Superfund: Report of the EPA Superfund Revitalization Public Meeting Held on June24, 1992. Volumes 1 and 2

摘要

On June 24, 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its SuperfundRevitalization Office helda meeting to encourage public participation in identifying innovative, non-traditional approaches to expedite the Superfund cleanup process. The agenda was structured to focus on four particular topic areas: ways to speed up the Superfund cleanup program; ways to encourage and manage voluntary cleanups by potentially responsible parties; effective ways to involve the state, the community, and other interested parties in the entire Superfund cleanup process; and ways to realistically describe the expectations of the Superfund program, measure its success in achieving the program's goals, and communicate these goals and successes to interested parties. The report, organized along the lines of the topics outlined above, documents suggestions that were made by attendees at the meeting, as well as written comments that were prepared specifically to address the issues discussed at the meeting. The report also provides a summary of EPA follow-up actions currently under consideration.
