            This manual provides guidance on methods for public health evaluations
        that are conducted as part of EPA's feasibility study process at Superfund
        remedial sites.  The manual specifically supports Chapter 5 of the Guidance
        for Feasibility Studies  (U.S. EPA, Office of Emergency and Remedial Response,
        April, 1985), which briefly describes public health evaluation procedures.
        This manual does not contain procedures for health assessments, which are
        separate analyses conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
        Registry (ATSDR).  The procedures and data given in this manual supersede
        information previously released by the Office of Emergency and Remedial
        Response on public health evaluation at Superfund sites.

                                                          USWER Directive 9285.4-1
                      PREFACE AND  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    This manual establishes a  framework for public health evaluation at
Superfund  sites and  for development of health-based performance goals for
remedial alternatives that are based on applicable or relevant and appropriate
requirements of other laws, where available, or risk analysis techniques where
those requirements are not available.  These procedures were developed by
EPA's Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) in conjunction with an
Agency-wide Task Force, which  included representatives from the program
offices, the Office  of Waste Programs Enforcement, the Office of Research and
Development, the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation, and several
Regional offices.  The procedures provided in the manual are designed to
conform to EPA's risk assessment guidelines (51 Federal Register 33992-34054,
September  24,  1986).  In addition, guidance developed by EPA's Office of Waste
Programs Enforcement for endangerment assessments at enforcement-lead sites
incorporates the procedures in this manual.

    Public health evaluation is an important component of the remedial investi-
gation (RI) and feasibility study (FS) phase of cleanup at Superfund sites.
This procedures manual was developed to supplement Chapter 5 of the Guidance on
Feasibility Studies  Under CERCLA.  That guidance describes what the public
health evaluation process is, but not how to  conduct  it.   In  contrast,  this
manual provides detailed guidance on how to conduct the evaluation.

    The Superfund Public Health Evaluation Manual has been developed for use
by a diverse audience, including EPA regional staff, state Superfund program
staff, federal and state remedial contractors, and potentially responsible
parties.   Individuals having different levels of scientific training and
experience are likely to use the manual in designing, conducting,  and reviewing
public health evaluations.  Because assumptions and judgments are required in
many parts of the analysis, the individuals conducting the evaluation are key
elements in the process.  The manual is not intended for use by non-technical
personnel  to perform technical evaluations, nor to allow professionals trained
in one discipline to perform the work of another.   Rather, it is the
responsibility of remedial project managers, using the manual as a guide, to
match the  scientific support they deem necessary with the appropriate
resources  at their disposal.

    Public health evaluation cannot be  reduced to simple,  "cookbook"
procedures.   If  all  judgment  could be  removed from  the process, undoubtedly
the results from various sites would be far more consistent.  In addition,
state-of-the-art public health evaluation techniques have not been fully
accepted by all scientists, and important chemical data are frequently
unavailable.  For instance, toxicity testing has not kept pace with the need
for information on many chemicals, and procedures  used in exposure assessment
often require many assumptions.  The universe of uncontrolled hazardous waste
sites is both variable and complex,  with each site posing a unique set of
circumstances.  It would be unrealistic to expect  that all data necessary to
determine precisely the health risks  associated with every site will be
available.   Where data gaps necessitate making assumptions to conduct the
public health evaluation for a site,  the manual instructs that all such
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

 assumptions  be  clearly documented.   The  manual  is designed  to be  flexible,
 allowing  the use  of professional judgment.   It  is not  a  "cookbook".   Instead,
 it provides  a systematic process for evaluating potential public  health
 impacts at a site and for documenting and  supporting the assessment,  its
 assumptions,  and  its conclusions.

    The manual  provides a range of  analytical procedures that may be  needed at
 a particular site.   It is up to the remedial project manager to determine the
 level of  analysis required by using criteria discussed in this manual.  In
 addition, the manual contains a series of  worksheets to  assist in performing
 the public health evaluation.  The  worksheets are not  intended to drive the
 evaluation,  but to provide a consistent  format  for reporting results.  The
 results of the public health evaluation should be presented  within the
 appropriate  section of the RI/FS report.

