Introduction
Environmental Indicators are measures of environmental resource quality. They are useful to
show the present condition of a resource, the end goal for the quality of that resource, and
the changing condition of that resource over time. Well-designed indicators also provide a
useful framework for results-oriented environmental planning and management. Environ-
mental Indicators are generally categorized as problem-based, program-based, or both.
Problem-based indicators describe the nature and extent of environmental problems, while
program-based indicators measure program efforts toward addressing these problems and
achieving estabh shed goals.
In 1989, EPA’s Deputy Administrator directed all EPA programs, including Superfund, to
develop Environmental Indicators of program progress. The Office of Emergency and
Remedial Response (OERR) determined that simply stating the number of sites deleted from
the NPL did not adequately communicate the substantial site cleanup progress the Regions
were making toward reducing adverse effects to human health and the environment. There-
fore, three program-based indicators were developed to document and communicate incre-
mental environmental progress towards cleaning up hazardous waste sites. Superfund’s
Environmental Indicators are designed to communicate that the true measure of the program’s
success is tangible progress in protecting human health and the environment through incremen-
tal site cleanup activities.
The Environmental Indicators Reference Manual is intended to provide Superfund
personnel with basic information needed for entering, extracting arid using Environ-
mental Indicator data from WasteLAN for setting priorities and goals, monitoring the
results of cleanup actions, and communicating incremental progress to stakeholders.
Before describing in detail the process for viewing and entering information on sites,
this introduction provides you with an overview of the Superfund Environmental
Indicators project. Information in this section includes:
• Answers to basic questions regarding Environmental Indicators, including:
V WHAT are the indicators of environmental progress?
V WHY is this progress information being reported?
V HOW does the data you report support each of the Environmental Indicators 7
V WHEN must you report environmental progress information?
• How you can prepare for Environmental Indicators reporting.
• How reporting on the administrative status of removal and remedial actions
supports Environmental Indicators.

The What, Why, How, and When of
Superfund Environmental Indicators
What are Superfund’s Environmental Indicators?
Superfund’s Environmental Indicators initiative is comprised of three implemented
sets of measures and three additional measures that are currently being developed.
Together, these six indicators will effectively convey the magnitude of hazardous
wastes currently being remediated and the effect that removal and remedial responses
have had on protecting human health and the environment. Current Environmental
Indicators are:
• INDICATOR A: Population Protected, the degree to which immediate threats
to human health and the environment have been reduced at NPL and non-NPL
sites. This includes emergency actions and provisions for alternate water or
relocation.
• INDICATOR B: Goal Attainment, the incremental progress that has been
achieved toward meeting permanent cleanup goals for each contaminated me-
dium (land, surface water, and groundwater) at NPL sites.
• INDICATOR C: Cleanup Technologies Applied, the amount of contaminated
materials that have been treated, stabilized, or disposed of at NPL and non-NPL
sites by utilizing risk management technologies, engineenng techniques, and
institutional controls.
Indicators that are currently under development or in the pilot phase include:
• INDICATOR D: Reducing Risk to Human Populations, a set of measures of
progress made toward reducing human health risk and protecting populations
around sites through Superfund cleanup actions.
• INDICATOR E: Protecting Ecological Resources, a set of measures of
progress made toward protecting ecological resources, considering impacted
species and habitats, and ecological risk management practices employed.
• INDICATOR L: Land Returned to Use, the acreage of remediated land
available for productive use, the acreage that will soon be available, and the
types of current and future land use to which the acreage was returned.
2 Section 1
ApnI 1999

