Risk based corrective action and intrinsic remediation: Good news and bad
- Gardere and Wynne, L.L.P., Tulsa, OK (United States)
Risk based corrective action (RBCA) remedial solutions are cost effective and protective of human health and the environment. Frequently, achieving a RBCA remedial solution for a contaminated site is a desirable goal. Regardless of the attractions presented by a RBCA remedial solution, diligent and careful scientific, engineering and legal research, planning, negotiation and communication are required to achieve such a solution. A successful RBCA remedial solution must recognize scientific and engineering realities at the site, comply with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, and reflect a consensus of all interested parties. RBCA is a risk management strategy. RBCA does not imply any particular contaminant technology. Even so, intrinsic attenuation of pollutants is a key component of RBCA at many sites.
