Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the extent of management information available to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in carrying out its enforcement responsibilities under the Superfund program. GAO found that, while EPA headquarters and regional offices have individual management information systems for tracking Superfund enforcement actions, there is no such system that covers the entire agency. Most such systems were developed in recent years, as the growing Superfund case load prompted program managers to develop systematic ways of tracking enforcement actions. Many EPA officials believe that, if the Superfund enforcement case load continues to increase as expected, an agencywide information system could enable program managers to better address comprehensive Superfund issues such as the length of the enforcement process, whether enforcement milestones are met, and resource allocation. However, EPA has not assessed the feasibility of implementing a comprehensive Superfund enforcement tracking system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to improve its management information systems for the Superfund enforcement and remedial programs. GAO noted that: (1) the tracking component of the Superfund system is not widely used because of slow and difficult data entry and retrieval and difficulties in modifying standard output records for specific regional needs; and (2) regional personnel do not input data as required and, as a result, the information contained in the Superfund system is often unreliable. GAO found that: (1) EPA is in the initial stages of an effort to develop a comprehensive management information system for all Superfund programs; (2) EPA has instituted a new manual system for tracking compliance with consent decrees; (3) as of February 1986, EPA had not developed a formal policy for collecting and reporting information on state enforcement activities, but it had taken action to require regional offices to report state enforcement information; and (4) EPA has implemented a national, automated management information system to track remedial actions. GAO also found that: (1) EPA has developed an integrated reporting system that generates reports on the status of all Superfund activities at individual waste sites by drawing information from other management information systems; (2) the Information Management Task Group has proposed a comprehensive database which would be accessible to headquarters and regional offices and would be used for program evaluation, planning, and management information; and (3) EPA has initiated a pilot project to develop an automated site management process which would identify critical milestones.

Book excerpt: Under the Superfund program, the EPA places the most seriously contaminated sites on the National Priorities List. EPA may compel site cleanups by parties responsible for contamination, or conduct cleanups itself and have these parties reimburse its costs. The program is funded by a trust fund, which is largely supported by general fund appropriations. This report examines: (1) EPA's enforcement action outcomes and the factors parties consider in reaching these outcomes; (2) any trends in litigation to resolve Superfund liability; and (3) the program's status and costs. The report obtained and analyzed Superfund program data from EPA, as well as data on Superfund litigation from cases filed in U.S. district courts. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
