Dingell Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce House of Representatives The Honorable Thomas J. Manton Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Finance and Hazardous Materials Committee on Commerce House of Representatives The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify severely contaminated hazardous waste sites and place them on the National Priorities List for cleanup under the Superfund program. The progress of cleanup work at National Priorities List sites has been a focus of congressional and EPA attention over the history of the program. National Priorities List sites generally follow a regular path toward cleanup that includes a study of site conditions and an evaluation of cleanup alternatives, the selection of one or more cleanup remedies (that is, the cleanup standards and techniques to be used at site), and the design and construction of the remedies. Given the congressional interest in the status of sites on the National Priorities List, you asked us to (1) determine the progress the Superfund program has made in selecting remedies at both federal and nonfederal sites; (2) verify the accuracy of the information in the Superfund database on sites’ cleanup progress; and (3) determine the number of cleanup projects that cannot be started in fiscal year 1998 because of a lack of funding.

  • Ohio River Park Site Operable Unit Three Neville Island Allegheny County, Pennsylvania February 1998
    SUPERFUND PROGRAM PROPOSED PLAN Ohio River Park Site Operable Unit Three Neville Island Allegheny County, Pennsylvania February 1998 INTRODUCTION The United States Environmental Protection Agency Region HI (EPA) has identified the Preferred Alternative to address hazardous contamination in groundwater, surface water, and sediment at the Ohio River Park Superfund Site ("Site") located on Neville Island in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (see Figure 1). The major components of EPA's Preferred Alternative (Alternative 3 in this Proposed Plan) include monitored natural attenuation, and institutional controls. (Terms in bold print are defined hi the Glossary.) This Proposed Plan is based on site-related documents contained in the Administrative Record for the Site including the Remedial Investigation, the Baseline Risk Assessment, v the Ecological Risk Assessment1, the Feasibility Study, and the Intrinsic Remediation Demonstration. The Administrative Record is at the following locations: Coraopolis Memorial Library U.S. EPA-Regipn ffl Docket Room State and School Streets Ms. Anna Butch Coraopolis, PA 15108 841 Chestnut Building, 9th Floor (412)264-3502 Philadelphia, PA 19107 (215) 566-3157 EPA and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania encourage the public to review and comment on the Preferred Alternative, the Proposed Plan, and other documents hi the Administrative Record file. The public comment period begins on February 25, 1998 and closes on March 26, 1998. On March 17, 1998, at 7:00 p.m., EPA will hold a public meeting to discuss the Proposed Plan at the Neville Township Municipal Building, 5050 Grand Avenue, Neville Island, PA. Written comments, postmarked no later than March 26, 1998, should be sent to: 1 The ERA consists of Sections 1.0 - 3.0 of the Draft Ecological Risk Assessment prepared by the Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) as supplemented by EPA's Data Interpretation, dated November 18, 1994.

  • It's Time to Prioritize Climate Threats
    10. DUNDAS_ (DO NOT DELETE) 2/4/2020 7:00 PM CERCLA: IT’S TIME TO PRIORITIZE CLIMATE THREATS Lindsey Dundas∗ Climate change will bring more extreme weather, including increased flooding and wind damage, to all stretches of the United States. These effects of climate change will cause pro- found consequences for communities living near sites with a legacy of toxic waste. With 1,883 Superfund sites on the Na- tional Priorities List and countless other U.S. properties with some degree of contamination, climate change will re- sult in increased risk of exposure for surrounding local popu- lations and environments. Currently, the Hazard Ranking System does not consider effects of climate change when cal- culating the risk a site poses to the public. Without consider- ing associated climate risks, the sites are not accurately ranked on the National Priorities list, and resources under CERCLA may not be adequately allocated. This Comment explores an approach to modifying the cur- rent CERCLA regime to account for climate change while calculating a site’s score under the Hazard Ranking System. I argue that the process of ranking sites on the National Pri- orities List must be updated to account for associated climate risks. This change should be made by updating the current formula through rulemaking by the Environmental Protec- tion Agency.

  • Administrator's Emphasis List 2017-2021
    MAKING DECISIONS AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN SUPERFUND ADMINISTRATOR’S EMPHASIS LIST 2017-2021 Following a key recommendation of the Superfund Task Force, EPA released the initial Administrator’s Emphasis List in December 2017. It identified 21 sites from across the United States targeted for immediate and intense attention. The Superfund site remedial process is a multi-step process that can be delayed, sometimes for years, for any number of reasons. In developing this list, EPA considered sites that could benefit from the Administrator’s direct engagement and that had identifiable actions to protect human health and the environment that were yet to be completed. These sites required timely resolution of specific issues to expedite cleanup and redevelopment efforts. The Administrator’s Emphasis List identified site-specific milestones covering a broad spectrum of issues at sites across the United States. Milestones covered National Priorities List listing, remedy selection, investigations and settlement agreements. The list was designed to be dynamic and to spur action at sites where opportunities exist to act quickly and comprehensively. The resolution of an issue at a particular site can often provide information and insight into how to resolve similar issues at other sites and thus, provide lessons learned that can be applied broadly to the Superfund program. Significant progress has been made at each of the sites because of this special emphasis. Information on the Administrator’s Emphasis List can be found at https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-sites- targeted-immediate-intense-action. Since the creation of the Administrator’s Emphasis List in 2017, EPA has achieved critical milestones at 28 sites that have moved site cleanups forward.
