This webinar will provide information on possible resources and recommendations for how States can most efficiently keep remedies moving toward closure.
CERCLA Post Construction Focus Group
Preparing Post-Construction Cleanup Sites for Natural Disasters
The ASTSWMO CERCLA Post Construction Focus Group has developed a checklist called, Preparing Post-Construction Cleanup Sites for Natural Disasters, which is solely intended to help States in identifying efficient and effective measures for preparation in advance of potential natural disasters to aid in the identification of likely concerns following a natural disaster. The information provided on the checklist can be used to identify and respond to changed conditions at sites to support action to ensure protectiveness of human health and the environment.

Optimizing for the Post Construction Phase of Superfund Sites
This document is solely intended to help States in identifying efficient and effective adaptive Operational and Maintenance management practices that can be utilized to respond to changing conditions while ensuring protectiveness of human health and the environment.
Transitioning Sites to Post Construction Report
ASTSWMO’s CERCLA Post Construction Focus Group developed this report to provide examples of challenges experienced by various States during the transition of sites from the EPA to a State and present National Priorities List site examples that illustrate opportunities for possible solutions to aid in facilitating more successful transitions.
State Conceptual Framework to Estimate Associated Cost
Building upon previously funded EPA research conducted by the Environmental Law Institute, the ASTSWMO Long-Term Stewardship Focus Group chose to develop an institutional controls costing tool that represents a State perspective, especially for those States currently in the development or implementation stage of a State LTS program. Rather than focusing narrowly on site-specific IC costs, the Focus Group conducted a broad evaluation of all of the costs associated with LTS. From this analysis, the Focus Group has developed a spreadsheet tool to assist States in establishing or enhancing an existing ICs or LTS program and determining the costs associated with those activities.
