achieved the status ofSWRAU in FY20IO.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofCCs at all Federal facilities in the context 0/ ensuring the protection o/human health and the environment. We are pleased to report that OTIS AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE/CAMP EDWARDS achieved its CC in FY20IO.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. OTIS AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE/CAMP EDWARDS is not due to have another 5 YR completed within the next few years.

In FY2010, EPA 's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness o/the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmilted this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL facilities. Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and the ANG. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency, and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated facilities. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identify opportunities for more community involvement.

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort, called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (ICI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (i.e., Superfund Remedial , Removal, Federal Facilities, and Brownfields) to address a greater number of contaminated sites, acce lerate cleanups, and put sites back into productive use while protecting human health and the environment. As a first step, EPA has committed to a new publicly reported performance measure in FY2011 - an increase in completion of Superfund remedial action projects. This new measure better demonstrates ongoing progress and risk reduction at

The Honorable Wilma A Lewis Assistant Secretary U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, NW Washington, D.C, 20240

Dear Ms. Lewis:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of Interior (001) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which DOl NPL sites are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (El); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets.

We appreciate DOl ' s continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update of the aforementioned measures:

• Environmental Indicators By the end of FY201O, EPA has a nationally established overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

sites (OUI of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and /09 federal NPL sites achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control EI status. Using our FY20JO mid­year dara, EPA believes thaI there ;s Insufficient Dala to make a Human Exposure status determination at SANGAMO ELECTRIC DUMP/CRAB ORCHARD NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. EPA believes that the LEE ACRES LANDFILL site is Human Exposure Under Control. Please provide liS witll a brief estimate 0/ wilen (fiscal year) DOl expects tile CRAB ORCHARD site to qualify as Human Exposure Under Control.

Additionally, EPA believes thaI there ;s InsuffiCient Data to make a Groundwater Migration status determination at SANGAMO ELECTRIC DUMP/CRAB ORCHARD NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. EPA believes that the LEE ACRES LANDFILL site is Groundwater Migration Under Control. Please provide us witll a brie/ estimate o/wllen (FIScal

year) DOl expects the CRAB ORCHARD site to qualify as Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewidc Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any stale or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: I) Acres Protectedfor People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RAU). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU). Allland-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (OU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OU's or parcels have been designated as RAU, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

LEE ACRES LANDFILL site achieved SWRAU in FY2007. However, SANGAMO ELECTRIC DUMP/CRAB ORCHARD NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE is not currently scheduled to achieve this measure over the next several years.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activi/ies. For FY20J 0, there is one facility targeted to achieve this measure. EPA is currently showing thaI DOl will achieve zero CCs in FY201 J, but there are 4 sites planned to achieve this measure in FY20J 2.

LEE ACRES LANDFILL site achieved CC in FY2005. However, SANGAMO ELECTRIC DUMP/CRAB ORCHARD NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE is not currently scheduled to achieve this measure until FY2017. Please verifY whether or not the planning date for Crab Orchard is accurate.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. LEE ACRES LANDFILL completed its 5YR in FY20IO, and SANGAMO ELECTRIC DUMP/CRAB ORCHARD NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE has an upcoming 5YR to be completed by FY2011.

In FY20JO, EPA's Inspector General (lG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmitted this report to you under separate cover.

Dear Mr. McGhee:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the United States Air Force (Air Force) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act COPRA) measures. As yOll know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL si tes, orwhich Air Force NPL facilities arc a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We appreciate the Air Force's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. In particular, I ' d like to emphasize the importance of your Services' continued participation in the EPA/DoD Goal Harmonization Workgroup. Through this workgroup we hope to I) better align our reporting metrics/measures, 2) develop a joint target setting process, 3) and improve our external metric communication and report ing. Eventually, we envision a closely aligned process for establishing goals and measuring progress ofNPL cleanups.

• Environmental Indicators By the end of FY2010, EPA has a nationally established overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

facilities (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control E1 status and 109 federal NPLfacilities achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control El status. Using our FY2010 mid-year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Not Under Control or has Insufficient Data at 5 o/your 37 NPLfacilities (14%). For your convenience, the complete list is attached to this leller. Please provide liS witlt a brief estimate of wit ell (fiscal year) tlte Air Force expects tltese 5 illstallations to qllalify as Hilmall Exposure U"der Control.

