The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) establishes a nationwide program for the cleanup of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. This program is implemented through provisions of the National Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 300, which sets forth the process by which response actions will be selected and evaluated. Such response actions must meet the need for protection of public health, welfare, and the environment in the most cost-effective manner. Therefore, three broad criteria have been established for selecting and evaluating response actions: engineering feasibility; costs; and public health, environmental, and institutional impacts. The objective of this manual is to provide technical guidance relative to these criteria on the selection and implementation of response actions at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites with drums.
