VRP ChecklistSite Characterization
Presented by:Chris Evans – VRP Project OfficerRob Timmins – VRP Project OfficerWilliam Lindsay – VRP Project OfficerKyle Newman – Risk Assessor
Work To Be Performed• Site Characterization
– Consistent with Conceptual Site Model– Consider lines of evidence– Complete and accurate delineation of the nature and extent of
contamination• Onsite and offsite
– DEQ recognizes the challenges of offsite characterization and determining resulting risk
– A complete and well prepared & presented SCR significantly helps us during review• You know the site well, we don’t• Detailed and up to date plans, maps, and drawings can present a lot of
information quickly– Helps us better understand a site about which we know little– Helps reduce questions resulting in much less extensive comment letters
» Shortens the overall time, which we all want
– We use the checklist as a tool
