Abstract	:	Selection of remediation alternative is an important task in the decision making process of contaminated site management. The number of available remediation alternatives is increasing over the years as a result of progress in scientific research. Decision makers face a confounded situation to select the best acceptable alternative by satisfying various preferences of different stakeholders. In this research, a fuzzy multi-criteria decision analysis (FMCDA) approach was developed. Since most information available in the decision making process is not deterministic, fuzzy-set theory was used to deal with such uncertainty. The developed FMCDA approach ranks the alternatives according to the utility values. Different stakeholders' opinions were effectively incorporated in the developed approach, allowing for a robust decision making for contaminated site management. The developed method was then applied to the management of a site in northern British Columbia to examine its applicability.
