Table 3-1. Activities Associated with RCRA Facility Investigations (Concluded)<br />

Investigation<br />

Activities Activity Elements Key Points and References<br />

Evaluate data and<br />

report results<br />

Determine data gaps<br />

Conduct a subsequent<br />

data collection<br />

program based on<br />

data needs identified<br />

in the initial phase<br />

Compare analytical results to<br />

appropriate background<br />

conditions<br />

Evaluate potential for intermedia<br />

contaminant transport<br />

Characterize site conditions and<br />

assess contaminant distribution<br />

Compare results to health and<br />

environmental criteria<br />

Present and summarize results in a<br />

factual manner<br />

Evaluate need to collect additional<br />

samples within study area<br />

Evaluate need to collect additional<br />

samples outside of study area<br />

Add or delete constituents of<br />

concern<br />

Collect additional samples<br />

Analyze samples for selected<br />

constituents<br />

Determine presence of site contamination with<br />

reference to background (1,5,6,7,10,11,13)<br />

Determine effects of environmental conditions on<br />

deeper soil, groundwater, surface water, and air within<br />

or downgradient of study area<br />

Use transport models if applicable (1,9,12)<br />

Evaluate site contamination by using statistics, kriging,<br />

creating plume maps, and graphics useful for<br />

interpretation. Appropriateness and applicability of<br />

software usage should be in line with EPA and<br />

regulatory guidelines. (3,5,9,10,11,12,13)<br />

Conduct a baseline risk assessment following EPA and<br />

regulatory guidance (7)<br />

Produce a Phase I RFI report (6)<br />

Characterize additional potential sources within a study<br />

area (3,6)<br />

Characterize the potential for contaminant migration<br />

outside or downgradient of the study area (1,9,12)<br />

Evaluate whether analytes from Phase I should still be<br />

considered contaminants of concern, or should be<br />

removed from the program analyte list. (3,6)<br />

Institute EPA, regulatory, and client-specific protocol<br />

and procedures (1,11,12)<br />

Use EPA or client-specified laboratory and analytical<br />

protocol (2)<br />

Evaluate data and report results Produce a site investigation or RFI report (6)<br />
