degree of program integration and flexibility. All removals are not
necessarily urgent and all remedial actions are not necessarily deferrable.
This new flexibility will allow additional managerial control of scheduling
and completion of all projects.

Removal Actions At Methane Release Sites
9360.0-08 1/23/86 - ERD 2 pages
Clarifies EPA's policy on the appropriateness of CERCLA removal actions at
methane gas release sites. As a matter of policy, CERCLA responses to
methane gas releases should be carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis,
using this document as well as best professional judgement, and with careful
documentation. Because methane gas is not listed or designated under any of
the statutory provisions in Section 101(14) CERCLA, it is not a "hazardous
waste." However, responses under Section 104 are not limited to hazardous
substances. Since methane gas emanating from a landfill is not considered
to be natural gas, such releases may therefore be eligible for response
under Section 104(a)(1) if methane gas otherwise meets the definition of a
pollutant or contaminant under Section 104(a)(2). As a matter of policy,
CERCLA responses to methane gas releases should be carefully evaluated on a
case-by-case basis, using this document as well as best professional
judgement, and including careful documentation.
