Remediation Action Plan

The Remediation Action Plan (RAP) is a detailed document that outlines the strategy and methodology for managing and remediating contamination identified on a site. It defines how risks to human health and the environment will be mitigated to enable the site to be safely used for its intended purpose.

Key Components

• Remediation Strategy: Selection of appropriate remediation methods (e.g. excavation, containment, treatment).
• Scope of Works: Detailed description of the remediation activities, sequencing, and site controls.
• Environmental Controls: Measures to manage dust, vapour, groundwater, and waste during remediation.
• Validation Requirements: Criteria and testing required to confirm that remediation objectives have been achieved.

A RAP is essential for guiding remediation works, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing a clear framework for achieving site closure and development approval.
