 Define complex site

 Examples  Enduring Commitment  Develop Site Strategy  Develop Site Strategy  Identify Options  Measure Site Progress  Ultimate End-State  Ultimate End State

Complex Remediation Sites Complex Remediation Sites

 Areal extent of sites – regional impacts, drainage basins,

miles of river, mining districts

 Contaminants occur naturally  Primary remedy is waste in place

a y e edy s was e p ace

 Ultimate cleanup requires in perpetuity management

U t i t f di l t d d

 Uncertainty of remedial standards  Solutions require integrated remedy



These sites required an extensive commitment to endure through extensive data collection, negotiations and development of trust w/ stakeholders.



Development of an advocacy & engagement plan is critical to success of your site

• bjectives.

 Engagement with key stakeholders – community, and regulators  Informing the public with regulatory agreement on environmental progress using  Informing the public with regulatory agreement on environmental progress using

strategic venues on a continuing basis

 Advocating for legislative and regulatory initiatives that promote

bl t d d reasonableness standards

 Delivering messages through organizations, media (earned and otherwise), and

third-party advocates

 Participating in programs that support or align with business objectives

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”

 Impacted sites require reduction of risks

p q

 Risks can be defined as uncertainties

M i k d ti t d t d

 Measure risk reduction to understand progress  Risks based on site conditions  Risks can be characterized as Technical or Non-

 Proceed through regulatory steps w/ a plan  Allow sound science to drive protectiveness

 Implement interim remedies

N ti t th h di l

 Negotiate through open dialogues  Demonstrate through science lead studies to

promote risk-based standards including TI waivers

 Ultimately CD should include protective terms that
