The EPA Needs to Improve the Verification of Land-Use Controls at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Facilities

The EPA does not have a national process in place to track or verify the status of land-use controls at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act corrective action facilities. The EPA has not identified standard methods for long-term oversight of land-use controls at corrective action facilities. Additionally, the EPA regions vary in their progress toward attainment of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program Goal 4. Further, EPA information systems that can be used to access program information contain data issues, and the EPA is not using its information systems to track the status of land-use controls.
