Implementability Study Report Clause Samples
Implementability Study Report. The Implementability Study activities shall be performed concurrent with activities associated with the recontamination assessment. Specifically, the Implementability Study shall be performed to assess how the current site configuration and river dynamics (natural and anthropogenic) may impact both the selection of the remedial alternatives and the remedial design. As specified in the approved Work Plan schedule, after completion of related field activities and receipt of validated data, an Implementability Study Report shall be prepared. The objective of the Implementability Study tasks is to gain a more complete understanding of the physical, structural, and administrative (i.e., marine operations) factors that will impact the selection of a remedial alternative for the Project Area as well as its design. It is very important that these factors be understood early in the selection and design process. The Implementability Study activities shall specifically consider the following factors that affect remedy implementability, ease of construction, reliability, operation, and maintenance of the alternative; potential problems that could be encountered during the implementation of an alternative including the on-going operations of existing facilities, the implications of business disruption and lost time on potential remedy costs; the implementation limitations of completing remedial actions around the existing structures; the required approvals and permits from regulatory agencies; the availability of required off-site treatment or disposal services; and the availability of necessary equipment, materials, and personnel. After review of existing data needs, the Respondents and EPA identified the following activities to be conducted as part of this SOW to inform RM 11E remedial design, regardless of which remedy is selected by EPA: • Identify the location and types of underground utilities including fiber optics and electrical cable crossings to provide information on the practicability of certain actions in light of existing infrastructure. • Summarize current and projected in-water operations including loading and unloading activities, types of vessel traffic within the Project Area, monitoring requirements, and other operation and maintenance activities associated with the various facilities. • Summarize projected maintenance dredging operations, including private dredging at shore side terminals and dredging of the federal navigation channel. • Complete a...
