Impact/Purpose:
This presentation outlines the method and results of a contaminated wetland remediation prioritization exercise using the ORD/CESER decision support tool DASEES. EPA/600/X-19/200
Description:
When contamination from Superfund site sources is broadly dispersed in the environment, selecting locations for remedy implementation pursuant to the Record of Decision (ROD) requires consideration of input from a wide audience of stakeholders. The site Remedial Project Manager (RPM) is required to understand and communicate the decision process, with little support, for transparently documenting how both technical and community values-based factors are considered in the prioritization of sites for remedial action. This report describes how the application of structured decision-making (SDM), through the Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) decision-support tool DASEES, can be used by the site RPM to capture factors necessary for consideration when developing an Adaptive Site Management (ASM) approach.
