Risk Assessments/Risk Management

Remediation of contaminated sites is often driven by regulatory requirements, such as CERCLA and RCRA. An important step in determining appropriate remedial actions for a site is the performance of a human health and ecological risk assessment (RA). The objective of a RA is to assess the magnitude and probability of actual or potential harm to public health and the environment resulting from the release of hazardous substances from a site in the absence of remedial action

NORTECH is extremely familiar with the Alaska’s risk based corrective action standards and the formal Superfund risk assessment process, and has successfully applied the emerging risk based corrective action models and criteria at a number of contaminated sites.

Key personnel include a Certified Industrial Hygienist with environmental toxicity and risk assessment training. Our team is trained and experienced with the SESOIL, a soil and groundwater modeling program for Risk Assessment and soil Clean-Up level evaluation utilized by the ADEC to develop the State’s generic, Site Specific and Risk Assessment based standards for the Contaminated Sites Cleanup Regulations.
