  6. Proposed Remedial Alternatives OU-1 Alternative 1 Summary Alternative 1:  Required No Action  Establishes a baseline to compare the other alternatives Alternative 2:  Ensure a minimum 1 ft to 2 ft of existing soil cover over the Optimized Soil Cover buried waste  Conduct a landfill cover verification investigation  LF-03: Stabilize slope along North Run embankment Alternative 3:  Install a 2-ft soil cover over the waste, regardless of existing 2 Foot (ft) Soil Cover soil cover  Prevents direct contact of buried waste, does not prevent infiltration of stormwater through waste  Clear cut forests at both sites to prepare for cap installation  LF-03: Stabilize slope along North Run embankment Alternative 4:  Install a 2-ft thick RCRA Subtitle D Cover RCRA Subtitle D Landfill  Typical landfill cover with impermeable layers Cover  Prevents infiltration of stormwater  LF-03: Stabilize slope along North Run embankment 1 Only the substantively different aspects of the proposed alternatives are discussed 37

  24. OU-1 Use of a Presumptive Remedy Question: What is a presumptive remedy Answer: Preferred technologies for common categories of sites (e.g., landfills)  Presumptive remedies streamline the remedy selection process (i.e., removal not considered as an option)  Evaluates technologies that are best suited for the site  Ensures consistent selection of remedial actions  Landfill sites must exhibit “appropriate” characteristics for applicability of a presumptive remedy (e.g., type of waste, volume, low risks/hazards) 55
