Record Keeping

Records of all activities related to the closure of the site should be kept on a daily basis and the location of these records posted.  These records should include information such as the construction/clean up activities that occur each day, weather conditions, amounts of wastes removed and where they were sent for disposal, and any unexpected wastes that were discovered.  The name and telephone number of a contact person with access to cleanup records during clean up should be included. Note where the records will be kept after clean up is completed and the name and telephone number of the person in charge of the final records. It’s recommended that records be maintained and available for seven years after completion of clean up. This section should also include any costs for generating and storing the daily records.

Certification that all remediation and reclamation measures have been completed should be placed in the permanent record. The certification should be signed by the tribal oversight authority and should include a description of the sampling, testing, and analysis that was carried out at the site.
