Which phase follows RCRA Facility Investigation in corrective action?

• A. CMS (Corrective Measures Study)
• B. CMI (Corrective Measures Implementation)
• C. RFA (RCRA Facility Assessment)
• D. RFI (RCRA Facility Investigation)

Answer: (A)

After the RCRA Facility Investigation, the next phase is the Corrective Measures Study. In this phase, you analyze and compare potential remedies to address the releases found during the investigation, weighing how well each option works, how feasible it is to implement, and the associated costs and environmental impacts. The goal is to identify a preferred remedy that will protect human health and the environment and can be moved into implementation. The following phase then shifts to Corrective Measures Implementation, where the chosen remedy is designed, constructed, and operated with monitoring to ensure it performs as intended. RCRA Facility Assessment happens earlier as the initial screening to spot potential releases, and RFI is the in‑depth step that sets the stage for the CMS.
