The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and

Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) authorizes the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) to identify severely contaminated hazardous waste sites and

place them on the National Priorities List for cleanup under the Superfund

program. The progress of cleanup work at National Priorities List sites has

been a focus of congressional and EPA attention over the history of the

program. National Priorities List sites generally follow a regular path

toward cleanup that includes a study of site conditions and an evaluation

of cleanup alternatives, the selection of one or more cleanup remedies

(that is, the cleanup standards and techniques to be used at site), and the

design and construction of the remedies.

Given the congressional interest in the status of sites on the National

Priorities List, you asked us to (1) determine the progress the Superfund

program has made in selecting remedies at both federal and nonfederal

sites; (2) verify the accuracy of the information in the Superfund database

on sites’ cleanup progress; and (3) determine the number of cleanup

projects that cannot be started in fiscal year 1998 because of a lack of

funding.

Results in Brief As of September 30, 1997, EPA had completed the selection of cleanup

remedies at about 70 percent of the 1,327 National Priorities List sites

listed as of that date that were expected to require a Superfund remedy.1

According to information provided by EPA, no Superfund remedies will be selected for 26 of the total

1,353 sites on the National Priorities List as of September 30, 1997, because these sites have been

transferred to another EPA program for cleanup or will not require a Superfund cleanup for some

other reason. The percentages of National Priorities List sites in various remedy selection categories

presented in this report are based on the 1,327 sites expected to require remedies in the Superfund

program.

had selected at least one remedy at an additional 17 percent of the sites.2

No remedies had been selected at 13 percent of the sites. In total, EPA had

selected 1,925 remedies at National Priorities List sites and planned to

select another 828 remedies. Remedy selection at federal sites has lagged

behind selection at nonfederal sites because, according to EPA officials,

many of the federal sites present more complex cleanup problems and

were added to the National Priorities List after nonfederal sites. At the end

of fiscal year 1997, EPA had completed remedy selection for about

76 percent of the nonfederal sites and for about 23 percent of the federal

sites. EPA plans to complete remedy selection at an additional 19 percent of

nonfederal sites and an additional 44 percent of federal sites by the end of

fiscal year 1999. If these plans are realized, EPA will have completed

remedy selection at about 95 percent of the nonfederal sites and about

67 percent of the federal sites that were listed as of September 30, 1997.

We tested the accuracy of the data in EPA’s Superfund database on the

progress of sites through the cleanup process for a statistically random

sample of 98 National Priorities List sites. On the basis of our sample

results, we estimate that the cleanup status of National Priorities List sites

reported by the Superfund database as of September 30, 1997, was

accurate for 95 percent (plus or minus 4.4 percent) of the sites. We found

that this database incorrectly recorded the status of cleanup work at five

sampled sites. Two of these sites had not progressed as far as the database

indicated, two other sites had progressed beyond the cleanup phase

indicated by the database, and at the fifth site, an action had been

classified incorrectly.

EPA identified 46 sites that could start cleanup actions requiring Superfund

financing in fiscal year 1998 at an estimated cost of about $263 million. EPA

officials expected to have about $100 million available for new actions, an

amount that they said could fund up to 20 sites. As a result of this

anticipated funding shortfall, at least 26 sites could be ready for cleanup

but have no work begun in fiscal year 1998. The amount of funds that

proves to be available for cleanup by the end of the fiscal year and the

number and the identity of sites ready for funding could vary from EPA’s

estimates, depending on the funding demands of competing Superfund

activities, the progress of sites toward completing cleanup design, and

other factors.

Frequently, more than one cleanup remedy is needed to clean up a National Priorities List site.

B-280503 

Background The National Priorities List (NPL) is EPA’s list of hazardous waste sites that

present the greatest long-term threats to human health and the

environment. After being placed on the NPL, a site generally proceeds

through the remedial program, which is responsible for conducting

long-term cleanups. A remedial cleanup starts with a remedial

investigation, which assesses in detail the contamination and related

environmental and health risks, and a feasibility study, which evaluates

alternative remedies for cleaning up a site. After one or more cleanup

remedies are selected, EPA or, under EPA’s oversight, the parties

responsible for contaminating the site design the technical drawings and

develop specifications for the remedial actions. The remedial actions are

then constructed or implemented. To organize cleanup activities, EPA may

divide a site into two or more “operable units” corresponding to different

physical areas at the site or different environmental media, such as soil or

groundwater.

