What is SEFA?

SEFA is… a set of Excel workbooks developed by EPA

designed for conducting environmental footprint analyses at clean-up sites

compatible with EPA’s Footprinting Methodology

set up in “blank slate” template format

structured for inputting data, running calculations, and organizing outputs

SEFA and EPA’s Footprinting Methodology are publicly available and posted at: www.cluin.org/greenremediation/methodology/index.cfm
