THIRTY-ONE RCRA SHOWCASE PILOTS CHOSEN

Robin Woods 202-564-7841/woods.robin@epa.gov



EPA has announced the selection of 31 Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA) Showcase pilots as part of the implementation of the second 
round of RCRA Cleanup Reforms which EPA announced on Jan. 11, 2001. The 
RCRA Showcase Pilots illustrate innovative efforts in RCRA Corrective 
Action cleanups at facilities nationwide and stimulate others to explore 
similar efforts to speed up progress toward EPA's cleanup goals. Those 
goals are to control human exposures at 95 percent of the 1,714 high 
priority baseline facilities and to control migration of contaminated 
groundwater at 70 percent of these facilities by 2005. The scope of 
innovations is broad and includes multi-regional and sector-based 
approaches, new technologies or new applications of existing 
technologies, electronic information transfer and documentation, 
streamlined administrative process, brownfields redevelopment tools, 
risk-based performance standards and enhanced stakeholder involvement. 
The RCRA Showcase Pilots provide an opportunity for program 
implementors, regulated industry and other stakeholders to field test 
innovative approaches to expediting cleanup, to focus resources and 
expertise at one or multiple sites and to showcase sites that can 
transfer lessons learned to other similar situations across the country. 
The pilots also provide an opportunity for establishment of unique and 
beneficial partnerships and maximum public awareness of the innovations.
