We have previously discussedspill responseactivities for sites where an active release occurred and identified key factors in addressing spills. For historical release sites that were not addressed or sites which have undergone insufficient remediation of contaminated media (soil, surface water, groundwater), it is important to formulate a complete site remedial strategy to establish what the end goal will be for site clean-up. Utilizing regulatory guidance, along with identified site-specific characteristics, allows for flexibility in site clean-up approaches.
Consistent Remediation Strategy
It is very important to establish what the key drivers are for the site-specific contaminants. Whether it is crude oil, condensate, refined product, produced water, or stored materials on Site — developing a sampling program to address the extent of affected media will allow for consistency in evaluating data and presenting information to the regulatory agency. It is equally important to develop consistent field screening methods and action levels to determine the extent of excavation or assessment. The goal is to determine what action levels will address Site concerns while balancing remediation costs to minimize the volume of contaminated media being taken off site.
Site Conditions
评估修复过程的其他考虑因素是站点的条件，例如可接受受控工作的区域。您可以在现场追究许可证和治疗受影响的媒体，以降低处置费用吗？创造土地利用限制并与监管机构谈判替代清理水平是否可行？什么是最接近的废物处理设施以及它们在哪里？需要评估现场修复的可能性，以防止装载，拖运和处置成本。在许多网站上，它比在现场解决受影响的媒体的方式更容易挖掘和拖运;但是，有些情况下，长期解决方案是现场治疗而不是大型卡车运输票据。
Communication
Lastly, communication is key. Know what your action levels and end goals are, communicate with regulatory officials, and know what scope your contractors are performing. There are a lot of aspects to manage during Site remediation and leaving affected media in place results in an unexpected future liability that you will have to address again.
在处理修复项目时，必须考虑许多因素以确保顺利运行。项目经理必须了解现场条件，以保持项目安全，高效和经济。为该项目的范围开发一致的行动计划和现场筛选方法也是会议和维护清理目标的关键。请记住，与监管官员，承包商和其他利益相关者频繁和彻底沟通，这是一个成功的修复项目的基础。
