RADIAN COMPLICATION EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK This exhibit describes the tasks which will be complet- ed during the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study at the Industrial Transformers Super fund Site. o o l The tasks and the associated work scope have been prepared to satisfy the following objectives: Determine the nature and extent of PCB contamination in surface soil, sediment, and subsurface soil, Determine the nature and extent of TCE contamination of soils and ground water, Determine the nature and extent of environmental contamination from any other hazardous substance, " and Determine the range of effective remedial alterna- tives for dealing with any contamination character- ized by the investigation. Radian will furnish the personnel, materials, and services necessary to perform the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study described herein, except as otherwise noted. TASK DESCRIPTION The tasks within this scope of work fall into two broad categories, Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study. The Remedial Investigation phase includes the Preparatory Activities (100 task series) and the Site Investigation (200 task series), The 300 'task series constitutes the Feasibility Study.
