- Abstract
- The Remedial Action Assessment System (RAAS), a computer-based decision support system currently under development at Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories, was presented with an emphasis on expanding the capabilities of the software. RAAS is being developed to provide the benefits of decision support software to Superfund decision makers. The first version of RAAS focuses on automating the process of screening remediation technologies for their applicability at a hazardous waste site. Four specific contributions to RAAS development were made: three remediation technologies to be included in the RAAS technology database were described; methods to include technology screening based on applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) were discussed; criteria to extend the RAAS technology screening procedure to include discrimination based on effectiveness and implementability were developed; and a procedure to validate RAAS output against the work of environment consultants was presented. When fully implemented, RAAS has the potential to both expedite and standardize the Superfund remedy selection process.