El Reference Manual
Information generated to support Environmental Indicators comes directly from the results
of cleanup activities at Removal Actions (both at NPL and non-NPL sites), and during the
course of Remedial Actions. These activities provide the data that constitute the universe of
incremental progress made at Superfund sites. “Incremental progress” has a very strict
definition. It is not enough that money was obligated to start a cleanup action, or that a
contract was awarded to perform the cleanup, or even that a cleanup technology—such as
an incinerator or groundwater pump-and-treat system - is being built. Actual cleanup
activities must have occuffed at the site (e.g., incineration of the contaminated soil or
treatment of the contaminated groundwater) before any degree of environmental progress
can be reported.
Why Collect and Report Environmental Progress Information?
Generally, Environmental Indicators are used either in a decision-making context or
as a public outreach and education tool. OERR has used Environmental Indicator
data in various products from Congressional testimony for Superfund Reauthoriza-
tion, to Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) reporting, to budget
requests from the Chief Financial Officer to the Environmental Indicators Bulletin
series produced in partnership with the Office of Policy. The Agency consistently
requests Environmental Indicators data because of its effectiveness in:
• Showing trends in human activities that have impacted the state of the
environment;
• Showing trends in changes in the state of the environment;
• Establishing relationships among environmental variables, such as
the nature and extent of hazardous wastes and various media;
• Measuring and communicating environmental achievement and progress
towards a goal;
• Assisting in strategic planning and budget decisions; and
• Communicating Superfund messages, themes and success stories clearly
and succinctly.
As GPRA continues the trend toward reporting performance measures for environ-
mental programs, it is crucial that EPA programs continue to provide the data that
constitute these reports, and Superfund is no exception. Past criticism of Superfund
has focused on the relatively few number of Sites having been fully remediated and
deleted from the National Prionties List. This has provided a perception that little
Section 1 3
April 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
progress has been made toward the clean up of the nation’s hazardous waste sites over the
score of years since Superfund was first authonzed. However, measunng success of the
Superfund program in the number of sites removed from the NFL neglects the incremental
progress made toward safeguarding public health and the environment that occurs during
site clean up.
For this reason, EPA Headquarters began collecting “Environmental Indicators”
information from the Regions in 1989 to meaningfully communicate the continuous
reduction of risks to human health and the environment achieved by the Superfund
program through ongoing Removal activities and long-term Remedial Actions. These
Environmental Indicators of progress were recorded and analyzed using an intenm
database maintained at Headquarters. Results from these analyses were published in
the first annual report on environmental progress made at hazardous waste sites -
Supeifirnd: Reporting on Environmental Progress (November 1990). The report
covered the environmental progress made by the program since its inception in 1980
through 1989. Since then, environmental progress reports have been published
annually.
Since FY 1992, Regions have been responsible for recording environmental progress
information directly in WasteLAN to make data collection more efficient and timely,
and to standardize future reporting cycles. Many Environmental Indicator data points
have been incorporated into the Superfund Comprehensive Accomplishment Plan
(SCAP). For further information, please see Reporting Requirements for Environ-
mental Indicators in Appendix B of the Superfund /Oil Program Implementation
Manual Fiscal Year 1999/2000 (Publication 9200.3-141E, July 1, 1998).
H How Does Environmental Indicator Data Benefit the Regions?
As the Superfund program shifts toward a paradigm in which environmental progress
is measured in terms of human health and ecological nsk reduction, Environmental
Indicators will be integrated more closely with budgetary targets and measures for
future reporting. It is anticipated that these data will become even more important for
the Regions for:
• Publishing various site specific fact sheets in hard copy and on the EPA
Superfund web site.
• Reporting environmental progress to members of Congress requesting specific
information about sites in their district.
4 Section 1
ApnI 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
• Justifying programmatic expenses and factoring indicator data into cost-benefit analy-
ses which impact programmatic expenditures (e.g., society’s willingness to pay for
reductions in health risks equation). Also, these data support future needs models
such as the Outyear and Liability Model (OLM).
• Supporting ongoing studies that estimate the impact of various no-action scenarios in
both the removal and remedial program. Data also support decision-making processes
such as ROD reevaluations.
• Supporting SCAP budgetary negotiations that ensure the Regions receive allocations
representative of site work accomplished and upcoming work planned.
• Validating Regional decision-making in IC or GAO audits. As an example of the high
level of scrutiny Superfund is under, GAO has published over 200 reports, testimoni-
als, or letters about Superfund—more than all other environmental programs com-
bined.
How Does Site-Specific Data Support Each Environmental Indicator?
First, look at the flow chart on the next page (Exhibit 1) to visualize the linkages
among the different Environmental Indicator information categories. Understanding
these data relationships provides the foundation for describing how the data you
report support each of the indicators of environmental progress.
The Site is the basic reporting unit for environmental progress.
Actions differentiate between short-term removals and longer-term remedial actions.
The Media information category documents the amount of contaminated materials
addressed.
Cleanup Goal describes the degree to which cleanup goals have been attained for
each contaminated medium at the site and contributes to Indicators A, B, and C.
Response Technology documents the waste management methods used to address the
volumes of contaminated materials handled and contributes to Indicators A, B, and C
(Response Technologies were referred to as remedies in the older character-based
version).
Affected Population (Receptors) indicates the number and type of people provided
alternate water sources, relocated, or protected from contamination through site
security measures.
Section 1 5
ApnI 1999

