GLOSSARY
Aquifer - A layer of rock or soil below the ground surface that can supply usablequantities of ground water to wells and springs. Aquifers can be a source of waterfor dr inking and other uses.
Community Relations Plan (CRP) - The CRP outlines specific community relationsactivities that occur during the remedial response at a site. The CRP outlines howthe U.S. EPA will keep the public informed of work at the site and the ways inwhich citizens can review and comment on decisions that may affect the f inalactions at the site. This document is available in the U.S. EPA informationrepository.
Comprehensive Environmental Response. Compensation, and Liabi l i ty Act(CERCLA) - A Federal law passed in 1980 and modified in 1986 by the SuperfundAmendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). The Act created a special tax onchemical manufacturers that goes into a trust fund, commonly known asSuperfund, to investigate and clean up hazardous waste sites. Under the programU.S. EPA can either:
o Pay for site cleanup when parties responsible for the contaminationcannot be located or are unwilling or unable to perform the work.
o Take legal action to force parties responsible for site contamination toclean up the site or pay back the federal government for the cost of the cleanup.
Consent Decree (CD) - A legal document, approved and issued by a judge, thatformalizes an agreement reached between U.S. EPA and potentially responsibleparties (PRPs) where PRPs will perform all or part of a Superfund site cleanup.The consent decree describes actions that PRPs are required to perform and issubject to a public comment period.
Consent Order - A legal document negotiated by U.S. EPA and potentiallyresponsible parties which sets forth the guidelines for conducting an RI/FS.
Contaminant Plume - A column of contamination with measurable horizontal andvertical dimensions that is suspended in and moves with ground water.
The Hazard Ranking System (MRS) - Used by U.S. EPA to decide whether a siteshould be placed on the National Priorities List (NPL). The score a site receivesfrom the HRS compares the relative hazards for d i f fe ren t sites, t ak ing intoaccount the impact the site has on ground water, surface water, and air, as well asthe number of people potentially affected by the contamination. Sites receiving ascore of 28.5 or greater are proposed for the NPL.
Heavy Metals - A group of metals including lead, chromium, cadmium, and cobalt.These can be highly toxic at relat ively low concentrations.
Leachate - A common term when talking about landfills. Leachate is not a specificchemical itself; it is a l iquid tha t has percolated through wastes and containscomponents of these wastes. For instance, water may mix with leaking wastesinside a l andf i l l , become contaminated, and then seep into the water table,polluting drinking water wells.
Monitoring Wells - Special wells drilled at specific locations on or off a hazardouswaste site where ground water can be sampled at selected depths. The samples arethen studied to determine such things as the direction of ground water flow andthe types and amounts of contaminants present.
National Priorities List (NPL) — U.S. EPA's list of the top priority hazardous wastesites in the country that are eligible for federal cleanup money under Superfund.
Public Comment Period - A time period during which the public can review andcomment on various documents and U.S. EPA actions. For example, a commentperiod is provided when U.S. EPA proposes to add sites to the National PrioritiesList. Also, a minimum 30-day comment period is held to allow citizens to reviewand comment on a draft feasibility study.
Remedial Action (RA) — Response actions that stop or substantially reduce arelease or threat of a release of hazardous substances that are serious but not animmediate threat to public health.
Remedial Alternative — A method or combination of methods designed to protectpublic health, welfare and the environment over the long term, from releases ofhazardous substances at a Superfund site. Remedial alternatives are usuallyprojects or a combination of technologies that contain, remove, or destroy most ofthe contaminants in the air, water, soil and/or ground water at a Superfund site.
Remedial Design (RD) -- A phase of the remedial action that follows the remedialinvestigation/feasibility study and includes the development of engineeringdrawings and specifications for a site cleanup.
Remedial Investigation/Feasibil i ty Study (RI/FS) -- A Remedial Investigation (RI)examines the nature and extent of contamination problems at a site. TheFeasibility Study (FS) evaluates d i f ferent remedial alternatives for site cleanupand recommends the most cost effective alternative.
Sludge -- A generic term that describes a thickened solid/liquid waste by-productof an industrial or recycling process.
Sludge Lagoon — A pond used to dry or store semi-solid waste products (sludge).
Suoerfund -- The commonly used term that describes the federal legislationauthorizing U.S. EPA to investigate and respond to the release or threatened releaseof hazardous substances into the environment. Also known as CERCLA(Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liabil i ty Act). In1986, Superfund was reauthorized as SARA - Superfund Amendments andReauthorizat ion Act.
Superfund Amendments and Reau tho r i za t i on Act (SARA) -- Modifications toCERCLA enacted on October 17, 1986.
