River Corridor Completion Strategy
During preparation of the Master Schedules for the Groundwater Remediation
Project, efforts were taken to assure that the schedules of the River Corridor
Project and for groundwater protection activities both support the completion
of final records of decision in the 100 and 300 Areas. Recent changes in
the Tri-Party Agreement set schedules for the completion of waste site remediation
and facility decontamination and decommissioning for the 100 and 300 Areas,
which is the primary focus of the River Corridor contractor. Concurrently,
the Groundwater Remediation Project has responsibility for groundwater monitoring,
assessment, and remediation; ecological monitoring and assessment; and development
of the final remedy selection and documentation process for the 100 and
300 Areas. These closely related and highly dependent activities are coordinated
to assure compliance with the Tri-Party Agreement. The goal is to complete
the activities required to issue final records of decision, develop and
implement long-term stewardship, and delete the 100 and 300 Areas from the
National Priorities List.
|
At this time, no formal strategy has been developed to delete any of the 100 Areas
from the National Priorities List. However, using an area-by-area approach to develop
and prepare data needed to support final remedy decisions provides a sound basis for
any deletion strategy.

The subsites for this page describe the completion strategy and commitments
for the 100 and 300 Areas contained in the Tri-Party Agreement, the Agreement-in-Principle,
and the tentative agreement for the River Corridor, upon which the Master Schedules
for the Groundwater Remediation Project are based.
