Abstract: Insights on the successful project management approaches for the completed environmental cleanup projects across the United States of America have been condensed and summarized into an AACE recommended practice for the environmental remediation industries which had been supported with information from previously completed projects. This paper examines another successfully completed project, the Fernald Environmental Management Protect, located near Cincinnati, Ohio. This large cleanup project offered a different and broader set of cleanup challenges that included contaminated soils, buildings, inventories of surplus materials, wastes, and a large, contaminated groundwater plume, that all needed to be remediated. This paper examines the project’s optimal sequencing/logic, schedules, cost estimating (for both near and far term work), key performance metrics, and project risk minimization and management. This information provides the reader with specific insights which contributed to the success of completed environmental cleanup projects and could thus prove useful for the future efforts in this industry sector.
