Presumptive remedies for Superfund sites
Since Superfund`s inception in 1980, the remedial and removal programs have identified categories of sites with similar characteristics, such as types of contaminants present, past disposal practices, or the ways environmental media are affected. Based on the wealth of information acquired from evaluating and cleaning up these sites, Superfund has undertaken an initiative to develop presumptive remedies to accelerate future cleanups for these site categories. The objective of the presumptive remedies initiative is to use the program`s past experience to streamline site investigations and speed up selection of cleanup actions. Over time, presumptive remedies are expected to ensure consistency in remedy selection, and reduce the cost and time required to clean up similar types of sites.
