                                 APPENDIX A
       This appendix represents the FY90 methodologies for deriving each of the
SCAP/SPMS targets and projection measures. If the application of the methodologies
result in preliminary targets above the national budget, a proportional calibration back to
budget will be applied. This appendix should be used as a tool for understanding the initial
SCAP targets/measures issued to each region by Headquarters

       For all activities, final targets and projection measures will be established after
Headquarters/regional negotiations

       If there are any questions as to applicability of a particular activity to a
target/measure, please refer to SCAP/SPMS Activity Definitions Also note that all tables
in this appendix are hypothetical and used for demonstration purposes only.

PRE-REMEDIAL METHODOLOGIES
PA Completions

      METHODOLOGY: The national PA completion target for FY90 reflects the
      number of expected PA completions in the budget The budget figure was denved
      by combining the number of sites expected to be added to CERCLIS during FY89
      with the RCRA sites expected to be investigated under the Agency's Environmental
      Priorities Initiative (EPI)

      A PA completion target for a particular region is established through the following
      procedures:

      •      Determine the number of sites in CERCLIS where a PA has not been
             conducted as of December 31,1988

      •      Determine each region's percentage of the total CERCLIS sites which have
             not had a PA as of December 31,1988

      •      Multiply this percentage by the national budget target to determine each
             region's CERCLIS PA target

      *      Determine each region's percentage of the total EPI sites identified.

      •      Multiply that percentage by the national EPI budget target to determine the
             region's EPI target.

      »      Add the region's CERCLIS PA target and EPI target to obtain the overall
             PA target.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90
SI Completions

      METHODOLOGY- The national SSI completion target for FY90 was established
      as a reasonable goal given the Agency's program priorities and implements the
      second year of a two year strategy to eliminate the SSI backlog in regions 6-10

      Regional SSI completion targets are denved through the following procedures

      •      Determine the number of sites in CERCLIS as of 12/31/88

             Subtract 1) die sites which have an SSI recorded in CERCLIS, 2) those
             sites with a PA which results in a low priority SSI, and 3) those with a final
             disposition of NFRAP

      *      Determine the number of sites which meet this criteria in regions 6-10
             These are the targets for these regions

      •      Subtract the targets for regions 6-10 from the national budget target and
             from the CERCLIS sites identified.

      •      Determine regions 1-5 percentage of the remaining CERCLIS sites
             identified.

      •      Multiply this percentage by the remaining national budget target. These are
             the targets for regions 1-5

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY9Q-
LSI Starts
      METHODOLOGY. The national LSI start target for FY90 reflects the number of
      expected LSIs in the budget The regional LSI starffefget is established through the
      following procedures-                        ^ oe

      •       Determine the number of sites in CERCLIS in each region as of December
             31,1988 which have had an SSI and do not have a final disposition of
             NFRAP.

             Add up the regional totals to obtain a national total of sites recommended for
             LSIs

      *       Determine the region's percentage of the total national number of sites
             recommended for LSIs

      •       Apply this percentage to the national target for LSI starts.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90. In FY89, the LSI target was based on the estimated
      number of SSIs that lead to NPL site  additions.

      (RI/FS}

First RI/FS Starts —Program and PRP Lead

      METHODOLOGY: The national target for first RI/FS starts is based on the FY90
      budget The regional targets are established through the following methodology:

      •      Determine the number of first RODs signed in FY88 and planned in FY89
             for each region.

      •      Calculate each region's percentage of national first RODs in FY88 and
             FY89.

      •      Multiply this percentage by the national target for first RI/FS starts in FY90

      First RI/FS stan totals will be  broken down based on the FY90 budget number to
      reflect Program and PRP lead  RI/FS activities.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90: Targets are based entirely on the number of RODs
      signed

First RD Starts— Program and PRP Lead
      METHODOLOGY:  The national target for first RD starts is based on the regions'
      projected first Rp starts in CERCLIS
      The methodology used to derive the first regional RD start targets is as follows:
      *      Initial first RD candidate list for each region is determined from CERCLIS
      *      Regions identify which of the RD candidates they plan to start, which sites
             are to be Fund-financed, and which are to be RP lead.
      •      Sites with Fund-financed RI/FS that appear to be good candidates for RP
             lead RDs during FY90 should be listed as PRP lead or as an alternate for
             FY90 funding. Twenty to tweny-five percent of the Fund RI/FS should

REMOVAL METHODOLOGIES



      NPL  SITES

First Removal Start at NPL Sites — Program and PRP Lead

      METHODOLOGY: The national target for first NPL removal activity includes
      Fund-financed and PRP removal actions taken under CERCLA. The PRP target is
      based on an historical evaluation of orders issued for removal actions. Historically
      25 percent of the removals were performed by the PRPs under the terms of an
      Administrative Order on consent or a unilateral order. For initial targets each region
      will have at least one PRP lead NPL removal first start

      The initial regional Fund-financed and PRP lead NPL removals target methodology
      is as follows:

      •      Determine each region's percentage of the historical (FY85-FY88) first NPL
             removals


      *      Multiply this percentage by the irmal NPL first start removal target to get the
             preliminary regional target

      *      Multiply the regional removal target by 25 to derive the PRP target

      DIFFERENCE FY88-FY90:


Subsequent NPL Removal Sjafls^Program and PRP Lead

      METHODOLOGY. The national SPMS/SCAP target for subsequent NPL removal
      activities is based on the Fund budget target and historical averages. The initial
      regional Fund-financed and PRP lead subsequent NPL removal starts is as follows:

      •      Determine each region's percentage of the historical (FY85-FY88)

Removal Completions at NPL Sites -- Program and PRP Lead

       METHODOLOGY: The initial national target for NPL removal completions is
       based on projected FY90 completions from the regions. This target is very flexible,
       and final SCAP and SPMS targets for NPL removal completions will be determined
       only after extensive discussions with the regions

       Regional targets are determined using the following steps

       *      Regions submit their projections for NPL removal completions for FY90
             through the CERCLIS non-site data base.

