Remedial Action Plans

Remedial Action Plans (RAP) are usually required by the environmental regulatory agency for sites that have been the subject of comprehensive site assessment activities in which excessive contamination to the soil, sediment, or groundwater has been documented. Specifically, if petroleum or other hazardous material contamination has been documented to be in excess of regulated soil and groundwater cleanup target levels or natural attenuation levels, a RAP is generally required by the governing environmental regulatory agency. Depending on the site-specific characteristics with regards to contaminant characterization, magnitude and spatial extent of contamination, and site operations/constraints, a RAP may involve various methodologies to meet site rehabilitation objectives. Remedial Action Plans may involve a direct source removal via excavation, design, installation and operation of an in-situ remedial system, implementation of innovative bio-remedial technologies, or a combination of these technologies.

LandScience is experienced in preparing RAPs specifying various methodologies and remedial technologies to address petroleum-based, solvent-based, and other sources of soil and groundwater contamination. LandScience has worked with various South Florida regulatory agencies in the successful preparation and implementation RAPs for various sites. LandScience is capable of performing the following remedial services:

• Initial remedial actions (IRA) including mitigation of spills and releases of petroleum, chemical, solvent and other non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). IRA services include coordination of emergency response services, coordination of remedial excavation and waste removal services, NAPL containment, and other IRA services.
• Evaluation of existing active remedial systems including operational effectiveness, remedial system operation & maintenance, remedial system monitoring, reporting, upgrading, and minor and major remedial system/technology modifications including RAP Modifications.
• Remedial technology screening in order to determine the most practical remedial method to meet site rehabilitation objectives. Remedial technology screening services include remedial technology applicability evaluation, design and performance of remedial technology pilot testing, and design/construction cost estimating.
• Preparation of Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) specifying remedial excavation/site restoration, volatilization technologies including groundwater extraction and treatment, soil vapor extraction, air sparging, dual phase extraction, and combination systems. Additional capabilities also include design, installation and operation of active and passive NAPL recovery systems, design and operation of in-situ biological remedial techniques including bioventing, biosparging, and enhanced natural attenuation methods. LandScience is also capable of applying other innovative remedial technologies including ultra-violet and ozone treatment.
