Remedy Construction - Remedy Constructed

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-023777

1. The event when the State of EPA acknowledges in writing that the RCRA facility has completed construction of a facility's remedy that was designed to achieve long-term protection of human health and the environment and that the remedy is fully functional as designed, whether or not final cleanup levels or other requirements have been achieved. Remedy construction may also acknowledge the event where no remedy is constructed.

2. This event code applies when 1) construction of the remedy(ies) have been completed or 2) the Remedy Decision and Response to Comments or other appropriate decision document indicates that no physical construction of a remedy has been needed since site characterization activities began or no construction is necessary beyond what has been implemented prior to the remedy decision as in the case of stabilization measures.

3. Remedy Construction for comprehensive remedies that address the entire facility (including off-site migration of contaminants) must be linked to the "Entire Facility" area. Phased or partial remedies are to be attached to specific area of implementation and not to the "Entire Facility" area.

4. The status code RC (Remedy Constructed) applies after the actual date of the CA400-Remedy Decision when either: 1) all necessary physical construction of the last corrective measure has been completed and all remedial systems are fully functional as designed, whether or not final cleanup levels or other requirements have been achieved, or 2) if all necessary physical construction of all remedial systems is fully functional as designed as a result of stabilization measures implemented prior to the actual date of the CA400-Remedy Decision whether or not final cleanup levels or other requirements have been achieved.
