Contaminated Sediments Technical Advisory Group (CSTAG)

The Contaminated Sediments Technical Advisory Group (CSTAG) was established as a technical advisory group to monitor the progress of, and provide advice regarding, a small number of large, complex, or controversial contaminated sediment Superfund sites.

CSTAG Purpose

1. To help Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) and On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) of a select number of large, complex, or controversial sediment sites appropriately investigate and manage their sites in accordance with the 11 risk management principles.
2. To encourage national consistency in the management of sediment sites by providing a forum for exchange of technical and policy information.
3. To provide a mechanism for monitoring and evaluating the progress at a number of the largest or most complex contaminated sediment sites.
