The Honorable John D. Dingell

Ranking Minority Member

Committee on Commerce

House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Dingell:

The Superfund program is the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)

effort to clean up hazardous waste sites that threaten human health and

the environment. EPA places sites needing long-term cleanups under the

program on the National Priorities List, a list of the nation’s most seriously

contaminated sites. As of August 1998, there were about 1,200 hazardous

waste sites on the list. State governors, whose approval EPA seeks for

listing, have not concurred with the listing of certain other sites.

Furthermore, as of October 8, 1997, EPA’s Superfund database listed 3,036

additional sites—including some sites owned by federal agencies—whose

risks according to EPA’s evaluations are serious enough to make them

potentially eligible for the National Priorities List. These sites are

classified by EPA as “awaiting a National Priorities List decision.” (App. I

provides background information on the Superfund program and the

National Priorities List.)

You requested that we survey EPA regions, other federal agencies, and the

states to determine which of the 3,036 sites are still potentially eligible for

the National Priorities List and to obtain, for these sites, information about

the nature and extent of the threat they pose to human health and the

environment, any cleanup actions that EPA and states may have taken at

the sites, and any cleanup plans EPA and states have for them, including

possible placement on the National Priorities List. You requested similar

information for sites whose placement on the National Priorities List has

been blocked by state governors. You also asked that we identify sites

classified as awaiting a National Priorities List decision as of October 1997

that are unlikely to become eligible for the list and explain why they are

unlikely to become eligible.

This report provides the requested information from our surveys of EPA

regions, federal agencies, and states for each of the 3,036 sites awaiting a

National Priorities List decision, as well as for sites whose placement on

the list has been opposed by state governors. A companion report that we

are releasing today, Hazardous Waste: Unaddressed Risks at Many

Page 1 GAO/RCED-99-22 Hazardous Waste
B-281230 

Potential Superfund Sites (GAO/RCED-99-8, Nov. 30, 1998), provides aggregate

information for the potentially eligible sites and our analysis. The

companion report is based on the same survey results as this report.

In summary, our surveys of EPA’s regions, other federal agencies, and

states1

 found the following:

• Of the 3,036 sites that EPA’s Superfund database classified as “awaiting a

National Priorities List decision” as of October 8, 1997, 1,789 are still

potentially eligible for placement on the list. Officials of EPA, other federal

agencies, or states reported that about 17 percent of the 1,789 potentially

eligible sites currently pose high risks to human health and the

environment and that another 10 percent of the sites could pose high risks

in the future. These officials were unsure about the severity of the risks for

almost 600 of the potentially eligible sites. According to officials,

73 percent of the 1,789 sites have caused contamination in groundwater,

and 32 percent have caused drinking water sources to become

contaminated. Ninety-six percent of the 1,789 sites are located within a

half mile of residences or places of regular employment. Some cleanup

actions were reported to have occurred at about 38 percent of the 1,789

sites. However, these cleanup actions have generally been limited in

scope, primarily involving removing waste or other steps to mitigate the

effects of the contamination but not a full cleanup of the sites.2 EPA and

state officials were unable to predict whether EPA, under the Superfund

program, or the states, under their own cleanup programs, will arrange for

cleanup of over half the sites. Appendix II presents for each of the

potentially eligible sites, by state, information from our survey on, among

other factors, site characteristics, contaminants, and any cleanup activities

that have occurred or may occur in the future.

• Collectively, respondents believed that 2323 of the 1,789 sites could be

placed on the National Priorities List in the future, although they agreed on

the possible listing of only a few sites. EPA officials identified 106 sites that

they believed might be placed on the list, state officials identified another

1

In this report, unless otherwise noted, “states” includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam,

Midway Island, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Navajo Nation.

2

Of the 1,103 sites for which no cleanup actions were reported, both EPA and the states said that they

had taken no cleanup actions beyond initial site assessments at 719. For 336 sites, EPA officials alone

said that their agency had taken no cleanup actions, but the states provided no information. California,

Massachusetts, and New Jersey account for about 85 percent of these sites. Similarly, for six sites, the

states said that they had taken no cleanup actions, but EPA provided no information. Neither EPA nor

the states provided information on any cleanup actions that may have occurred at the remaining 42 of

the 1,103 sites.