    Information gathered for the public  health  evaluation can be  organized in
 the appropriate worksheets provided in the manual or in a comparable  format.
 The information for the evaluation  is important and the worksheets are only a
 suggested format.   Not all worksheets will be applicable to all sites;
 site-specific characteristics will  determine which worksheets are relevant.
 Worksheets in this  manual are filled in  with illustrative examples to help
 explain the  various procedures given in  the text.  These sample worksheets are
 for instructional purposes only;  indicated values should not be construed as
 representing actual conditions.

    The Superfund Public Health Evaluation Manual is divided into nine
 chapters.  Some of  the chapters  are applicable  to all  sites, while some are
 applicable to a subset of sites.  Chapter  1 is  an overview of the entire
 Superfund public  health evaluation  framework.  The second chapter provides
 background on Agency rules,  policies,  and  guidance relevant to the public
 health evaluation process.   Chapters 3 through  7 give procedures  for the
 baseline public health evaluation,  and Chapter  8 presents methods to  formulate
 health-based  performance goals for  remedial alternatives.  The final chapter
 provides guidance on how to summarize and  present the  results of  the
 evaluation.   Additional information related to  the public health  evaluation
 process is included in several appendices  to the manual.

    Two necessary supplements to this  manual are:  (1) a set of Health Effects
 Assessments  (HEAs)  for toxic chemicals typically found at uncontrolled
 hazardous waste sites,  and (2)  the  Superfund Exposure Assessment  Manual, which
 provides detailed methods for analyzing  chemical releases from waste sites and
 assessing fate  and  transport in  environmental media.  The 58 available HEAs
provide a rapid index of up-to-date toxicological information and should be
 used by EPA personnel  and contractors  to avoid  inconsistency and  duplication
of effort.  Other parties may also  find  the assessments useful and time-saving.
The Agency is planning to develop additional HEAs for many commonly occurring
chemicals found at  Superfund sites.   Copies of HEAs for specific  chemicals are
available through the  National Technical Information Service (NTIS).  Appendix
C of this manual  provides a list of chemicals with HEAs along with their NTIS
publication numbers  (Exhibit C-7) and  also summarizes data from the HEAs
necessary for the public health  evaluation process (Exhibits C-4  and C-6).

                                    -3-
    B'ecause toxicity data will  change  as new information becomes available,
OERR will distribute updated  summary tables on a regular basis.  OERR has
compiled the toxicity data  from Appendix C along with values for key standards
and criteria into a personal  computer  data base, PHRED--Public Health Risk
Evaluation Database.  PHRED has been designed to allow the user to both store
and print selected fields of  chemical  data.  The software package can be used
on an IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible PC/XT/AT.  The software consists of two
disks:  a program disk and  a  data disk.  OERR plans to periodically update the
data disk as new information  becomes available.  OERR also is developing a
comprehensive document, the Superfund  Risk Assessment Information Directory,
to supplement the Superfund Public Health Evaluation Manual and other risk
assessment guidance prepared  by EPA.   The directory will assist in
decision-making by providing  EPA officials with ready access to the most
current risk assessment information.   Such a compilation of sources, models,
data bases, and individuals will make  it possible to rapidly evaluate
state-of-the-art risk assessment information, allow quick response to
inquiries, reduce possible  duplications of effort, and maximize consistency ,
among sources of information.

    At the time this manual was prepared for final publication, Congress had
just passed a CERCLA reauthorization bill.  Throughout this manual, where
reauthorization is likely to  affect the procedures for conducting public
health evaluations, footnotes to the text have been included to describe the
changes likely to result.   Users should also be aware that citations in this
manual to specific sections of  CERCLA  refer to CERCLA of 1980 (P.L. 96-510)
and may not be valid for the  reauthorization statute.

