Prepare a WBS outline given the following information:

A real estate developer has asked an environmental consultant to assess the potential environmental risk associated with an industrial property, and if necessary, estimate the cost to remediate (clean up) the site. In order to develop a better working relationship with the developer, the consultant decided to outline the entire process for the developer.

The process begins with a property background review, called phase 1.0 that consists of a review of historical aerial photographs obtained from regional planning agencies, utilities, and historical societies; a site walkthrough, interviews with current and previous occupants, and a review of pertinent local, state, and federal records. The Phase 1.0 does not include soil or building material samples.

If the results of the Phase 1.0 indicate that there is significant environmental risk associated with the property, then a Phase 2.0 investigation of activities must be performed. The Phase 2.0 begins with the preparation of a work plan that includes the areas and materials to be sampled based on the results of the Phase 1.0 study.

After approval of the work plan by the customer and regulatory authorities, field activities are performed in Phase 2.0. Data from the Phase 2.0 investigation is analyzed, and if it is determined to be sufficient to define the extent of the contamination, a report will be prepared for regulatory review.

If the results of Phase 2.0 indicate that remediation (clean up ) is necessary, the following steps will be taken: an assessment of remedial alternatives will be done, the preparation of a remedial action plan (RAP) will be done, a RAP review and approval by the regulatory agency will follow, then the implementation of the RAP will be undertaken.

Pre pare a work breakdown structure (WBS) for this project. The WBS only needs to have one sub-level in its hierarchy. Pre pare the WBS with the number of the WBS elements showing the indentation of the WBS outline so that the level of each activity is clearly identified, and the lower levels can be rolled up to aggregate with its upper tier WBS element.
