ENV-08-12 Optimization Techniques Get More Out of Your Site Investigation Data

Description:

Optimization techniques using existing site data provide a means to determine if the current exit strategy is working, can be improved, or requires a new strategy to meet site-specific restoration goals. A tiered approach is used, starting simple and adding complexity as needed to determine the best solution. Visualizations of results are used to gain stakeholder agreement. The best solution meets site-specific requirements, has the greatest probability of stakeholder approval, and can be completed within schedule and budget requirements. As complexity increases, costs to determine and implement the optimal solution increase.
