PREAMBLE

The purpose of this document is to provide the public with an index to the Administrative 

Record File (AR File) for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) selected remedial 

action to respond to conditions at the AT & SF (Albuquerque) Superfund Site (the “Site”). EPA’s 

action is authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. 

Section 113 (j)(1) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section 9613 (j)(1), provides that judicial 

review of the adequacy of a CERCLA response action shall be limited to the Administrative 

Record (AR). Section 113 (k)(1) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section 9613 (k)(1), requires the EPA 

to establish an AR upon which it shall base the selection of its remedial actions. As the EPA 

decides what to do at the site of a release of hazardous substances, it compiles documents 

concerning the site and it’s decision into an “AR File.” This means that documents may be added 

to the AR File from time to time. After the EPA Regional Administrator or the Administrator’s 

delegate signs the Action Memorandum or the Record of Decision memorializing the selection of 

the action, the documents which form the basis for the selection of the response action are then 

known as the Administrative Record “AR.” 

Section 113(k)(1) of CERCLA requires the EPA to make the AR File available to the 

public at or near the site of the response action. Accordingly, the EPA has established a 

repository where the AR File may be reviewed near the Site at: 

Albuquerque Public Library 

Main Downtown Branch 

501 Copper Avenue NW 

Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 

(505) 768-5141 

 

and 

New Mexico Environment Department 

Harold Runnels Building 

1190 St. Francis Drive 

Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87505 

(505) 827-0184 

The public also may review the AR File at the EPA Region 6 office in Dallas, Texas, by 

contacting the Remedial Project Manager at the address listed below. The AR File is available for 

public review during normal business hours. The AR File is treated as a non-circulating reference 

document. Any document in the AR File may be photocopied according to the procedures used at 

the repository or at the EPA Region 6 office. This index and the AR File were compiled in 

accordance with the EPA’s Final Guidance on Administrative Records for Selecting CERCLA 

Response Actions, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Directive Number 

9833.3A1 (December 3, 1990). 

Documents listed as bibliographic sources for other documents in the AR File might not be 
2 

listed separately in the index. Where a document is listed in the index but not located among the 

documents which the EPA has made available in the repository, the EPA may, upon request, 

include the document in the repository or make the document available for review at an alternate 

location. This applies to documents such as verified sampling data, chain of custody forms, 

guidance and policy documents, as well as voluminous site-specific reports. It does not apply 

to documents in EPA’s confidential file. (Copies of guidance documents also can be obtained by 

calling the RCRA/Superfund/Title 3 Hotline at (800) 424-9346.) 

 These requests should be addressed to: 

Katrina Higgins-Coltrain 

Remedial Project Manager 

U.S. EPA Region 6 

1445 Ross Avenue 

Dallas, Texas 75202-2733 

(214) 665-8143 

The EPA response selection guidance compendium index has not been updated since 

March 22, 1991 (see CERCLA Administrative Records: First Update of the Compendium of 

Documents Used for Selecting CERCLA Response Actions [March 22, 1991]); accordingly, it is 

not included here. Moreover, based on resource considerations, the Region 6 Superfund Division 

Director has decided not to maintain a Region 6 compendium of response selection guidance. 

Instead, consistent with 40 CFR Section 300.805(a)(2) and 300.810(a)(2) and OSWER Directive 

No. 9833.3A-1 (page 37), the AR File Index includes listings of all guidance documents which 

may form a basis for the selection of the response action in question. 

The documents included in the AR File index are arranged predominantly in chronological 

order. The AR File index helps locate and retrieve documents in the file. It also provides an 

overview of the response action history. The index includes the following information for each 

document: 

· Doc ID- The document identifier number. 

· Date - The date the document was published and/or released. “01/01/2525" means no date 

was recorded. 

· Pages - Total number of printed pages in the document, including attachments. 

· Title - Descriptive heading of the document.

· Document Type - General identification, (e.g. correspondence, Remedial Investigation 

Report, Record of Decision.) 

· Author - Name of originator, and the name of the organization that the author is affiliated 

with. If either the originator name or the organization name is not identified, then the field 

is captured with the letters “N/A”. 

· Addressee- Name and affiliation of the addressee. If either the originator name or the 

organization name is not identified, then the field is captured with the letters “N/A”.
