What are the Stages of a Remedial Action Plan?
Each Area of Concern was charged with developing and implementing a Remedial Action Plan divided into three stages: Stage 1: Environmental Conditions and Problem Definition – This stage outlines the starting point for the Area of Concern. Stage 2: Goals, Options and Recommendations – This stage defines the remedial actions to clean up the Area of Concern. Stage 3: Evaluation of Remedial Measures and Confirmation of Restoration of Uses – This is the stage where the designation of an Area of Concern is removed when a set of environmental conditions are shown to be met. For Hamilton Harbour, this final delisting step is targeted to occur in 2015.
