http://rules.sos.ga.gov/GAC/391-3-19-.06

After a site is listed on the Hazardous Site Inventory (HSI), the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) will request that the responsible parties for the site submit a Compliance Status Report (CSR) as two electronic copies and one paper copy ( Download this doc file. electronic submittal format guide ).

The CSR documents the investigation of the site including identifying all responsible parties, locating source areas, completely defining the horizontal and vertical extent of contamination in soil and groundwater, and identifying which of the contaminated areas are not in compliance with the risk reduction standards specified in the Rules for Hazardous Site Response (391-3-19). 

If the responsible parties are unable to fulfill the requirements of the CSR, enforcement action may be taken against the responsible parties and/or the State may pay for the investigation using the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund. This page provides a description of the parts of a CSR.