Eight of the 232 sites are federally owned or operated facilities.

Page 2 GAO/RCED-99-22 Hazardous Waste
B-281230 

100 sites, and both EPA and state officials agreed that 26 sites might be

potential National Priorities List candidates. Appendix III presents for

each of the 232 sites information from our surveys on, among other

factors, site characteristics, contaminants, and any cleanup activities that

have occurred or may occur in the future.

• As of October 15, 1997, state governors had not concurred in the

placement of 33 sites in 19 states on the National Priorities List. Many of

these sites exhibit the same characteristics as the sites that are awaiting a

National Priorities List decision and are still potentially eligible for the list.

Many of these sites present significant risks to human health and the

environment. For example, according to EPA or state officials, about

79 percent of these sites have caused contamination in groundwater, and

about 18 percent of the sites have caused drinking water sources to be

contaminated. Ninety-four percent of these sites are located within a half

mile of residences or places of regular employment. Some limited cleanup

progress has reportedly occurred at about 79 percent of the sites. State

officials reported that cleanup has been completed at about 6 percent of

these sites, final cleanup activities were under way at about 24 percent,

some cleanup actions that may or may not be final were being conducted

at about 21 percent, and no cleanup activities had yet been conducted at

45 percent of the sites.4

 Appendix IV presents information from our

surveys on, among other factors, the characteristics, contaminants, and

any cleanup activities that have occurred at these sites.

• One thousand two hundred and thirty-four other sites classified by EPA’s

Superfund database as awaiting a National Priorities List decision are not

likely to become eligible for the list because they were misclassified by the

database or, according to EPA or state officials, they (1) have been cleaned

up, (2) do not require cleanup, or (3) are currently undergoing a final

cleanup. Appendix V lists, by state, the names and locations of these sites

and indicates why they are not likely to become eligible for the National

Priorities List.

Appendix VI lists the names and locations of the sites for which neither

EPA nor states returned completed surveys. Appendix VII presents copies

of our surveys of potentially eligible sites. Appendix VIII describes in

detail our objectives, scope, and methodology. Appendix IX includes a list

of EPA regional office and state agency officials we contacted for our

review.

We did not receive survey responses from either EPA or the state on 1 of the 33 sites.

Agency Comments We provided copies of a draft of this report and the companion report,

Hazardous Waste: Unaddressed Risks at Many Potential Superfund Sites

(GAO/RCED-99-8, Nov. 30, 1998), to EPA for its review and comment. EPA

provided written comments on the companion report and said that these

comments also applied to the present report. EPA’s letter is reproduced in

appendix X. EPA said that it agreed with our basic findings and

recommendations and believes that the reports will be useful to the

Congress, the agency, states, and others interested in the future of the

Superfund program. EPA also said that it has made National Priorities List

placement decisions on many of the sites in its hazardous waste site

inventory and made significant progress toward cleaning up listed sites.

We have added this information to the report. EPA also provided technical

and clarifying comments that we have incorporated in the report as

appropriate.

To obtain information on the 3,036 sites that EPA identified as awaiting a

National Priorities List decision and the 33 sites whose placement on the

list has been opposed by governors, we developed and mailed two surveys

for each nonfederal site and three surveys for each federal facility. We sent

site surveys to site assessment officials in EPA’s 10 regional offices. Since

state officials may have more knowledge of some of the sites, we also sent

surveys to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Midway Island,

the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Navajo Nation

(collectively referred to as states in this report). In addition, if a federal

agency is responsible for cleaning up a site, we also sent that agency a

site-specific survey. In all, we surveyed 162 sites that are the responsibility

of 14 federal agencies. We sent a follow-up survey to state officials on each

potentially eligible site for which we did not receive a state response to

our original mailing. We received one or more survey responses for 3,023

(99.6 percent) of the 3,036 sites identified by EPA as awaiting a National

Priorities List decision and at least one survey for 32 of the 33 sites whose

listing is opposed by governors. As mentioned, we discuss our

methodology in greater detail in appendix VIII. We conducted our review

between May 1997 and November 1998 in accordance with generally

accepted government auditing standards.