       •      Headquarters totals each region's projections. These projections become
             the initial completion targets for each region (Completion targets should
             coincide to a great extent with the region's start target)

       DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90
Removal Completions at NPL Sites that Lead to Deletion — Program and PRP Lead

      METHODOLOGY: The initial national target for NPL removal completions that
      lead to deletion is based on projected FY90 completions from the regions. Regions
      submit their projections for NPL completions that lead to deletion for FY90 through
      the CERCLIS non-site data base.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY9Q- New methodology for FY90.

      NON-NPL SITES

Non-NPL Removal Starts — Program and PRP Lead

      METHODOLOGY

      •     Determine each region's percentage of the historical non-NPL removal
            starts.

      *     Multiply this percentage by the national non-NPL removal target to obtain
            the region's target

            Multiply the Fund target by 33 to determine the Fund vs PRP split Each
            region will have at least one PRP lead non-NPL removal start

      DIFFERENCE FY89-9Q-  The percentage of PRP removals has increased.


Non-NPL Removal Completions -- Program and PRP Lead

      METHODOLOGY. The determination of the initial national and regional non-NPL
      removal completion targets follows the NPL removal completion targets.

      METHODOLOGY: National and regional projections are based on projections of
      site additions to the NPL.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90 New methodology for FY90.


Completed PRP Search at NPL Sites

      METHODOLOGY: National and regional projections are based on the number of
      sites in each region expected to be added to the NPL between July 1989 and June
      1990.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90 A umeframe for the updates was added.


Completed PRP Search at Non-NPL Sites

      METHODOLOGY: The national and regional projections for PRP searches at non-
      NPL removal sites is determined by summing the regional targets for removal starts
      at non-NPL sites.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-9Q-


RI/FS Negotiation Starts

      METHODOLOGY: The national and regional projections are based on 90% of a
      region's targets for RI/FS starts from second quarter FY90 through first quarter
      FY91. This projection is based on the assumption that RI/FS negotiations begin the
      quarter prior to the planned RI/FS start and PRPs will exist at 90% of the sites
      (historical average).

Start of RD/RA Negotiations.

       METHODOLOGY: The national and regional FY90 targets for RD/RA negotiation
       starts is based on adding the RODs scheduled for second quarter FY90 through first
       quarter FY91. This methodology is based on the assumption that RD/RA
       negotiations begin one quarter prior to the ROD.

                   ;FY89-FY90r New methodology for FY90.
Conclusion of RD/RA Negotiations

       METHODOLOGY: The national and regional FY90 targets for RD/RA negotiations
       are calculated by adding the number of RODs scheduled to complete between the
       third quarter of FY89 and the second quarter of FY90. This methodology is based
       on the assumption that RD/RA negotiations will begin one quarter prior to the
       signature of the ROD and complete two quarters post ROD

       DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90
      SETTLEMENTS  AND  REFERRALS

Section 106/107 Case Resolunon//Cost Recovery JudiqaJ Settlement

      METHODOLOGY  The national and regional targets are based on referred
      § 106/1107 cases that have not been fully settled that will be in their fourth year of
      litigation (i.e., 12 or more quarters)  This includes those cases where a full trial has
      not begun when the targets are set or where the original claim has not been settled
      or withdrawn. A separate target is set for §106 and §107.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90- The timeframe for how long litigation has been
      ongoing has been added.


Section 106 RD/RA Referrals/Orders

      METHODOLOGY:  The regional and national targets are based on historical
      averages. Historically 25% of the Fund-financed RI/FS and 95% of PRP RODs
      have led to settlements for RD/RA. These targets are determined by taking the
      Fund and PRP lead RODs that are expected to be signed between the second quarter
      of FY89 through the first quarter of FY90 and applying these percentages.

Administration Cost Recovery Settlements

       METHODOLOGY: The following steps outline the methodology for determining
       national and regional targets:

       •      An initial universe of possible administrative settlement candidates is
             identified. Those candidates were based on the following selection criteria
             consistent with current cost recovery guidance and focus on all completed
             removals or ERAs which cost less than $200,000

                    Regional percentages of the universe are determined;

                    Each region's percent of the universe is applied to the national
                    budget number.

       DIFFERENCE FY89-FY90  Candidate sites are identified in FY90.
Cost Recovery Cases Referred to DQJ or HO >$200K (Includes Section 107 Removal,
RI/FS, and RD)

       METHODOLOGY:  The following steps outline the methodology for determining
       national and regional targets:

       *      An initial universe of § 107 Removal, RI/FS, and RD candidates is
             identified. It is based on:

                    All sites with a completed removal costing greater than $200K
                    where there is no further remedial work planned.

                    All sites with a completed removal facing statute of limitations,

                    Ail sites with a completed RI/FS where the RA is scheduled to begin
                    more than 10 quarters after the ROD, and              —u-.^.

                    All sites with a completed RD where the RA is not scheduled to
                    begin within 10 quarters (RA work delayed due to budget
                    constraints).

       •      From the initial universe, subtract cases identified for no further action due
              to:

              1)    Non-viable PRPs,
              2)    No PRPs identified,
              3)    Questionable evidence;
              4)    Questionable legal case; and
              5)    Other reason.

