Remedial Action Plan (RAP)

A Remedial Action Plan (RAP) is a detailed plan for cleaning up contamination at a site and restoring it to a safe and usable condition. The plan typically includes a description of the contamination, including its type, extent, and potential impacts on human health and the environment. It also includes a discussion of the remediation goals and objectives, as well as the specific technologies and methods that will be used to achieve them. The RAP may include a timeline for implementation, a budget for the remediation activities, and a plan for long-term monitoring and maintenance of the site. The plan is typically developed by an environmental consultant or engineer, in consultation with the site owner, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders. It must be approved by the appropriate regulatory agency before implementation, and may be subject to public review and comment. The RAP is an important tool for ensuring that contaminated sites are cleaned up in a timely, effective, and cost-efficient manner, while protecting public health and the environment.
