Quick Reference Guide for Community Considerate Cleanups

Published on December 19, 2024

The ASTSWMO Investigation and Remedy Selection Focus Group has developed a Quick Reference Guide for State managers. The goal of this Quick Reference Guide (QRG) is to support the development of Community Considerate Cleanups (C3). These are cleanups designed through the lens of the people who live, work, play, and learn in an affected community. Communities are affected not only when cleanups take place within them, but when cleanup waste is treated and/or disposed of in the area.

Note: The QRG is not intended to be a comprehensive guide for all cleanup plan requirements, but rather a pathway to re-frame the importance of addressing community voices within the cleanup plan. This QRG does not replace federal or State public participation or cleanup planning requirements, but rather serves to provide additional depth to existing proven practices.
