1、Designation: E2616 09Standard Guide forRemedy Selection Integrating Risk-Based Corrective Actionand Non-Risk Considerations1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2616; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the selection of appropriate remedialactions at sites where a release of chemicals (for

3、example,vapor-phase, dissolved-phase, or non-aqueous phase liquids(NAPL) into the environment has occurred. This overallremedy selection process is illustrated in Fig. 1. The guide isintended to be applied within a risk-based corrective action(RBCA) framework.1.2 The purpose of this guide is to faci

4、litate the selection ofacceptable remedial actions and to minimize bad decisionsleading to the selection of remedial actions that do not satisfyboth the risk-based remedial action objectives and the non-riskremedial action objectives.1.3 This guide is intended to be applied at sites that requirea re

5、medial action to address unacceptable human heath orecological risks, other regulatory requirements, and/or otherunacceptable site conditions. Prior to use of this guide, a siteassessment should be completed resulting in: (1) the establish-ment of remedial action objectives, (2) a determination that

6、 aremedial action is required to achieve the remedial actionobjectives, (3) an identification of site areas requiring aremedial action, and (4) a conceptual site model that reflectsthe results of the site assessment. The risk-based remedialaction objectives are assumed to have been established using

7、RBCA or another risk-based assessment method that results inthe identification of appropriate remedial action objectivesbased on an evaluation of sources, exposure pathways, andpotential receptors. Remedial action objectives may be estab-lished using Guide E1739, Guide E2081, and/or Guide E2205.In a

8、ddition, applicable federal, state, and local regulations,statutes, and policies should be followed and should form thebasis for determining risk-based and non-risk remedial actionobjectives. The remedial action objectives may include re-source protection standards and the prevention of aesthetic or

9、nuisance impacts in addition to protection of human health andthe environment.1.4 Each risk-based remedial action objective for an expo-sure pathway will typically include numeric remedial actionlevels for each chemical of concern (COC). Remedial actionlevels may also be developed for non-risk remed

10、ial actionobjectives such as resource protection standards. The non-riskremedial action levels may include thickness or mobilitycriteria for NAPL. The selected remedy must be effective andtimely for each remedial action objective based on the consid-eration of the associated exposure pathway or reso

24、Nonaqueous-PhaseLiquids Released to the Subsurface3. Terminology3.1 Conceptual Model Terms:3.1.1 siteThe area(s) defined by the likely physical distri-bution of the COCs from a source area. A site could be anentire property or facility, a defined area or portion of a facilityor property, or multiple

25、 facilities or properties. One facilitymay contain multiple sites. Multiple sites at one facility may beaddressed individually or as a group.3.1.2 site assessmentThe characterization of a site todetermine whether a release has occurred, the concentrations ofthe COCs in environmental media, and the d

26、istribution of theCOCs. The site assessment collects data on soil, groundwater,air, and surface water quality; site characteristics (for example,subsurface geology, geochemistry, soil properties and struc-tures, hydrology and surface characteristics), land and resourceuse, and potential receptors, a

27、nd generates information todevelop a conceptual site model to support risk-based decisionmaking. The results of the site assessment are used to (1)establish remedial action objectives, (2) determine whether aremedial action is required to achieve the remedial actionobjectives, (3) identify site area

28、s requiring a remedial action,and (4) develop a conceptual site model that reflects the resultsof the site assessment. The site assessment may be conductedusing Practice D6235 or Guide E1912.3.1.3 complete exposure pathwayThe route a COC takesfrom the source area(s) to a human or ecological receptor

29、. Acomplete exposure pathway describes a mechanism by whichan individual or population is or could be exposed to COCsoriginating from the site. Each exposure pathway is associatedwith a source, a point of exposure, and an exposure route. If theexposure point is not at the source, a transport/exposur

30、emechanism is included.3.1.4 conceptual site modelThe integrated representationof the physical and environmental context, the complete andpotentially complete exposure pathways and the potential fateand transport of chemicals(s) of concern at a site. The siteconceptual model should include both the

31、current understand-ing of the site and the understanding of the potential futureconditions and uses for the site. It provides a method toconduct the exposure pathway evaluation, inventory the expo-sure pathways evaluated, and determine the status of theexposure pathways as incomplete, potentially co

33、dial action objectivesA set of objec-tives based on non-risk considerations for current and futuresite management. These objectives may include action levelsbased on aesthetic criteria or other resource protection stan-dards with non-risk remedial action levels. In addition, theseobjectives not dire

An AUL technology can be used toeliminate a complete or potentially complete exposure pathwayby eliminating the receptor or by preventing transport of theCOCs to the receptor. AUL measures must be combined withappropriate maintena

A remedial action for a site may involveremoval, decontamination, and/or AUL technologies includingmonitoring.3.3.2 potential remedial actionA potential remedial ac-tion is any remedial action evaluated for implementation at thesite

It is assumed that user

49、s of thisguide will have developed appropriate risk-based remedialaction objectives which are protective of human health and theenvironment using RBCA or a similar risk-based framework.The risk-based remedial action objectives should include: (1)identification of types and concentrations of COCs, (2) affectedenvironmental media, (3) complete exposure pathways andresource protection requirements, and (4) remedial actionlevels and their basis. Remedial action objectives may beestablished using Guide E1739, Guide E2081, and/or GuideE2205.5.3 Identificatio
