In addition to construction of the remedy, this work assignment will include necessary operation and maintenance of the treatment facility for the first year, and monitoring of the performance of this remedy. The contractor will utilize the completed final remedial design as the basis for implementation of the remedial action to achieve the remediation goals specified in the Record of Decision.
