The Canonsburg Remedial Action Inspection Plan was also reviewed.- Construction designs for Canonsburg, Shiprock and Salt Lake City have been reviewed, as well as modifications to the Remedial Action Plans for each of these sites.
Generic accomplishments include the establishment of a Memorandum of Understandiag with DOE to expedite interagency involvement in performing remedial actions at the sites.
