Process Section -- CAIP Block Descriptor -- CAIP Definition of the Process Step DOE will develop and prepare the Corrective Action Investigation Plan (CAIP). The CAIP will be prepared in accordance with the FFACO and Data Quality Objective (DQO) Process. The CAIP will meet the informational requirements of the "Annotated Outline for UGTA Corrective Action Investigation Plan," which includes a description of the CAU, a summary of the DQO process results, the proposed Corrective Action Investigation (CAI), and a description of and rationale for any planned field investigations. The description of the CAU will include the investigative background which contains a summary of historical data and previous studies, operational history, physical setting, contaminants of concern, and a conceptual model of the CAU that will be proved or disproved by the CAI. The DQO process results provide problem identification, relate the conceptual model with contaminant migration scenarios, and the investigations aimed at satisfying the DQOs. The proposed CAI provides the plans for the conduct of the investigation that will be carried out, and the details of field investigations and data collection and data analysis activities identified as necessary to better model the physical system. The CAU-scale flow and contaminant transport modeling will also be planned and developed in the CAI, including the modeling steps, flow and transport code selection, and flow model calibration and verification. During the development of the CAIP, DOE will meet with and update NDEP. NDEP will then be given the opportunity to review the draft version of the CAIP and identify any deficiencies. Field investigations, data collections, and analyses identified during the development of the CAIP as part of the Corrective Action Investigation will not be initiated without NDEP approval. |
