For monitored natural attenuation, any necessary RA components, such as
monitoring wells, are constructed;
(4)
If the OU addresses media other than groundwater, construction activities are

(3)
A final inspection is conducted;
(4)
Institutional or engineering controls, such as containment (if applicable), are in

The final RA report includes the information described in Chapter 4 of this guide.
d.
