Military Munitions Support Services - Life of a CSM: Concept to Response Complete
Sponsored by: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Archived: Wednesday, March 23, 2022
This series will explore the development and use of a CSM throughout the remedial response process. Special emphasis will be placed on using the CSM as a mechanism for systematic project planning and acquisition from Remedial Investigation through Remedial Action. Presentations will address lessons learned, best practices, and data needs for characterization, risk assessment, alternatives development, cost estimating, and contracting.
