This assessment may include:
1)
Evaluation
of
the
magnitude
of
the
hazard;
2)
Identification of
the source and nature of the
release;
3)
Determination
of
the existence
of
a non—State

A
major
objective
of
an
inspection is to
deter-
mine
if
there
is
any
immediate danger
te:
per-
sons
living
or
working
near
the facility.
In
general,
the
collection
of
samples
should
be
minimized
during
inspection
activities;
how-
ever,
situations
in which there
is
an apparent
risk
to
the
public should
be
treated
as
excep-
tions
to
that
practice.
Examples
of
apparent
risk
include
use
of
nearby
wells
for
drinking
water,
citizen
complaints
of
unusual
taste
or
odor
in
drinking
water,
or
chemical
odors
or
unusual
health
problems in the vicinity
of
the
release,
Under
those
circumstances, a
sampling
protocol
should
he
developed for the
inspection
to
allow
for
the
earliest possible detection
of
any
human
exposure
to
hazardous
substances,
The site inspection may also address:
A)
Determining
the
need for immediate
removal
action;
B)
Assessing
amounts,
t~es and
location
of
hazardous
substances
stored;
C)
Assessing
potential
for
substances
to
migrate
from
areas
where
they
were
originally
located;
D)

may
be
grouped
on
the
State

3)
IEPA shall publish a proposed State Priorities
List
in
the
Illinois
Register
for
public
comment.
4)
IEPA
shall
revise
and

listed.
Section 750.450
Phase V——Planned Removal
a)
Planned
removal
may
be
undertaken
pursuant
to
a
contract
or
cooperative
agreement
when
the
IEPA
determines
that:
1)
There
would
be
a
substantial
cost
savings
by
continuing
a
response
action
with
the
equipment
and
resources
mobilized
for
an
iediate
re-
moval action taken pursuant to Section 750.420,
but terminated pursuant to Section 750.420(c);
or
2)
The public and/or
environment
will be at risk
from
exposure
to
hazardous
substances
if
response
is
delayed at a release not on the
State Priorities List.
b)
Among
the
factors that IEPA will use to determine
whether
a
planned
removal
is
appropriate
under
Section
750.450(a)(2)
are
the followings
1)
Actual
or
potential

and
determine,
based
on
the
factors
in
Section
750.466
of
this
section,
the
type
or
types
of
remedial
response
that
may
be
needed
to remedy the
release,
This
scoping
will
serve
as the basis
for
requestinq

for
a
remedial
investigation and
feasibility
study:
1)
In
the
case
of
initial
remedial
measures,
a
single
request
may
be
made
by
IEPA
for
funding
the
remedial
investigation,
feasibility
study,
design
and
implementation,
in
order
that
suc.h
measures
may
be
expedited
while
continuing
the
remainder
of
the
remadial
planning
process;
2)
In
the
case
of
source
control
or
off—site
remedial
action,
the
initial
funding
request
should
be
for
the
remedial
investigation
and
feasibility
study.
Request
~for
funding
of
design
and
implementation
should
be
made
after
the
completion
of
the
feasibility
study.
b)
As
a
remedial
investigation
progresses,
the
project
may
be
modified
if
the
IEPA
determines
that,
based
on
the
factors
in
subsection

of
remedial action,
the
following
factors
should
be
used
to
determine
the
type
or
types of
remedial
action
that
may
be
appropriate:
a)
In some
instances,
initial
remedial
measures
can
and
should
begin
before
final
selection
of
an appro-
priate
remedial
action
if
such measures are deter-
mined to be feasible and necessary to limit exposure
or
threat
of
exposure
to
a
significant
health
or
environmental hazard and
if such measures are cost—
effective,
Compliance
with Section 750,450(b)
is
a
prerequisite
to
taking
initial
remedial
measures.
The following factors should be used
in determining
whether
initial
remedial

situations
it
may
be
appropriate
to
take
action
(referred
to
as
off—site
remedial
actions)
to
minimize
and
mitigate the migration
of
hazardous

and
the
effects
of such migration,
Theses

may
not
effectively
mitigate
and
minimize
the
threat
and
there
is
a
significant threat to public health,

ment.
These
situations typically will
result from contamina-
tion
that
has
migrated
beyond
the

be
considered:
a)
Contribution
of

party
will
be developing
a clean~upproposal)
to determine the nature and extent of the
problem presented by the

and
includes
the
gathering
of

based
on
the
factors
in
Sections

a)
Cost,
For each alternative,
the cost of installing
or
implementing
the
remedial
action
must
be
considered,
including
operation
and
maintenance
costs.
An alternative that
far exceeds
(e.g. by an
order of magnitude)
the costs
of other alternatives
evaluated
and
that
does
not provide
substantially

b)
Effects
of
the
Alternative:
1)
The
effects
of
each
alternative
should
be
evaluated
in two ways:
A)
Whether
the
alternative
itself
or
its
implementation
has
any
adverse

remedial
actions,
whether
the
alternative
is
likely
to

whether
the
alternative
is
likely
to
effectively
mitigate
and
minimize
the
threat
of
harm
to

2)
If
an
alternative
has
significant
adverse
effects,
it
should
be
excluded
from
further
consideration,
Only
those
alternatives
that
effectively
contribute
to
protection
of
public
