Environmental guidance regulatory bulletin
On September 22, 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the final Off-Site Rule, which defines criteria for approving facilities for receiving waste from response actions taken under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compentation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The primary purpose of the Off-Site Rule is to clarify and codify CERCLA`s requirement to prevent wastes generated from remediation activities conducted under CERCLA from contributing to present or future environmental problems at off-site waste management facilities. Even transfer facilities are required to be acceptable under the final rule before they can accept CERCLA waste. Because the decisions regarding the choice of the remedy for cleanup of a CERCLA site may depend on the acceptability of the receiving facility, the Off-Site Rule could affect both the schedule for cleanup as well as the array of feasible remedies from which to choose.
