Work Plan
Develop a work plan describing anticipated cleanup activities before beginning on-site response actions.
The Work Plan should be periodically reexamined and updated as new information about site conditions is obtained.
The following steps should be taken in formulating a comprehensive Work Plan:
- Review available information, including:
- site records,
- waste inventories,
- generator and transporter manifests,
- previous sampling and monitoring data,
- site photos, and
- state and local environmental and health agency records.
- Define work objectives.
- Determine methods for accomplishing the objectives (e.g., sampling plan, inventory, disposal techniques).
- Determine personnel requirements.
- Determine the need for additional training of personnel. Evaluate their current knowledge/skill level against the tasks they will perform and situations they may encounter.
- Determine equipment requirements. Evaluate the need for special equipment or services, such as drilling equipment or heavy equipment and operators.
Preparing the Work Plan requires a multidisciplinary approach including input from all levels of on-site and off-site management. Consultants may be useful in developing sections of the Work Plan; for example, chemists, occupational health and safety professionals, and statisticians may be needed to develop the sampling plan.
