The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit the attached Groundwater Remedy Completion Strategy,
This strategy was developed by OSRTI, FFRRO and the regions and also reflects comments received
during an external review period and a govemment-to-government consultation with federally-
recognized tribes.

The Groundwater Remedy Completion Strategy is a part of a suite of groundwater guidance being
developed by KPA to help focus resources on the information and decisions needed to effectively
complete groundwater cleanups. This document follows the Groundwater Roadmap (2011) and the
Guidance for Evaluating Completion of Groundwater Restoration Remedial Actions (November 2013).
The strategy recommends step-wise planning and decision-making processes for evaluating Superfund
groundwater remedy performance, operation and progress toward attainment  of remedial action
objectives and associated cleanup levels in a reasonable time frame.
