| Feasibility Study | A Feasibility Study is a preliminary study undertaken before the real work of a project starts to ascertain the likelihood of the project's success. It is an analysis of all possible solutions to a problem and a recommendation on the best solution to use. It involves evaluating how the solution will fit into the corporation. (references) | ||

| Feasibility study | Administration | 1: 1) Analysis of the practicability of a proposal; e.g., a description and analysis of the potential cleanup alternatives for a site or alternatives for a site on the National Priorities List. The feasibility study usually recommends selection of a cost-effective alternative. It usually starts as soon as the remedial investigation is underway; together, they are commonly referred to as the "RI/FS". The term can apply to a variety of proposed corrective or regulatory actions. 2) In research, a small-scale investigation of a problem to ascertain whether or not a proposed research approach is likely to provide useful data. (references) | |
| 2: A study made on the basis of a remedial investigation to determine the feasibility of correcting the release, or threat of release, of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. (references) | |||
| Feasibility study | Art | A preliminary investigation and report on a proposed policy, project, or plan to ascertain if it can be successfully carried out, for example, to determine if a library building can be constructed on a particular site. (references) | |
| Feasibility study | Business | GSA uses this study to evaluate Prospectus-level proposed projects to ensure that they meet tenant agency space needs and government-owned facility requirements. This study also determines the preferred alternative and basis for preparing a Prospectus Development Study, which will meet the housing needs of the customer agency. (references) | |
| Feasibility study | Finance | A detailed investigation and analysis of a proposed development project to determine whether it is viable technically and economically. (references) | |
| Feasibility study | Health | 1: Analysis of the known or anticipated need for a product, system, or component to assess the degree to which the requirements, designs, or plans can be implemented. (references) | |
| 2: A study by EPA to determine the best way to clean up environmental contamination. A number of factors are considered, including health risk, costs, and what methods will work well. (references) | |||
| Feasibility study | Military | 1: A study of the applicability or desirability of any management or procedural system from the standpoint of advantages versus disadvantages in any given case. (references) | |
| 2: Carried out by industry, government agencies, or a combination of both to determine the feasibility of developing and producing a defense article within available resources. The study identifies areas of technical risk, recommends characteristics, and gives the optimum balance between performance, cost, and development time. The study also indicates areas where advances are likely to be necessary for success. It indicates the means by which the recommended solution will be achieved, suggests a program for project definition, development, and production with a preliminary estimate of the costs for these stages.

| Feasibility study (from the National Contingency Plan) | Physics | A study undertaken by the lead agency to develop and evaluate options for remedial action. The FS emphasizes data analysis and is generally performed concurrently and in an interactive fashion with the remedial investigation (RI), using data gathered during the RI. The RI data are used to define the objectives of the response action, to develop remedial action alternatives, and to undertake an initial screening and detailed analysis of the alternatives. The term also refers to a report that describes the results of the study. Source: Department of the Army. Chemical Accident or Incident Response and Assistance (CAIRA) Operations. DA PAM 50-6, 1991. See also: remedial investigation. (references) | |
| Feasibility Study (FS) | Administration | (1) A complete assessment of alternative courses of action to solve one or more problems, to meet needs, and to recommend the most practical course of action consistent with state and local planning objectives. (2) (Environmental) Analysis of the practicability of a proposal, e.g., a description and analysis of potential cleanup alternatives for a site such as one on the National Priorities List (NPL). The feasibility study usually recommends selection of a cost-effective alternative. It usually starts as soon as the Remedial Investigation (RI) is underway; together, they are commonly referred to as the "RI/FS". (references) | |
| Feasibility study (FS) | Public Administration | A process for developing and evaluating remedial actions, using data gathered during the remedial investigation to: define the objectives of the remedial program for the site and broadly develop remedial action alternatives; perform an initial screening of these alternatives; and perform a detailed analysis of a limited number of alternatives which remain after the initial screening stage. (references) | |
| Remedial Investigation/ Feasibility Study | Health | After a site is listed on the NPL, a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) is performed at the site. The remedial investigation serves as the mechanism for collecting data. The FS is the mechanism for the development, screening, and detailed evaluation of alternative remedial actions. The RI and FS are conducted concurrently data collected in the RI influence the development of remedial alternatives in the FS, which in turn affect the data needs and scope of treatability studies and additional field investigations.