El Reference Manual
No single information category is exclusive to reporting any one indicator. The components
of each indicator are shown as boxes, illustrating such components as the number of sites
with alternate dnnking water. In fact, you should think about each of these categories as
building blocks that, when combined, construct each of the three indicators. Following
Exhibit 1 on the next page, Exhibit 2 shows how the data you are reporting support the
indicators. Detailed descnptions on analyzing and reporting the specific data elements of the
three current indicators appear in the sections followmg this introduction.

New or updated Environmental Indicator information should be reported quarterly or upon reach-
ing major milestones in site cleanup. Each quarter, information should be reported on sites where
removal or remedial actions are complete, mcluding information for all Fund, Federal facility and
PRP lead removal actions, initial remedial measures, and all Fund, Federal facility and PRP lead
remedial actions. At the end or beginning of each year, Environmental Indicator information should
be updated for ongoing remedial actions. You may choose to report on ongoing removals, but
reporting on removals is only expected when they are completed. Please see Section 3 for more
detailed instructions on data entiy. Examples of updated Environmental Indicator data are provided
in Section 4 of this document.
Preparing For Environmental Indicators Reporting
Certain data gathering activities will help you report Environmental Indicator infor-
mation. Over the past year, OERR has made a concerted effort to respond to Regional
requests and suggestions for assistance in Environmental Indicators reporting. Cur-
rently, the following tools are available in WasteLAN to assist data entry and viewing:
V PGMT-08 Data Audit Report: This audit report allows Superfund personnel to
review the Environmental Indicator data for inconsistencies or missing data. It
shows the started remedial actions or completed removals that do not have any
environmental progress reported. You should flag any discrepancies, such as
goal attainment, that are inconsistent with technologies employed or population
protection technology entered with no population number.
if PGMT-09 Data Compilation Detail Report: You should review the Environ-
mental Indicators report “PGMT-09 Data Compilation Detail” for each NPL and
non-NPL site where a Removal Action or a Remedial Action was completed, or
where a Remedial Action has started or is currently underway. This is your
universe of Environmental Indicator sites.
This report shows the most recent information entered into WasteLAN. Review
the start and completion dates and existing Environmental Indicator information
on this report for each site for which you are responsible, and determine what
information updates need to be made.
Review timeline data for accuracy and don’t forget to note whether changes have
been made in a site’s start or completion dates since the last time Environmental
Indicator information was reported. Any changes - including the creation of new
or restructured operable units or events should be addressed by making the
appropriate updates to Environmental Indicator information.

