1. Starting in FY 2018, the Agency is reporting contaminated soil and water cleanup from all cases, not just from CERCLA and RCRA Corrective Action cases as in past years.
2. The Volume of Contaminated Soil and Water is reported the year in which the enforcement action that initially required the cleanup is issued or entered.
