Title: Amending the National Contingency Plan (NCP) Provisions for Public Notices for Specific Superfund Activities | |
Abstract:
The EPA amended the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) to add language to broaden ways the agency can inform the public of site-related activities. Modifying the NCP allows the regions to adopt a communications approach that is most appropriate for the community and stage of the Superfund process. In some cases, publishing a public notice in a major local newspaper may be the most economical and effective way to inform the public. However, in other cases, other outreach methods may be more appropriate, such as direct mailings to individual homes or e-mail notifications. These changes give Superfund site teams the flexibility to design a communications approach suitable for the community and the situation. |