       *      Exclude sites with §106/§ 107 referrals The remaining total provides
              potential universe.

       •      Apply each region's percentage to the national budget target for § 107
              removals to get initial target

       DIFFERENCE FY89-FY9Q.The split in the types nf activities being referred for
       cost recovery has caused new methodologies to be developed for FY90


Cost Recovery Cases Referred to DOJ or HO >20QK (RAs et all)

       METHODOLOGY: The following steps outline the methodology for determining
       national and regional targets:

       •      An initial universe is determined. It is based on:

                    All sites where remedial action has commenced and there is no prior
                    §107 referral or §106/§107 referral.

       •      From this universe, subtract cases where regions have identified that no
              further action is advised due to:

              1)     Non-viable PRPs;
              2)     No PRPs identified;
              3)     Questionable evidence,
              4)     Questionable legal case; and
              5)     Other reason

       This provides the potential universe of candidates

       •      Determine regional percentages of potential universe

       *      Apply regional percentages to the national budget number for § 107 referrals
              for RAs

       DIFFERENCE FY89-Y9Q: The split in the types of activities being referred for
       cost recovery has caused new methodologies to be developed for FY90.

      regional targets:

      *      An initial universe of § 106/§ 107 removal, Rl/FS, and RD/RA candidates is identified.
             It is based on sites where-

                   There will be a § 106/§ 107 action for removal where the §107 count is pursuing
                   past costs >200K,

                   There will be a § 106/§ 107 for RI/FS where the § 107 count is pursuing past
                   costs >200K, and

                   There will be a § 106/§ 107 for RD/RA where the § 107 count is pursuing past
                   costs >200K (RD/RA referrals)

      *      The total number of these cases is the initial projection for this measure.

      DIFFERENCE FY89-FY9Q- New methodology for FY90


Cost Recovery Cases referred to DOJ or HO >2QOK (§ 106/§ 107 for Remedial Action)

      METHODOLOGY. The initial projection is based on sites where there is to be a PRP RA but
      there was no previous PRP work and past costs total  >200K

      DIFFERENCE FY8Q-FY9Q- The split m the types of activities being referred for cost recovery
      has caused new methodologies to be developed for FY90


Administrative Order for Removal Actions

      METHODOLOGY The national projection for administrative orders (unilateral or consent) for
      removals is determined by summing the Fund-financed regional targets for first NPL and non-
      NPL removal starts and dividing that total by three (Historically PRP removals have been 1/3
      of Fund removals).

      Regional projections are based on targets for first NPL and non-NPL removal starts.

  APPLICABILITY OF THE FREEDOM  OF INFORMATION  ACT TO SCAP


       PUBLIC SCAP REPORTS

       Public SCAP reports consist of a set of CERCLIS-generated reports that have had all sensitive
material (records or information that are protected under FOIA and cannot be released to the public)
removed. Public SCAP reports are SCAP 11 (Public SCAP NPL Site Summary) and SCAP 12
(Public SCAP Non-NPL Site Summary) on the CERCLIS reports menu  These CERCLIS reports
should be referred to while reading through the following discussion


       SENSITIVE SCAP-RELATED INFORMATION

       FOIA is intended as a disclosure law, not a withholding law  In handling all FOIA requests,
there should be a presumption in favor of releasing information  There are certain types of
information, however, that have been designated as restricted and therefore not releasable to the public
because disclosure could cause significant harm to the Agency. The following information fits into
this category

       •      Section 106 and 107 Litigation and all related information where the planning
             information indicate that the action has or will be referred to HQ or to DOJ If the case
             is filed, the information may be released

       •      PRP lead RI/FS and all related information where only planning data exist

       •      RD/RA-AO/CD and all related information where only planning data exist

       *      Planned obligation amounts related to case budget activity associated with the following
             activities'

                    Removal negotiations;
                    PRP-search negotiations,
                    RI/FS negotiations,
                    RD/RA negotiations, and
                    Cost recovery negotiations

       •      RD and RA planned events where the lead is the RP with no actual starts

       *      RI/FS and RD/RA negotiations planned start and completion dates

       *      Compliance code and status indicator

       •      Planned removal/remedial obligations

       •      All planned activities for sites that have not been designated as final or proposed NPL
             sites in  the Federal Register

       •      Information on the viability of the case on PRPs


       This information is protected from mandatory disclosure by the following FOIA exemptions
and provisions:
                                          B-2

-------
                                                          OSWER Directive 92003-01B
       *      Information falling under numbers 1-8  EXEMPTION 7- Records or information
             compiled for law enforcement purposes. Specifically, EXEMPTION 7 (a) - Could
             reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.

       •      Information falling under number 9 EXEMPTIONS  Privileged Interagency or Intra-
             Agency Memoranda  Specifically, EXEMPTION 5, Privilege 4 - Government
             Commercial Information Privilege

       •      Information falling under number 10  EXEMPTIONS Privileged Interagency or
             Intra-Agency Memoranda  Specifically, EXEMPTION 5, Privilege 1- Deliberative
             Process Privilege

       Because of modifications to Exemption 7 resulting from the 1986 Amendments to FOIA -
changes to the general coverage and the withholding standard language - the Agency has more
flexibility in withholding enforcement activity information

       The sensitive information listed in numbers 1-10 above covers the information restricted from
public disclosure as of the compilation of this manual  Additional information may be added to this
category and information may be restricted in specific instances (though  the pnor disclosure rule must
be adhered to)  If requested information is potentially able to be restricted under a FOIA provision (in
this case, under Exemptions 5, or 7), the official receiving the request should contact the appropnate
FOIA office to determine whether the information  should be restricted.