Additionally, EPA believes that there are 5 Air Force NPL installations (out of 37 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater Migration is Not Vnder Control or has Insufficient Data (J 4%). Please provide us with your estimate of when the Air Force expects these 5 installations to achieve a status o/Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinci indicators: /} Acres Protectedfor People (PFP) and 2} Acres Ready for Anticipated Vse (RAU). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Vse (SWRA V). AlIland-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Vnit (OU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective/or human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s} have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OUs or parcels have been designated as RA V, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria/or becoming SWRAV (for NPL sites only).

There is one Air Force NPLfacility targeted/or SWRAV in FY20iO. Please confirm that this facility will be able to reach this milestone this fiscal year. There are currently zero Air Force Federalfacility NPL installations planned to achieve this milestone in FY20li, and three in FY20]2 (please see attached list). Please verify whether this planning data is accurate.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA 's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress 0/ cleanup activities. For FY2010 and FY2011, EPA is currently showing that the Air Force will achieve zero CCs. However, there is one/acility planned to achieve this measure in FY20J 2.

We are very inlerested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement olCCs at all Federal/acilities in the context 0/ ensuring the protection a/human health and the environment. Please respond confirming whether or not the Air Force agrees with the provided CC planning data, and the likelihood that the one FY2012 candidate will achieve CC on, or before, schedule.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. Ten Air Force 5YRs are targetedfor completion in FY2010. Any 5YR listing highlighted in red in the chart below means that, as o/mid-year FY20IO, the report had not been finalized and was overdue. Please provide us with an explanation a/why the Air Force believes these statutorily required Five- Year Reviews have not been completed.

In FY20JO, EPA's Inspector General (lG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the

The Honorable Lynne A. Osmus Assistant Administrator for

Security and Hazardous Materials U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Room 300 Easl Washington, D.C. 20591

Dear Ms. Osmus:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act (OPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which DOT NPL sites are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (El); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five~ Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets.

We appreciate DOT's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update ofthe aforementioned measures:

• Environmental Indicators By the end oJFY20IO, EPA has a nationally established overall goal oj 148 Federal NPL

sites (out 0/173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and 109 federal NPL sites achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control E1 status. Using our FY2010 mid­year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Under Control at FEDERAL A VIA TION ADMINISTRATION TECHNICAL CENTER and at STANDARD STEEL & METAL SALVAGE YARD. Additionally, EPA also believes that Groundwater Migration is Under Control at FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TECHNICAL CENTER and at STANDARD STEEL & METAL SALVAGE YARD.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: 1) Acres Protected/or People (PFP)

Page 33: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RAU). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU). Allland-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (aU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OU's or parcels have been designated as RA U, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the site meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

STANDARD STEEL & METAL SALVAGE YARD achieved SWRAU in FY2008, however, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TECHNICAL CENTER is not scheduled to achieve this measure within the next several years.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofCCs at all Federal NPL sites in the context of ensuring the protection a/human health and the environment. STANDARD STEEL & METAL SALVAGE YARD achieved CC in FYI999, however, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TECHNICAL CENTER is not scheduled to achieve this measure within the next several years.

• Five· Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. However, neither STANDARD STEEL & METAL SALVAGE YARD nor FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TECHNICAL CENTER are scheduled/or another 5YR completion over the next couple years.

In FY2010, EPA's Inspector General (IG) peljormed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmitted this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL sites. Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and the DOT. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency, and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated sites. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identify opportunities for more community involvement.

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort, called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (ICI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (i.e., Superfund Remedial, Removal, Federal Sites, and Brownfields) to address a greater number of

Page 34: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

contaminated sites, accelerate cleanups, and put sites back into productive use while protecting human health and the environment. As a first step, EPA has committed to a new publicly reported perfonnance measure in FY2011 - an increase in completion of Superfund remedial action projects. This new measure better demonstrates ongoing progress and risk reduction at Superfund sites and provides the opportunity to better manage our cleanup program. We will be talking with the DOT more about this new measure as we move forward toward the 20 11 reporting date.

