Short description and topics:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is
seeking public comment on a plan to develop interim preliminary
remediation goals (PRGs) for dioxin in soil at Superfund sites.
The plan includes a review of current dioxin cleanup guidance
that has been established by the EPA, states and other
countries, including the latest fully peer-reviewed dioxin
toxicity assessments. EPA will release the draft interim PRGs
for public comment in December 2009, and anticipates issuing the
final interim PRGs in June 2010. EPA is currently undertaking a
reassessment of dioxin, the results of which are expected to be
released by the end of 2010.