As arranged with your office, unless you 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 this report to the

appropriate congressional committees; the Administrator, EPA; and the

Page 4 GAO/RCED-99-22 Hazardous Waste
B-281230 

Director, Office of Management and Budget. We will also make copies

available to others upon request.

Please contact me at (202) 512-6111 if you or your staff have any questions.

Appendix I 

Background

In 1980, the Congress passed the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), which established the

Superfund program to clean up highly contaminated hazardous waste

sites. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the

program, oversees cleanups performed by the parties responsible for

contaminating the sites, and performs cleanups itself. State governments

also have a role in the Superfund process. States may enter into contracts

or cooperative agreements with EPA to carry out certain Superfund actions,

including evaluating sites, cleaning them up, and overseeing the cleanups.

In addition, most states have established their own hazardous waste

programs that can clean up sites independently of the federal Superfund

program.

CERCLA requires EPA to develop and maintain a list of hazardous sites,

known as the National Priorities List (NPL), that the agency considers to

present the most serious threats to human health and the environment.

These sites represent EPA’s highest priorities for cleanup nationwide.

Although EPA may take emergency or partial cleanup actions at

contaminated sites not on the NPL, EPA’s regulations stipulate that only

sites placed on the list are eligible for long-term “remedial actions”

(cleanups) financed by EPA under the trust fund established by CERCLA.

EPA’s regulations outline a formal process for assessing hazardous waste

sites and placing them on the NPL. The agency may eliminate a site from

further consideration for a number of reasons, including a finding that it

does not pose a large enough threat to warrant listing or a state’s

preference to deal with the site under its own cleanup program. The

process begins when EPA receives a report of a possible hazardous waste

site from a state government, a private citizen, or a responsible federal

agency. EPA enters reported sites into the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS), a

database of site information. EPA or the state in which the site is located

then conducts a preliminary assessment to decide whether the site poses a

potential threat to human health and the environment. According to EPA

officials, approximately half of the assessments are conducted by states

through funding from EPA. If the preliminary assessment shows that

contamination exists, EPA may conduct a site inspection and in some cases

a follow-on examination called an expanded site inspection—a more

detailed examination of possible contamination.

Using information from the preliminary assessment and site inspections,

EPA applies its Hazard Ranking System to evaluate the site’s threat to

Page 16 GAO/RCED-99-22 Hazardous Waste
Appendix I 

Background

human health and the environment. The system assigns each site a score

ranging from 0 to 100 for use as a screening tool to determine whether the

site should be considered for further action under Superfund. A site with a

score of 28.5 or higher is considered for placement on the NPL. Once EPA

determines that an eligible site warrants listing, the agency first proposes

that the site be placed on the NPL and then, after receiving public

comments, either lists it on the NPL or removes it from further

consideration.

Under EPA’s policy for coordinating with states in proposing sites for the

NPL, an EPA region sends a written request to the governor of a state, with a

copy to the commissioner of the state environmental agency, asking for

the state’s position on the listing of a site that the region is considering for

the NPL. If the state does not agree that EPA should place the site on the NPL,

but the region believes that it has sufficient reasons for listing the site, the

region is to work closely with the state to try to resolve the issues. If the

region cannot resolve these issues, EPA’s Assistant Administrator for Solid

Waste and Emergency Response will then decide whether to pursue NPL

listing for the site. As of October 1997, EPA had received letters or verbal

statements from state officials opposing the listing of 33 eligible sites (in

19 states) that EPA was considering proposing for the NPL.

According to EPA, as of November 1998, the Superfund program has

investigated over 40,000 potential hazardous waste sites and made final

decisions for almost 35,000 sites about whether or not to place them on

the NPL. EPA also reported that it has removed waste or taken other interim

cleanup actions at over 5,500 sites—most of which are not on the NPL—to

address the most urgent risks and stabilize conditions to prevent further

releases of contamination. EPA has completed cleanup construction at 585

of the more than 1,400 sites it has placed on the NPL.

