Abstract
The Committee was requested by the Office of Waste Programs Enforcement (OWPE) to review its draft document entitled 'RCRA Ground Water Monitoring Technical Enforcement Guidance Document' (TGED). The document concerns the technical aspects of ground water monitoring at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facilities. The Committee concluded that TEGD document that is reviewed was badly needed and represented a good start for setting consistent standards for establishing and evaluating ground water monitoring efforts. The Committee concluded that the majority of the TEGD is technically sound, and it made a number of recommendations for improvement that are included in the report. The Committee also suggested that the Agency should emphasize that the TEGD is neither a regulation nor an 'engineering handbook', and that flexibility, highly trained and experienced personnel, and professional judgement should be used by both EPA and those implementing ground water monitoring systems.
