Identifying these legal requirements for a particular hazardous waste site can be a complex and time consuming process. he EPA Risk Reduction Engineering Research Laboratory is developing a prototype knowledge-based system to aid in screening regulations that determine clean-up requirements based on unique site characteristics. he decision logic follows that presented in the EPA documents such as CERCLA Compliance with Other Laws Manuals (Part I and II). ence, it take into consideration the chemicals at the site, the particular location features of the site, and the proposed remediations methods.
