3.1.2 yublicHealth and Environmental Analysis <br /> The purpose of remedial action at a site is to rectify any <br /> existing and potential future public health and environmental <br /> effects due to compounds present at the site. Therefore, the <br /> ability of a remedial alternative to mitigate or eliminate these <br /> impacts is important. Remedial alternatives will be evaluated by <br /> considering their ability to: <br /> o Abate or minimize migration of existing or potentially <br /> impacted groundwater. <br /> o Abate or minimize existing and potential migration of <br /> compounds to air, soils, sediments, surface water, and <br /> groundwater. <br /> a Minimize any potential adverse impacts on human health, <br /> wildlife and vegetation, neighboring properties, and other <br /> sensitive populations. <br /> o Minimize any potential additional impacts to air, land, <br /> surface water, and groundwater during remedial action <br /> operations. <br /> o Prevent human access or possible physical contact with <br /> materials of concern during field activities and after site <br /> i � work is completed. <br /> 3.1.3 Institutional Analysis <br /> i <br /> The institutional factors that will be considered in the evalua- <br /> tion of remedial action alternatives include: <br /> o Acceptability by local and state regulatory agencies. <br /> o Safety of both on and off--site activities during implementa- <br /> tion of the alternatives. <br /> N. o Public perception. <br /> "- o Permits and licenses (e.g. , air or water discharge permits; <br /> construction or operations permits) . <br /> o Long-term land use. <br /> o Long-term management requirements. <br /> - 3.1.4 Cost Analysis - <br /> A remedial cleanup program must not only be technically feasible <br /> »» for addressing the environmental objectives of the remedial <br /> action, but also must be amenable to implementation in a <br /> ��. 3 - 2 <br />
