Abstract

EPA has announced final revisions to the National Contingency Plan (NCP), which lays the ground rules for how EPA and other federal agencies, states and private parties clean up hazardous wastes sites and discharges of oil. The new NCP serves to strengthen key areas of the Superfound implementation process as recommended in EPA Administrator William Reily's so called 90-day Management Review in June 1989. The management review emphasized technologies development, public involvement, and realistic goals, such as making sites safer and addressing worst sites first. The National Priorities List (NPL) is EPA's list of those sites posing the greatest danger or potential danger to human health and the environment. There are currently 1219 sites on the NPL. Other issues addressed in the new NCP include informing the public of the types of remedies that EPA has selected, or anticipates selecting; strengthening state involvement by authorizing states to conduct investigations, analyses and remedy selections at federal Superfund sites; and measuring success of site cleanups.
