The U.S. Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (U.S. ITRC) recently released a document entitled Geospatial Analysis for Optimization at Environmental Sites guidance (GRO-1) to help practitioners better apply geospatial analyses in environmental projects.
Geospatial analysis supports optimization activities throughout all stages of an environmental site by:
- improving performance of characterization and remediation activities;
- increasing monitoring efficiency; and
- justifying decisions at environmental sites.
The Guidance document illustrates the practical application of geospatial analyses to support optimization activities, and serves as a companion to Groundwater Statistics for Monitoring and Compliance: Statistical Tools for the Project Life Cycle (GSMC-1).
The guidance document will help state regulators and other practitioners to understand, evaluate, and make informed decisions about geospatial analyses for optimizing activities at environmental sites.
For users assessing the documentation for the first time, they are directed to review the Overview of this guidance. All users may find the Navigating this Website page helpful.
