Draft Soil Screening Guidance

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold an informational meeting on December 1, 1994, to present a document entitled ``Draft Soil Screening Guidance.'' This guidance is intended to serve as a tool to expedite the evaluation of contaminated soils at sites addressed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund. While the guidance is intended to be used as a screening tool to determine if further study is warranted at a site, it does not represent clean-up standards for a site. Such guidance is not intended to have the force of a regulation and today's notice is not a proposed rule. A subsequent Federal Register notice, forthcoming in several weeks, will announce the availability of and seek public comment on this draft guidance and a supporting Technical Background Document.