V PGMT-1O Site ilirnaround Report: This report can be used to record updated
progress information. Use the report “PGMT-l0 Site Turnaround Report” to
mark up current progress information (even f no Environmental Indicator
information has been recorded). Either update directly through WasteLAN, or mark
up cun ent progress information on the PGM1’- 10. This form can be used to include
any corrections noted on the PGMT-08 repoif;’as well as any new information culled
from Site reporting documents. Progress information comes from pollution reports,
contractor progress reports, sampling reports, field logs, telephone logs, closeout
reports, and other site reporting documents. The report is intended to serve as a
simple data entry guide for RPMs and OSCs, or can be passed on to WasteLAN data
entry personnel. It also can serve as an effective quality assurance record for checking
that the data was entered accurately in the system.
Reporting Requirements
Indicator A: Population Protected (Receptors)
What information am I responsible for reporting?
• The actions that have been taken to protect people from immediate threats posed
by hazardous materials.
Report population protected information if.
• An alternate source of drinking water was provided,
• Population was relocated, or
• Site access was restricted.
Actions Taken
Use the following data to report population protected actions:
If alternate drinking water was provided, report whether it was:
• Permanent Replacement,
• Temporary Replacement, or
10 Section 1
ApnI 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
• Water supply reinstated.
if population was relocated then indicate whether it was:
• Permanent relocation,
• Temporary relocation, or
• Population returnecL
If site access was restricted, then indicate whether it was:
• Access Restriction, Fencing,
• Access Restriction, Guards, or
• Access Restriction (other).
Designate as many actions as necessary to characterize how people were protected
from immediate threats posed by hazardous materials. Please do not use N.O.S. technol-
ogy.
An Important Note...
Population relocation can be stored under any medium, but please select the key
medium to avoid over-counting. The key medium is the medium that most contributes to the
threat. For example, 30 people may have been temporarily relocated from a Site with
contaminated liquid waste on soil that contaminated the groundwater. Potentially, you could
enter that 30 people were temporarily relocated because of the liquid waste, 30 people
were temporarily relocated because of contaminated soil, and 30 people were temporarily
relocated because of contaminated groundwater. Thus, population relocation results would
then total 90 people temporarily relocated from the site, obviously triple counting. The
solution is to assign the 30 people to the medium that contributed most to the decision to
relocate people. For instance, determine if the instability of the liquid wastes or the fugitive
dust from proposed soil excavation or the lack of a practical alternate water supply source
most influenced the relocation decision. Then assign the 30 relocated people to that me-
dium. Also, if people were temporarily relocated or supplied with water, and later were
either returned to their homes or had their water supply reinstated or permanently replaced,
you should assign the 30 people to the temporarily relocated or supplied record, but also
enter a returned or reinstated record with no population assigned, again to avoid double
counting.
Section 1 11
ApnI 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
Receptor Type (Type of Population Protected)
For alternate drinking water or populaiton relocation, report the population type that was
protected from the contaminated material (See page 11-12 of Section 3 for a formal
descnption of these receptor types)(Please note: Although many receptor types are avail-
able through the drop down list, you should only select from among these three receptor
types:
• Residential population
• Industnal population
• Commercial population
Receptor Population (Number of People Protected)
You must report the number of people who were provided with an alternate water
supply or relocated. If the population in your records is in number of homes or resi-
dences, use Census statistics (go to http://www.census.gov/) for county-level data on
average number of people per household and multiply by the number of households to
obtain a good estimate of the number of people protected. For a quick estimate, the
1990 US Census estimates that there were an average of 2.75 people per owner-
occupied household and 2.42 people per renter-occupied household. Finally, please
round to the nearest whole number, as there are no fractions of people. Do not report the
number of people protected by site security measures, because everyone is protected by
site secunty. Whereas, there is a specific number of people that receive alternate water or
are relocated.
Indicator B: Goal Attainment
What information am I responsible for reporting?
• Report the level of progress that has been made toward achieving cleanup goals for
each contaminated medium reported.
• Consider all completed removal and remedial actions where work has actually begun
when making this decision.
• Consider all signed Records of Decision (RODs) or action memos when making this
decision.
12 Section 1 _________________________
ApnI 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
The goals you report here are site-wide media goals, not overall site goals. Therefore,
media goals are often linked to more than one operable unit or event. You can determine
the goals established for each contaminated medium at the site by reviewing decision
documents, RODs and action memos. You may find that the goals for a medium are
distributed across several decision documents.
Goal Attainment
Report goal achievement by medium. Three categories or levels of goals achievement are
possible:
• aeanup Underway
• Partially Achieved
• Fully Achieved
The decision you make on goal attainment requires the use of your best professional judg-
ment. While the other Environmental Indicators information you report is quantitative, here
you are being asked to assess cleanup progress in terms of the extent to which cleanup
goals for each contaminated medium have been attained. To report “cleanup under-
way,” actual environmental progress must have occurred (e.g., building the incinerator does
not count; incinerating the contaminated soil does). To report “partially achieved,” a rea-
sonable determination that one or more of the cleanup goals described in an official decision
document for that medium must have been achieved. “Fully achieved” goals for a medium
are just that—lOO% of the cleanup of that medium has occurred and no further action is
necessaiy.
If no progress has been made in achieving medium cleanup goals, report the following:
• Cleanup Has Not Begun, or Medium Affected
While the level of goal attainment for a site is reported at the media level, a number
of Regional staff probably will be responsible for reporting environmental progress mforma-
lion for a specific medium. OSCs will report on the progress made during Removals, and
RPMs will report on progress made dunng Remedial Actions. Combined, each of these.
actions will have a bearing on the goal decision. Therefore, an important role of the Re-
gional Environmental Indicators Coordinator is to review the progress data submitted by
each OSC and RPM and the applicable action memo(s) and ROD(s) to make a coordi-
nated decision as to the level of goal achievement to report for a medium.
Section 1 13
ApnI 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
Goal Achievement Evaluation Guidelines
To report that the goals of fully achieved, partially achieved, or cleanup underway
have been met for a specific contaminated medium, certain distinctions must be considered.
Cleanup goals are generally established in the action memos and RODs as the final cleanup
goals for the site, or for a particular component of a medium at the site. Because progress
is often made in stages, as parts of the site are cleaned up, Environmental Indicators provide
the means for making distinctions among the following three levels of progress:
1. Fully Achieved site goals for a medium.
All goals established for a cleanup of an affected medium must have been attained
in order to report “Fully Achieved.” In other words, all goals for the medium have
attained dates. When a Removal or Remedial Action is completed, all goals may be
achieved for a medium. When a site is partially deleted, all goals may be achieved for a
medium. When construction is completed, all goals for all media may be fully achieved,
with the possible exception of groundwater.
2. Partially Achieved site goals for a medium.
This is the most difficult decision to make. To claim partial progress, one of two
things must have occurred:
• A Remedial Action or Removal is complete and goals for that event have been
achieved through a final action such that the material will not be handled again
in the future or, at a minimum, a Remedial or a Removal event must have re-
sulted in a final cleanup of a distinct area of contamination (i.e., lagoon or waste
pile); or
• A Remedial Action is underway, and a “final” waste management action has
been completed to achieve one goal (of multiple goals) contained in the action
memo or ROD for cleanup of an affected medium. At least one goal for the medium
has an attained date.
In either case, the nature of the completed activity must be such that it is clear that the
waste no longer needs to be dealt with (i.e., removal of waste from the site or permanent
treatment). At least one goal for the medium has an attained date.
Partial progress often may be claimed for cleaning up the soil medium. However,
groundwater cleanup would rarely be reported as partially achieved. Such a rare case
would be possible if there were two aquifers contaminated at the site, and the cleanup
goals for one but not the other have been completely met.
1 4 Section 1
April 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
3. Cleanup Underway
This is the case when contaminated materials associated with a medium actually
have been “handled” at a site, but work has not gone far enough to claim either full
or partial achievement of medium cleanup goals. No goal for the medium has a goal
attained date.
Ongoing Remedial Actions may be reported as “Cleanup Underway” if environmental
progress has begun but no goals have been achieved Groundwater pumping and
treatment, soil incineration, or bioremediation actions are common examples of cleanups
that are underway.
Removal actions can lead to full or partial achievement of site goals if the removal is
the final action that will address the medium or an area of contarrunation (i e., no further
action will be taken to address that particular waste problem).
Goal Attained Date
Record the latest date by which the goal for a material was attained. You may have more
than one goal for a material.
Note: The date can only be left blank if there was no volume recorded for materials, as
would be the case when containment technologies such as capping are use.
Basis For Goal
Determine whether the goal has a human health, ecological, or both basis for its purpose.
Indicator C: Cleanup Technology Applied
What information am I responsible for reporting?
• The media addressed by a removal or remedial action.
• The waste management methods or technologies used to clean up media at a site.
• The quantity of contaminated media addressed by each removal or remedial
action reported in WasteLAN.
• The date that the quantity of contaminated media was addressed.
_____________________________________________ Section 1 1 5