                              CHAPTER  1

  OVERVIEW OF THE SUPERFUND PUBLIC HEALTH EVALUATION PROCESS
    The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980 (CERCLA) establishes a national program for responding to releases of
hazardous substances into the environment.  In addition, the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) establishes the process
for determining appropriate remedial actions at Superfund sites.1-1  Together,
CERCLA and the NCP require that a remedial action selected for a Superfund
site be cost-effective and that it be adequate to protect public health.  The
NCP, Guidance on Remedial Investigations under CERCLA (EPA, 1985b), and
Guidance 'on Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (EPA, 1985a) require that
selection of a cost-effective remedy be based on a comparison of alternatives
that examines public health impacts, environmental impacts, technological and
engineering feasibility, cost, and institutional factors.  As a general rule,
EPA will pursue remedies that attain or exceed2-1 the requirements of
applicable or relevant and appropriate federal public health or environmental
laws.  However, because of unique circumstances at particular sites, there may
be alternatives that do not meet the standards of other laws, but that still
provide protection of public health, welfare, and the environment.  The
Agency's most current toxicity data, documented in Health Effects Assessments
(HEAs), along with other criteria, advisories and guidance will also be
considered and may be used in fashioning remedies.

    This manual supplements Chapter 5 of the feasibility study guidance, which
provides interim guidance on conducting an evaluation of potential public
health impacts at Superfund sites.  The manual provides an approach that may
be followed for analyzing public health impacts of remedial alternatives.  EPA
recognizes that other approaches may be equally valid.  This manual covers the
two key elements of a public health evaluation that should be addressed in any
feasibility study, regardless of the approach that is used:  (1) the baseline
public health evaluation, and (2) the public health analysis of remedial
alternatives.

    Section 104 of CERCLA authorizes taking a removal or remedial action to
protect public health, welfare, or the environment when there is a release or
substantial threat of release of any hazardous substance or when there is a
    IJ CERCLA was reauthorized just before this manual was prepared for
final publication.  Several provisions of the reauthorization measure will
affect the procedures described in this manual.  In addition, the NCP will be
revised as a result of reauthorization.

    2J For instance, the Agency might choose incineration as an alternative
that exceeds what would be required by applicable standards because it is a
more permanent and reliable solution than RCRA closure standards for land
disposal facilities.

release or substantial threat of release of any pollutant or contaminant that
may present an imminent and substantial danger to the public health or welfare.
A baseline public health evaluation is an analysis of site conditions in the
absence of remedial action.  It provides the remedial project manager with an
understanding of the nature of chemical releases from the site, the pathways
of human exposure, the degree to which such releases violate applicable or
relevant and appropriate requirements and, in the absence of these require-
ments, a measure of the threat to public health as a result of releases.  The
information developed in the baseline evaluation provides input for developing
and evaluating remedial alternatives.  In addition, the baseline evaluation
satisfies the NCP requirement to complete a detailed analysis of the no-action
alternative, including an evaluation of public health impacts.

    The baseline evaluation may also be applied in enforcement situations.
Although the level of effort may be more rigorous in an enforcement-lead
situation, the basic process is the same.  For administrative and judicial
enforcement actions under Section 106 of CERCLA, an endangerment assessment
must be performed to justify the enforcement action.  The endangerment
assessment is the risk assessment process the Office of Waste Programs
Enforcement (OWPE) uses to determine the magnitude and probability of actual
or potential harm to public health, welfare, or the environment by the
threatened or actual release of a hazardous substance.   The endangerment
assessment process is described in the Endangerment Assessment Guidance
document signed by the Assistant Administrator of OSWER in the fall of 1985
and explained in the Endangerment Assessment Handbook released by OWPE in
October, 1985.  The Superfund Public Health Evaluation Manual provides methods
employed in the endangerment assessment process and therefore has been made
compatible with the requirement for conducting endangerment assessments for
Superfund enforcement sites.