5

 States have reported

cleaning up thousands of sites under their own programs and authorities.

5

Almost 200 of these 1,400 sites have been deleted from the NPL.

Appendix II 

Information on 1,789 Sites That Are

Potentially Eligible for the National

Priorities List

The following tables present data on the conditions reported by EPA,

states, and—for federally owned sites—responsible federal agency

officials, at the 1,789 sites that are potentially eligible for the NPL and the

opinions of these officials on the sites’ risks; the need for more cleanup;

and the likely outcome, or disposition, for the sites. The potentially eligible

sites are presented in a separate table for each state. The information in

these tables includes

• the site name and city location in each state, generally as included in EPA’s

CERCLIS database but edited as necessary to correct spelling errors or for

clarity;6

• the “discovery date”—the year in which the site was entered into EPA’s

inventory;

• the principal contaminants present at each site, including

(1) metals—primarily heavy metals such as lead, mercury, or

cadmium—which can cause brain and kidney damage and birth defects;

(2) volatile organic compounds (VOC)—carbon-based compounds, such as

benzene, that easily become vapors or gases and can cause cancer, as well

as damage to the blood, immune, and reproductive systems;

(3) semivolatile organic compounds (SVOC)—which are similar to VOCs and

can result in human respiratory illnesses; (4) pesticides—the most toxic of

which can cause acute nervous system effects and skin irritations and may

cause reproductive system effects and cancer; (5) polychlorinated

biphenyls (PCB)—which can cause skin irritations and other related

conditions and may contribute to causing cancer, liver damage, and

reproductive and developmental effects; (6) dioxins—which are also

suspected human carcinogens; and (7) other unspecified contaminants.

• EPA, state, and responsible federal agency officials’ assessments of

whether (1) groundwater and drinking water are currently contaminated

(actual) or are likely to become contaminated in the future (potential)

because of the site’s contamination, (2) residents or workers are present

within a half mile of the site, (3) plants or animals at or near the site are

sick or dying, and (4) EPA or the state has taken some interim cleanup

actions, that is, actions which were not expected to fully clean up the site;

• EPA, state, and responsible federal agency officials’ opinions on whether

the site (1) currently poses a high, average, low, or unknown level of risk

to human health or the environment (“current risk”) and (2) is likely to

pose a high, average, low, or unknown level of risk in the future (“potential

risk”);

6

We did not attempt to verify the accuracy of each site’s name or location as presented in EPA’s

CERCLIS database.

Appendix II 

Information on 1,789 Sites That Are

Potentially Eligible for the National

Priorities List

• EPA, state, and responsible federal agency officials’ opinions on whether

the site requires additional cleanup; and

• EPA, state, and responsible federal agency officials’ opinions on whether

the final cleanup of the site is likely to be performed (1) by EPA under the

Superfund program (“NPL cleanup”), (2) by the state under its cleanup

programs (“state cleanup”), (3) by EPA under programs other than

Superfund (“EPA cleanup”), or (4) under both EPA’s and the state’s

programs (“EPA/state”). A response of “not needed” indicates that a

respondent believed that the contamination at the site does not pose risks

that are significant enough to require further cleanup actions. A response

of “No cleanup” indicates that a respondent believed that the site requires

further cleanup actions, but they will not be conducted because of limited

resources, other priorities, or other unspecified factors. The following

acronyms are used in the table to identify responding federal agencies: BLM

(Bureau of Land Management), DOD (Department of Defense), DOE

(Department of Energy), DOI (Department of the Interior), DOT

(Department of Transportation), GSA (General Services Administration),

USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), USAF (U.S. Air Force), USAR (U.S.

Army), and USNV (U.S. Navy).

Throughout the tables, the term “unknown” indicates that (1) officials

responded that it was too early to make a determination, (2) insufficient

information was available for officials to answer the question, or (3) no

answer was provided for a particular question. “No response” indicates

that we did not receive a survey on the site from the identified respondent.