Under CERCLA, EPA has the authority to compel parties responsible for the

contamination at a site to perform the cleanup. EPA may also pay for the

cleanup and attempt to recover the costs. Site cleanups conducted by EPA

are financed through a trust fund, commonly called the Superfund,

established under CERCLA. The state in which a site is located may also

carry out a CERCLA cleanup and related actions at the site under an

agreement with EPA.

In addition to using the Superfund to pay for remedial actions at NPL sites,

EPA can use the fund to pay for removal actions at NPL and other sites.

Removals are shorter-term actions that generally address immediate

threats from hazardous substances—such as removing leaking hazardous

waste containers. These actions may be performed instead of or in

addition to the remedial actions. Removal actions may use some of the

same cleanup methods as the remedial program but are typically faster

because they use a simpler site assessment and remedy selection process.

EPA uses a database called the Comprehensive Environmental Response

and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) to track activities at NPL and

other sites. CERCLIS also contains the dates by which EPA regions are

planning to select remedies at NPL sites. Data entries to CERCLIS must be

supported by specific documents required by the Superfund/Oil Program

Implementation Manual. For example, an entry showing the completion of

a remedy design by a responsible party must be supported by an

EPA-approved final design document.

Page 3 GAO/RCED-98-241 Status of Sites
B-280503 

EPA allocates the annual Superfund appropriation it receives from the

Congress for various program functions. For example, it estimates the

funds that will be needed to continue work at ongoing remediation

projects and to conduct emergency removal actions. After these and other

needs are provided for, it assigns the remaining funds to new cleanup

actions. It uses a National Prioritization Panel to allocate these remaining

funds to sites ready to start new remedial actions and to unusually large

removal actions beyond what can be funded through the regular removal

allocation. The Prioritization Panel, which consists of regional and

headquarters officials, ranks new remedial and removal actions proposed

by the regions in order of priority based on the risks the sites pose and

other factors. EPA approves funding for projects based on these priority

rankings.

Remedies Have Been

Selected at Most NPL

Sites

As of September 30, 1997, EPA had selected all remedies at about

70 percent of the NPL sites listed as of that date. It plans to complete the

selection of remedies for an additional 22 percent of these sites by the end

of fiscal year 1999.

Status of Remedy Selection As of September 30, 1997, EPA had completed the selection of remedies at

926 (about 70 percent) of the 1,327 NPL sites listed as of that date that the

Superfund program is expected to clean up. In addition, EPA had selected

at least one remedy at another 222 sites. Almost 60 percent (133) of the

sites with at least one remedy selected had only one more remedy to be

selected. In total, 1,925 (almost 70 percent) of the 2,753 remedies expected

to be selected for the sites listed by September 30, 1997, had been chosen.

No remedies had been selected for 179 of the NPL sites. (App. I contains

summary data on the status of remedy selection as of September 30, 1997,

for nonfederal and federal sites; app. II summarizes remedy selection

activity by state; app. III shows the remedy selection status of each NPL

site; and app. IV list sites with at least one remedy selected and only one

more to be selected.)

Remedy selection was not as far along at federal sites as at nonfederal

ones. All remedies had been selected for about 76 percent of the

nonfederal sites (890 of 1,169 sites) compared with about 23 percent of the

federal sites (36 of 158 sites). EPA had selected about 81 percent of the

cleanup remedies planned for nonfederal sites (1,444 of 1,792 remedies)

and about 50 percent of the cleanup remedies planned for federal sites

(481 of 961 remedies). EPA officials said that the slower pace of remedy

selection at federal sites occurred because many were listed on the NPL

Page 4 GAO/RCED-98-241 Status of Sites
B-280503 

after nonfederal sites and were larger and more complex. They said that

their latest data showed that federal sites had an average of 8 operable

units, while nonfederal sites contained 1.8 operable units on average. (See

fig. 1 for the relative status of remedy selection at nonfederal and federal

sites, as of September 30, 1997.)

Planned Remedy Selection We developed information from the CERCLIS database and a survey of EPA

regions to show the number of sites that are expected to complete remedy

selection in future years and the number of remedies planned to be

Page 5 GAO/RCED-98-241 Status of Sites
B-280503 

selected at all sites in those years. (Appendix V shows the steps we took to

confirm the planned remedy selection dates recorded in CERCLIS.) Our

analysis indicates that in fiscal year 1998, EPA expects to complete remedy

selection for 138 of the NPL sites that were listed as of September 30, 1997,

and in fiscal year 1999, it expects to complete remedy selection for

another 151 sites. If these plans are realized, by September 30, 1999, EPA

will have selected all remedies for 1,215 sites, or 92 percent, of the 1,327

NPL sites listed as of September 30, 1997, that are expected to require

remedies. Remedies will have been selected for about 95 percent of

nonfederal sites (1,109 of 1,169 sites) and for about 67 percent of federal

sites (106 of 158 sites). See fig. 2 for the number and percentage of

nonfederal and federal sites that had all remedies selected by the end of

fiscal year 1997 or that are expected to have all remedies selected by the

end of fiscal years 1998 or 1999, or later.

listed on the NPL is shown in app. VI.

