(4) Conclusion of the TCRA. Following the completion of the removal action tasks,
which are discussed in Chapters 11 and 12 of this pamphlet, the TCRA is concluded with the
preparation and approval of a Project Completion Memorandum or a Finding of Suitability to
Transfer (FOST). The FOST is discussed in Chapter 17 of this pamphlet.
(5) Administrative Record. Because of the exigent nature of a TCRA, the Administrative
Record does not need to be available prior to the implementation of the removal action.
However, the Administrative Record must be available within 60 days of initiation of fieldwork.
Since a formal EE/CA is not prepared during a TCRA, careful records must be maintained.
Additional information on the Administrative Record will be published in EP 1110-3-8.
e. Non-Time Critical Removal Actions.
(1) NTCRAs are actions initiated in response to a release or threat of a release that poses a
risk to human health or the environment where more than six months planning time is available.
There are several formal steps required to execute a NTRCA. These steps include:
(a) Preliminary assessment of eligibility to determine property and project eligibility.
(b) Site inspection to confirm the presence of OE at the site.
(c) EE/CA investigation to evaluate the site and risk, identify and evaluate removal
alternatives, and select a removal action.
(d) Removal design to plan for the implementation of the removal action.
(e) Removal action.
(f) Project completion.
(2) The NTCRA process is illustrated in Figure 5-2. Each phase of the NTCRA process is
discussed in detail in Chapters 6 through 17 of this pamphlet.
(3) During the NTCRA process, a TCRA may be conducted due to the discovery of an
imminent danger. As shown in Figure 5-2, a TCRA may be initiated during the following phases
of a NTCRA: preliminary assessment of eligibility, site inspection, EE/CA, or NTCRA.
Following the completion of the TCRA, the NTCRA will resume.
(4) As illustrated in Figure 5-2, a decision of No DOD Action Indicated (NDAI) may be
reached during the NTCRA process at the conclusion of the preliminary assessment of eligibility,
site inspection, or EE/CA phases. At any time during the OE response process, the OE project
team, in consultation with the OC supporting the OE MCX, may propose that a removal action
be conducted based on site-specific circumstances. If the removal action will be conducted with
