The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), enacted in 1980, provides a regulatory and legal mechanism to reduce risks from prior disposal of hazardous and toxic chemicals. Regulations, Standards, and Guidelines have been published to further define the CERCLA Process. The OU 7–10 Staged Interim Action Project at the Idaho National Environmental and Engineering Laboratory (INEEL) is a CERCLA project working to remediate a pre‐1970 disposal pit in which transuranic materials had been disposed. This paper analyzes the CERCLA process from a systems engineering perspective and describes how systems engineering is implemented on this project.