Data on the Progress

of Cleanup Were

Accurate for 95

Percent of Sites

CERCLIS contains information on the phase of cleanup reached by each

operable unit at each NPL site. These cleanup phases include, in

chronological order, the start and completion of a site study, the selection

of a remedy, the start and completion of a remedial design, and the start

and completion of a remedial action. CERCLIS also indicates whether all

remedies have been constructed at sites.3

 To test the reliability of CERCLIS

data regarding the cleanup phase reached at NPL sites, we selected a

random sample of 98 NPL sites that had not reached the “construction

complete” stage as of September 30, 1997, and sought confirmation from

EPA’s regional offices of the most recent remedial activity reported by

CERCLIS for each operable unit at the sites.4 We excluded sites at which

construction was complete at all operable units because EPA’s Inspector

General had recently confirmed that the status of these sites has been

accurately reported by EPA.

5

We selected from CERCLIS the most recent remedial action for 270 operable

units at the 98 sampled sites. We requested that the regions provide us

with documentation to support these actions. We considered the

documentation provided to be adequate to confirm actions at 95 percent

(93) of the sites. Regions reported that at five sites CERCLIS incorrectly

recorded the status of cleanup work. At two of these sites, one or more

operable units had not reached the cleanup stage recorded in CERCLIS; at

two other sites, an operable unit had progressed beyond the stage

indicated by CERCLIS; and at the fifth site, an action that was recorded as a

remedial action in CERCLIS was actually a removal action. Regional

information management personnel attributed these errors to data entry

problems and agreed to correct the database. On the basis of our sample

results, we estimate that the cleanup status of NPL sites reported by

CERCLIS, as of September 30, 1997, was accurate for 95 percent (plus or

A site is considered to have reached the “construction complete” stage when the remedies for all of its

operable units are functioning.

made after the close of fiscal year 1997.

minus 4.4 percent) of these sites.6 Our estimate of accuracy is limited to

the CERCLIS data showing the status of cleanup work.

Not Enough Funds

Are Available to Start

Remedial Actions at

All Sites

More sites are expected to be ready to begin cleanup actions7 requiring

expenditures from the Superfund in fiscal year 1998 than can be started

with the funds allocated for new actions. As of June 5, 1998, EPA had

approved about $33 million in funding for new cleanup actions at 8 sites

and had identified 38 other sites that could begin cleanup actions in fiscal

year 1998 at an estimated cost of $230 million. EPA officials expect that

about $100 million will be available to fund new cleanup actions by the

end of the fiscal year, leaving a shortfall of about $163 million. EPA officials

believe that $100 million will fund cleanup actions at up to 20 sites; the

exact number will be determined by the cost of the individual projects

selected. According to our analysis of EPA’s data, there could be at least 26

sites where new cleanup actions cannot be started in fiscal year 1998

because funds will not be available. Estimates of the funds available for

cleanup and the identity and number of the sites ready for cleanup action

are subject to revision as the year progresses.

Sites Ready for Remedial

Action

According to the Senior Process Manager in EPA’s Office of Solid Waste

and Emergency Response, who chairs the National Prioritization Panel, a

site is considered ready for a remedial action requiring Superfund

financing in fiscal year 1998 if four conditions are expected to be met by

the end of the fiscal year: (1) The remedial design is complete, (2) the

contracting capacity exists to begin work, (3) the state in which the site is

located has agreed to pay its share of the project’s costs, and

(4) settlement with the responsible parties is not likely. EPA’s regional

officials have identified 38 sites that are expected to be ready for cleanup

actions in fiscal year 1998 but that had not been approved for funding as of

June 5, 1998. (See app. VII for a list of these sites.) Removal actions are

6

Because we used a sample (called a probability sample) to develop our estimate, the estimate has a

measurable precision, or sampling error, that is expressed as a plus/minus figure. A sampling error

indicates how closely we can reproduce from a sample the results that we would obtain if were to take

a complete count of the universe using the same measurement methods. By adding the sampling error

to and subtracting it from the estimate, upper and lower bounds for the estimate were developed. This

range is called a confidence interval. Sampling errors and confidence intervals are stated at a certain

confidence level—in this case 95 percent. For example, an interval at the 95-percent confidence level

means that in 95 out of 100 instances the sampling procedure we used would produce a confidence

interval containing the universe value we are estimating.

