Superfund accelerated cleanup model

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6832875

In an effort to speed and maximize cleanup of the worst sites first, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the Superfund Accelerated Cleanup Model (SACM). SACM streamlines the Superfund process so hazardous waste sites can be addressed quicker and in a more cost effective manner. EPA Regional offices developed a number of pilot projects to test the principles of SACM. Although many pilots are underway in the Regions, the pilots described here involve four areas: accelerating cleanup through early actions; integrating site assessments; using Regional Decision Teams to establish priorities; and accelerating cleanup through the use of new technology.