El Reference Manual
Therefore, a medium could be composed of one or more materials addressed by separate
actions Each material could represent a separate amount, and each material may have one
or more goals and one or more technologies. You can name each material to assist in data
entxy and reporting.
Media Information
Media information should carry over from other areas in WasteLAN, such as Remedy
Selection or SCAP-Selected Remedy Screens. However, if no media data have been
entered in any other area, then the following instructions should be followed. Use the
following descriptions to guide you in reporting the types of contaminated media that
have been addressed.
Air: Gases from processes such as landfills or thermal treatment
• Debris: Large solid waste, such as machinery, buildings, and tanks
• Groundwater: Water in the ground, both shallow and deep
• Leachate: Rainwater, surface water, or groundwater filtered through a landfill
• Liquid waste: Waste such as acid contained in tanks, drums, lagoons, or ponds
• Residuals: Waste remaining after treatment such as incineration
• Sediment: Solids settled out of surface water or dredge soil
• Sludge: Solids settled out of a liquid, for example following wastewater treatment
I Soil: Either surface (down to 2 feet below the surface) or subsurface (deeper than 2
feet) soil
• Solid waste: Discarded material such as garbage, refuse, tars, and contained
gaseous materials but excluding for WasteLAN debris, liquid water, and sludge
• Surface water: Water open to the air, such as wetlands, lakes, streams, ponds,
and overland surface flow.
Technologies
A range of on-and off-site containment and treatment technologies are available to you for
recording the full range of waste management methods used to clean up contaminated site

