3 WHAT IS PERMA? Performance-Based Environmental Restoration Management Assessment is: a results-based strategy that uses improving knowledge to iteratively check and refine remedial decisions to expedite cleanup and protect human health and the environment (PERMA Developed by AFCEE for the Defense Logistics Agency) I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 3

7 WHY PERMA NOW? Re-Focus on Intended Outcome Fact: O&M from Last Remedy In Place (LRIP) to Response Complete (RC) for all current BRAC bases will cost an estimated $1.6B and require more than 80 years to execute Fact: LRIP is a short-term goal Fact: DoD must achieve RC status to terminate liabilities (long-term and ultimate goal) Challenge: Providing the means to insert smarter/faster/cheaper ways to get to RC I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 7

8 BENEFITS OF PERMA Helps articulate the basis of decisions and clarify the consequences of those decisions Helps stakeholders understand trade-offs among choices because Cleanup resources are limited Engineered response actions may adversely impact the environment Risk is associated with implementation of remedial actions I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 8

9 BENEFITS OF PERMA (continued) PERMA Optimizes Effectiveness of the Remedial Decision Validates the necessity, feasibility, and reasonableness of the remedy Shifts focus to outcomes (results) instead of steps completed (administrative milestones) I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 9

10 BENEFITS OF PERMA (continued) PERMA promotes establishing a realistic completion strategy PERMA promotes accelerated site closure PERMA helps stakeholders understand that cleanup resources are limited PERMA helps stakeholders to weigh the risks of implementing a remedial action on human health and the environment I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 10

13 THE PERMA PROCESS Do Step 4: Implement the Completion Plan Check Step 1: Conduct an Annual Performance Evaluation Using Simple Metrics Periodically Complete a Root-Cause Analysis (RPO) to Update the Problem Statement Plan Step 3: Construct a Flexible Completion Plan Using Results-Based Metrics Correct Step 2: Refine Objectives and/or Means to Achieve Them I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 13

14 THE PERMA PROCESS (continued) Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Annual Response Action Performance Evaluations Clarifies objective and intended outcome Identifies performance metrics and assessment techniques Required as part of CTC estimates Root-Cause Analysis Contingency Alternatives Decision Consequence Analysis Clarifies problem statement Updates performance metrics Creates decision logic for future tracking Technical due diligence to restore effective and efficient progress toward RC Basis of updated closeout strategy Results-Focused Statement of Objectives and Options Section 6 Policy/Program Needs Supports creative, market-based solution set Inspires innovation and performance (timely RC)!

16 USING PERMA to COMPLETE CLEANUP Step 1 Define the Problem (Test of Necessity) Characterize current nature and extent of contamination Predict future nature and extent of contamination if nature runs its course Estimate current/future risk of exposure using sound science Step 2 Develop Feasible and Reasonable Response Approaches (Tests of Feasibility and Reasonableness) Assess effectiveness of different response options Assess efficiency and sustainability of different response options Step 3 Build an Achievable Protection Strategy Tailor cleanup objectives to specific site conditions Optimize strategies used to achieve those objectives I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 16

17 CONCLUSION PERMA provides opportunities to optimize environmental restoration program to expedite cleanup while maintaining protectiveness by Promoting a realistic completion strategy Promoting accelerated site closure Helping stakeholders understand tradeoffs in remediation decisions I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 17
