Project Chronicles

It's interesting to note, that of the new sites just listed onto the NPL, two of them are sediments sites. While these types of sites, in general, will continue to be added to the NPL in lower numbers, it seems that the response actions and costs will be more complicated and costly, than the more normal "terrestrial sites," we have commonly managed during the last two decades.

For example, I was just looking at the remedial alternatives which are being considered in the RI/FS process at Passaic River, NJ, and the largest scoped solutions, which incorporate substantial dredging, are forecast to exceed $2 Billion....so in a word, there are big opportunities to drive cost savings via value engineering and just sheer straightforward creativity.
