RCRA facility investigation

RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) - site characterization and pre-investigation identification of possible containment/treatment technologies ... 

Where there is an imminent threat to human health and the environment, as well as in some nonemergency situations, the regulatory agency may ascertain that a response is appropriate prior to the completion of the RCRA Facility Investigation or the Corrective Measures Study. Hence, the decision for interim measures can be made based on the immediacy as well as the magnitude of the potential threat to human health or the environment the nature of appropriate Corrective Action the implications of deferring Corrective Action until the RCRA Facility Investigation and Corrective Measure Study is complete and other factors. 

If the RFA or other information has indicated a release of hazardous constituents, then from the owner/operator s perspective, the Corrective Action process truly begins. The first step in the process, the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI), is directed toward development of the engineering information about the site necessary to permit selection and evaluation of remedial alternatives. The main engineering thrust of the RFI is the characterization of site conditions by defining the nature and extent of the problem.

All the currently available information for the 100-N Area sources is discussed below. No data concerning unplanned releases are available from before 1973, but releases probably did occur. All historical records are being reviewed as part of the source record compilation task, as discussed in Chapter 5 of the RCRA Facility Investigation/Corrective Measures Study Uork Plan for the lOO-HR-l Operable Unit, Hanford Site, Richland, Washington (DOE-RL 1990). If additional information becomes available for any of the sources or unplanned releases, it will be incorporated in the RFI/CNS as appropriate. At present, no cleanup Invels have been negotiated for the unplanned releases.
