Memorandum addresses coordination within enforcement program offices with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action, Superfund, and state/tribal cleanup programs. Issued 9/24/1996.

The memorandum discusses three issues:

1. acceptance of decisions made by other remedial programs;
2. deferral of activities and coordination among EPA RCRA, EPA CERCLA and state/tribal cleanup programs; and
3. coordination of the specific standards and administrative requirements for closure of RCRA regulated units with other cleanup activities.

The memorandum also announces a revision to the Agency’s policy on the use of fate and transport calculations to meet the "clean closure" performance standard under RCRA.