As reflected in the following tables, respondents did not always provide

consistent information about sites. For example, EPA and state

respondents disagreed about the need for future cleanup actions at some

sites or about which government organization would take future actions at

the sites. Also, answers from a single respondent sometimes seemed

inconsistent, as when a respondent said that he did not know whether a

site needed more cleanup but forecast future cleanup action by his agency.

In the companion report to this report, Hazardous Waste: Unaddressed

Risks at Many Potential Superfund Sites (GAO/RCED-98-8, Nov. 30, 1998), we

recommended that EPA, in consultation with the applicable state,

characterize and rank the risks associated with the potentially eligible

sites and determine whether EPA or the state will be responsible for

cleaning up individual sites. Inconsistencies in states’ and EPA’s views

about the sites could be resolved in this process.

Information on 232 Potentially Eligible Sites

That Respondents Believed Might Be Placed

on the National Priorities List

The following table presents data on the conditions reported by EPA,

states, and—for federally owned sites7

—responsible federal agency

officials, at the 232 potentially eligible sites (included in app. I) that at

least one respondent believed might be placed on the NPL in the future. Of

the 232 sites, EPA officials identified 106 that they believed might be placed

on the list, state officials identified another 100 sites, and both EPA and

state officials agreed that another 26 sites might be potential NPL

candidates. The table also includes the opinions of officials on the sites’

risks; the need for more cleanup; and the likely outcome, or disposition,

for the sites. These sites are presented in alphabetical order by state. The

terms used in this table are the same as those used in tables II.1 through

II.53 and are defined in appendix II.

7

Eight of the 232 sites were federally owned or operated facilities.

Information on Sites Whose Placement on

the National Priorities List Was Not

Approved by State Governors

The following table presents data on the conditions reported by EPA,

states, and—for federally owned sites—responsible federal agency

officials, at 32 of the 33 sites whose placement on the NPL was opposed by

state governors, as of October 15, 1997.8

 The table also includes the

opinions of these officials on the sites’ risks and their cleanup status. The

potentially eligible sites are presented in alphabetical order by state. Most

of the terms used in this table are defined in appendix II. In addition, in the

following table, entries under the heading “state response on cleanup

status of site” indicate four possible assessments by the state: (1) the site

has been cleaned up (“cleanup completed”), (2) actions expected to

completely clean up the site are under way (“final cleanup under way”),

(3) some cleanup activities have been conducted or are under way but

respondents were not certain whether the activities will fully clean up the

site (“some cleanup activities”), or (4) no cleanup actions were reported at

the site (“no cleanup activities”).

8

We did not receive survey responses on one site in Utah from either EPA or state officials.

Appendix V 

Names and Locations of 1,234 Sites That Are

Unlikely to Become Eligible for the National

Priorities List

The responses to our surveys from EPA, other federal agency, and state

officials indicate that 1,234 of the 3,036 sites classified by the CERCLIS

database as awaiting an NPL decision are unlikely to become eligible for

the Superfund program for various reasons. First, CERCLIS inaccurately lists

a significant portion of these sites (about 41 percent) as awaiting an NPL

decision although they are unlikely to become eligible for listing. EPA

regions reported that about 19 percent of the 3,036 sites are unlikely to

become eligible because (1) their risks were judged to be less serious than

is required for placement on the NPL or (2) EPA had already decided

whether or not to proposed them for the list. We consider another

22 percent of the sites as unlikely to become eligible for the NPL because,

according to responding officials, the sites either do not require any

cleanup actions (183 sites), have already been cleaned up (182 sites); or

are currently undergoing final cleanup (304 sites) under state programs.

The following tables present, by state, the 1,234 sites that are unlikely to

become eligible for the NPL, their locations, and the reasons that they are

considered not likely to become eligible. In the tables, the phrase

“deferred to another program” indicates that EPA decided to address the

site under an EPA program other than Superfund, such as the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) program, or referred the site to

another agency for action. “No further action planned” indicates that EPA

determined that it would take no further remedial action at the site

(without concluding that some state or private cleanup might be

appropriate). “No cleanup needed” indicates that both EPA and the state

agreed that the site did not need further cleanup. In our surveys,

respondents could select more than one response; therefore, there may be

more than one explanation cited for why a site is unlikely to become

eligible.

