Results of Field and Laboratory Investigations Conducted for Remediation of Interim Response Actions other Contamination Sources
Abstract
This summary section discusses the following report and explains its role in the IRA alternative assessment process described in the Federal Facility Agreement (FFA). This section will also serve as a guide to direct the reader to existing and new information contained in this document. The Final Technical Program Plan Fiscal Year (FY) 88-FY 92 states that the objective of the Remediation of Other Contamination Sources IRA is to 'mitigate the threat of releases from selected hot spot sources....' The Remediation of Other Contamination Sources IRA is described in Section 22.1 paragraph (1) of the FFA. The process set forth in paragraphs 22.5 through 22.14 of the FFA governs the assessment, design, and implementation of this IRA. The goal of this IRA assessment is defined in paragraph 22.6 of the FFA, which states that the assessment can use all appropriate previous studies or assessments to evaluate the need for an IRA and the selection of the most cost-effective alternative for attaining the objective of the IRA. According to the Final Task Plan for this IRA, the need for an IRA should be based on whether any of the hot spots could be considered an active source of groundwater contamination, and, if so, if there is significant risk to the public, and/or if there is a clear and significant benefit to be gained by performing an IRA at this time.
