Agenda Register Environmental Site Investigations Summarizes federal legislation, standard protocols, and practical approaches for establishing the nature and extent of soil and ground water contamination, liability associated therewith, and remediation requirements for sites potentially subject to transfer from public to private ownership or vice versa, or from private to another private ownership. The EIA process may need to be applied in such transfers. Substantive topics to be addressed include an overview of site characterization, Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, selection criteria for sampling locations, soil boring and well installation and development, sampling procedures, and data interpretation and evaluation.
