| Short description: |
This technical guide describes the use of “smart
scoping” practices during any phase of a
Superfund remedial investigation’s project life
cycle or in accordance with other similar federal,
state or tribal regulatory authorities. Use of
these practices can support the development of
a robust conceptual site model (CSM), which, in
turn, helps improve response action
development, selection and implementation.
Smart scoping integrates adaptive management and site characterization. Adaptive management is an approach
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expanding to help ensure informed decision-making and the
expenditure of limited resources go hand-in-hand throughout the remedial process.
