SmartSampling is a risk-based, goal-oriented process that provides an objective and quantitative framework for improving remedial designs, for direct mapping of risk levels and cost alternatives, and for real-time decisions as excavation proceeds. The process emphasizes graphical products to focus negotiations between the site owners, stakeholders and regulators.
Using advanced technology developed by the petroleum and mining industries, the process is designed to answer basic questions... |
|
|
Where do I sample?
Sampling is an iterative process
designed to extract information
that increases confidence. |
|
 |
|
|
Where do I dig?
Advanced geostatistical tools,
pioneered by the oil, gas, and
mining industry, are used to
calculate and display maps
that describe the likelihood
of compliance with regulatory
criteria and precisely define the
areas requiring removal or
treatment.
|
|
 |
|
|
What does it cost?
An economic objective function
is used to identify what
combination of characterization,
treatment or disposal, and risk
criteria minimize the total cost
of the remediation. |

Smart Sampling was developed with major support from the U. S. Department of Energy's Office of Science and Technology.
