Guidance suggests that what Superfund memoranda of agreement (SMOAs) might contain and how the document may be organized. The SMOA is a result of EPA's continuing effort to improve the quality of communication with states in the conduct of the Superfund program. The SMOA is a non-site-specific consultation mechanism and is intended to facilitate communication between EPA and a state of each party's roles and responsibilities during Superfund cleanup (response) activities. OSWER Directive No. 9375.0-01. Issued 5/8/1989.