    Development of performance goals for remedial alternatives is the second
key phase of the public health evaluation.  The manual describes specific
procedures for comparing health risks and developing performance goals for
remedial measures.  The process builds on information collected and evaluated
in the baseline evaluation and closely follows the guidelines in the NCP and
EPA's policy on CERCLA compliance with the requirements of other environmental
statutes.3J

    The analytical framework provided in  the  manual is  a  flexible  one.
While the manual provides a logical series of analytical procedures, these
procedures are not intended to substitute for a well-reasoned thought process
or scientific judgment.  The manual recognizes that there is a minimum level
of analysis and documentation that is necessary in any feasibility study,
regardless of the particular approach used.  The manual also recognizes that,
depending on the number and type of substances present, the amount and
adequacy of chemical, physical, and toxicological information known about the
substances, the proximity of receptors, the effectiveness of available
    3J EPA's CERCLA compliance with other environmental statutes policy is
published as an appendix to the preamble of the NCP (50 Federal Register
47946-47950, November 20,  1985).  The CERCLA reauthorization bill elevates the
CERCLA compliance policy requirements to a statutory requirement.

technology, and the characteristics of the exposure pathways,  the remedial
project manager will need to carefully consider the level of effort and amount
of quantification needed to conduct an evaluation.   The remainder of Chapter  1
explains these factors in more detail; however, judgment by the remedial
project manager ultimately will determine the appropriate level of analysis.

    It is also important to realize that not all of the components of the
manual are appropriate to use at all sites.   For example, an evaluation of  the
baseline situation must be conducted at all  sites.   However, the approach
presented in Chapter 3 for selecting indicator chemicals is useful only at
sites with a wide array of chemicals.   Similarly,  part of the  performance goal
development approach in Chapter 8 is useful  only at sites where applicable  or
relevant and appropriate ambient concentration requirements are not available
for all chemicals of interest.
         1.1   DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS  COMPONENTS

            The public health  evaluation  framework presented in this manual has two
         major components:

                •   baseline public health evaluation, and
                •   development of performance goals for remedial
                    alternatives.

         As previously mentioned, an analysis of the baseline is a requirement for all
         remedial sites.  Baseline public  health evaluations can range from
         straightforward and uncomplicated to very detailed and complex.   In addition
         to a  baseline analysis, the remedial project manager should develop
         health-based performance goals, which will assist in development and
         refinement of appropriate remedial alternatives.

            1.1.1  Baseline Public Health  Evaluation

            The baseline public health evaluation covers a wide range of complexity,
         quantification, and level of effort, depending on numerous site  factors.   The
         evaluation  can be viewed  as spanning a continuum  of complexity and resource
         requirements.  The  appropriate  level of detail  for a public health
         evaluation is a site-specific decision.

            The baseline evaluation, as described in this manual, involves five
         steps.  They are not a required set of procedures to be followed at all sites
         because some of the steps (or parts of steps) do not necessarily apply to some
         sites.  As a first step in the process, indicator chemicals are  selected, if
         needed, from among the list of contaminants known to be at the site.  The
         procedure for selecting indicator chemicals, discussed in Chapter 3,
         incorporates chemical toxicity information, physical/chemical factors, and
        measured concentrations at the site.  The second step in the evaluation,  an
         assessment of exposure concentrations of the indicator chemicals is described
         in Chapter 4.   Chemical releases are estimated and environmental fate and
         transport may be modeled to project exposure levels via air, ground water,
         surface water, or other pathways.   Following the estimation of exposure
         concentrations, comparison to applicable or relevant and appropriate
         requirements (e.g., Federal drinking water standards) is made.

