EPA Document - BMPs for Triad Approach for Assessment/Cleanup

Best Management Practices: Use of Systematic Project Planning Under a Triad Approach for Site Assessment and Cleanup (EPA 542-F-10-010). This technical publication is intended for environmental practitioners engaged in the investigation, design, remediation, and closure or reuse of contaminated sites. Systematic Project Planning is a rigorous project planning process that lays a scientifically defensible foundation for proposed project activities. The bulletin discusses important considerations and contingencies that need to be addressed, and key activities to be performed during SPP at hazardous-waste sites. It guides the reader to think about SPP from early assessment, to evolving to a mature conceptual site model, to looking ahead at site re-use; and emphasizes up-front effort. Included are references where the reader can find tools and more detailed technical guidance (September 2010, 19 pages). View or download at http://clu-in.org/techpubs.htm .