As we discuss in app. VIII, we did not receive fully completed state surveys for 491 of the 1,789

potentially eligible sites. Nearly three-quarters of these sites are located in California (125 sites) and

Massachusetts (190 sites). In addition, we received only partial information from New York for 54 of

its 56 potentially eligible sites. Furthermore, EPA regions I, II, and V answered certain questions in a

standardized manner for all sites in the region rather than on a site-specific basis. Consequently, we

could not characterize the conditions at sites in these states and regions with the same degree of

accuracy as for other sites.

Objectives, Scope, and Methodology

Our objectives in this review were to obtain site-by-site information on

(1) the number and characteristics of sites classified as awaiting an NPL

decision as of October 1997 that continue to be potentially eligible for the

list; (2) the number and characteristics of sites whose placement on the

NPL was opposed by state governors as of the same date; and (3) the

number of sites classified as awaiting an NPL decision as of October 1997

that are not likely to become eligible for the list and the reasons why they

are not. To achieve these objectives, we developed and mailed several

surveys to officials in EPA regions, the states, and other federal agencies

with responsibility for hazardous waste sites. The surveys appear in

appendix VII.

EPA’s CERCLIS database indicated that as of October 8, 1997, 3,036 sites were

potentially eligible for the NPL on the basis of a combination of criteria.

These criteria include a preliminary Hazard Ranking System score of 28.5

or above, the completion of a site inspection, and a status that neither

eliminates the site from NPL consideration nor includes a proposal to list it.

Because our objectives require data for each site, we did not sample the

sites but included all 3,036 in our survey. The database also indicated that

as of October 15, 1997, state governors did not concur in the placement on

the NPL of 33 sites in 19 states. These sites include 28 nonfederal sites and

5 federal sites.

To obtain information on all 3,036 sites that EPA identified as awaiting an

NPL decision, we developed three mail surveys. We sent the first survey to

officials in EPA’s 10 regional offices responsible for evaluating the sites and

making decisions about listing. Because state officials may have closer

contact with some of the sites, we sent the second survey to officials in the

50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Midway Island, the Northern

Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Navajo Nation (collectively referred

to as states in this report). In addition, we sent a third survey to federal

agencies that are responsible for cleaning up the 157 federally owned

and/or operated sites that were classified as awaiting an NPL decision. We

sent surveys on the 157 sites to 14 federal agencies, including the

departments of Agriculture, the Air Force, the Army, Defense, Energy, the

Interior, the Navy, and Transportation; the Bureau of Land Management;

the General Services Administration; the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the U.S. Coast Guard;

and the U.S. Forest Service. The three surveys asked respondents for

detailed information on the conditions at each site, including the site’s

current and potential risks, and their opinions on the involvement of

potentially responsible parties and the likely outcome for the site,

Page 444 GAO/RCED-99-22 Hazardous Waste
Appendix VIII 

Objectives, Scope, and Methodology

including any potential for NPL listing. For the 33 sites that EPA considered

proposing for the NPL but whose listing was opposed by state governors,

we developed three more surveys. These surveys asked similar questions

to those in the other surveys but omitted questions on the sites’ potential

NPL status. We mailed these surveys to the appropriate officials in eight EPA

regions, 19 states, and the departments of the Air Force and the Army.

We mailed all of our surveys in November and December 1997 and

received the final responses in September 1998. We received one or more

survey responses for 3,023 (99.6 percent) of the 3,036 sites identified by

EPA as awaiting an NPL decision. On the basis of these responses, we

identified 1,234 sites that are unlikely to become eligible for the NPL or no

longer awaiting an NPL decision. Because we received no survey responses

for 13 sites, we could not determine whether they are still potentially

eligible for the NPL; therefore, we excluded these sites from our analyses.

The remaining 1,789 sites are analyzed in this report as potentially eligible

sites. Of these sites, 1,739 are nonfederal sites, and 50 are federally owned

or operated sites.

