Using Dynamic Field Activities for On-Site Decision Making: A Guide for Project Managers

摘要

Dynamic field activities are contaminated site work that combine on-site data generation with on-site decision making. The term 'dynamic' is used because these field activities are designed to incorporate changes as new information is obtained, thus, accommodating the iterative nature of field work. Their successful implementation necessitates using systematic planning, dynamic work plans, and rapid analytical results. The primary purpose of this guidance is to provide contaminated site project managers with an overview of the information they need to oversee the effective implementation of dynamic field activities at their sites. Additionally, the guidance should help educate other key decision-makers (e.g., relevant U.S. EPA personnel, contractors, other federal and state agencies, and potentially responsible parties) about their roles in implementing this process.
