Groundwater Remedy Optimization Progress Report: 2010 - 2011
OSWER 9283.1-38, published July 2012
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary and analysis of progress toward implementation of the site-specific recommendations resulting from independent optimization reviews at Superfund sites. The report summarizes successful implementation strategies, opportunities for improvement, barriers to implementation, and changes in project costs as a result of optimization. This summary report describes implementation of optimization recommendations during calendar years 2010 and 2011 at the 24 sites that have been subject to tracking. The report contains updated information for 14 sites where implementation has continued since the last summary report, as well as 10 sites subject to a more recent review which are being reported for the first time.

Groundwater Pump and Treat Systems: Summary of Selected Cost and Performance Information at Superfund-financed Sites
542-R-01-021a,b, published November 2001
This report summarizes Phase I (the data collection phase) of the Nationwide Fund-lead Pump and Treat Optimization Project. This phase included contacting a project liaison for each of the EPA Regions, identifying the Fund-lead pump-and-treat (P&T) systems in each Region, collecting baseline information about each system through a web-based questionnaire or phone interview, and selecting a total of 20 Fund-lead systems to receive RSEs. Four of the 20 P&T systems (two in Region 4 and two in Region 5) were previously selected and evaluated as part of a demonstration project completed in 2000.

The purpose of this National Strategy (Strategy) is to expand and formalize optimization practices from site assessment to site completion as an operating business model for the Superfund Remedial Program (Remedial Program). This Strategy fulfills Action 10 of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Integrated Cleanup Initiative (ICI): "Opportunities to Provide Greater Support in Optimizing Cleanup of Superfund Sites".
Pilot Project to Optimize Superfund-financed Pump and Treat Systems: Summary Report and Lessons Learned
EPA 542-R-02-008a-u, November 2002
This report summarizes Phase II (the evaluation phase) of the Nationwide Fund-lead Pump and Treat Optimization Project. This phase included conducting RSEs at 20 sites during 2000 and 2001. This report also discussions lessons learned from conducting those 20 RSEs. The summary report and all 20 RSEs can be viewed directly or downloaded from this website.