       AD HOC REPORTING

       In general, all regional requests for ad hoc reporting - a special request for records or
information that is not part of the approved Public SCAP Reports ~ should be referred to HQ
immediately The regional official receiving the request should inform the requestor of this policy and
advise the requestor to contact HQ for a decision on whether this information may be released. If the
requested information is only available from a specific region, and HQ has decided to release this
information, HQ will inform the responsible region that the information should be compiled and
disclosed to the requestor.
                                                                                   s
       Ad hoc reporting requests should be treated like a FOIA request  This includes the following

       •      If the information is protected under one of the FOIA exemptions, the information will
             not be disclosed (except in cases of discretionary release)

       •      Absent FOIA exemption protection, the  information will be disclosed if it can be
             compiled or obtained in a reasonable amount of time by an Agency employee familiar
             with the subject area.

       *      Fees for ad hoc reporting requests will be charged in accordance with the fee structure
             used for FOIA requests

       Depending on the complexity of the request, Agency personnel will not have to undertake the
specific logging and routing procedures required for FOIA requests  However, the request should be
kept on file in a designated ad hoc reporting request file

       If a request is very complex or compilation of the requested information would be very time-
consuming, the request should be denied If the requestor appeals this determination, the requestor
should  be informed that the request must be formulated into an official FOIA request (a written request
for specific records citing FOIA) and must be sent  to the FOIA office
                                           B-3

 SCAP/SPMS  DEFINITIONS FOR TARGETS AND MEASURES
PRE-REMEDIAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

      INTRODUCTION

      The pre-remedial targets/measures track the initial events at Superfund sites. Three
pre-remedial events are projected and tracked through the SCAP process:

      •      Preliminary Assessment (PA) Completions;
      *      Screening Site Inspection (SSI) Completions, and
      *      Listing Site Inspection (LSI) Starts

      PA and SSI completions are SPMS and SCAP targets. LSI starts are SCAP targets
only; no corresponding SPMS target or measure is set PA and SSI completion targets are
set on a quarterly basis.  LSI starts are established on an annual basis  Targets for all pre-
remedial activities are recorded in the CERHELP non-site/incident data system Funds for
pre-remedial activities are included in the other remedial AOA


ACTIVITY PA Completions

      DEFINITION: A preliminary assessment is the first stage of site assessment which
      determines whether a site should be recommended for further CERCLA action.
      Federal, State, and local government files, geological and hydrological data, and
      data concerning site practices are reviewed to complete the PA report

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT  A PA is complete when the report is
      reviewed and approved by the region and the PA completion date and decision on
      further activities is entered into CERCLIS Although a site can have multiple PAs,
      only the first completed PA with an'S' or 'F lead counts toward the target

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89  In order for the region to receive credit
      for the completion, the date and the decision on further activities must be entered in
      CERCLIS.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS  Commitments are made based on the
      sum of the EPA/FIT and State conducted PAs. However, for budget and resource
      allocations, separate projections must be made for EPA/FIT vs State PA
      completions. Separate commitments are also made for sites which are being
      assessed under CERCLA as part of the Environmental Priorities Initiative.
      Commitments are placed in the Targets and Accomplishments portion of the
      CERHELP non-site data system. Accomplishments are reported in the site-specific
      CERCLIS data system.

 PRE-REMEDIAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

 ACTIVITY: SSI Completions
                    The screening site inspection involves collection of field data from a
       hazardous substance site for the purpose of characterizing the magnitude and
       severity of the hazard posed by the site and/or to support enforcement An SSI
       should provide adequate data to determine the site's Hazard Ranking System (MRS)
       score

       DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT: An SSI is complete when the SSI is
       reviewed and approved by the region and the SSI completion date and decision on
       further activities is entered into CERCLIS. Although a site can have multiple SSIs,
       only the first completed SSI with an 'S' or 'F lead counts toward the target.

       CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89:  In order for the region to receive credit
       for the completion, the date and the decision  on further activities must be entered in
       CERCLIS.

       SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS:  Commitments are made based on the
       sum of the EPA/FIT and State  conducted SSIs.  However, for budget and resource
       allocations, separate projections must be made for EPA/FIT vs State SSI
       completions. Separate commitments are made for sites that are being investigated
       under CERCLA under the Environmental Priorities Initiative  Commitments are
       placed in the Targets and Accomplishments portion of the CERHELP non-site data
       system. Accomplishments are  reported in the site-specific CERCLIS data system.


ACTIVITY- LSI Starts

       DEFINITION'  Listing site inspections involve the collection and analysis of
       additional site data including information pertinent to hazardous waste resources,
       migration pathways, and receptors The data collected is generally beyond that
       required for HRS scoring and will expedite the remedial investigation/feasibility
       study (RI/FS) project planning  phase at NPL sues. The LSI starts are dependent
       upon the date the new HRS is final.

       DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT An LSI start is credited when EPA
       approves the workplan for the LSI.

       CHANGES IK DEFINITION FY88-FY89-  LSIs are SCAP measures for FY89.

       SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS:  Planned obligations must be
       associated with those candidate sites where state conducted LSIs are expected.
       Commitments are placed in the  Targets and Accomplishments portion of the
       CERHELP non-site data system. Accomplishments are reported in the site-specific
       CERCLIS data system.

 REMEDIAL  PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

       INTRODUCTION

       The remedial program consists of on-site remedial activities beginning with the first
 RI/FS and proceeding through RD/RA to eventual deletion of the site from die NPL. All
 remedial activities are planned site specifically with quarterly and annual targets set pnor to
 the beginning of the fiscal year. Remedial activities at sites are program or PRP.

       REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION/FEASIBILITY  STUDIES fRI/FS I

       Following are the six SCAP and SPMS activities tracked for RI/FS.

             First RI/FS Starts
             Subsequent RI/FS Starts,
             RI/FS to Public;
             First RI/FS Completion (ROD),
             Subsequent RI/FS Completion (ROD), and
             Final RI/FS Completion (ROD).

       First and subsequent RI/FS starts and first and final RI/FS completions (RODs)  are
SPMS and SCAP targets. RI/FS to public and subsequent RODs are SCAP targets. All
commitments are  made on a combined Fund and PRP financed basis. Separate Fund-
financed and PRP goals for RI/FS  starts are set pnor to the FY and there is a limit on the
number of Fund-financed RI/FS starts dunng the FY The commitment for RI/FS
completion is also based on combined leads All RI/FS activities are planned on a site-
specific basis and entered into CERCLIS.  Funds for RI/FS projects are in the other
remedial AOA.

       Although regions may change activity leads without affecting SCAP or SPMS
targets, care should be taken when substituting a program lead RI/FS for a PRP lead
project.

       For the definitions below, first and subsequent RI/FS starts have been combined,
as have first, subsequent, and final RI/FS completion.
                                                                                X

ACTIVITY:  RI/FS Start — First and Subsequent

      DEFINITION  The intent of an RI/FS is to present carefully scoped solutions to a
      contamination problem. An RI/FS  start involves the development of plans for
       sampling,  operations, quality assurance, health and safety, and community
      relations.  In order for the RI/FS to be counted as a first start it must not have a
      prior CERCLA settlement for an RI/FS or pnor Fund obligation for RI, FS, or
      RI/FS. Forward planning, community relations and/or other support activities do
      not constitute an RI/FS start

REMEDIAL PROGRAM  DEFINITIONS

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT:

      Fund-financed (Including F, S, SE, and EP lead events.) A Fund RI/FS start is
      counted when funds are obligated. Funds are obligated when:  1) A contract has
      been signed by the contracting officer, an Interagency Agreement has been signed
      by the other Federal Agency, or a cooperative agreement has been signed by the
      Regional Administrator or his designee to conduct an RI/FS, and 2) Obligations
      have been recorded in CERCLIS

      PRP-financed (Including RP and PS lead events) A PRP-lead RI/FS counts when
      1) An administrative order is signed by the last appropriate official or party or 2)
      The date the consent decree for RI/FS is referred by the region to DOJ or HQ.  If
      the RI/FS is a PS lead, credit will be given on the day the State order is signed  by
      die last appropriate official or party The appropriate dates must be entered into
      CERCLIS.

      EP-lead An EP-lead RI/FS counts when the region begins preparation of the
      workplans following the initial scoping meeting

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89   Sites with SE, EP, or PS lead events
      have been added.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS   Commitments are made based on
      combined Fund and PRP financed RI/FS starts  Fund-financed and PRP lead
      RI/FS start goals will be established separately pnor to the FY.  A limit will be
      placed on the number of Fund-financed RI/FS that can be started during the FY.
      Targets are established site specifically  For first RI/FS starts, "to be determined"
      sites are allowed
ACTIVITY:  RI/FS to Public

       DEFINITION: The RI/FS is released to the public when the contamination at the
       site has been characterized and alternatives for remediation have been evaluated.

       DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT: An RI/FS is complete the date the public
       comment period on the RI/FS report begins and the proposed plan is available to the
       public. This date must be recorded in CERCLIS under subevent code "CF"

       CHANGES IN DEFINITIONS FY88-FY89* This is a new activity for FY89

       SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS Commitments are made based on
       first, subsequent and final RI/FS released to the public regardless of lead.

REMEDIAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

ACTIVITY: RI/FS Completion -- First. Subsequent, and Final

      DEFINITION: A RI/FS completion is defined as the signature of the Record of
      Decision (ROD)  A ROD is the document prepared after completion of the public
      comment penod on the RI/FS which identifies the Agency's selected remedy for a
      site.

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT: The date the ROD is signed by the
      Regional Administrator or the Assistant Administrator for OSWER is the
      completion date.  This date must be entered in CERCLIS

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89: Final RI/FS completion is a new
      activity for FY89

       REMEDIAL DESIGN (RD)

       RD activities have planning requirements that are similar to Rl/FS requirements.
Four separate SCAP and SPMS activities are tracked:

             First RD Start;
             Subsequent RD Start;
       *     Final RD Start; and
       •     RD Completion

       First and final RD starts are SCAP and SPMS targets. Subsequent RD starts is a
SCAP target. These three definitions have been combined below  RD completion is a
SCAP measure. All commitments are made on a combined Fund and PRP financed basis.
Separate Fund and PRP goals for RD starts are established pnor to the FY. Like the RI/FS
starts there is a limit on the number of Fund-financed RDs that can be started during the
FY. Projections for RD completions are set prior to the FY and are used for resource
allocation only.  RD completion projections are made on a combined first, subsequent, final
and all lead basis. RDs are planned on a site-specific basis and entered into CERCLIS.

       Initial schedules for RD are established when the RI/FS for the site is initiated
These initial schedules should be updated in CERCLIS as better planning data becomes
available.  The funds for program lead RDs are pulled directly from CERCLIS and are
allocated site-specifically in the RD Advice of Allowance


ACnVITY RD Starts -- First. Subsequent, and Final

      DEFINITION: An RD is the process of developing plans and specifications for the
      selected remedy. Design assistance or technical assistance do not constitute an RD
      start. Under certain circumstances, RD-type activities may be conducted using
      RI/FS  funds or pnor to the signature of a ROD (i e., treatability or pilot studies), an
      RD may be prepared by other parties (i e, water lines where the city already
      prepared plans and specifications), or the plans developed for one site may be used
      at a similar site.  Subsequent and final RD starts occur at NPL sites where previous
      RD activity has already taken place.

