Contents Notes
This report represents a review of the status of hazardous waste sites with unknown waste quantity under the EPA Hazard Ranking System (HRS). Data are presented on the number of sites with unknown waste quantity, the distribution of their HRS scores as compared to the distribution of HRS scores for sites at which the waste quantity is known, and the most frequently designated site activities for unknown waste quantity sites. The significance of the waste quantity factor score in the HRS is discussed and the consequences of the current policy of assigning a waste quantity default value of 1 are examined. Several possible alternatives to that policy are identified, examined and commented on.
