Environmental Indicators
| While the ultimate goal of the RCRA Corrective Action Program is
to achieve final cleanups, we are measuring the intermediate success
of the program against our GPRA goals. The program is monitoring intermediate
progress by tracking two Environmental Indicators (EIs), the human
exposure and groundwater EIs, which are the main focus of the corrective
action GPRA goals. These indicators measure progress in environmental
terms rather than the administrative process steps that were previously
monitored. Measuring and recording our progress toward these goals
will be a top priority for EPA and the States over the next several
years.
