REGULATION: EPA DNAPL website

The US EPA's Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation has constructed a website that compiles available information related to the cleanup of dense nonaqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) at hazardous waste sites. The website was developed in response to a recommendation of the EPA Ground Water Task Force, which identified a need for the creation of a comprehensive compilation of DNAPL resources. The Task Force purpose is:

• The task force will serve as the main technical/policy/communication/networking resource for OSWER on groundwater issues.



• The task force will promote cross-program coordination and communication on technical and policy issues related to the cleanup of contaminated groundwater.



• The task force will identify, prioritize and work to solve and/or provide guidance on groundwater issues and projects that will benefit multiple clean-up programs.

The Ground Water Task Force is one component of EPA's One Cleanup Program, which is integrating the assessment and cleanup efforts of solid and hazardous waste cleanup programs to increase the speed and efficiency of environmental cleanups and improve the sharing of information with affected citizens. Task Force efforts are conducted under Initiative I: More Effective and Consistent Cleanups of the One Cleanup Program.