media. Technologies are used to report the risk management, engineering methods, and
institutional controls applied to contaminated materials dunng removal or remedial events. If
you are reporting your technology information directly on the data entry screen, these
technology selections appear in a “Pop-up” window. The table shows technologies that can
be applied to each medium For example, Biological Treatment (Ex-Situ) can be applied to
ground water but not to soil. You should record all technologies that have been used to
address a specific contaminated medium.
Note: Some technologies are not applied to certain media and are not available in the
drop-down technology list for that medium. Please contact your Environmental
Indicators Coordinator or IMC if a technology should be added to the list.
Amounts
Record the amount or volume of contaminated media that has been addressed. This
volume information MUST be recorded in cumulative totals. For example, if 200
cubic yards (cuyd) of solid waste were reported as previously treated, and an additional
100 cuyd are currently being reported, change the amount to a total of 300 cuyd.
Record amounts as either:
• GALLONS (gals) for liquid wastes, surface water, and groundwater
• GALLONS PER MINUTE (gpm) for continuously pumped liquid wastes, surface
water, and groundwater
• CUBIC YARDS (cuyd) for soil, solid waste, and sediment

The purpose of the data viewing section is to provide the methods used to view
current Environmental Indicator (El) data in WasteLAN. This data will serve as an
effective tool to help the Regions monitor their cleanup progress, support their
Government Peiformance Results Act (GPRA) reporting, and construct accurate fact
sheets. Covered in this section is the step-by-step process to view the data reported in
the following Indicators:
Indicator A: Populations Protected—The degree to which immediate threats to
human health and the environment have been reduced at National Pnorities List
(NPL) and non-NPL sites.
Indicator B: Goal Attainment—The degree to which progress has been made
toward meeting permanent cleanup goals for each contaminated medium (land,
surface water, groundwater, etc.).
Indicator C: Cleanup Technologies Applied—The amount of contaminated
matenals that have been treated, stabilized, or disposed of at NPL and non-NPL sites
by implementing containment and treatment technologies.

F. Viewing Entire Site Detail: PGMT-09 Report
The PGMT-09 is the “El Data Compilation Report” that breaks down the data of each
indicator by their components.
After entering the Site into WasteLAN, this report can be generated by clicking on the
“Reports” icon on any of the screens displayed in Sections B through E After the
“Reports Library” screen is displayed, select “Program Management” in the “Program
Area” filter. This will display the list of reports associated with “Program

among the following report filters:
• Selection—NPL, non-NPL, or both;
• Location—national, Regional or site;
• Report Type—Summary/Detail, or just Detail.
After selecting the desired filters, click ‘Run’ to begin the report. An example
PGMT-09 report is provided below for the same example used in Section 4.
Let’s say that, as an RPM, you are interested in a paint factory in Vermont that went
out of business years ago. The factory left behind the paint production waste from its
days of operation. The site is approximately 50 acres with a wetlands area next to it.
Waste from the paint plant was dumped into a large sludge pit on the edge of the site.
An equipment wash area was centrally located at the site. The run-off water was
deposited into the wetland at the edge of the site. There is an aquifer to the south of
the site from which several private wells provide drinking water for nearby residents.
Since you are interested in viewing what technologies were used at the site, the
volumes treated, and the goal attainment status for each medium, you decide to run a
PGMT-09 report with the following “Report Option” filters:
• NPL,
• Site—Matterhorn Saddle Site; and
• Detail.
As you can see in the Section 4 Case Study, the report provides a good compilation of
all the El data that is associated with the site’s Removal and Remedial Actions.

