Risk assessment methods are used by both private and public sectors in a variety of situations involving evaluation of environmentally sensitive issues. The requirement and magnitude of remediation, development of cleanup goals, and property transfer/site occupancy are commonly evaluated based on potential health risks to human and ecological receptors. The increasing use of risk assessment methods in the environmental decision-making process has put enormous emphasis on risk evaluations that are technically and legally defensible, address site-specific issues, and satisfy regulatory requirements.
