ARARs identified in 40 CFR Part 300 (Fed. Reg. November 20, 1985), and Commonwealth of Massachusetts regulations considered to be ARARs, were reviewed, and written summaries of the procedural and technical requirements of these documents were prepared. These summaries are presented in Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of this document. Other federal regulations, policies, executive orders, and guidance documents were reviewed for future consideration in assessing remedial actions. This document is intended to serve as a tool in providing a comprehensive and well-documented analysis of ARARs for use during the screening and evaluation of remedial alternatives. 9.86.198 0006.0.0 2.0 CHEMICAL-, LOCATION-, AND ACTION-SPECIFIC ARARs ARARs were separated into three distinct categories: chemical- specific, location-specific, and action-specific to reflect the latest EPA ARAR compliance policy. For each category, a checklist consisting of federal and state regulations, criteria, advisories, procedures, and guidance documents was completed in order to identify site-specific ARARs. Each ARAR identified as site-specific was then distinguished as either applicable, relevant and appropriate, or to be considered. Chemical-specific ARAR checklists are contained in Section 2.1 and location-specific checklists are in Section 2.2 of this report. Action-specific ARAR checklists were completed for each of eight technologies identified as components of remedial action alternatives for the New Bedford Harbor site. Sections 2.3 to 2.10 contain action-specific checklists for the following technologies: dredging transportation water treatment contained aquatic disposal thermal treatment on-site disposal off-site disposal upland disposal 9.86.198 0007.0.0 OJ 4-1 •O XI O rH A OJ 14 •0 H d <0 to », 11) •a o/ •H •H € 3 4J IH LI IH CO 01 4-1 SH l o a t-H to O o 01 01 • IH a XI "« to CO 3 HH tH •O rH to rl CO 01 rH CO rl 01 IH •o •H ,0 to 01 4J <0 4-1 OJ rH px 01 01 •D OJ to CO CO 4J CO O •H to P.