                                   -7-
    The next step involves estimating human intakes.  Standard assumptions for
daily water and air intake, fish consumption, and other relevant factors are
provided in Chapter 5 for use if site-specific information is unavailable.
The fourth step of the process, presented in Chapter 6, involves an in-depth
review of the toxicity of the indicator chemicals.  Appendix C, which contains
a listing of critical toxicity values for chemicals commonly occurring at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, and EPA's Health Effects Assessment
documents are important companions to Chapter 6.  Finally, in Step 5 (Chapter
7), human health risks are characterized for potential carcinogens and for
noncarcinogenic effects by combining the exposure and toxicity information
developed in Steps 1 through 4.

    1.1.2  Analysis of Remedial Alternatives  and Development of Performance
         .  Goals

    The second component of the Superfund public health evaluation process is
analysis and development of health-based performance goals for proposed
remedial alternatives.  This component is described in Chapter 8.  Performance
goals for source control*-1 remedies will be based on applicable or relevant
and appropriate design and operating requirements and best engineering
judgment.  Where soil removal is part of the remedial action, a risk-based
approach can be used to determine the extent of removal.  Performance goals
for management of migration5-1  alternatives will be based on applicable or
relevant and appropriate ambient chemical concentration requirements, if
available.  Otherwise, a target carcinogenic risk range will be used to
develop numerical performance goals.  The emphasis of the performance goal
procedure is to use techniques of risk analysis to assist in setting target
levels of contaminant concentrations at exposure points (and for some remedial
technologies, such as a waste treatment plant, to set target levels of
contaminant discharge or emission).  The public health evaluation for remedial
alternatives is closely linked with other components of the feasibility study,
especially the detailed technical evaluation.

    EPA is developing additional guidance to aid in the development of
remedial alternatives for certain specific situations (including guidance
documents for cleanup of surface tank and drum sites and surface impoundments
and for provision of alternate water supplies).  These manuals will assist in
the development of performance goals in many circumstances.

    Exhibit 1-1 is a flowchart illustrating the major components of the
Superfund public health evaluation process.  The flowchart shows a possible
sequence of activities but does not indicate which activities are applicable
to which sites, an important topic that is discussed in the next section.
    *J Source control remedies are those that remove or control the source
of contamination at a site.

    5J Management of migration remedies are those that address substances
that have already migrated away from the source.

1.2  APPLICABILITY OF PROCESS COMPONENTS TO VARIOUS SITES

    It should be apparent that not all of the components of the Superfund
public health evaluation process described in Section 1.1 apply to  all
remedial sites.  This manual establishes a generic  framework that is  broadly
applicable across sites.  As a consequence of attempting to cover a wide
variety of sites, many of the process components, steps, and techniques
described in the manual do not apply to some sites.   In addition most of the
components can vary greatly in level of detail.   Obviously, determining which
elements of the process are necessary, which are desirable, and which are
extraneous is a key decision for each site.  All components should  not be
forced into the assessment of a site, and the evaluation should be  limited to
the complexity and level of detail necessary to adequately assess risks.  It
cannot be overemphasized that the manual  is not a  "cookbook" of procedures
that must be followed without exception for each and every site. Rather,  the
manual establishes a public  health evaluation framework that must be  adapted
to individual sites.   Although  professional  judgment and common sense are
the ultimate inputs to deciding applicability and level of detail,  the
following paragraphs provide some guidance in this  area.

    Public health evaluation can be thought of as spanning a continuum of
complexity, detail, and level of effort, just as sites  vary in  conditions and
complexity.  Exhibit 1-2 illustrates the concept of an  analytical continuum
and identifies some of the site-specific factors affecting level of effort
that the remedial project manager must consider. These factors  include:

        •   number and identity of chemicals present;

        •   availability of appropriate standards and/or toxicity
            data;

        •   number and complexity of exposure pathways  (including
            complexity of release sources and transport media);

        •   necessity for precision of the results,  which in turn
            depends on site conditions such as the  extent of
            contaminant migration, proximity, characteristics and
            size of potentially exposed populations,  and enforcement
            considerations (additional quantification may be
            warranted for some enforcement sites);  and

