Where Can I Find OSWER Directives and Guidance Documents?
The Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) produces publications providing interpretation or clarification of Agency policy concerning CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act -- the Superfund Program) and RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act), which includes the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program. These publications are referred to as 'directives' or 'guidance documents' depending on the intent with which they were written. Some subjects of these publications include permitting, enforcement, and performing remedial/removal investigations.Our collection of OSWER directives does not circulate, but the documents can be photocopied.
What do the Directive Numbers Mean?
Directives and guidance documents are numbered and arranged according to which office within OSWER has published them.