C. Entering or Deleting Media Goal Data
Step 1. On the “Add/Edit Environmental Indicator ” screen, highlight the medium for which
you would like to enter goal attainment data. If the correct medium is not included
in the list, then enter a new medium according to the steps under Section B above.
Step 2. Select the “Goal” button in the “Media” box to access the “Add/Edit Cleanup
Goal” screen.
Step 3. Verify that the action and media displayed are the correct actions needing goal
data.
Step 4. Select the goal attainment status. Goals will come from RODs and Action
Memos; they are tied to medium not the OU. You should base your selection
of goal attainment on whether or not cleanup goals for that medium, as
specified in the action memos and RODs, have been met. The following
definitions relate to the goals specified in the ROD for the site:
• Medium Not Involved—The medium does not require any remedial
action in the action memo or ROD.
• Medium Affected—The medium is contaminated but no goals for that
medium, as specified in the action memo or ROD, have been achieved
and no remedial action to clean up the medium has yet begun.
• Cleanup Underway—No goals for that medium, as specified in the action
memo or ROD, have been achieved, but cleanup actions are underway.
• Partially Achieved—At least one of the goals for that medium has been
met. Further action is necessary to reach the other goals.
• Fully Achieved—All goals for the medium have been met.
Step 5. Select Goal Focus. The human health/ecological risk focus should be based
on whether the cleanup goal is dnven by human-health-risk-based decisions
or ecological-nsk-based decisions. If the goal is driven by both, then select “both”
as the focus.
Step 6. If goal was attained, then enter that thte in the Attain Date column.

WasteLAN takes the highest level of goal attainment across all goals for a medium at
the site. It then applies it to all goal records for the medium. In addition, if a goal has
a date, the trigger checks to see if the rest of the goals for the medium have a date. If all
goals have a date, the medium is assigned full goal attainment. If some goals have a date
and some do not, then the medium is assigned partially achieved. This trigger is enabled
across all goals reported for each medium.

contributed to the relocation or alternate water supply decision.
Step 3. Scroll right under “Selected Response Actions” for “Alternate Drinking
Water” or “Population Relocation” response actions.
Step 4. Click on the “Receptors” drop down list to select either commercial,
residential, or industrial types.
When a response action of “Population Relocation” or”AlternateDnnking Water” is
chosen, the appropriate receptor must also be chosen from the receptor drop-down
list. These are the 11 receptors provided in the drop-down list
• Agricultural (industrial)
• Agricultural (residential)
• Commercial
• Hospital
Section 3 11
Apni 1999

El Reference Manual
Superfund Environmental Indicators
Data’ ntry
• Industrial
• Recreational
• Residential
• School
• Trespassing
• Other
• Not documented
The options listed above provide a detailed level of understanding for potential
receptors to a response action. However, some of the receptors listed above are
not realistic for an action site. For example, while trespassers are likely to be
an exposure receptor, they are not likely to be relocated or provided with an
alternate source of dnnking water. Additionally, some of the receptors are either
sufficiently similar in nature or contain a subset of a larger receptor group that they
could be grouped together easily.
Therefore, it is recommended that only three receptor types be entered into the
receptor field: residential, commercial, or industrial. Residential receptors
make their primary places of residence (e.g., homes or apartments) at the area
of the response action. Residential should be entered for agncultural
(residential), hospital, recreational, residential, school, and trespassing
receptors. All of these receptors are a subset of the residential receptor
involving either sensitive subpopulations or those receptors that are expected
to have the highest exposure potential to a response area. Industrial receptors
include those people who are employed at an area of the response action and
are involved in a manufacturing or construction operation. Examples of
industrial receptors include bulk chemical manufacturers, furniture
manufacturers, and builders. Industrial should be entered as the receptor type
for agricultural (industrial) and industrial receptors. These two receptors have
a moderate potential for exposure to a site. Finally, commercial receptors
should be entered. Commercial receptors are those people who work in an
area of response in a non-manufacturing or construction setting. Examples of
commercial workers include office workers, people in the service industry
(salespeople), and warehouse storage operators.
Step 5. Click on the “Receptors” drop-down menu to select either commercial, residential,
or industrial types.

