This memorandum provides EPA policy related to the use of CERCLA ACLs in Superfund cleanups and supersedes any previous guidance on this matter. CERCLA section 121 provides authority to use ACLs under certain circumstances. This memorandum reiterates the statutory requirements and provides several factors to consider in evaluating whether use of CERCLA ACLs may be appropriate under site-specific circumstances.
Caution: Information in the following document cannot be applied to Superfund sites. This is because the CERCLA statute placed several limitations on the use of ACLs in Superfund remedies (see OSWER Directive 9200.4-39, above).
