Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives. The objective of this task is to provide a process for the first step in cleanup planning through the development of Analysis of Xxxxxxxxxx Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA). At a minimum, the ABCA will include a site description and detailed description of contamination (i.e., exposure pathways, contaminant sources, types and levels of contamination, etc.), cleanup standards, and applicable laws. The ABCA must also discuss alternatives considered (at least two, evaluated in terms of effectiveness, implementability and cost) and the proposed cleanup plan. The ABCA document must go out for public comment for at least 30 days prior to beginning cleanup. The ABCA will also be reviewed by XXXX’s VCP project manager prior to making the document available for public comment to ensure that the cleanup plans will ultimately be acceptable to the State. The Coalition’s selected environmental consultant shall have be the lead for this task with considerable input through the public education and outreach process. The budget for this subtask is included in section 2.
Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives. For a limited number of priority properties, and following the completion of a site assessment, an ABCA will be prepared. The ABCA will summarize, at a minimum, the following information: site description and contamination (i.e., exposure pathways, contaminant sources, types and levels of contamination, etc.); cleanup standards; and applicable laws. The ABCA also will discuss alternatives considered (at least two, evaluated in terms of effectiveness, implementability and cost) and the proposed cleanup plan. Evaluation of cleanup effectiveness will include consideration of sustainable cleanup practices that support such things as the incorporation of renewable energy technologies and/or reduced emissions of toxic and greenhouse gases. The ABCA will go out for public comment prior to beginning cleanup (typically 30 days). Prior to making the document available for public comment, it will be reviewed by the ODEQ project manager to ensure that the cleanup plans will ultimately be acceptable to the ODEQ.

Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives. An Analysis of Xxxxxxxxxx Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) typically includes sections describing the background and current conditions of the site (maps, previous uses, assessment findings, reuse goals), applicable regulations and cleanup standards, an evaluation of cleanup alternatives and a recommended remedial action. EJScreen, or the Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool, is a tool from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that highlights areas with potential environmental burdens and vulnerable populations. It combines environmental and demographic data to create environmental justice (EJ) indexes and supplemental indexes.
Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives. (ABCA) The City of Ponderay will prepare a cleanup plan for IDEQ’s VCP, called a Voluntary Remediation Work Plan (VRWP). The VRWP equals an ABCA required under the cooperative agreement workplan for this grant. The VRWP will discuss up to four alternatives in terms of effectiveness, long-term reliability, implementability, implementation risk and cost. In completing the VRWP the City of • ASTM International Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups (ASTM E2893-16e1); • EPA Principles for Greener Cleanup website xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/greenercleanups ; and • EPA’s Clu-In Green Remediation website xxxxx://xxx-xx.xxx/greenremediation/ .
Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives. This will consist of an Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA). The ABCA will summarize the following: site description and contamination (i.e., exposure pathways, contaminant sources, types and levels of contamination, etc.); cleanup standards; and applicable laws. The ABCA will also discuss at least two alternatives considered and evaluated in terms of effectiveness, implementability and cost, and then recommend a proposed cleanup plan. The evaluation of alternatives should also consider the resilience of the remedial options in light of reasonably foreseeable changing climate conditions (e.g., sea level rise, increased frequency and intensity of flooding and/or extreme weather events, etc.). The alternatives may additionally consider the degree to which they reduce greenhouse gas discharges, reduce energy use or employ alternative energy sources, reduce volume of wastewater generated/disposed, reduce volume of materials taken to landfills, and recycle and re-use materials generated during the cleanup process to the maximum extent practicable. The evaluation will include an analysis of reasonable alternatives including no action. The ABCA will be reviewed by the Oregon VCP project manager prior to making the document available for public comment to help ensure that the cleanup plans will be acceptable to the State. The ABCA will then be distributed for public comment 30 days prior to beginning cleanup as outlined in the pre-award community notification and public involvement sections of this work plan. City staff and the EC will also provide technical assistance to property owners and local jurisdictions on the purchase, cleanup, and redevelopment of xxxxxxxxxx sites providing them with information and connecting them to the appropriate resources including the Oregon Economic and Community Development Revolving Loan Fund and Oregon Brownfields Fund, and Brownfields Cleanup Grants. The project manager will manage the contract with the EC to complete this work and communicate with the EPA Project Officer to receive any additional guidance needed on this topic. The costs are budgeted for in the work plan within the $79,054 to cover the remediation and redevelopment work on approximately two sites to be completed through a contract with an EC. The cooperative work agreement work plan budget reflects $10,000 to cover oversight costs incurred through Oregon DEQ involvement on any cleanup planning work undertaken by the grant.
