Title: Scientific Basis for Monitored Natural Attenuation and Enhanced Passive Remediation for Chlorinated Solvents - DOE Alternative Project for Technology Acceleration Implementation Plan

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/810006· OSTI ID:810006

The overall Monitored Natural Attenuation and Enhanced Passive Remediation (MNA/EPR) Technology Alternative Project is narrowly focused, providing the scientific and policy support to facilitate implementing appropriate passive cleanup and cost effective monitoring strategies leading to responsible completion of active remediation activities at high risk DOE waste sites. MNA/EPR describe natural processes that mitigate exposure and risk and that are self-sustaining once implemented or require minimal adjustments to maintain functionality. The overall MNA/EPR project effort will be performed as a collaboration between DOE science and operations organizations at the target sites along with regulatory agencies, stakeholders, industry, and universities, as identified in the approved Alternative Project Plan. This plan describes the project initiation activities, individual roles and responsibilities, milestones, and budget for the project. A primary product of this project will be a collaboratively developed MNA/EPR protocol that will facilitate widespread use and acceptance. This technical protocol will be developed in collaboration with regulator agencies as input for regulation updates and guidance documents, as appropriate. This plan describes the project initiation activities, individual roles and responsibilities, milestones, and budget for the project.
