Accelerating underground storage tank corrective action -- II. Proceedings of the international specialty conference
The primary objective of this conference was to present and facilitate open discussion of regulatory, technical, and management processes that have been used to speed up and reduce the costs of site assessment and remediation. Given the large number of releases (more than 200,000), regulators, state fund administrators, consultants, contractors, and owners are considering new technologies and processes that will speed up the corrective action process. Experience has shown that shortening the time in the investigation and remedial action planning of underground storage tank (UST) cleanup projects can improve protection of human health and the environment, and reduce costs. UST regulators, owners, consultants, and contractors were able to learn and explore the latest UST corrective action issues, including: exposure and risk assessment; expedited site assessment; cost control and contract management; measuring performance; in situ remediation technologies; and institutional controls for contaminated properties. Individual papers have been processed separately for inclusion in the appropriate data bases.
