Commonly Used Acronyms and Definitions
CEQA = California Environmental Quality Act Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; Title 14 CCR Section 15000 et seq
A statute requiring state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.
DTSC = Dept of Toxic Substances Control A State department that regulates hazardous waste, cleans up existing
contamination, and looks for ways to reduce the hazardous waste produced in California.
PEA = Preliminary Endangerment Assessment Ed. Code 17210(h), Health and Safety Code 25319.5
An activity that is performed to determine if hazardous materials are present, or if there is a threat that hazardous materials could be released. Requires site sampling and analysis, a preliminary determination of the type and extent of hazardous material contamination, and a preliminary evaluation of risks.
Commonly Used Acronyms and Definitions
POESA = Phase One Environmental Site Assessment Ed. Code 17210(g), Health and Safety Code 25319.1
A preliminary assessment of a property to determine if hazardous materials are present, based on reasonably available information about the property and vicinity.
May include a review of public and private records, current and historical land uses, prior releases of hazardous material, database searches, reviews of relevant files of federal, state, and local agencies, visual and other surveys of the property and general vicinity, interviews with current and previous owners and operators, and review of regulatory correspondence and environmental reports.
Sampling or testing is not required for a POESA.
RAP = Remedial Action Plan A report that evaluates alternatives for remediating any identified soil or
groundwater problems at a site and outlines a specific program leading to the remediation of a contaminated site. Submitted to the Department of Toxic Substances Control for approval.
A RAP is applicable to a response action costing more than $1 million, and requires a more involved public participation process than for a RAW.
RAW = Removal Action Workplan – Health and Safety Code 25323.1
A workplan prepared or approved by the Department of Toxic Substances Control or a California regional water quality control board that is developed to carry out a removal action to protect public health and safety and the environment.
Must include a detailed engineering plan for conducting the removal action, a description of the onsite contamination, cleanup goals to be achieved, and any alternative removal options that were considered and rejected and the basis for that rejection.
A RAW is applicable to a response action costing less than $1 million.
Commonly Used Acronyms and Definitions
Commonly Used Acronyms and Definitions
SCA = School Cleanup Agreement An agreement between the school district and the Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) to provide DTSC oversight of the response action. It supercedes the previous agreements affecting the project site.
It differs from the Voluntary Cleanup Agreement (VCA) in several ways including dispute resolution, termination procedures, and penalties for non-compliance.
Creates a stronger guarantee that cleanup and remediation will be completed after receiving California Department of Education final approvals and State Allocation Board apportionment.
Commonly Used Acronyms and Definitions
SSI = Supplemental Site Investigation A follow-up investigation to a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment
(PEA), designed to close any data gaps left after conducting the PEA to allow for a Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) determination of either no further action or for the determination that a site requires a response action. At some sites, multiple SSI’s may be necessary before a final determination can be made.
VCA = Voluntary Cleanup Agreement An agreement between a project proponent and the Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) for a non-school site. The VCA can range from services for an initial site assessment, to oversight and certification of a full site cleanup, based on the proponent’s financial and scheduling objectives. The VCA specifies the estimated DTSC costs, scheduling for the project, and DTSC services to be provided.
