CHAPTER 11
REMOVAL DESIGN
11-1. Introduction.
a. This chapter provides information on the removal design process that occurs prior to the
removal action phase of an OE response action. The OE Design Center is responsible for the
removal design in coordination with the PM.
b. Instead of completing a formal removal design, USACE typically performs the tasks
associated with removal design during the development of the SOW, Work Plan and ESS for the
removal action. The level of detail for the removal design phase is dependent on the complexity
of the work to be performed and the type of contract to be utilized.
c. The purpose of the removal design process is to describe the technical details of how
the removal action will be performed. The removal design process includes the following
components, which are illustrated in Figure 11-1 and discussed below:
(1) Preparation of the removal action SOW and IGE.
(2) Completion of a site visit to gather additional information on the nature and extent of
contamination at the site.
(3) Preparation of planning documentation (e.g., Work Plan, SSHP, and ESS) and
completion of all coordination tasks prior to the Notice-to-Proceed for the removal action.
11-2. Preparation of the Removal Action Scope of Work and Independent Government Estimate.
The OE Design Center is responsible for executing and approving the OE removal action SOW
and IGE. SOW and IGE preparation and quality excellence will be accomplished through the
conscientious, cooperative efforts of each design team member. The district reviews the SOW
and IGE and provides comments and written concurrence or non-concurrence.
a. Removal Action SOW.
(1) The OE removal action SOW must comply with the approved Action Memorandum for
the project. The OE project team will manage the preparation of the SOW and ensure that all
applicable technical disciplines are appropriately involved. Project safety is a primary concern
during OE removal design and execution. The removal action SOW must be closely coordinated
with the project OE Safety Specialists.
