Appendix A: Summary of EPA’s Superfund Remediation Process
The following is an outline and references for the EPA’s Superfund remedialprocess. This is a condensed version of EPA’s Superfund Web Page (Ref. A.1).See EPA’s web site for more details by clicking on the titles of each sectionbelow. Also, EPA has a general guidance on the Superfund process, CERCLASuperfund Orientation Manual (Ref. A.2).
1. Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection (PA/SI)The PA and SI are used by EPA to evaluate the potential for a release ofhazardous substances from a site. A PA is a limited-scope investigationperformed on every CERCLIS site, see Guidance for PerformingPreliminary Assessments Under CERCLA (Ref. A.3). A SI identifies sitesthat enter the National Priorities List (NPL) Site listing process andprovides the data needed for Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scoring anddocumentation. The EPA publication Guidance for Performing SiteInspections Under CERCLA, Interim Final, (Ref. A.4) provides moreinformation on conducting SIs. Sites with a HRS score of 28.50 or greaterare eligible for listing on the NPL and require the preparation of a HRSscoring package.
2. Hazard Ranking SystemThe HRS is the principal mechanism EPA uses to place uncontrolledwaste sites on the NPL. For more information, please consult the EPApublications, The Hazard Ranking System Guidance Manual, InterimFinal, (Ref. A.5) and the December 14, 1990 Federal Register, HazardRanking System; Final Rule (55 FR 51532) (Ref. A.6).
3. NPL Site Listing ProcessSites are listed on the NPL upon completion of HRS screening, publicsolicitation of comments about the proposed site, and after all commentshave been addressed. Sites are first proposed to the NPL in the FederalRegister. EPA then accepts public comments on the sites, responds tothe comments, and places on the NPL those sites that continue to meetthe requirements for listing.
4. Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS)After a site is listed on the NPL, a RI/FS is performed at the site. The RIserves as the mechanism for collecting data to characterize siteconditions; determine the nature of the waste; assess risk to human healthand the environment; and conduct treatability testing to evaluate thepotentialperformance and cost of the treatment technologies that are beingconsidered. The FS is the mechanism for the development, screening,and detailed evaluation of alternative remedial actions. The EPA’s
guidance is Guidance of Conducting Remedial Investigations andFeasibility Studies Under CERCLA (Ref. II.1).
5. Record of Decision (ROD)The ROD is a public document that explains which cleanup alternativeswill be used to clean up a Superfund site. The EPA’s guidance is A Guideto Preparing Superfund Proposed Plans, Record of Decision, and OtherRemedial Selection Decision Documents (Ref. A.7).
6. Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA)The RD is the phase in cleanup where the technical specifications forcleanup remedies and technologies are designed. The RA follows theremedial design phase and involves the actual construction orimplementation phase of the site cleanup. The EPA’s guidance isRemedial Design/Remedial Action Handbook (Ref. A.8).
7. Construction CompletionEPA has developed a construction completions list (CCL) to simplify itssystem of categorizing sites and to better communicate the successfulcompletion of cleanup activities. Sites qualify when any necessaryphysical construction is complete, whether or not final cleanup levels orother requirements have been achieved; EPA has determined that theresponse action should be limited to measures that do not involveconstruction; or the site qualifies for deletion from the NPL. The CloseoutProcedures for National Priorities List Sites (Ref. A.9) provides guidanceon achieving the construction completion milestone.
8. Post Construction CompletionThe goal of Post Construction Completion activities is to ensure thatSuperfund response actions provide for the long-term protection of humanhealth and the environment. EPA's Post Construction Completionactivities also involve optimizing remedies to reduce cost and/or increaseeffectiveness without sacrificing long-term protection of human health andthe environment. The EPA’s guidance are Superfund Post ConstructionCompletion: An Overview (Ref. A.10) and Superfund Post ConstructionCompletion Activities (Ref. A.11).
9. Operation and Maintenance (O&M)O&M is an important component of a Superfund response to ensure thatthe remedy performs as intended and to protect the integrity of theselected remedy for a site. Actions range from maintaining engineeringcontainment structures (e.g., landfill covers) to operating ground waterremediation systems. Generally, O&M are the responsibility of thePotentially Responsible Parties, States, or other Federal agencies. See
EPA’s guidance, Operation and Maintenance in the Superfund Program(Ref. A.12).
10.NPL Site DeletionsDeletion of sites from the National Priorities List (NPL) may occur once allresponse actions are complete and all cleanup goals have been achieved.EPA has the responsibility for processing deletions with concurrence fromthe State. Deleted sites may still require five-year reviews to assessprotectiveness. See EPA’s guidance, Closeout Procedures for NationalPriorities List Sites (Ref. A.13).
