DEC oversight ensures that the construction meets all the requirements of the approved design. No work is performed at a site until DEC has approved the workplan. Oversight consists of two types - office and field. Office oversight includes the review, evaluation and comment on all submittals, reports, data, etc. generated by remedial activities. Field oversight is site-dependent and includes consent order requirements, construction according to approved plan, public health and environmental concerns, public sensitivity and the potential for pollutant migration.
Final inspection ensures that all aspects of the design have been met by the construction.
Acceptance of the remedial work signals the next step in the remedial program - site reclassification. Sites are often reclassified after remedial construction. Site reclassification signals the conclusion of the remedial construction. Operation and Maintenance may be included in the remedial program.
