EPA Region 6
EPA Region 6 is developing on a new long-term corrective action "measure of
success." It will be a new measure that recognizes when a site/facility
has been addressed or remediated to the extent that it is safe for
reuse or redevelopment. This is not intended to be a clean-closure
approach, rather it encourages cleanups that will quickly support
protective redevelopment opportunities.
As part of this effort, EPA and/or the states will provide a regulatory
"certification" that will be an affirmatory determination that the
site is considered acceptable for its designated reuse. This "certification"
will be called a Ready for Reuse Determination. The first of these
certificates was issued July 2 at Sheffield Steel Corporation, Sand
Springs, OK. For more information, contact Richard Ehrhart, Region
6, at ehrhart.richard@epa.gov.
