The new framework begins with the creation of a clearly defined set of objectives.    The objectives should answer the question of “why” this approach is being implemented and the expected business goals.  A business process and set of workflows is then developed to ensure that the objectives of the program are met.  Components of the business process include data package selection and acquisition, desktop evaluation, decision matrix for the need to field verify receptor information, field verification, final evaluation, incorporation of results into the remedial strategy, change management, re-acquisition of receptor data, and site closure risk assessment.  In addition to a single-site assessment, the EBM application should provide programmatic level evaluation methodologies for owners of multiple remediation sites.    Examples from a large petroleum marketer are used throughout the paper to supplement the body of knowledge.