7

The term “cleanup actions” as used here includes remedial actions and unusually expensive removal

actions that EPA’s regions cannot fund from their regular removal budgets.

Page 9 GAO/RCED-98-241 Status of Sites
B-280503 

scheduled for 10 of the 38 sites,8 and remedial actions are scheduled at the

other 28 sites.

The ten removal actions are expected to cost $56.5 million. According to

the Chair of the National Prioritization Panel, top Superfund management

will make a decision before the end of the fiscal year about how much of

the $100 million available for new cleanup actions can be spent on these

removals. He estimated that about $10 million will be allocated for

removal actions.

Factors Affecting Funding

Availability and Needs

According to EPA officials, the number and identity of the sites that will

ultimately receive funding in fiscal year 1998 for new cleanup actions

depend on events that may unfold during the year. These events could

affect both the supply of funds and the readiness of sites for cleanup

action.

The Chair of the National Prioritization Panel said that $100 million is his

best estimate of the funds that will be available for new cleanup actions

for fiscal year 1998. However, he said that the actual amount could vary

from the estimate because of changes in expected expenditures for

competing Superfund activities, such as ongoing remedial action projects,

and the results of negotiations with responsible parties over EPA’s

contribution to certain new cleanup projects. The amount available for

new remedial actions could also be affected by the amount of unspent

funds that is recovered from Superfund contracts.9

The number and identity of sites ready for remedial actions in fiscal year

1998 could also change. For example, the scheduled completion of

remedial designs could slip, thereby postponing the start of remedial

actions, or settlements with responsible parties not now anticipated might

be achieved, thereby negating the need for Superfund financing. Panel

members in the EPA regions we interviewed thought there was a possibility

of such settlements for 2 of the 38 sites not funded as of June 5, 1998.

The estimates of cleanup costs for individual sites are also subject to some

revision. The estimates for some sites are based on preliminary design

8

According to an EPA official, two of the scheduled removals may be reclassified as remedial actions

later in the fiscal year.

9

In many instances, the amount of funds obligated for Superfund contracts exceeds the amount

eventually needed to pay the contractors. These funds may be deobligated and used for other

Superfund activities. See Environmental Protection: Opportunities to Recover Funds Obligated for

Completed Superfund Projects (GAO/T-RCED-97-134, Apr. 15, 1997).

Page 10 GAO/RCED-98-241 Status of Sites
B-280503 

estimates. In addition, at sites where remedial action costs are estimated

at over $5 million, cleanup may be financed over more than one fiscal year

when possible. Fifteen of the 38 unfunded sites have estimated remedial

action costs exceeding $5 million.

Agency Comments We provided copies of a draft of this report to EPA for review and

comment. EPA responded that the report and the data reported in it were

accurate and that the agency had no further comments.

Scope and

Methodology

To determine the progress the Superfund program has made in selecting

remedies, we obtained a copy of the CERCLIS database dated December 15,

1997. We analyzed this database to calculate the number of sites with all

remedies selected by September 30, 1997, and the number of remedies

planned for both nonfederal and federal sites. We adjusted the CERCLIS

remedy selection data in accordance with information provided by EPA’s

regions as described in app. V.

To verify the accuracy of the information in CERCLIS on sites’ cleanup

progress, we selected a statistically random sample of 98 sites. For each

operable unit at each site, we obtained CERCLIS data showing the latest

remedial action as of September 30, 1997, such as the start of a site study

or the completion of a remedial design. We asked each EPA region to

provide us with documents to demonstrate that the action indicated by

CERCLIS had taken place. If documentation was unavailable, we talked to

information management coordinators and site managers to obtain

testimonial evidence that the information recorded in CERCLIS was accurate

and reviewed published reports of work completed at the sites. On the

basis of this survey, we estimated the accuracy of the CERCLIS data on site

status.

