4.3.3 Long-Term Effectiveness and Permanence -- Support Technologies Because PCB-contaminated material would be removed from the sites, the support technologies would be effective in permanently eliminating (1) the risks associated with the PCB-contaminated material; (2) the potential for future releases of PCBs to groundwater, surface water, and air; and (3) the migration of PCB-contaminated particulates off site. The support technologies are reliable because PCB-contaminated materials would be excavated and removed off site, and the lagoon water, decontamination water, and process treatment water is treated before discharge to the storm or sanitary sewer system. No significant residual risks are associated with support technologies. The long-term effectiveness of the support technologies will depend on the effective treatment and disposal of the excavated PCB-contaminated materials and the effective treatment and discharge of the lagoon water, decontamination water, and process treatment water. Performance data, factors that influence performance, and system limitations are not applicable to support technology activities.
