Subject: Land Disposal Restrictions; Response to Court Remand
Abstract: On November 7, 1986, EPA promulgated the first set of
treatment standards based on the Best Demonstrated Available Technology
(BDAT). In doing so, the Agency rejected a proposed approach in which
treatment standards would be capped by risk-based screening levels. A
number of groups filed petitions for review which challenged EPA's choice
of technology -based treatment standards over risk-based standards. The
DC Court of Appeals found the Agency's selection of technology-based standards
was reasonable, however they concluded the Agency failed to adequately
explain its policy preference for technology-based standards. This notice
provides a response to the Court's order.