We also checked with the responsible EPA regional offices on the accuracy

of the information in CERCLIS about sites at which remedy selection was

planned to be completed in fiscal years 1998 and 1999. Using the CERCLIS

database, we developed lists of 586 sites with remedies planned for

completion by September 30, 1999. From these lists, we determined that

166 sites fit into one of three categories: (1) The study phase that precedes

remedy selection had not started, (2) the study phase was started during

calendar year 1997, or (3) the study phase was started before calendar

year 1990. The first two categories presented questions as to the

completion of the remedies in the time forecast by CERCLIS, since studies

Page 11 GAO/RCED-98-241 Status of Sites
B-280503 

take an average of over 4 years to complete, and the third category raised

questions because of the long apparent delays in completing the studies.

We provided the lists to EPA’s regions and asked them to confirm the study

and remedy dates or to revise the dates. We also asked regional officials to

explain why they thought that the remedy selection dates could be met

and to state how confident they were that the dates could be met. The

regions were asked to add to the lists any sites that would have remedies

completed by September 30, 1999, if those sites were not shown on the

lists. We followed up by telephone to clarify the regions’ responses and to

obtain missing or incomplete information. (The results of this work are

provided in app. V.)

To determine the number of cleanup projects that cannot be started in

fiscal year 1998 because of a lack of funding, we interviewed the chair of

the National Prioritization Panel and other EPA officials, obtained lists of

sites considered by the Panel for funding, and confirmed with regional

officials that the listed sites were expected to be ready for new cleanup

actions in fiscal year 1998.

We conducted our review in accordance with generally accepted

government auditing standards from October 1997 through August 1998.

As arranged with your offices, unless you publicly announce its contents

earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until 30 days after the

date of this letter. At that time, we will send copies of the report to other

congressional committees; the Administrator, EPA; the Director, Office of

Management and Budget; and other interested parties. We will also make

copies available to others on request.

Steps We Took to Confirm the Planned

Remedy Selection Dates Recorded in the

CERCLIS Database

The Comprehensive Environmental Response and Liability Information

System (CERCLIS), a database of information on National Priorities List

(NPL) and other sites, contains the dates by which EPA regions are planning

to select remedies at NPL sites. To get the most accurate estimates of the

expected progress on remedy selection through fiscal year 1999, we

checked many of the planned dates recorded in CERCLIS with officials in the

regional offices that are responsible for choosing the remedies. We asked

regional officials to confirm or revise the planning dates recorded in

CERCLIS to reflect their latest estimates of when remedy selection would be

completed.

CERCLIS indicated that remedy selection is expected to be completed at 586

sites in fiscal years 1998 and 1999. We asked EPA’s regional officials

whether they believed they could meet the planned dates for about 166

planned remedies at 135 of these sites. We selected these sites because

although their planning dates were for the near future, fiscal years 1998

and 1999, the sites’ remedy selection studies (which must be completed

before remedies are chosen and which take an average of about 4 years to

complete) (1) had not begun, (2) were started in fiscal year 1997, or

(3) had been going on for much longer than 4 years without a decision

having been made on remedies.

Officials in EPA’s regional offices confirmed or revised 159 of the 166

remedy planning dates in CERCLIS. They said that the remaining seven

remedies were combined with other remedies or were for sites that had

been transferred to other authorities for cleanup. The officials confirmed

that the expected remedy selection date recorded in CERCLIS was accurate

for 64 of the 159 planned remedies (40 percent). These officials revised the

expected completion date for 95 remedies (60 percent). Most of the

revisions moved the remedy completion date less than 1 year beyond the

date shown in CERCLIS.

Regional officials were generally confident that they could select remedies

at the sites we surveyed by the dates given in CERCLIS or the revised dates.

Of the 159 planned completion dates, regions reported that 11 had already

been reached and another 128 would probably or definitely be met. They

were uncertain or doubtful about the remaining 20 dates. The most

common reasons given by regional officials for their confidence were that

the site study was almost completed, the potentially responsible party was

cooperating on the study, prior site action reduced the study’s scope, or

remedy selection was routine.

Sites Expected to Be Ready for Cleanup

Action in Fiscal Year 1998 but Not Approved

for Funding as of June 5, 1998

Table VII.1 shows sites that are expected to be ready for new cleanup

actions requiring Superfund outlays in fiscal year 1998 and that had not

been approved for funding as of June 5, 1998. The table is based on a list

prepared by EPA headquarters and on discussions we had with

representatives from the National Prioritization Panel from six EPA regions

representing almost 90 percent of the sites on the headquarters’ list.10

10On the basis of these discussions, we adjusted the headquarters’ list. For example, we deleted sites

from the list whose cleanups regional office panel members believed were likely to be funded by

responsible parties or whose cleanup schedule had slipped to fiscal year 1999 or later.
