No. 9355.7-04, May 1995 (the Superfund Land Use Directive) in Superfund response actions, and

highlight its importance in achieving the goals of the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative (SRI);

2. Extend the applicability of the Superfund Land Use Directive to non-time-critical removal

actions1, where appropriate; and

3. Introduce the “Reuse Assessment” as a tool to help implement the Superfund Land Use Directive.
