Book Description
The United States may not be able to make all hazardous-waste sites as clean as possible. Therefore, priorities must be set for the timing of waste site remediations. This book assesses several of the government's methods of ranking sites for remediation and compares the performance of three such models using input data developed from the same set of waste sites. Because inconsistent methods may be neither effective nor prudent, the book recommends that the government consider developing a unified national approach to setting priorities to replace the current multiple approaches.

Book Description
Superfund cleanup timing has been a long-standing concern of the Congress & EPA. In the Superfund Amendments & Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Congress set time goals for EPA & federal agencies to evaluate individual nonfederal & federal sites for placement on the National Priorities List (NPL) & begin various cleanup actions. In 1992, EPA introduced several initiatives designed to expedite Superfund cleanups. This report examines trends in the time taken to evaluate & process hazardous waste sites for possible placement on the NPL & to clean up these sites following their listing. Tables & graphs.
