RCRA Environmental Indicators
Environmental Indicators
While the ultimate goal of the RCRA Corrective Action Program is
to achieve final cleanups, we are measuring the intermediate success
of the program against our GPRA goals. The
program is monitoring intermediate progress by tracking two Environmental
Indicators (EIs), the human exposure and groundwater EIs, which
are the main focus of the corrective action GPRA goals. These indicators
measure progress in environmental terms rather than administrative
process steps. Measuring and recording our progress toward these
goals will be a top priority for EPA and the states over the next
several years. More detailed information is available via EPA’s
national RCRA Corrective Action Environmental
Indicators page.
