Question
When should the Triad be applied?
 
Answer

Systematic project planning should always be applied when tackling characterization and cleanup projects at hazardous waste sites. Dynamic work strategies can also be used throughout the characterization and remediation process, but offer the most benefit during the design and implementation of cleanup actions. Real-time measurement technologies can also be implemented throughout all portions of the cleanup process, from initial investigation through remediation and into long term monitoring.

While the greatest benefits accrue from implementing the Triad as early as possible in the characterization and cleanup process, there are also benefits produced by integrating the Triad into ongoing characterization or remediation activities. For example, although a traditional approach may have been taken during the early stages of site characterization, the Triad may be implemented during further characterization activities, or to expedite and improve site remediation.
