| The Recommendations from the EPA GWTF are the result of a three-year effort that was established under the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response's (OSWER) One Cleanup Program Initiative. The goal of the GWTF was to identify, prioritize, and make recommendations for ground water issues that will benefit multiple ground water cleanup and protection programs. The report focuses on two topics the GWTF selected for evaluation: cleanup goals appropriate for dense non-aqueous phase liquid source zones; and, ground water use, value, and vulnerability as factors in setting cleanup goals. It includes background information, options, and GWTF recommendations to address identified issues. The cover letter of the report includes the recommendations the EPA OSWER is currently pursuing. |
