CEG evaluates the findings of the Site Characterization process relative to "Due Care Obligations" mandated by the regulatory community as well as other applicable State and Federal environmental regulations to determine if remediation is necessary.  If the evaluation determines that site cleanup or engineering controls are required, CEG will recommend conduct of a Feasibility Study to determine remedial options.  There are many parameters that are scrutinized during the Feasibility Study process with the final goal being effective treatment that meets the remedial objectives in a cost effective manner.

Potential remedial options are evaluated against the following broad screening criteria in accordance with State and Federal guidelines:

1.  EFFECTIVENESS: The potential effectiveness of the process option to meet the applicable remedial action objective (RAO)
     for identified areas and volumes of impacted media to achieve an appropriate land use-based cleanup;

2.  COST: Relative capital, operational and maintenance costs for the remedial technology compared to the technologies
     evaluated;

3.  TIMELINESS: The potential for the process option to achieve the RAOs in a reasonable time frame; and

4.  ACCEPTABLE ENGINEERING PRACTICES: The feasibility of implementing the process option at the Site based on
     location, conditions of the release, applicability to constituents of concern and overall reliability.

CEG staff has direct experience with the design and implementation of a host of remedial solutions including groundwater pump-and treat, permeable reactive barrier walls (PRB), in-situ chemical oxidation, in-situ enhanced reductive dechlorination, excavation and off-site disposal, installation of slurry walls, groundwater control systems and monitored natural attenuation.