Thank you in advance for your efforts to work with EPA in ensuring that we continue to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL sites. I ask that your organization work with our regional offices, and the Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO), to continue efforts to achieve protective cleanups and utilize these measures to communicate our joint successes in doing so.

Rear Admiral Thomas P. Ostebo Assistant Commandant

for Engineering and Logistics United States Coast Guard 1900 Half Street, SW Washinglon, D.C. 20593-000 I

Dear Admiral Ostebo:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the United States Coast Guard (USaC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act (GPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which USGC NPL facilities are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (El); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets.

We appreciate USGC's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update of the aforementioned measures:

• Environmental Indicators By rhe end of FY2010, EPA hos 0 nationally esrablished overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

facilities (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control E1 status and 109 federal NPLfacUities achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control E1 status. Using our FY2010 mid-year data. EPA believes that Human Exposure is Under Control at CURTiS BAY COAST GUARD YARD. Additionally, EPA believes that Groundwater Migration is also Under Control or CURTIS BAY COAST GUA RD YARD.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Super fond program has its own acreage measure independent 0/ any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: I) Acres Protected/or People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RA U). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are SWRA U. All land-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (OU) or parcel.

Page 36: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective/or human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RA U designation is used for acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (ifnecessary) have been put in place. Once all OU's or parcels have been designated as RA U, and the f acility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

CURTIS BAY COAST GUA RD YARD is currently not planned 10 accomplish this measure within the next several years.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. We are very interesled in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofces at all Federal fac ilities in the context 0/ ensuring the protection of human health and the environment. However, CURTIS BAY COAST GUARD YARD is currently not planned to accomplish this measure within the next several years.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. However, CURTiS BAY COAST GUARD YARD is currently not scheduled to have a 5YR within the next several years.

In FY20iO, EPA's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmilled this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL facilities. Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and the USGc. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency, and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated faci lities. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identi fy opportunities for more community involvement.

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort, called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (lCI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (i.e., Superfund Remedial, Removal, Federal Facilities, and Brownfields) to address a greater number of contaminated sites, accelerate cleanups, and put sites back into productive use while protecting human health and the environment. As a first step, EPA has committed to a new publicly reported performance measure in FY20 II - an increase in completion of Superfund remedial action projects. This new measure better demonstrates ongoing progress and risk reduction at Superfund sites and provides the opportuni ty to better manage our cleanup program. We wi ll be talking with the USGC more about this new measure as we move forward toward the 2011 reporting date.

Thank you in advance for your efforts to work with EPA in ensuring that we continue to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL facilities. I ask that your organization work with our regional offices, and the Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO), to continue efforts to achieve protective cleanups and utilize these measures to communicate our joint successes in doing so.

Mr. Jan Reitman Staff Director Environment, Safety and Occupational Health-DES-E Andrew T. McNamara Building 8725 John J. Kingman Road Defense Logistics Agency Ft. Belvoir, Virginia 22060-6621

Dear Mr. Reitman:

The purpose of thi s annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Performance and Results Act (OPRA) measures. As you know, EPA arUlually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which DLA NPL facilities are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We apprec iate DLA's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. In particular, I'd like to emphasize the importance of your Services' continued participation in the EPA/DoD Goal Hannonization Workgroup. Through this workgroup we hope to 1) better align our reporting metrics/measures. 2) develop a joint target setting process, 3) and improve our external metric communication and reporting. Eventually, we envision a closely aligned process for establishing goals and measuring progress of NPL cleanups.

• Environmental Indicators By the end of FY2010, EPA has a nationally established overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

facilities (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control El status and 109 federal NPLfacililies achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control EI status. Using our FY2010 mid-year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Under Control at all 5 of your NPLfacililies. For your convenience, the complele lisl is attached to this letter. Additionally, EPA believes thaI all 5 DLA NPL installations have a status a/Groundwater Migration Under Control

Page 39: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Super fond program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: J) Acres Protectedfor People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RAU). Additionally, the Super fond program measures the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRA U). Alliand-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (OU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective/or human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under COnlrol). The RAU designation is usedfor acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OUs or parcels have been designated as RA U, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

There are zero DLA NPL/acilities targetedfor SWRAU in FY20iO. There is currently one DLA Federalfacility NPL installation which is planned to achieve this milestone in FY20i i, and one in FY20i 2 (please see attached list). Please verify whether this planning data is accurate.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA 's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. For FY20JO, the one targeted/acility has already achieved this measure. EPA is currently showing that DLA will achieve one more CC in each FY20ll and FY2012.