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

      Fund-financed (Includes F, S,SE and EP lead events.) The date of the RD
      obligation is considered the definition of accomplishment An obligation is made
      when the contracting officer signs the procurement request, a cooperative agreement
      is signed by die Regional Administrator or his designee or an IAG is signed by the
      other Federal Agency. In those instances where RI/FS funds are used to perform
      RD activities, or RD activities are conducted pnor to ROD signature, the start of RD
      is defined as the approval of the workplan to conduct these activities. When an RD
      already exists that can be used for the site, the RD start is defined the same as the
      RA start.

REMEDIAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

      PRP-financed (Includes MR, RP, and PS lead events) The date the RD contract is
      awarded by the PRPs for RD or RD/RA work or, for PS lead events, the date the
      state order for RD is signed or the date the state gives the PRPs notice to proceed
      with RD. The appropriate award date must be entered m CERCLIS. If PRPs are
      doing the work "in-house", the start date would be notice to proceed  Mixed
      funding projects (MR lead) are to be treated as PRP lead.

      CHANGES IN DEFINrnoN FY88-FY89- The definition for PRP-financed RD
      has changed from the date the consent decree was lodged.  Sites with MR or PS
      lead events have been added  Final RD starts is a new activity for FY89. The
      concepts of RD activities dunng Rl/FS and shared or using existing RDs were
      added to the definition.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS. Commitments are made based on
      combined Fund and PRP financed RD starts. Separate Fund and PRP financed RD
      start goals will be established pnor to the FY  A limit will be placed on the number
      of Fund-financed RDs that can be started dunng the FY.


ACTIVITY: RD Completions

      DEFiNmQN: An RD is complete when the plans and specifications and a RA  bid
      package for the selected remedy are developed

      DEFINrnQN OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

      Fund-financed For program lead RD projects, an RD completion is the date that
      EPA concurs on or approves and accepts the plans, specifications and RA bid
      package.

      PRP-financed An RD is complete on the date that EPA concurs on or approves and
      accepts the plans, specifications and RA bid package. For PS lead RDs, the RD is
      complete when the state concurs on or approves and accepts the plans,
      specifications and RA bid package.

      For Fund and PRP financed RDs,  the state should concur on the design pnor to
      EPA concurrence or approval

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS- Commitments are made based on
      combined Fund and PRP financed first, subsequent and final RD completions.

      REMEDIAL ACTION
      Regions must respond to the SCAP/SPMS targets by identifying RA projects on a
site-specific bash and associating planned obligations with these sites. Following are the
seven SCAP and SPMS activities tracked for RA:

             First RA Start;
             Subsequent RA Start;
             Final RA start;
             NPL Sites with RA Stan Post-SARA;
             RA Completions;
             Final RA Completion; and
             NPL Deletion Initiation.

      RAs are planned site-specifically and reported m CERCLIS  Funds are allocated
site specifically in the RA AOA Program specific commitments are made for RA starts.
Post-SARA RA starts, RA completions and deletions are targeted on a combined program
basis. RA completion, except final RA completion, is a SCAP measure and is used for
resource allocation purposes only

      In the definitions below, first, subsequent and final RA starts have been combined,
as have RA and final RA completion


ACTIVITY- RA Start -First. Subsequent, and Final

      DEFINITION.  A remedial action start is the initiation of construction activities of
      the selected remedy. A final RA start is the initiation of construction activities for
      the selected remedy at the final operable unit

      DEFINITION QF ACCOMPLISHMENT

      Fund-financed (F or S lead events) Credit for an RA start is given on the date a
      contract, IAG or cooperative agreement is awarded and funds are obligated.

      PRP-financed Credit for the RA start is given when EPA approves the RD design
      package. This includes sites where RD/RA activities were conducted under a
      unilateral Administrative Order, Consent Decree, 106 Judicial referral or State order
      (for PS lead sites).  If the RD was performed by the State or Fund and the PRP
      settles or complies with a unilateral Order for Remedial Action, the date that the
      Consent Decree is referred to HQ or DOJ or the unilateral AO issued for RA only
      constitutes an RA start The appropriate date must be included in CERCLIS

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89  The situations where the RD was
      performed by the fund or a unilateral AO issued were added to the definition

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS  Separate commitments are made for
      program vs. PRP-lead RAs. A limit will be placed on the number of Fund-financed
      RAs that can be started during the F In the case of a PRP takeover at a targeted
      site, a corresponding PRP target increase and Fund target decrease will occur
      automatically

REMEDIAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

ACTIVITY:  RA Starts Post-SARA at NPL Sites

       DEFINITION: A post-SARA RA start is defined as the initiation of on-site
       construction activities after October 16,1986.

       DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT:

       Fund-financed Sites where the EPA, State, USAGE or BUREC has awarded a
       contract - as recorded in CERCLIS -- to initiate Fund-financed construction
       activities.

       PRP-financed Sites, as recorded in CERCLIS, where the PRPs have awarded a
       contract for RA work.  In the event that the PRPs are responding under a State
       order or issued a contract for both RD and RA or are performing the work "in-
       house", the start date is the RA notice to proceed which is equivalent to an EPA
       contract award.

       CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89- New activity for FY89

       SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS  Commitments are made based on
       combined Fund and PRP financed actions.


