EPA Region 1 Superfund Remediation Goals Methodology

EPA Region 1 has issued a Superfund Remediation Goals Methodology document establishing the technical framework for determining appropriate cleanup levels at Superfund sites in New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont). The methodology likely addresses risk assessment approaches, exposure scenarios, and target concentrations for contaminants.

Responsible parties, Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), environmental consultants, and developers involved in Superfund remediation projects in Region 1 should monitor this consultation. The methodology will affect how cleanup goals are established and evaluated at contaminated sites, potentially impacting remediation costs and timelines for parties involved in Superfund cleanup.
