Description:
This Handbook is designed to help you as a regulator, member of the regulated community, or
member of the public find and understand EPA policies on protecting and cleaning up groundwater
at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action facilities1. EPA developed this Handbook as part of the RCRA
Cleanup Reforms (refer to
http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/ca/reforms.htm) that EPA announced in July 1999 and January
2001 (EPA, 2001d and EPA, 1999c). EPA’s goal for this Handbook is to help meet the objectives of these reforms by reducing time-consuming
uncertainties and confusion about EPA’s policies concerning groundwater protection and cleanup at RCRA facilities. We believe clarifying EPA’s groundwater policies will help promote faster, focused, and more flexible cleanups, and foster
creative solutions.
