The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 has developed a corrective action strategy (CAS) to accelerate corrective action at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facilities. This document was developed as guidance to help regulators and facilities make meaningful progress with corrective action at RCRA sites. The two primary objectives of this guide are to prioritize corrective action at facilities, and streamline corrective action administrative procedures, resulting in the protection of human health and the environment. Although the CAS was developed for the RCRA program, its purpose is consistent with the cleanup principals and goals of other waste cleanup programs. Therefore, this guide may be useful to other persons engaged in cleaning up storage tanks, voluntary cleanup programs and Brownfields programs. This guide describes a risk management strategy that, can be implemented during any phase of corrective action, introduces the use of a risk-based screen that prioritizes releases at a facility to better focus time and money on releases that pose a significant and unacceptable risk, and provides guidance for its implementation. EPA contemplates that the value of this guide will be demonstrated through EPA and/or state pilot projects.
