Are We Cleaning Up? 10 Superfund Case Studies (June 1988) Are We Cleaning Up? 10 Superfund Case Studies June 1988 NTIS order #PB89-139018 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Are We Cleaning Up? 10 Super- fund Case Studies–Specia] Report, OTA-ITE-362 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, June 1988). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 88-600545 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword In a few years, Superfund became part of the American vocabulary because so many people feel so strongly about toxic waste. and cleanup of contaminated sites. They remain worried about environmental and health effects, but a new con- cern has come to the fore: the enormous amount of money and the long times to clean up an ever-growing list of Superfund sites. Yet, even while the public de- mands effective cleanups, nearly everyone speaking and writing about Superfund seems to feel that serious problems exist. And the focus of public attention has shifted from how much money ought to go to Superfund to how to achieve environ- mental results and efficiency. Right now there are more questions than answers about diagnosing and f!xing Superfund. Four committees of Congress asked the Office of Technology Assessment to assess how Superfund is being implemented under the 1986 Superfund Amend- ments and Reauthorization Act. They asked OTA to examine a number of technical issues that arise near the beginning of the complex Superfund process. The study was to assess the impacts of statutory provisions and program policies on environ- mental effectiveness and economic efficiency. The requesting committees were: the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation and its Investigation and Oversight Subcommittee; the House Energy and Commerce Committee and its Oversight and Investigations, and Transportation, Tourism, and Hazardous Ma- terials Subcommittees; the Subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Over- sight of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee; and the Subcom- mittee on Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources of the House Government Operations Committee. During our Superfund Implementation assessment we realized that we could learn much by finding out how sites progress through the Superfund program and how—and when—critical decisions about their cleanup are being made. Before we could answer tough but general questions about making Superfund work better, we had to know more about what was actually going on. This special report presents 10 case studies of recent Superfund decisions at sites which OTA believes, from surveying over 100 recent cleanup decisions, to be representative of a broad range of contamination problems and cleanup technologies. We hope that everyone af- fected by Superfund can learn as much as we have from these case studies. Many people have helped OTA with these case studies, especially Environmental Protection Agency staff around the country who provided us with primary infor- mation about the sites. Several companies that are responsible parties at sites also provided key documents. Responsibility for the contents of this document, of course, rests with OTA, JOHN H. GIBBONS Director .

  • Community Involvement Plan Montana Pole and Treating Plant Superfund Site Butte, Montana
    Community Involvement Plan Montana Pole and Treating Plant Superfund Site Butte, Montana February 2017 Purpose The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Superfund Community Involvement Program is committed to promoting communication between the community and the agencies. Active community involvement is crucial to the success of any public project. For the Montana Pole and Treating Plant (Montana Pole) Superfund Site, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ, formerly MDHES) is the lead agency and has responsibility for site management and community relations activities. The community involvement activities at the Montana Pole site are designed to: Inform the public of the nature of environmental issues associated with the site Involve the public in Superfund decisions that will affect them Involve the public in program responses under consideration Inform the public of progress being made to implement cleanup remedies The purpose of the Superfund Community Involvement Plan (CIP) is to summarize public concerns about the site and outline how people can engage throughout the Superfund process. The CIP synthesizes and presents information from meetings and interviews with members of the Butte community. MDEQ interviewed a range of private citizens, local government officials, and representatives from businesses and community organizations. As the lead agency, MDEQ is responsible for implementing the community involvement program outlined in this CIP. The plan will be adapted as necessary to meet changing needs as site activities progress. To provide feedback or recommendations about this plan, please contact the DEQ Waste Management and Remediation Division at 406-444-6444. 2| Montana Pole and Treating Plant 2017 Community Involvement Plan Table of Contents Purpose .......................................................................................................................................................

  • Electrical Safety Trainer Guide
    FOCUS 4 CONSTRUCTION SAFETY & HEALTH Electrical Safety Trainer Guide This material was produced under grant number SH-16586-07-06-F-36 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Depart- ment of Labor. It does not necessarily refl ect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Labor, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. SECTION #4 Curriculum on Electrical Safety mGOALm To provide a basic understanding of how electricity works and how to protect ourselves from common electrical hazards, both on and off the job. INTRODUCTION Electrocution is the fourth leading cause of work-related death for construction workers. On average, one worker is electrocuted on the job every day in the United States. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS This training curriculum is primarily designed for workers without any formal training on electricity, although electricians may also benefi t from a review. The document focuses on some of the fundamentals of electricity, electrical wiring, electric tools, protective methods and devices, and related work methods and safe practices in the construction industry. The material is presented using an interactive training method. The curriculum focuses on common AC wiring, as found in homes and on construction sites. It also includes information on power line safety. This curriculum is not all-inclusive. It does not cover every electrical hazard nor does it describe every applicable OSHA electrical standard. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We have drawn extensively from several sources in preparing this material. These include: ● Electrical Safety for Non-Electricians, by CSEA/Local 1,000 AFSCME ● Electrical Safety: Safety and Health for Electrical Trades, by NIOSH ● Thanks to the Construction Safety Council for permission to use their information on power line safety.