We obtained survey information from both EPA and the states on 1,319

(76 percent) of the 1,739 potentially eligible nonfederal sites. This

information includes 1,326 state responses (76 percent) and 1,732

responses from EPA (99.6 percent). Similarly, we obtained information

from at least two of the three possible respondents—EPA, other federal

agencies, and states—for 45 (90 percent) of the 50 potentially eligible

federal sites. Responsible federal agencies provided information for 39

(78 percent) of the 50 potentially eligible federal sites, states provided

responses for 26 (52 percent) of the federal sites, and EPA regions provided

responses for 49 (98 percent) of the federal sites. Similarly, we obtained

data from at least one respondent for 32 of the 33 sites whose listing on

the NPL was opposed by state governors, specifically, responses from both

EPA and the state for 22 sites (67 percent), EPA alone for 8 sites

(24 percent), and the state alone for 2 sites (6 percent). We received a

survey response from neither EPA nor the state on one remaining site. For

the 5 of the 33 sites that are federal facilities, we received responses from

all three parties for 3 sites (60 percent), from the state and responsible

federal agency for 1 site (20 percent), and from EPA and the state for 1 site

(20 percent). In total, we received surveys from EPA regions for 30

(91 percent) of the 33 sites, from states for 24 (73 percent) of these sites,

and from responsible federal agencies for 4 (80 percent) of the 5 sites.

Objectives, Scope, and Methodology

Because 19 states—including California, Massachusetts, and New York,

which account for 19 percent of the 3,036 sites—did not fully respond to

our initial mailing of the survey of the potentially eligible sites, in July 1998

we sent a second survey to these states. In order to minimize the effort

required for states to complete this follow-up survey, we eliminated sites

that EPA and other federal agencies had identified as no longer eligible for

the NPL. In addition, the follow-up survey included as a starting point the

information on each site that EPA regions had provided in their responses.

We asked state officials to confirm or correct the information provided to

us by EPA regions. In the follow-up survey, we also repeated the original

questions asked of the states but not of EPA regions. The original state

survey was included as a reference source. This follow-up effort resulted

in our receiving an additional 85 completed surveys from some states.

However, despite numerous contacts, we received no survey responses

from California, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and the District of Columbia.

Rather than responding to our survey, California officials suggested that

we obtain their responses to a brief 1-page survey on potentially eligible

sites conducted by the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste

Management Officials. Similarly, Massachusetts officials provided us

copies of their responses to the Association’s survey. However, because of

differences in the format, specificity of answers, comparability of answers,

and topics covered, we could not incorporate the results of that survey

into our analyses.

New York State officials generally responded to only three survey

questions for the sites in that state that EPA classified as awaiting an NPL

decision. The three questions asked for information about whether sites

would be listed on the NPL and what activities the state has taken to

cleanup the sites. The responses to these questions were incorporated into

our analyses.

While our overall survey response rate was high, our data for some states

are incomplete. We did not receive state surveys for 491 of the 1,789

potentially eligible sites. Nearly three-quarters of these sites are located in

California (125 sites) and Massachusetts (190 sites). In addition, we

received only partial information from New York for 54 of its 56

potentially eligible sites. Table VIII.1 shows the 16 states that either did not

respond to our survey or responded only in part, and the number and

percentage of potentially eligible sites in each state for which we did not

receive fully completed surveys.

aNew York provided answers to three questions for 54 sites and returned completed surveys for 2

additional sites.

We also did not receive completed surveys from all states with sites that

EPA considered proposing for the NPL but whose listing was opposed by the

states’ governors. We received no survey responses for these sites from

California (three sites), Mississippi (two sites), and Utah (three sites).

