The purpose of the program is to:

• Investigate releases of hazardous chemicals at or from Gary Works and determine if there is a threat to human health and the environment. This stage is called the RCRA Facility Investigation.  To learn more about Gary Works RFI Program click here.
   
• Evaluate cleanup options to address releases that may pose a threat to people or the environment. This stage is called the Corrective Measures Study.
   
• Complete interim and final remedies to protect human health and the environment. Cleanup actions performed before USEPA selects a final remedy are called interim measures. After USEPA selects a final remedy, the corrective action program will enter the Corrective Measures Implementation phase. At this stage, USS will construct the remedy chosen by USEPA.
