Contaminated Land Risk-Based Management
Course Description
Increasingly, environmental decisions have being described as “risk based,” especially in contaminated site cleanup and corrective actions, where risk-based decisions are thought of as more appropriate and cost-effective than decisions based levels criteria developed without recognition of risk assessment principles. Many sites became contaminated during industrial uses. Such activities often results in chemicals and other toxic materials being spilled or deposited on land. Risk-based assessment is used to pinpoint the problems that could give rise to significant risk, and then identify cost-effective solutions for mitigating or remediating those risks.
