FIGURE 12 -11 A network diagram and schedule may be used to help manage the many activities for a hazardous site remediation project. More than 1 year is typically needed for investigation and planning before cleanup and confinement work can actually begin. Additional borings, sampling, and testing activities are frequently required throughout the project to accurately define the limits of soil, sediment, and groundwater contamination.
