Subject: [CPEO-BIF] EPA’s Proposed Rule for Adding Subsurface (Including Vapor) Intrusion to the Superfund NPL: A Summary
 
U.S. EPA’s Proposed Rule for Adding Subsurface (Including Vapor) Intrusion to the Superfund National Priorities List: A Summary

by Lenny Siegel
March, 2016

On February 29, 2016 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule, “Addition of a Subsurface Intrusion Component to the Hazard Ranking System” in the Federal Register. See https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/02/29/2016-02749/ addition-of-a-subsurface-intrusion-component-to-the-hazard-ranking- system). It is taking formal comments on the proposed rule through April 29, 2016. Instructions for submitting comments may be found at www.regulations.gov.

This long-awaited rule provides an option for adding sites with subsurface intrusion of hazardous substances to the “Superfund” National Priorities List (NPL), even where other pathways are insufficient for listing. For Lenny Siegel’s description of the rule, see http://www.cpeo.org/pubs/HRS-SsI-PDF .