We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofCCs at all Federal facilities in the conlexl of ensuring the protection of human health and the environment. Please respond confirming whelher or not DLA agrees wilh the provided CC planning dala, and Ihe likelihood thai the targeled candidales will achieve CC on, or before, schedule.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. One DLA 5YR is targetedfor completion in FY20JO.

In FY20JO, EPA's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management oj Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmitted this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL facilities. Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EP A and DLA. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency, and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated facilities. EPA

The Honorable Donald Schregardus Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Environment U.S. Department of the Navy 1000 Navy Pentagon, Rm BF986 Washington, D.C. 20350-1000

Dear Mr. Schregardus:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act (GPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NFL sites, of which Navy NPL facilities are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (El)~ Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (El); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We appreciate the Navy's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. In particular, I'd like to emphasize the importance of your Services ' continued participation in the EPA/DoD Goal Harmonization Workgroup. Through this workgroup we hope to I) better align our reporting metrics/measures, 2) develop a joint target setting process, 3) and improve our external metric communication and reporting. Eventually, we envision a closely aligned process for establishing goals and measuring progress ofNPL cleanups.

• Environmental Indicators By the end oj FY2010, EPA has a nationally established overall goal oj 148 Federal NPL

facilities (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and 109 federal NPLfacilities achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control £1 status. Using our FY2010 mid-year data, EPA believes that Human Exposure is Not Under Control or has Insufficient Data at 8 of your 54 NPLfacilities (/5%). For your convenience, the complete list is attached to this letter. Please provide us with a brief estimate of when (fiscal year) tlte Navy expects these 8 inst'!/lations to qualify as Human Exposure Under Control.

Additionally, EPA believes that there are 18 Navy NPL installations (out of 52 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater Migration is Not Under Control or has Insufficient

Data (35%). Please provide us with your estimate a/when the Navy expects these 18 installations to achieve a status a/Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: I) Acres Protected/or People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RA U). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are SUewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRA U). Allland-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable UnU (OU) or parcel.

There are two Navy NPL/acilities targetedfor SWRAU in FY2010. Please confirm that these two facilities will be able to reach this milestone this fiscal year. There is currently one Navy Federalfacility NPL installation which is planned to achieve this milestone in FY201 I, and one in FY2012 (please see attached list). Please verify whether this planning data is accurate.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA 's CC measure ;s one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress 0/ cleanup activities. For FY2010, there is one facility targeted to achieve this measure. EPA is currently showing that the Navy will achieve zero CCs in FY2011, but there are 4 facilities planned to achieve this measure in FY2012.

We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement ofCes at all Federal/acilities in the context of ensuring Ihe protection of human health and the environment. Please respond confirming whether or not the Navy agrees with the provided CC planning data, and the likelihood that the/our FY2012 candidates will achieve CC on, or be/ore, schedule.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance of a

remedy in order to determine iflhe remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. Nine Navy 5YRs are targetedfor completion in FY2010. Any 5YR listing highlighted in red in the chart below means that, as of mid-year FY2010, the report had not been finalized and was overdue. Please provide us with an explanation 0/ why the Navy believes these statutorily required Five-Year Reviews have not been completed.

In FY20JO, EPA 's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five-Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, ele. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management ot Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmitted this report to you under separate cover.

The Honorable Ioes R. Triay Assistant Secretary for

Environmental Management U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washinglon, D.C. 20585-0113

Dear Ms. Triay:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Performance and Results Act (OPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund N PL sites, of which DOE NPL sites are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (El); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (EI); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We appreciate DOE's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. Below is a status update of the aforementioned measures:

• Environmental Indicators By the end oJFY2010, EPA has a nationally established overall goal oj 148 Federal NPL

sites (out of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and 109 federal NPL sites achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control EI status. Using our FY2010 mid­year data, EPA believes that all DOE sites are Human Exposure Under Control. For your convenience, the complete list is allached ( a this leller.

