Brief Description of Document
The Case Inventory Document (CID) is a concise summary of all areas of concern (AOCs) and major case components
that serve to form the basis for remedial decisions. The person responsible for conducting the remediation shall develop
and submit the CID with each remedial phase report and Direct Oversight Documents. The tracking of AOCs and major
case components allows for the person responsible for conducting the remediation and the Department of Environmental
Protection (Department) to:
- efficiently track the progress of all AOCs from identification to issuance of a final remediation document (i.e.,
Remedial Action Outcome (RAO), No Further Action letters (NFAs), etc.), in one easily identified section of the
technical reports;
- review a summary of the work completed and planned at each AOC; and
- identify the current case status.
This tracking process allows for the snapshot review of remedial efforts. |
