List of CSTAG Sites
The EPA has identified the following sites as those that warrant review by the CSTAG because they are large, complex, or controversial. No quantifiable criteria were used to develop this list. This list will grow as more sites are listed on the NPL or as additional information becomes available on sites undergoing investigation.
As the CSTAG reviews each site, links to the CSTAG’s recommendations for the site and the Region’s response to the recommendations will be posted below. These documents will also become part of the administrative record for the site.
