This paper describes the technical and administrative approach to Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) activities on federal facilities. The remediation of this mercury-contaminated site is of significant interest to several stakeholders. The area of contamination extends along the floodplain of a 14-mile creek that flows through residential and commercial property areas. Public response is critical in determining what remedial action will be taken. This paper will address stakeholder involvement and the necessary delicate balance that government agencies must achieve to ensure protection of human health and the environment and cost-effective use of funds. The remediation of Lower East Fork Poplar Creek (LEFPC), which is a mercury-contaminated site, has posed many challenges to the technical participants, regulators, and public community. The intent of this paper is to identify some of these challenges and the approach used to reach conclusions on some technical issues and public participation.