        •   quality and quantity of available monitoring data.SJ

    Sites best represented by the descriptions toward the left  of the
continuum on Exhibit 1-2 correspond to a relatively low level of effort and
analytical complexity, while sites corresponding to the descriptions  toward
    *J All site monitoring data must be subjected to appropriate quality
control-quality assurance programs.  Lack of acceptable data may by necessity
limit the amount of data available for the public health evaluation,  and
therefore may limit the scope of the evaluation.

the right are more complex and generally will require a greater level of
effort.  It is important to understand that the factors given on the continuum
are largely independent.  Thus, one factor may correspond to the need for a
complex analysis while others correspond to a simple analysis (e.g., a site
may have two chemicals with available standards and only one exposure pathway,
via ground water, but may have a complex subsurface and need considerable
precision).  Although it is clearly a simplification, Exhibit 1-2 should
assist in defining the appropriate level of quantitative analysis for a site.

            inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL).

        •   Establishing priorities for remedial action:  Sites
            are scored using the Hazard Ranking System and data from
            the PA/SI.  This scoring process is the primary mechanism
            for determining the sites to be included on the NPL,
            which identifies sites eligible for Superfund-financed
            remedial action.

        •   Remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS):
            The RI/FS process is the framework for determining
            appropriate remedial actions at sites on the NPL.
            Remedial investigations are conducted to obtain
            information needed to identify, evaluate, and select
            cleanup alternatives.  The feasibility study is the
            actual analysis of alternatives based on technological,
            public health, institutional, cost, and environmental
            factors.  The RI/FS process was developed to identify
            the most appropriate, cost-effective remedy for a site.

        •   Remedial action design and construction:  The
            detailed design of the selected remedial action is
            developed and then implemented.

The Superfund Public Health Evaluation Manual provides detailed guidance for
the public health analysis that is part of the RI/FS process.


2.2  GUIDANCE FOR  REMEDIAL  INVESTIGATIONS  AND FEASIBILITY
     STUDIES

    As noted  in Section 2.1, the NCP requires that a remedial investigation
and feasibility study be conducted for sites listed on the National Priorities
List.  EPA has developed and published guidance for both the remedial
investigation (EPA, 1985b) and feasibility study (EPA, 1985a).  The RI/FS
guidance provides the context into which the public health evaluation fits.
The remedial  investigation and feasibility study are described briefly below.
For more details,  refer to the guidance documents referenced above.

    The Guidance for Remedial Investigations Under CERCLA is intended to
provide a detailed structure for field studies to support remedial decisions
under CERCLA.  The remedial investigation emphasizes data collection and site
characterization and is conducted concurrently with the feasibility study.
The remedial  investigation also supports remedial alternative evaluation and
design through bench and pilot studies.

    The initial activity in the remedial investigation is scoping.  The
scoping effort includes the collection and evaluation of existing data,
identification of remedial investigation objectives, and identification of
general response actions for the feasibility study.  A preliminary
                         * * *   October 1986

                                    -14-
determination of which  federal environmental and public health requirements
are applicable or relevant and appropriate to the site is also made as a part
of the scoping effort.

    Several activities  supporting  the  remedial investigation may require
preparation of specific plans or implementation of specific procedures.  These
include preparing a sampling plan;  identifying data management procedures;
planning for worker health and safety  needs; and identifying.and reviewing
institutional issues arising from  federal, state, and local regulations,
policies, and guidelines.

    Site characterization is the focal point of the remedial investigation and
involves collection and analysis of data needed for various types of
assessments in the feasibility study.  Because site data and complexity vary,
a multilevel approach to data collection is recommended, including problem
identification and scoping, followed by problem quantification, followed if
necessary by further problem quantification and detailed investigation.  The
focus, data needs, and  data evaluations conducted at each level of the
investigation are described in the  guidance document.

