EPAs Goal
The Government
Performance and Results Act passed by Congress in 1993 mandated that all
federal agencies -- including EPA develop measurable targets and strategic
plans for their operations. One of EPAs goals is that by 2005, 95% of the
1,714 high-priority RCRA cleanups being undertaken now (of which this site
is one) will have human exposures under control, and that 70% of them will
have contaminated groundwater under control.
