Coordinated cleanup efforts between Federal & State agencies address numerous sites targeted by the Environmental Protection Agency¿s (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL), the list of sites with uncontrolled releases of hazardous substances that are the highest priorities for long-term remediation. A key step in enhancing the Federal-State partnership is to understand the States¿ cleanup programs aimed at non-NPL sites. This is the objective of this report, which updates the results of a study initially conducted in 1989 (& updated in 1990, 1991, 1993, & 1995) in cooperation with EPA¿s Office of Emergency & Remedial Response.

The United States may not be able to make all hazardous-waste sites as clean as possible. Therefore, priorities must be set for the timing of waste site remediations. This book assesses several of the government's methods of ranking sites for remediation and compares the performance of three such models using input data developed from the same set of waste sites. Because inconsistent methods may be neither effective nor prudent, the book recommends that the government consider developing a unified national approach to setting priorities to replace the current multiple approaches.
