The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) developed the Technical Project Planning (TPP) process to improve planning activities associated with hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) site cleanup. The TPP process is an example of a Triad-consistent systematic planning process that involves four different phases of planning activities. The TPP process is meant to be initiated at the start of activities associated with a HTRW site and continue through the life-cycle of cleanup. The expectation is that the application of the TPP process will ensure that the requisite type, quality, and quantity of information are obtained to satisfy project objectives.