    The Guidance for Feasibility Studies Under CERCLA is intended to provide a
detailed structure for  identifying, evaluating, and selecting remedial action
alternatives under CERCLA.  The feasibility study process begins with
development of specific alternatives,  based on the general response actions
identified in the remedial investigation.  Remedial technologies are screened
for their applicability to the site.   Technologies considered appropriate are
then combined to form alternatives, which are screened on the basis'of public
health and environmental concerns  and  order-of-magnitude costs.

    Alternatives that pass the screening process undergo detailed analyses to
provide site decision-makers with  information for selecting an alternative
that is cost-effective.  The guidance  document describes methods for
engineering, institutional, public  health, environmental, and cost analyses.
The engineering analysis evaluates  constructability and reliability to ensure
the technical feasibility of alternatives.  The institutional analysis
examines alternatives in terms of  the  federal, state, or local requirements,
advisories, or guidance.  The public health evaluation,  for which this manual
provides more detailed  guidance, assesses potential health risks if no action
is taken and for remedial alternatives that are developed.  The environmental
analysis includes assessment of adverse environmental impacts if no action is
taken and the short- and long-term  effects of the alternatives.  The cost
analysis examines capital and operating costs of each alternative.

    Once the detailed analyses are  conducted, the information is organized to
compare findings of the evaluations for each alternative.  The objective of
this summary is to ensure that important information is presented in a concise
format so that the decision-maker can  choose the remedy that provides the best
balance of human health and environmental protection, engineering reliability,
and cost.

    Although there are  separate guidance documents, the remedial investigation
and the feasibility study are interdependent.  The activities comprising the
remedial investigation  and feasibility study are generally performed

data collection and site characterization, whereas the feasibility study
emphasizes data analysis and evaluation of alternatives.

2.3  CERCLA COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER  ENVIRONMENTAL  STATUTES

    Section 104 of CERCLA requires that wastes taken off-site during a
remedial action be disposed in a facility approved under Subtitle C of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).  CERCLA, however, does not
address the requirements of other federal environmental and public health laws          '
(e.g., Clean Water Act, Toxic Substances Control Act) in conducting on-site
response actions.9J                                                                    I

    The NCP requires that remedies selected for on-site CERCLA response
actions attain or exceed applicable or relevant and appropriate environmental          r
and public health requirements unless one of five specific situations                  [
exists.10-1  Other federal criteria, advisories, guidances, and state
standards should also be considered in fashioning CERCLA remedies and, if
pertinent, should be used.  For on-site actions (i.e.,  where wastes are                I
treated, stored, or disposed on-site), permits (e.g., federal/state RCRA or            I,
NPDES) are not required for CERCLA response actions; however, all appropriate
permits are required for off-site action.                                               f

    The CERCLA compliance with other environmental statutes policy is critical
to an evaluation of remedial alternatives and therefore must be reviewed               _
before remedial options are developed.  A copy of the policy is published as            I,
an appendix to the preamble of the NCP (50 Federal Register 47946-47950,               *•
November 20, 1985).  To the extent that it is both possible and appropriate,
at least one remedial alternative should be developed as part of the                   J
feasibility study in each of the following categories:                                  L

        •   alternatives for off-site treatment or disposal;                           i(

            appropriate Federal public health or environmental
            requirements;                                                              I

         •   alternatives that do not attain applicable or
            relevant and appropriate Federal public health or
            environmental requirements, but that will reduce the
            likelihood of present or future threat from the
            hazardous substances and that provide significant
            protection to public health, welfare, and the
            environment; and

         •   the no-action alternative.

