The paper describes the Superfund Soil Data Management System (DMS), a PC-based data system being developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its effort to manage and evaluate treatment and performance data for contaminated soil, sludge, and debris. The system will be used to support two basic EPA objectives: (1) technology transfer; and (2) support for the development of RCRA land disposal restrictions (LDRs) for contaminated soil and debris. CDM Federal Programs Corporation is supporting EPA in the development of this data base. EPA is compiling and evaluating soil, sludge, and debris treatment data from a variety of sources such as: EPA Superfund remedial and removal actions, RCRA and UST corrective actions, SITE program demonstrations, and other research programs; Department of Energy (DOE); Department of Defense (DOD); treatment vendors; private contractors; and research organizations. This influx of data has created the information management need addressed by the Superfund Soil DMS. Written in dBASE III+ (a popular PC-based data base language), the Superfund Soil DMS stores: Quantitative and qualitative data on ex-situ soil, sludge, and debris treatment technologies, Quality control (QC) data (such as blank, spike recoveries, surrogate recoveries, etc.), Bibliographic and site information, and Abstracts and extensive comments regarding treatment performance, successes and problems, design and operating information, and recommendations for additional research.
