Title: COORDINATION BETWEEN RCRA CORRECTIVE ACTION AND CLOSURE AND CERCLA SITE ACTIVITIES
Document Date: 1996-09-24
To: Regions
From: Herman and Laws
Organization of Recipient: EPA
Description: Addresses coordination among RCRA corrective action, closure, and CERCLA cleanups, including deferral between the programs and state/tribal CERCLA-like activities with RCRA. Coordination is required when full deferral is not possible. Cleanups under RCRA or CERCLA will generally satisfy both programs. To avoid inconsistency between cleanup levels and clean closure levels, EPA encourages the use of risk-based levels for clean closure. It is possible that a unit cleaned up under CERCLA could meet the RCRA clean closure standard (RCRA/CERCLA Parity Policy) (SEE ALSO: 61 FR 18779; 4/29/96).
