OHC is the prime contractor for the RAO/LTM contract. The Remedial Action Operations/Long Term Management (RAO/LTM) work includes operating, maintaining and/or monitoring Navy environmental restoration sites that have ongoing remedial actions. Types of RAO includes: capped landfills, groundwater treatment systems, phytoremediation, vegetative covers, shoreline protection, soil vapor extraction, bioventing, steam or air sparging, infiltration barriers, leach basins, storm water containment systems, enhanced bioremediation, and free product recovery. Monitoring and reporting of contaminants in accordance with approved monitoring plans at sites with remediation systems or where monitored natural attenuation may be occurring. The LTM work includes: Field data collection, sampling, performing field and laboratory analyses, surveying, modeling of various contaminants and geochemical indicators in monitoring and modeling results to the RAO objectives that are generally outlined in either a decision document, monitoring plan or applicable regulatory standards. Media includes: air; groundwater; surface water; the marine environment; sediments and soil; soil vapor gas; aquatic, benthic or terrestrial organisms; bioassays.

Monitoring requirements includes interpreting results for contaminants and geochemical indicators such as: metals, volatile organic compounds (VOC); semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC); ordnance compounds; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)/pesticides; polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH); water level; conductivity; redox potential; total organic carbon; dissolved inorganic carbon; dissolved oxygen; hydrogen; methane; ethane; nitrates; sulfates; and hydrogen sulfide.

RAO/LTM services includes the following:

1) Inspection and reporting of remediation systems operating conditions, the use of supplies and replacement

equipment. This work will include maintaining an O&M logbook for each system being maintained.
