Guidance Library (Archive)

This webpage includes courtesy copies of previous versions of SRP guidance documents. The documents are arranged in four categories (Technical Guidance developed before and after the enactment of SRRA, Financial Guidance, Administrative Guidance, and Permits). Each document has an associated version and date to identify when it was issued, along with supporting documents (Change Log, Response to Comments, etc.) if available. If more than one version exists, the documents will be in chronological order.

For site investigation and cleanup, LSRPs and the regulated community should use the most recent version of a Guidance document. The most recent versions of guidance documents are available on the CSRR Guidance Library.

The Department has attempted to include all available previous versions of the various guidance documents, however, this webpage is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all previous versions of the guidance documents.
