The Remedial Monitoring Transmittal Form is intended for use at sites that are operating active remedial treatment systems. The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the issues and concerns surrounding the operation and monitoring of remedial systems, explain the background and rationale used in the development and preparation of this Form, and request specific feedback on the utility of this form.
Remedial operations present an especially challenging element of a privatized program.
A poorly executed site assessment may result in potential, long-term, chronic risks to pollutant receptors. Under current MCP requirements, reports on remedial activities conducted as IRAs, RAMs, and URAMs are provided by means of status reports that are submitted every 6 months. There are no specifications on the manner in which the monitoring data must be presented. The problem is that breakdowns at privatized sites are often not being corrected in a timely fashion. Additionally, many of these systems are not being monitored properly, even when they are operational.
