SUPERFUND Records Of Decision Update From: Hazardous Site Control Division To: EPA Regional Offices September ID, 1985 Vol. 1, No. 6 TECHNICAL AIDS ON THE WAY HEAs The Office of Emergency and Remedial Response is in the process of developing Health Ef- fects Assessment (HEAs) docu- ments for hazardous sub- stances commonly found at Superfund sites. The HEAs will provide a rapid index of up-to- date information on chemical and physical properties, fate and transport, and toxicological pro- perties of these hazardous sub- stances. The information con- tained in these documents will be utilized in establishing site- specific engineering design goals in the feasibility studies for situations where relevant and applicable public health and en- vironmental standards (e.g., MCLs) do not exist. For more in- formation or copies of the HEAs, contact Craig Zamuda (FTS 382-2197). HEAs are now available for the 58 chemicals mentioned in the following list. Document Name Acetone Arsenic Asbestos Barium Benzene Benzo(a)pyrene Cadmium Carbon Tetrachloride Chlordane Chlorobenzene Chloroform Coal Tars Copper Cresols Cyanide DDT 1.1 - Dichloroethane 1.2 - Dichloroethane 1.1 - Dichloroethylene 1.2 -1 - Dichloroethylene (trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene) cis - 1,2 - Dichloroethylene Ethylbenzene Glycol Ethers Hexachlorobenzene Hexachlorobutadiene Hexachlorocyclopentadiene Hexavalent Chromium Iron (and Compounds) Lead Lindane Manganese (and Compounds) Mercury Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane) Methyl Ethyl Ketone Naphthalene Nickel Pentachlorophenol Phenanthrene Phenol Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydro- carbons (PAH) Pyrene Selenium (and Compounds) Sodium Cyanide Sulfuric Acid 2,3,7,8 - TCDD 1,1,2,2 - Tetrachloroethane Tetrachloroethylene Toluene 1,1,1 - Trichlorethane Trichloroethylene 1,2,3 - Trichlorophenol 2.4.5 - Trichlorophenol 2.4.6 - Trichlorophenol Trivalent Chromium Vinyl Chloride Xylene Zinc (and Compounds) PCBs Several months ago the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response requested the Office of Research and Development (ORD) to develop health ad- visories for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). A draft docu- ment which addresses advisory levels for acute and chronic ex- posure to PCBs in soils, as a function of soil ingestion and vapor inhalation, has been developed by ORD and is undergoing detailed agency review. Advisory levels will be recommended for covered and uncovered contaminated soils. The document will be made available upon completion of the review process. The Office of Pesticides and Toxic Sub- stances is currently developing a TSCA policy for the cleanup of PCB spills. This document focuses on risk management considerations. The policy will be proposed in the Federal Register shortly. For further in- formation on these draft documents, contact Craig Zamuda (FTS 382-2197) or Paul Schumann (FTS 475-6705). ------- REMEDIAL PROGRAM CONTACTS The lists below are provided to assist you in your quests for in- formation and advice from Headquarters.
