OSTI ID:6184968
The ranking system (Hazard Assessment Ranking Methodology, or HARM) used for evaluating the relative hazard of contaminated sites during the records-search phase of the US Air Force Installation Restoration Program (IRP) has been revised for use in setting priorities for later phases of the IRP. The resulting methodology, HARM II, is designed to use data obtained in preliminary site investigations, and is expected to provide better approximations of relative site risk than could be obtained with the original HARM or with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Hazard Ranking System. This paper describes the methodological enhancements in HARM II and reports the results of preliminary testing of HARM II. 13 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
