COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES RESEARCH INSTITUTE SITE

REMEDIATION INVESTIGATION AND CLEANUP (2004)

RECORD OF DECISION (2004)

The Colorado School of Mines (the School) completed a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) for the CSMRI Site (Site), located at the west end of 12th Street in Golden, Colorado, and issued a proposed remedial action plan (Proposed Plan) on January 21, 2004.  The Proposed Plan recommended Alternative 5, the off-Site removal and disposal of contaminated soils.  The School then received and considered oral and written public comments on the Proposed Plan.  The public comments supported Alternative 5 as the remedial plan for the Site.  The School has now selected Alternative 5 as the final remedial action for the Site and documented the remedy selection in a Record of Decision (ROD), which was signed on March 31, 2004.  The ROD selects a remedy that is consistent with the Proposed Plan: off-Site disposal of the contaminated soils.  The School will implement a remedial plan to remove contaminated soils from the Site for disposal at off-Site disposal facilities. 

The ROD, which includes additional information and responses to public comments, is available below:
