Technical Report · Sun Dec 01 04:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5918212

The document is one of a three-part series. Part B provides guidance on using USEPA toxicity values and exposure information to derive risk-based preliminary remedial goals (PRG) for a CERCLA site. Initially developed at the scoping phase using readily available information, risk-based PRGs generally are modified based on site-specific data gathered during the remedial investigation/feasibility study. The guidance does not discuss the risk management decisions that are necessary at a CERCLA site. The potential users of Part B are those involved in the remedy selection and implementation process, including risk assessors, risk assessment reviewers, remedial project managers, and other decision-makers.
