Risk-assessment guidance for Superfund. Volume 2. Environmental evaluation manual. Interim report (Final)
The document is part of a two-manual set entitled Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund. One manual, the Environmental Evaluation Manual, provides guidance for ecological assessment at Superfund sites; the other, the Human Health Evaluation Manual, provides guidance for health risk assessment of these sites. The Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund manuals were developed to be used during the Removal and Remedial investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) processes at Superfund sites. The analytical framework and specific methods described in the manuals, however, may also be applicable to evaluations of hazardous wastes and hazardous materials for other purposes. The two manuals in the set have somewhat different target audiences. The Environmental Evaluation Manual primarily addresses Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) and On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs), who are responsible for ensuring a thorough evaluation of potential environmental effects at sites. The Environmental Evaluation Manual is not a detailed how-to type of guidance, and it does not provide cookbook approaches for evaluation.
