Section 742.915 - Formal Risk Assessments

A comprehensive site-specific risk assessment shall demonstrate that contaminants of concern at a site do not pose a significant risk to any human receptor. All site-specific risk assessments shall be submitted to the Agency for review and approval. A submittal under this Section shall address the following factors:

a) Whether the risk assessment procedure used is nationally recognized and accepted including, but not limited to, those procedures incorporated by reference in Section 742.210;

b) Whether the site-specific data reflect actual site conditions;

c) The adequacy of the investigation of present and post-remediation exposure routes and risks to receptors identified at the site;

d) The appropriateness of the sampling and analysis;

e) The adequacy and appropriateness of toxicity information;

f) The extent of contamination;

g) Whether the calculations were accurately performed;

h) Similar-acting chemicals shall be specifically addressed. At a minimum, the chemicals subject to this requirement are identified in Appendix A, Tables E and F; and

i) Proposals seeking to modify the target risk consistent with Section 742.900(d) shall address the following factors:

1) the presence of sensitive populations;

2) the number of receptors potentially impacted;

3) the duration of risk at the differing target levels; and

4) the characteristic of the chemicals of concern.
