Presumptive remedies: Site characterization and technology selection for CERCLA sites with volatile organic compounds in soils. Fact sheet

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5796020
Presumptive remedies are preferred technologies for common categories of sites, based on historical patterns of remedy selection and EPA's scientific and engineering evaluation of performance data on technology implementation. The directive identifies the presumptive remedies for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) sites with soils contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Soil vapor extraction (SVE), thermal desorption, and incineration are the presumptive remedies for Superfund sites with VOC-contaminated soil assuming the site characteristics meet certain criteria.
