PURPOSE
     The purpose of this memorandum  is  to  request that Regions
consult with Headquarters  on  sites  where remediation goals are
to be developed  for dioxin in soil.  This request is being made
as a result of the discussion on dioxin with Superfund
National Policy  Managers at the  Lead,  Dioxin and PCB meeting
in Chicago on November  22,  1996.  The Office of Emergency and
Remedial Response, the  Office of Site Remediation Enforcement
and the Office of Federal  Facilities Restoration and Reuse
Office have agreed that this  consultation policy for dioxin
sites is applicable to  all Fund  and potentially responsible
party(PRP) - lead sites, including  other Federal agency-lead
and State-lead sites,  for  which  a Record of Decision  (ROD) or
ROD Amendment is being  developed, or for Explanation of
Significant Differences (ESD)  in those  cases where cleanup
levels are altered by  an ESD.
