Environmental Cleanup at Navy Facilities: Risk-Based Methods


Overview

The fiscal and technological limitations associated with cleaning up hazardous waste sites to background conditions have prompted responsible parties to turn to risk-based methods for environmental remediation. This text reviews and critiques risk-based methods, including those developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the American Society of Testing and Materials. These critiques lead to the identification of 11 criteria that must be part of any risk-based methodology adopted by the Navy, a responsible party with a large number of complex and heavily contaminated waste sites.
