Development and demonstration of a hazard assessment rating methodology for Phase II of the Installation Restoration Program
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6140247
In this report we describe a modification of the Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM), a site-screening system developed by the US Air Force for use in the initial phase of its Installation Restoration Program. The Air Force used HARM to evaluate sites of suspected contamination, based on a records search. The new site-rating system (HARM II) utilizes data obtained from preliminary field surveys of sites identified during the records search as being potentially hazardous. HARM II is intended for use in setting priorities for detailed site investigation and possible remedial action. In HARM II, as in HARM and other similar systems, sites are scored on their potential for contaminant transport, on the characteristics of potential contaminant, on the characteristics of and potential receptors along each of several exposure pathways. This report contains (1) methods for estimating benchmarks for human toxicity, ecological toxicity, and bioaccumulation of hazardous chemicals; (2) a detailed description of the HARM II system; and (3) an application of the model to a representative Air Force facility. 6 figs., 26 tabs.
