Shoreline Cleanup Assessment : Pre-inspection Endpoint Assessment and Final Inspections

With completion of the initial SCAT survey, the SCAT teams have been renamed the Pre-inspection Endpoint Status assessment Team (PEST) and are conducting helo-supported post-treatment inspections of segments prior to landowner inspections. The PEST teams verify that cleanup operations were successful in achieving the established cleanup criteria. If additional cleanup is deemed necessary, the team will recommend appropriate additional measures. State and Federal field monitors, together with contractor cleanup managers meet with the teams during inspections to insure discrepancies are corrected. A final inspection team of Unified Command and landowner representatives will then visit each cleaned segment and forward their recommendations to the Unified Command for consideration towards final UC approval of the cleanup on that segment.

Status

All SCAT surveys of the 806 shoreline segments were completed on June 16, 2005. Based on additional shoreline inspections and a review of safety issues, the UC approved 21 segments to be removed from treatment consideration when the assessment teams found the segments met endpoint criteria and/or the segments had access and safety concerns. This leaves a total of 102 segments approved by the UC to be treated.
