LFR Levine-Fricke Criterion 8: Regulatory Agency Acceptance Alternative 1 would not be acceptable by the regulatory agencies. Alternatives 3, 4, and 5 are the most likely to be accepted by DTSC and RWQCB because they would involve actively remediating affected soil and are most likely to ensure that human health and the environment are protected. Due to the long-term environmental monitoring required for Alternatives 2 and 5, the agencies are more likely to accept Alternatives 3 and 4. The alternatives are ranked from most to least likely to be accepted by regulatory agencies: Alternative 3, 4, 5, 2, and 1. Criterion 9: Community Acceptance Alternatives 1 and 2 would likely not be accepted by the community. Alternatives 3, 4, and 5 are the most likely to be accepted by community because they would involve actively removing and/or treating affected soil and are most likely to ensure that human health and the environment are protected. Of Alternatives 3, 4, and 5, the community would likely prefer to remove the maximum amount of hazardous waste rather than attempt treatment and on-site storage. Therefore, Alternative 3 and 4 are the two most likely alternatives to be accepted by the community. The alternatives are ranked from most to least likely to be accepted by the community: Alternative 3, 4, 5, 2, and 1. Table 3 provides a summary comparison of alternatives relative to the evaluation criteria. 6.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE Alternative 3 (Excavation of Pyrolytic Oil-and Metals-Affected Soil for Off-Site Disposal)is the recommended remedial alternative. Implementation of Alternative 3 is relatively easy to implement because the hazardous material is easily identifiable and removal and off-site disposal of the waste is a practical and reliable response action. This alternative will remove the source of contamination and provide immediate short- term protection to human health and the environment and ensure a relatively high degree of long-term protection. As stated previously, this action will also simplify and expedite the comprehensive RI/FS and Final RAP. 7.0 REMEDIAL DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN This section describes the personnel and means for implementing the proposed alternative.