However, EPA believes that there are 8 DOE NPL siles (out of21 sites with Groundwater) al which Groundwater Migration is Not Under Control or has Insufficient Data (38%). Please provide us wit" your estimate o/whell DOE expects these 8 sites to achieve a status o/Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Superfund program has its own acreage measure independent of any stale or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: 1) Acres Protectedfor People (PFP)

Page 54: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

and 2) Acres Ready/or Anticipated Use (RA U). Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number 0/ sires which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRA U). AlIland-based Superfund acres are designated by Operable Unit (aU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RAU designation is used/or acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s} have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been pUI in place. Once all au's or parcels have been deSignated as RA U, and the/acility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria/or becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

There is one DOE NPL site targeted/or SWRAU in FY20JO. Please confirm that this site will be able to reach this milestone this fiscal year. There also is currently one DOE Federal facility NPL site which is planned to achieve this milestone in FY20JJ, and two in FY20J2 (please see attached list). Please verify whether this planning data is accurate.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress a/cleanup activities. We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement o/CCs at all Federal sites in the context a/ensuring the protection of human health and the environment. However, zero DOE NPL sites are currently planned to accomplish this measure within the next several years.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance a/a

remedy in order to determine iJthe remedy is, or will be, protective a/human health and the environment. Zero DOE 5YRs are targetedfor completion in FY20JO, and zero DOE 5YRs are currently overdue.

In FY2010, EPA's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness of the reports, elc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmilled this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers a ll of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL sites. Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and DOE. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency, and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated sites. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identify opportunities for more community involvement.

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort, called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (ICI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (Le., Superfund Remedial , Removal, Federal Sites, and Browntields) to address a greater number of contaminated sites, accelerate cleanups, and put sites back into productive use whi le protecting

Page 55: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

human health and the environment. As a first step, EPA has committed to a new publicly reported perfonnance measure in FY20 11 - an increase in completion of Superfund remedial action projects. This new measure better demonstrates ongoing progress and ri sk reduction at Superfund sites and provides the opportunity to better manage our cleanup program. We will be talking with DOE more about this new measure as we move forward toward the 20 11 reporting date.

Thank you in advance for your efforts to work with EPA in ensuring that we continue to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL sites. I ask that your organization work with our regional offices, and the Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO). to continue efforts to achieve protective cleanups and utilize these measures to communicate our joint successes in doing so. FFRRO's Office Director is John Reeder and he can be reached at (703) 603-9089 or at [email protected]. You can also contact Gail A. Cooper. FFRRO's Deputy Director and management lead for measures at (703) 603-0049 or at cooper.gai/[email protected].

The Honorable Dorothy Robyn Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for

Installations and Environment 3400 Defense Penlagon, Rm 3B856-A Washinglon, D.C. 20301-3400

Dear Dr. Robyn:

The purpose of this annual letter is to ensure close coordination between the U.S. Department of Defense (000) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in meeting key Government Perfonnance and Results Act (GPRA) measures. As you know, EPA annually tracks accomplishments at Superfund NPL sites, of which 000 NPL facilities are a part. These measures include: Human Exposure Environmental Indicator (EI); Migration of Contaminated Groundwater (El); Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU); Construction Completions (CC); and Five-Year Reviews (5YR). Although 5YRs are not GPRA measures, they are a very important activity and EPA reports annually to Congress our progress towards meeting these targets. Please see attached charts for site-specific data on these measures.

We appreciate DoD's continued efforts to work with EPA to ensure that we are accurately capturing our progress toward protection of human health and the environment. In particular, I'd like to emphasize the importance of your Services' continued participation in the EPA/DoD Goal Harmonization Workgroup. Through this workgroup we hope to 1) better align our reporting metrics/measures, 2) develop a joint target setting process, 3) and improve our external metric communication and reporting. Eventually, we envision a closely aligned process for establishing goals and measuring progress of NPL cleanups.