ACTIVITY.  RA Completion — First. Subsequent and Final

       DEFINITION A first and subsequent RA is complete when construction activities
       are complete, a final inspection has been conducted and an Operable Unit RA
       Report has been prepared for the operable unit. A final RA indicates that all
       construction for all operable units has been completed, and a final construction
       inspection for the site has been conducted. For the final RA, a Superfund Site
       Close-Out Report must be prepared which summarizes the site condition and
       construction activities and demonstrates the NCP criteria for deletion has been met
       or that the only activity remaining is performance monitoring (long term response).

       DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT  The date the Regional Administrator
       signs an Operable Unit RA Report is the accomplishment of the RA completion; a
       Site Close-Out Report for the final operable unit is required for the final RA
       completion. The date the interim or final Superfund Close-Out Report is singed is
       considered the date of the fianl completion. The appropriate dates must be recorded
       in CERCLIS.  .

       CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89. In FY89 the concepts of an Operable
       Unit RA Report and a Site Close-Out Report have been added to the definition of
       accomplishment The criteria for completion m FY89 is either the NCP deletion
       criteria or the only activity remaining is performance monitoring (long term
       response).

       SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS: Projections are made on a combined

REMOVAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

      INTRODUCTION

      Requirements for the'removal program differ from the remedial program due to the
nature of removal activities. The removal program responds to emergency, time-critical
and non-time-critical situations at NPL and non-NPL sues  Since so much of the removal
work cannot be anticipated in advance, the planning horizon of these activities is
significantly shorter than for remedial activities  Thus, quarterly commitments are not
required. All SCAP/SPMS targets, however, are established on an annual basis. Targets
are planned site-specifically poor to the quarter the removal is projected to begin  Sue
specific removal funding needs are requested in CERCLIS and a removal contingency is
requested in CERHELP the quarter pnor to the expected obligation date. The annual
removal commitments are placed in the Targets and Accomplishments portion of the
CERHELP non-site data system. The removal program definitions have been divided into
NPL and non-NPL sites. Credit will be given for NPL or non-NPL activities depending
on the NPL status recorded in CERCLIS on the date accomplishment reports are pulled

      NPL SITES

      There are four NPL site removal activities tracked in SCAP and SPMS'
             First NPL Removal Starts;
             Subsequent NPL Removal Starts,
             Removal Completions at NPL Sites; and
             Removal Completions at NPL Sues that Lead to Deletion.
      First and subsequent NPL removal starts are SPMS targets. Removal completions
at NPL sites is a SPMS reporting measure and a SCAP target and removal completions that
lead to deletion are SPMS reporting measures.

      First and subsequent NPL removal start definitions have been combined.

REMOVAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

ACTIVITY: Removal Starts at NPL Sites — First and Subsequent

      DEFINITION! A removal is a response action taken to prevent or mitigate a threat
      to public health, welfare or the environment posed by the release or potential release
      of a CERCLA hazardous substance, or an imminent or substantial nskposed by a
      pollutant or contaminant. The site must be on the proposed or final NFL prior to or
      at any time during die conduct of the removal action in order for the region to
      receive credit for a NPL start In addition,  for the first removal starts, no prior
      removal activity under the direction of EPA or through an Administrative Order,
      Consent Decree or judgement was conducted.

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT:

      Fund-financed A Fund removal counts when 1) The action memo has been
      approved by the OSC, RA or AA, 2) A contract has been signed for an EPA or
      USCG on-site removal; 3) An obligation for the removal has been recorded in FMS
      and CERCLIS or when the OSC activates $50K; and 4) On-site removal work has
      begun.

      PRP-financed A PRP removal counts when there is on-site removal activity
      financed by the PRP in compliance with an  administrative order (unilateral or
      consent) or judgement. The date the PRPs begin actual on-site work (as entered in
      CERCLIS) is the start date. Credit will be withdrawn where a PRP is in substantial
      noncompliance with an unilateral order.

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88.FY89: The NPL criteria has been changed.
      Expedited Response Actions are pot included in the target.  The PRP definition was
      changed to focus on on-site work.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS: Commitments are made site
      specifically prior to the quarter the removal  is expected to begin; "to be determined"
      sites are allowed. Annual targets for removals are established in the Targets and
      Accomplishments portion of CERHELP data base. Commitments are made based
      on a combined Fund and PRP financed removals. Separate Fund and PRP
      financed removal goals are established prior to the FY  A limit will be placed on the
      number of Fund financed removals that can be started during the FY. Regions may
      only exceed this limit with HQ approval.

REMOVAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

ACTIVITY: Removal Completions at NPL Sites

      DEFINrnQNi The definition for removal completion is when the conditions
      specified in the Action Memorandum have been met even if the OSC determines that
      additional response work may be necessary.

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT;

      Fund-financed Completions are counted on the day the clean up contractors) has
      demobilized and left the site.

      PRP-financed Completions will count when the Region has certified, by entering a
      date in CERCLIS, that the potentially responsible parties have completed a removal
      action and fully met die terms of an Administrative Order, Consent Decree or
      judgement

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89. First and subsequent NPL removal
      completions are included in the target.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS. Measures are reported based on
      combined Fund and PRP-financed and first and subsequent NPL removal
      completions.  Projections on the number of NPL removal completions are placed in
      the Targets and Accomplishments portion of the CERHELP non-site data system.
      NPL removal completions is a SPMS reporting measure and a SCAP target.


ACTIVITY: Removal Completions at NPL Sites that lead to Delenofl

      DEFINITION,: A site is ready for deletion when the conditions specified in the
      Action Memorandum or Record of Decision have been met and no further remedial
      or removal response actions are necessary

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT.

