The “Risk Assessment
Highway”

The amount of traffic on the “Risk Assessment Highway” is going
down as a result of the construction of the new modern “Strategic
Planning Super Highway” from “Clean Land Country” directly to
“Fit-For-Use” Land.

The new “Strategic
Planning Super
Highway”

Built directly from “Clean Land Country” to “Fit-For-Use Land”. It
entirely avoids the old “Risk Assessment Highway”, and the off
road “Risk Based Site Management” expedition through the
“Remediation Technology Hills”.
The pillars holding up the new highway bridge are the same “Sound
Science” and “Communications with Public” supports that
successfully support the existing “Risk Assessment Highway.”

“Fit-For-Use Land” It is recognized that “Fit-For-Use Land” supports other valuable

activities other than just “Home Sweet Home”, such as industrial
sites, parks, etc.

The “Litigation
Mountains”

Have eroded somewhat, and are more hills now that pose less of an
obstacle to successfully reaching “Fit-For Use Land”.

The “Monitoring Moat” The “Monitoring Moat” around “Fit-For-Use Land” is smaller since

fewer sites require after care as they are remediated over time. The
“Strategic Planning Super Highway” from “Clean Land Country”
does not require a protective moat.
