Definition
Site
Assessment (SA) covers the time period from when the site is first identified
and information is collected to make decisions on what future studies
or actions need to be taken, up to, and including the point when the
Hazard Ranking Score (HRS) package is submitted. Information generated
during this period that is pre-decisional is protected from release
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). When the site is
closed (NFRAP - No Further Remedial Action Planned or SEA - Site Evaluation
Accomplished) or ranked on the National Priorities List (NPL), the decisions
have been made and all information is then releasable.

92.01
Preliminary Assessment Score or "Prescore" (Non-Releasable)
At
the time the preliminary assessment is conducted a Preliminary Assessment
Score or Prescore is figured. This is a short version of the HRS
score sheet that quickly identifies if there seems to be a hazard that
would rank on the NPL list. This Prescore is pre-decisional and
therefore not releasable to the public. When a site is either closed
(NFRAP or SEA) or the site is proposed for ranking, the Prescore is declassified
and becomes releasable.
92.02
Hazard Ranking System Package (HRS, Non-Releasable)
;Based
on information obtained from the site inspections, EPA uses a system designed
to rank the hazards associated with the site and compare it to the risks
posed by other sites throughout the nation. Scores at or above a
given threshhold are placed on the NPL. The HRS package consists
of the HRS score, attachments to support the score, and public comments.
The HRS package is pre-decisional until the site is proposed for ranking
or the site is closed by NFRAP or SEA. At that point, the HRS package
is declassified and is releasable to the public under FOIA. The
declassified HRS package is refiled into the SA file.
