3. Objective
Enhanced Data Management & 3DVA to Streamline Site Closure
Leveraging technology for complete site models to streamline site closure
strategies, leading to better business decisions. Data visualization is a solution to
bridge the abstract science for refined engineering design and enhanced data
analytics for continuous quality performance.
Purpose
• Data Quality & Management
• Data Analysis and Refined Decision Insights
• Investment(s) Evaluation and Validation
• Facilitates Stakeholder Engagement

4. Technical Management Challenges
• Complex data sets over several years
• Complex environmental systems
• Varied site investigation methods
• Performance Inconsistency
• Stakeholder engagement
• Receptors & third-party potential impacts
• Varied regulatory requirements for cleanup: numeric vs risk-based

9. Conceptual Site Model – 3D Analytical Data Visualization
• Identifying data gaps
• Evaluate plume degradation
• Analyzing well network to determine
statistical significance of each well
• Refining GW monitoring well network
• Standardizing the calculation of mass and
volume of groundwater plumes
• Identifying targeted treatment areas (location
and depth)
• More precise reserve lifecycle cost modeling

1. Communication to Stakeholders
• 3DVA is a tool to communicate
technical data sets to all
stakeholders
• Facilitates collaborative
discussions with regulators
• Helps ownership team gain a
better understanding of
environmental drivers and risks

12. Best Management Practice 3D CSM (Cont’d)
 Plume architecture credibility
 Validation of mass and volume
estimates
 Enhanced visualization of data sets
over time; predictive model
(simulations)
 More targeted Investigation &
remediation solution strategies
 Improved risk management
 Lifecycle cost reductions
