005: Roundtable: Risk-Based Approaches to Environmental Remediation and Adaptive Site Management (R7.3)

4 Articles
1/2 Panel Session
This panel centered on the recent updates to the EM/LM technical targets, linking needs associated with technical (e.g., next generation modeling, advances in monitoring and characterization) and non-technical (e.g., project risk, stakeholder engagement) targets that provide a basis for risk reduction and adaptive site management. This includes remedy approaches, remediation exit strategies, and long-term monitoring plans that support risk-based end-states for difficult-to-remediate sites.
Track 8 - Communications, Education and Training

006: Panel: Best Practices in Project Communications (R8.3)

3 Articles
1/2 Panel Session
This panel focused on a sustainable, holistic and integrated approach to structure nuclear waste management, disposal and remediation decisions. This panel had participation from internal and external stakeholders and demonstrated use of tools and techniques to effectively communicate factors that inform decisions. The desired outcome was to effectively communicate how risk is evaluated at complex sites, highlight holistic site level approaches that are protective of human health and the environment, and incorporate policy and technical concerns related to achieving alternative end points. This discussion included existing decision-making tools in conjunction with case studies.

3 Articles
Full Panel Session
This panel provided the perspectives of EPA staff with key roles in overseeing DOE federal facility NPL sites. Federal facility sites currently have about half of the total remedy decisions of entire Superfund program of sites on the National Priorities List (NPL). This is a mature cleanup program and these sites have complex issues remaining, and expensive remedies. Site specific decision making allows for flexibility, but can present consistency challenges. Remedy decisions should be based on risk and anticipated land use, and communities and stakeholders that live around the sites have a voice in the remedy decision.
