Technical Report · Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5897456

The document describes the recommended approach for evaluating and remediating Superfund sites with PCB contamination. It provides starting point cleanup levels for various media that may become contaminated and identifies other considerations important to ensuring protection of human health and the environment that these cleanup levels may not address. The guidance also describes how to develop remedial alternatives for PCB contaminated materials that are consistent with Superfund program expectations and requirements. The guidance concludes with a discussion of considerations unique to PCBs that should be considered in the nine criteria evaluation and likely tradeoffs between options that are likely to occur.
