Any amendment or revision <br />application submitted by BMG shall include an appropriate evaluation of <br />the implications of the requested plan modifications for the reclamation <br />cost.(11> "Critical Path" Project Management Schedule <br />Common methodology and practices may serve more than one abatement plan <br />task. Multiple tasks may occur simultaneously and may impose significant <br />simultaneous performance burdens on BMG and the Division. In order to <br />recognize potential mutual benefits and to avoid conflicts and delay, BMG <br />should develop, maintain and implement one comprehensive, integrated <br />"critical path" project management schedule for the abatement plan tasks. <br />The project management schedule for the BMG abatement plan tasks may be <br />complicated. Schedule maintenance could be facilitated by the use of <br />project management computer software (ie. ON TARGET, Harvard Project <br />Management, TIME LINE, etc), which could be obtained by BMG and the <br />Division. This would accommodate efficient electronic exchange of <br />progress information. The schedule should be formatted as a detailed <br />"critical path" project management schedule. The schedule should be <br />divided into discrete task elements. <br />The description of each discrete abatement task element should include: <br />(a) Methodology and practices to be applied, <br />(b) Risk entailed, <br />(Is it proven technology, methodology perfection, research, etc?) <br />(Is it subject to seasonality, weather, equipment availability?) <br />(c) Criticality of the task element, <br />(Consequences of failure or delay for abatement progress) <br />(d) Decision points, <br />(e) Necessary relationship to other plan elements, <br />(Must it occur before or after other specific task elements?) <br />(f) Alternative methodology or practices, <br />(To be substituted if failure or delay encountered) <br />(g) Required elapsed time, <br />(h> Name of the responsible staff member(s) or contractor(s), <br />(i> Resources to be committed, <br />(BMG staff, consultants, equipment, lab), <br />(j) Required agency response(s), and <br />(Review and approval, site visit, meeting, permit issuance, etc) <br />(k) Abatement plan deadlines. <br />JP/jP <br />Doc No: 2379E <br />
