A Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) is the first step in assessing the potential for contamination to be present on a Site. A PSI involves gathering historical information about the site, conducting visual inspections, and if required, performing initial environmental sampling to identify any areas of concern. The purpose of a PSI is to assess the overall environmental condition of the Site and determine whether further investigation (such as a Detailed Site Investigation) is necessary.
A Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) is a comprehensive investigation of a site following a PSI. The purpose of a DSI is to thoroughly assess the extent and nature of contamination identified during the PSI. This includes more extensive soil, groundwater, and potentially air sampling compared to a PSI with the objective being to delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of contamination. This investigation provides detailed information necessary to evaluate the risks associated with the site and to develop effective remediation strategies.
A Remedial Action Plan (RAP) serves as the detailed road-map for managing site contamination based on the comprehensive analysis provided by the DSI. The RAP provides detailed strategies tailored to the specific contamination issues identified during the DSI. The plan details the steps necessary for implementing the remediation strategies and outlines the process for monitoring the effectiveness of the remediation efforts and includes validation criteria to confirm that the site has been successfully remediated.
