Optimization Potential Questionnaire
#	Questions	Responses
1	Have remedial alternatives other than pump and treat been ruled out as potential alternatives or additions to the remedial strategy?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
2	Have regulatory drivers or exposure scenario changed and is pump and treat necessary to achieve the revised RAOs?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
3	” Is the CSM for the site current with respect to any of the following: – New/Different COPCs/COCs – Presence/absence of NAPL – Reduced or increased source mass – New source(s) (on-site or upgradient) – New or significantly changed plume characteristics (location, extent, morphology, bulk plume behavior/metrics/stability) – Contaminant fate and transport (COPC/COC concentrations, mass transport properties, biodegradation rates, diffusion-back-diffusion; etc.) – Hydrogeologic conditions (groundwater elevations; flow direction, gradient, horizontal and/or vertical components of gradient; gaining/losing stream conditions) – Receptors (private, municipal, and/or industrial water supply wells) – Potential exposure pathways”	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
4	Are the flow rates, concentrations, pressures, drawdown, etc. consistent with the values expected in design?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
5	Is the system currently achieving ROD objectives (i.e. source reduction or containment )	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
6	For mass recovery remedies, has optimization been conducted to maximize recovery rates?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
7	For cases where all source areas have been defined and eliminated/isolated from downgradient portion of plume, is the downgradient portion of plume on track for ROD restoration RAOs?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
8	For cases where all source(s) have not been defined or have not been eliminated/isolated from downgradient portion of plume, is the downgradient portion of plume on track for ROD restoration RAOs?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
9	(For Superfund Sites): Is the anticipated transition from EPA to state ownership (or federal ownership to state/private ownership) of the project more than 10 years from now, or if less, has the remedy been declared Operational and Functional (O&F)?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
10	For mass recovery remedies, are unit costs for recovered mass acceptable to operators and regulators?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
11	All other technical considerations aside, are estimated, current or projected costs of the system acceptable to all stakeholders and sustainable for the life cycle of the project?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
12	Have remedy O&M costs been decreasing?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
13	Has an independent review of operating costs and performance been performed?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
14	Is the pump and treat system operation consistently compliant with applicable permits and requirements?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
15	Is the pump and treat system operating safely and without health and safety incidents?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
16	Is the equipment well maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended O&M procedures?	Yes or N/A No/Uncertain