Step 6. Select the “Populations Protected” box and enter the amount of people aided by
the response action. You must report the number of people who were provided
with an alternate water supply or relocated, If the population in your records is in
number of homes or residences, multiply by the average number of people per
household (usually three) to obtain a good estimate of the number of people
protected.
F. Using the PGMT-08 and PGMT-1 0 Reports To Facilitate El Data Entry
In order to conduct a data quality assurance review of El data in WasteLAN, the PGMT-
08 and PGMT-1O reports may be used. The PGMT-08 report provides a data audit check
of El data at either the national, Regional, state, or site-specific level. The PGMT-08
provides a list of sites where data have not been recorded completely or accurately. It
tracks down inconsistencies in the data underlying the reported Environmental Indicator
progress. Data errors are data entry problems that significantly impact the reporting of
results for Indicators A, B, or C. Please refer to Exhibit 4 below for error code

Superfund Environmental Indicators
Case Study
The following case study on the Matterhorn Site illustrates how environmental
indicator data is extracted and entered, based on cleanup progress made at a hazardous
waste site.
Site Background
The Matterhorn Site, located on 5 acres.rn Alpine, Virgin Islands, is a former lead
paint factory that dumped waste sludge from manufacturing operations and off-grade
materials into a large on-site pit from 1940 to 1985. Leachate from the sludge pit is
polluting the town’s south aquifer and threatens numerous wells near the site.
The company also washed out tank wagons on-site. This operation contributed to solvent
contamination of the soil near an old maintenance shed in the southwest corner of the property.
Run-off from the maintenance shed area is contaminating an adjacent wetland.
EPA added the Matterhorn Site to the final NPL in 1993, and issued a Record of Decision
(ROD) in 1994. The Record of Decision selected the cleanup technologies to be
implemented and the cleanup goals to be met in order to safeguard public health and the
environment.
Extracting Environmental Indicator Data from Cleanup Progress
Cleanup progress is measured in light of the cleanup goals and technologies
determined by a ROD or other guidance document. Cleanup at the Matterhorn Saddle Site
began in 1995. By August 1998, the last time EPA entered Environmental Indicator data
into WasteLAN, substantial progress had been made toward the cleanup goals established
by the ROD for each polluted medium.
Ground Water South Aquifer
As part of the groundwater cleanup, or Removal 1, EPA provided bottled water to 24
residents with polluted water wells. In order to protect additional residents, EPA temporarily
relocated seven residents with excessive well-water contamination. To update the reporting,
the population relocation is added to WasteLAN.

After entenng Environmental Indicator data for the Matterhom Site into WasteLAN, the
PGMT-08 and PGMT- 10 reports are generated in order to check data quality. For this
example, the following filters were chosen to bring up the Matterhorn Site information,
NPLJNon-NPL, Site, and Detail. After noting the information generated by the PGMT-08
report, the PGMT- 10 Turnaround Report can be edited to reflect necessary changes for the
media data. The following example illustrates each error code reported in the PGMT-08
report, and how they can be corrected by utilizing the PGMT- 10 report.
Error Message “02” is corrected in the turnaround report by entering a quantity for the
number of people affected. The South Aquifer associated with “Alternate Drinking
Water” has a population of 24, and “Population Relocation” has a population of 7.
Technologies listed for “Alternate Dnnlung Water” or “Population Relocation” must be
accompanied with the number of people affected.
Error Message “03” is corrected by adding a goal attainment for soil near the sludge
pit “Partially Achieved.” Note that entry of the goal attained date automatically updates
soil goal attainment to “Partially Achieved.” If a volume is entered for the medium goal
attainment is required.
4 Section 4
Sui
nd Environmental Indicators
ApnI 1999
-------
El Reference Manual
Superfund Environmental Indicators
Case Study
Error Message “04” is corrected by entenng “Cleanup Underway” for Sludge in the
Pit, “Partially Achieved” for Soil in the Wash Area, “Fully Achieved” for Leachate
from Pit, and “Partially Achieved” for South Aquifer. As the goal attained date field is
populated, cleanup status is automatically updated. If a technology is entered the level
of goal attainment must be at least “Medium Affected” or “Cleanup Underway.”
• Error Message “07” is corrected by entering a goal attained date, which automatically
generates “Partially Achieved” for South Aquifer and Soil In Wash Area. If a site is on
the constn.iction completion list, a goal must be at least “Partially Achieved” for all
media except for groundwater which must be at least “Cleanup Underway.”
• Error Message “10” is corrected by entering volumes for Sludge in Pit, Leachate From
Pit, and South Aquifer. A medium to which a treatment has been applied must have a
volume or flow.
