Kentucky and Indiana Remediation News . . .
Kentucky recently changed its remediation/corrective action statute to formally adopt USEPA Region 3’s “Remedial Screening Levels” as the State’s official screening criteria for real property. The change becomes effective June 8.
Indiana DEM recently issued a new 400 page Remediation Closure Guide in draft form for public comment through mid-June. The Guide encompasses a wide variety of remedial programs. Because Ohio EPA’s new Director (Scott J. Nally) came from IDEM, and Ohio EPA has struggled for years to develop a comprehensive multi-program set of closure/remediation standards, don’t be surprised if this move eventually comes to Ohio.