• Environmental Indicators By the end of FY2010, EPA hos a notionolly established overall goal of 148 Federal NPL

facilities (Ollt of 173) achieving the Human Exposure Under Control EI status and J09 federal NPLfacilities achieving the Groundwater Migration Under Control E1 status. Using our FY2010 mid-year data, EPA believes that Hllman Exposure is NOl Under Control or has Insufficient Data at 22 of your 140 NPL /acilities (16%). For your convenience, the complete list is attached to this letter. Please note that Hamilton Island Landfill, a US Army Corps of Engineers facUity, is deletedJrom the NPL and excludedJrom the list below. Please provide us with a brief estimate o/whell (fiscal year) DoD expects these 22 ills/al/ations to qualify as Human Exposure Under COlltrol.

Page 61: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

Additionally, EPA believes that there are 39 DoD NPL installations (out of J 35 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater Migration is Not Under Control or has Insufficient Data (29%). Please provide us with your estimate o/when DoD expects these 39 installations to achieve a status 0/ Groundwater Migration Under Control.

• Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use EPA's Super fond program has its own acreage measure independent of any state or

agency. EPA measures acres with two distinct indicators: I) Acres Protectedfor People (PFP) and 2) Acres Ready for Anticipated Use (RA Uj. Additionally, the Superfund program measures the number of sites which are Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRA U). Allland-based Super fond acres are designated by Operable Unit (OU) or parcel.

The PFP designation is usedfor acres which are currently protective for human health (i.e. Human Exposure is Under Control). The RA U designation is used for acres which are protective for human health, all cleanup goals in the Decision Document(s) have been achieved, and all institutional controls (if necessary) have been put in place. Once all OV's or parcels have been deSignated as RA V, and the facility is already Construction Complete, the installation meets the criteria for becoming SWRAU (for NPL sites only).

There are seven DoD NPLfacilities targetedfor SWRAV in FY2010. Please confirm that these seven facilities will be able to reach this milestone this fiscal year. There are currently three DoD Federalfacility NPL installations which are planned to achieve this milestone in FY20J 1, and eight in FY20J 2 {please see attached list}. Please verify whether this planning data is accurate.

• Construction Completion As you are aware, EPA 's CC measure is one of the primary tools used by EPA to report

the progress of cleanup activities. For FY2010, DoD has achieved 3 of the four planned CCs. The one remaining is NORFOLK NAVAL BASE (SEWELLS POINT NAVAL COMPLEX). EPA is currently showing that DoD will achieve two CCs in FY20J J, and there are 8/acilities planned to achieve this measure in FY2012.

We are very interested in accurately and realistically projecting the achievement olCCs at all Federal facilities in the context 01 ensuring the protection of human health and the environment. Please respond confirming whether or not DoD agrees with the provided CC planning data, and the likelihood that the eight FY2012 calldidates will occur on, or be/ore, schedule.

• Five-Year Reviews Five-Year Reviews are conducted to evaluate the implementation and performance o/a

remedy in order to determine if the remedy is, or will be, protective a/human health and the environment. Twenty-nine DoD 5YRs are targeted/or completion in FY20JO. Any 5YR listing highlighted in red in the chart below means thaI, as of mid-year FY20JO, the report had not been finalized and was overdue. Please provide liS with an explanation a/why DoD believes these statutorily required Five-Year Reviews have IlOt been compleled.

Page 62: 2010 EPA Letters Regarding Remediation Metrics …...Additionally, EPA believes that there are i6 Army NPL installations (out of 40 facilities with Groundwater) at which Groundwater

In FY20/0, EPA 's Inspector General (IG) performed an audit on Federal Facility Five­Year Review reports, their associated data, their Issues and Recommendations, timeliness a/the reports, etc. The IG recommends that EPA improve its role in, and management of, Federal facility 5YRs. We have transmilled this report to you under separate cover.

The agency considers all of these measures of critical importance because they enable us to report to the public and Congress where actions have been taken to protect human health and the environment at Superfund NPL facilities. Achievement of these measures is based on a continually successful partnership between EPA and 000. Many communities have expressed an interest in more transparency. and involvement in the cleanup of contaminated facilities. EPA is committed to implementing a management strategy to identify opportunities for more community involvement.

In addition, EPA is initiating an aggressive multi-year effort. called the Integrated Cleanup Initiative (leI), to integrate and leverage its land cleanup authorities (i.e., Superfund Remedial, Removal.
