Assessment of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARS) for Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, Alabama

Title I, 121 of SARA specifies that for any hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant that remains on-site, the level or standard of control that must be met shall be at least that of any legally applicable or relevant and appropriate regulation (ARAR), standard, criteria, or limitation under any federal environmental law or any more stringent standard promulgated under state environmental or facility siting law.