EPA regions I and V notified us that because of time and resource

constraints, they had taken a generic approach to answering certain

survey questions: that is, they answered certain questions in a

standardized manner for all sites in the region rather than on a site-specific

basis. Questions addressed in this manner included those relating to the

likely placement of sites on the NPL and the risks posed by the sites, among

other questions. For example, for most sites, Region I answered our

questions about the degree of human health or environmental risks posed

by each site by responding that it is “too early to tell/more information is

needed to answer” because, according to Region I officials, “risk

Page 447 GAO/RCED-99-22 Hazardous Waste
Appendix VIII 

Objectives, Scope, and Methodology

assessments are not conducted for most CERCLIS sites, and thus the current

risks posed by these sites are difficult to determine.” EPA Region II

responded to key survey questions in a similar manner. Consequently,

because neither EPA regions I, II, and V, nor three states in those

regions —Massachusetts (190 sites), New Jersey (66 sites), and New York

(54 sites)—provided complete survey information, we could not

characterize the conditions at these sites with the same degree of accuracy

as for other sites. For example, these three states account for 54 percent

of the sites for which we could not obtain an official’s estimate of the risks

to human health and the environment.

We conducted pretests of our surveys with officials in six states, at two

federal agencies, and in five EPA regional offices. Each pretest consisted of

a visit with a state or federal official.10 We attempted to vary the types of

sites for which we conducted pretests and the familiarity of the

respondents with the sites. In some cases, the respondent used only site

records to answer our survey. In other cases, the respondent knew most of

the answers without consulting records. The pretest attempted to simulate

the actual survey experience by asking the official to fill out the survey

while GAO staff observed and took notes. Then the official was interviewed

about the survey items to ensure that (1) the questions were readable and

clear, (2) terms were precise, (3) the survey was not a burden that would

result in a lack of cooperation, and (4) the survey appeared independent

and unbiased. We made appropriate changes to the final survey on the

basis of our pretesting. In addition to our pretesting, we obtained views on

our surveys from managers in EPA’s Office of Emergency and Remedial

Response in Washington, D.C., which oversees the Superfund program. We

incorporated comments from these reviews as appropriate.

In analyzing survey responses, we reviewed comments written by

respondents on the surveys, including marginal comments, comments at

the end of the survey, and comments when the respondents provided

explanations after checking “other.” If a respondent’s comment explaining

the selection of “other” could reasonably be interpreted as another of the

answer choices provided for the question, we revised the response as

appropriate. In some cases, respondents’ comments indicated a

misunderstanding of our questions or answer choices. In these cases,

where possible, we revised the response to reflect the appropriate answer.

In other cases, respondents checked more than one answer; we then

selected, where possible, what we considered to be the appropriate

answer, on the basis of other responses in the survey or our own

10For Puerto Rico and the Navajo Nation, we contacted officials by telephone to conduct pretests.

judgment. The procedures used in this editing process were documented

in an internal 17-page document provided to all of the GAO reviewers of the

survey responses. At least two reviewers analyzed each survey response,

and the reviewers coordinated their efforts to ensure that all reviewers

followed the established procedures. Both the original answers and the

answers revised by reviewers were recorded.

In our surveys of officials of EPA regions, states, and federal agencies,

some of the questions we asked about particular sites were identical. We

combined the responses to these questions where possible in this report. If

opinions differed, we used a set of criteria to combine answers. Namely,

we chose the answer that seemed to reflect the most knowledge of the

site. For site conditions, we assumed that any affirmative answer was the

more knowledgeable. For example, if one respondent said that a site has

groundwater contamination and the other respondent was unable to

comment on that site’s contamination, we recorded the site as having

groundwater contamination. We also sought to avoid understatement of

the risks posed by a site. Therefore, if respondents disagreed on the level

of a site’s risks, we selected the response indicating the more severe

threat. For example, sites scored by any respondent as high-risk were

recorded as high-risk sites. Furthermore, if a respondent indicated in any

survey response that a site might be included on the NPL, we recorded the

site as a possible candidate for the NPL. Finally, when opinions about the

most likely outcome for a site were in conflict—for example, if the state

thought that EPA would clean up a site but EPA thought the state would

conduct the cleanup—we recorded the most likely outcome as unknown.

In addition to our mail surveys, we also conducted a telephone survey with

officials in 44 states to determine general information on their hazardous

waste management programs and sites within their states. State officials in

Idaho, New York, Missouri, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming declined to

participate in our telephone survey.

We conducted our review between May 1997 and November 1998 in

accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.
