Technical Report · Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5558896

The EPA has established a Data Useability Work group to develop national guidance for minimum data quality requirements to increase the useability of environmental analytical data in the cleanup of hazardous waste sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 as amended in SARA. The manual provides direction for planning and assessing analytical data collection activities for the baseline human health risk assessment, conducted as part of the remedial investigation (RI)process. The guidance does not address the use of environmental data for purposes other than baseline risk assessment for human health.
