Pre RD/RA
Superfund work performed by the Respondents prior to the Remedial Design / Remedial Action includes performance of the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study from June 2003 through October 2014, the Engineering Evaluation / Cost Analysis (EE/CA) issued in 2008, the Non Time-Critical Removal Action (NTCRA) for Building demolition and removal from 2011 – September 2016, and the Groundwater NTCRA from 2016 through 2019.
Detailed information and documents from the RI/FS, EE/CA, Building NTCRA, and GW NTCRA can be found on the Pre RDRA website.
