Administrative Record is presented in DVD format.

What is an Administrative Record?

An administrative record is a collection of documents that forms the basis for an agency's

decision, in this case the selection of a response action at a Superfund site. This does not mean

that only documents that support a response decision are placed in the administrative record.

Relevant documents that were relied upon in selecting the response action, as well as relevant

documents that were considered but ultimately rejected, are included. The administrative record

also acts as a vehicle for public participation in selecting a response action.

Under section 113(K) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and

Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act

(SARA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to establish an

administrative record for every Superfund response action and to make a copy of the

administrative record available at or near the site. The administrative record must be reasonably

available for public review during normal business hours. Questions regarding the maintenance

of the administrative record file should be directed to:

Elaine Chan, Administrative Record Coordinator, U.S. EPA (SFD-7-5), 75 Hawthorne Street,

San Francisco, CA 94105-3972, Phone: (415) 972-3128

mailto:[email protected]

mailto:[email protected]

How to obtain copies of administrative record documents:

Individuals may copy any documents contained in the administrative record file according to the

procedures at the local repository or request a copy of the DVD by calling the Superfund

Records Center at (415) 820-4700.
