Region 6 Corrective Action Strategy (CAS)
(formerly the Risk Management Strategy - RMS)
for
RCRA Projects
The EPA Region 6 developed a Corrective Action Strategy
(CAS) guideline to accelerate corrective action at RCRA facilities.
This document is intended to help regulators and facilities make meaningful
progress with corrective action at RCRA sites by: 1) prioritizing corrective
action at facilities by focusing on sites that pose the most significant
risk, and 2) by streamlining corrective action administrative procedures.
The overriding goal of the CAS is the protection of human health and
the environment.
The CAS is intended to be:
1) an interim flexible guide for accelerating
corrective action
2) a tool for authorized states, facilities, and EPA
3) a basis to initiate pilot projects to refine the strategy, what works
.. what does not
4) a living document that will be improved and updated based upon experience
in implementing CAS
5) entirely consistent with national policy, and is intended help accelerate
attainment of GPRA goals
6) a result of stakeholder input (states, industry, and environmental
partners)
The Region would like to thank the various stakeholders for their participation
in the development of this guide. We anticipate that this Web Page will
be routinely updated to include information on the evolution of the Corrective
Action Strategy, and to provide information on specific CAS projects in
which EPA is participating.
