# Test Scenario 15: Environmental Consulting - Impact Assessment & Remediation Planning

## 🏢 **Industry Context**: Environmental Consulting
**Role**: Environmental Scientist  
**Task**: Research environmental impact assessment methodologies and soil contamination remediation techniques

## 📋 **Scenario Description**
You're an environmental scientist working on a contaminated industrial site remediation project. You need to research environmental impact assessment procedures, soil contamination analysis methods, and remediation technologies to develop a comprehensive cleanup plan.

## 🎯 **Your Mission (Completely Autonomous)**

### **Step 1: Setup FSS-Mini-RAG**
1. Read the repository README.md to understand how to install FSS-Mini-RAG
2. Follow the installation instructions for your platform
3. Verify the installation works by running `rag-mini --help`

### **Step 2: Gather Research Materials**
Create a folder called `environmental-assessment-research` and populate it with relevant documentation:
- Environmental impact assessment (EIA) guidelines
- Soil contamination testing and analysis procedures
- Remediation technology options and case studies
- EPA regulations for contaminated site cleanup
- Groundwater monitoring and protection strategies

**Sources to explore**:
- EPA environmental assessment and remediation guidelines
- Environmental consulting industry standards
- Soil science and remediation technology research
- Groundwater protection and monitoring resources
- Environmental impact assessment methodologies

### **Step 3: Index and Search**
1. Use FSS-Mini-RAG to index your `environmental-assessment-research` folder
2. Perform searches to answer these questions:
   - "What are the standard procedures for environmental impact assessment?"
   - "How should soil contamination be analyzed and categorized?"
   - "What remediation technologies are most effective for industrial contamination?"
   - "What monitoring is required during and after remediation?"
   - "How should community stakeholders be engaged in the process?"

### **Step 4: Document Your Findings**
Write your findings in `RESULTS.md` including:
- Environmental impact assessment framework and procedures
- Soil contamination analysis and risk assessment methods
- Remediation technology selection and implementation
- Monitoring and compliance requirements
- Stakeholder engagement and communication strategies

### **Step 5: Evaluation**
Rate FSS-Mini-RAG's effectiveness for:
- Finding specific information across multiple documents
- Searching complex documentation efficiently
- Helping with research and analysis workflows
- Overall usefulness for environmental consulting industry applications

## 📁 **Deliverables**
- `environmental-assessment-research/` folder with research materials
- `RESULTS.md` with findings and FSS-Mini-RAG evaluation
- Documentation of your search queries and discoveries

## ⏱️ **Expected Duration**: 2-3 hours

## 🎓 **Learning Objectives**
- Test FSS-Mini-RAG with environmental consulting industry content
- Evaluate search effectiveness with domain-specific documentation
- Assess usefulness for professional research workflows in environmental consulting