      Fund-financed A site is completed and ready for deletion when the OSC
      demobilizes the clean up contractor and conditions specified in die Action
      Memorandum have been met Credit is given when a notice of intent to delete the
      site is published in the Federal Register.

      PRP-financed A site is completed and ready for deletion when the PRP has
      completed the removal action under the terms of an Administrative Order (Unilateral
      or Consent), Consent Decree or judgment, and the date has been entered into
      CERCLIS. Credit is given when a notice of intent to delete the site is published in
      the Federal Register.

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89: New measure for FY89.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS: Measures are reported on combined
      Fund and PRP lead removals that lead to deletions.

REMOVAL PROGRAM DEFINITIONS

      NON-NPL  SITES

      There are two non-NPL removal activities tracked in SCAP. Each of these
      activities are annual SCAP targets and planned site-specifically prior to the quarter.
      They are reported on a combined program lead in the CERCLIS site-specific data
      system.

      •     Non-NPL Removal Start; and
      •     Non-NPL Removal Completion.


ACTIVITY: Non-NPL Removal Starts

      DEFINITION:  A removal is a response action taken to prevent or mitigate a threat
      to public health, welfare or the environment posed by the release or potential release
      of a CERCLA hazardous substance, or an imminent or substantial nsk posed by a
      pollutant or contaminant The site must not be on the NPL dunng the conduct of
      the removal action in order to be included in the non-NPL target The non-NPL
      stan commitment will be reduced if the site is proposed for the NPL dunng the
      conduct of the removal action and the region does not have a site available for
      substitution.

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT- Same as NPL removal starts

ENFORCEMENT  DEFINITIONS

      rNTRODUCTION

      The planning requirements for enforcement response activities parallels those used
under the remedial and removal programs.  These program requirements are discussed in
the previous sections. In addition, there are enforcement specific targets/measures.
Funding for the enforcement targets/measures are provided through the Case Budget.
Enforcement definitions have been divided into two categories: PRP Searches and
Negotiations, and Settlements and Referrals.

      PRP SEARCHES  AND NEGOTIATIONS

      Following are die search and negotiation activities tracked in SCAP and SPMS:

             Start of PRP Search at Non-NPL Sites;
             Start of PRP Search at NPL Sites;
             Completion of PRP Search at NPL Sites,
             Completion of PRP Search at Non-NPL Sites;
             Start of RI/FS Negotiations;
             Conclusion of RwS Negotiations;
             Start of RD/RA Negotiations; and
             Conclusion of RD/RA Negotiations.

      The definitions for start of PRP search at NPL and non-NPL sites and the
      completion of PRP search at NPL and non-NPL sites have been combined.


AdTVTTY: PRP Search

      DEFTNTnON: The purpose of the PRP search is to identify PRPs at either NPL or
      non-NPL sites. At NPL sites it should be initiated with the listing of the site and it
      should be completed in time to send general notice which should be approximately
      two months before the special notice date and at least 90 days prior to the obligation
      of funds for a RI/FS. At non-NPL sites it should be done prior to the start of the
      removal action when possible or very soon after the initiation of the emergency
      response.

      DEFINITION OF ACCOMPI^jjgHMENJ-  If the search is being conducted by a
      contractor, die start date is considered to be the date the work assignment is
      procured.  If it is conducted by EPA, the start date is the day the EPA staff begins
      the PRP search activities.

      CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY8Q-! New activity for FY89.

      SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS!  Non-NPL PRP searches are not
      planned on a site-specific basis. Funds for non-NPL PRP searches are requested in
      the CERHELP Non-Site/Incident data system. PRP searches should be planned for
      all sites listed on the NPL and for all removals conducted during die fiscal year.

 ACTIVITY. Completed PRP Search

       DEFINITION: A PRP search is the action taken by the region to identify the
       responsible parties at a NPL or non-NPL site.

       DEHNmON OF ACCOMPLISHMENT: The PRP search is complete when 1)
       The region has gathered information required by the program guidance including
       information on generators and necessary information on financial viability, and has
       sufficient information to mail special notice letters (names and addresses of PRPs,
       volume and nature of substances contributed by each PRP; volumetric ranking)
       and, at NPL sites, the classification of the site has been determined or 2) If no
       PRPs are found, and the date and the outcome of the search are entered into
       CERCLIS

       CHANGES IN DEFINITION FY88-FY89-

       SPECIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS  NPL PRP searches are planned on a
       site specific basis, non-NPL searches should be planned site-specifically to the
       maximum extent possible  Projections on the number of NPL PRP searches to be
       conducted during the year are placed in the Targets and Accomplishments portion of
       the CERHELP non-site data base  All targeted non-NPL removal starts should
       have an associated projection for a non-NPL PRP search These projections should
       be placed in the Targets and Accomplishments portion of the CERHELP non-site
       data system. Funds for non-NPL PRP searches are requested in the CERHELP
       data system.

               SCAP TARGET  CERCLIS  SELECT LOGIC
       This appendix contains flow chart representations of the CERCLIS select logic used to
generate the FY89 SCAP/SPMS Targets and Accomplishments Site Summary Report. The
diagrams depict both planned and actual accomplishments. Select logic for SCAP/SPMS
reporting and projection measures is not included

       The flow charts of select logic outline the process by which a site event/activity record is
selected to appear on the site summary report If site data do not appear correctly on the site summary
report it is likely that data on which the record is selected are missing. In order to ensure accurate
reporting on the site summary report, the select logic for the specific events should be consulted.
