The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) focuses on waste site cleanups whenever there is a release or substantial threat of release to the environment by a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Under such conditions, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized to undertake removal and/or remedial action. As summarized in EPA guidance documents, a specific process has been established to identify potentially hazardous sites, characterize site contamination, assess treatment technologies, and then design and construct appropriate treatment facilities. An initial activity of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study/Record of Decision (RI/FS/ROD) process is the issuance of a work plan. The work plan for the 300-FF-5 groundwater operable unit on the Hanford Site is the topic of this document. This 300-FF-5 Work Plan is written as an addendum to the 300-FF-1 Work Plan. The 300-FF-5 operable unit consists of the groundwater aquifer beneath the 300-FF-1, 300-FF-2, and 300-FF-3 source operable units and adjacent areas defined by the extent of groundwater contamination (WHC 1989). The outline used in this addendum generally follows that of the 300-FF-1 Work Plan. This addendum is complete in its coverage of all outline sections, but where possible, the 300-FF-1 Work Plan is referenced rather than duplicating major discussions. 119 refs., 47 figs., 35 tabs.