    The  CERCLA compliance policy provides a list of requirements that are
potentially applicable or relevant and appropriate (i.e., must be used in the
development of alternatives) and other federal criteria, advisories,
guidances, and state standards that are to be considered and may be used if
pertinent.  In cases where requirements are deemed applicable or relevant and
appropriate to remedial actions developed and considered during the
feasibility study process, they should be applied carefully in the public
health evaluation, with consideration given to the economic and technical
factors  used to establish the requirement that may be significantly different
from circumstances at a specific Superfund site.  For instance, drinking water
maximum  contaminant levels (MCLs) are developed using certain economic
considerations that may not be appropriate to some Superfund sites.  In
addition, various requirements may be applicable at different points in the
exposure pathway.

    This manual provides guidance for incorporating applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements into the public health evaluation process.  Although
RCRA design and operating standards are clearly important requirements to
consider in remedial design at Superfund sites, they'are not discussed at
length in this manual because they do not provide ambient concentration levels
for chemicals.  This manual focuses on ambient chemical concentration
standards and criteria that can be used for comparison to baseline conditions
and to set quantitative performance goals.  The Office of Emergency and
Remedial Response is also preparing further guidance for implementing the
compliance policy.  That guidance, the Manual on CERCLA Compliance with Other
Environmental Statutes, will explain specifically how applicable or relevant
and appropriate requirements under other laws should be identified and used in
the design of remedial alternatives and will also include case studies to
illustrate different situations.  The manual is currently in draft form.   For
further  information contact the U.S. EPA CERCLA Docket Clerk, 401 M Street,
SW, Washington, DC  20460.


2.4  AGENCY POLICY  FOR  PLANNING  AND IMPLEMENTING
     OFF-SITE RESPONSE ACTIONS

    In 1985 EPA adopted a policy for Superfund response actions involving
off-site storage, treatment,  or disposal of CERCLA hazardous substances.11-1
             11J  "Procedures  for  Planning  and  Implementing Off-Site Response
        Actions," Memorandum from Jack W. McGraw, Acting Assistant Administrator for
        Solid Waste and Emergency Response  to EPA Regional Administrators, May 6, 1985,
                                 * * *   October 1986   * *

-------
                                                          OSWER Directive 9285.4-1


                                   -17-
The policy requires that certain criteria must be met in selecting a  hazardous
waste management facility to receive CERCLA hazardous substances.   The
facility must have either a permit or interim status under RCRA.   A RCRA
compliance inspection must have been performed within six months  prior  to
receiving the hazardous substances.  No Superfund hazardous substances  may  be
taken off-site to a RCRA facility if the facility has significant  RCRA
violations or other environmental conditions that affect the satisfactory
operation of the facility iinjoss the owner or oj-orator commits  to  correct the
problem and disposal occurs within the facility only at a new or  existing unit
in compliance with RCRA requirements.12-1   In addition, that new or existing
unit must not contribute in any significant way to adverse conditions at the
facility.  The policy also establishes a preference for response  actions .that
use treatment, reuse, or recycling rather than land disposal.

    Copies of the procedures and further information are available from the
U.S. EPA CERCLA Docket Clerk, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC  20460.


2.5  AGENCY GUIDELINES ON RISK ASSESSMENT

    EPA has adopted guidelines to improve consistency in Agency risk
assessments.   The guidelines address five areas:  carcinogenicity,
mutagenicity, reproductive effects, exposure assessments,  and assessment of
chemical mixtures (EPA, 1986a,b,c,d, and e).  Guidelines for assessment of
other systemic effects are currently in preparation.  The risk  assessment
guidelines were used in development of the procedures described in this manual
and of the supporting toxicity data provided in the Health Effects Assessment
Documents.  For further background scientific information, users  should obtain
and review these guidelines and their support documents.  Copies  are  available
from EPA's Office of Health and Environmental Assessment,  Technical
Information Staff, 410 M Street, SW, Washington, DC  20460.


2.6  MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING  BETWEEN EPA AND THE
     AGENCY FOR TOXIC  SUBSTANCES  AND DISEASE REGISTRY

    EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry  (ATSDR) have
developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to define and coordinate  joint
and respective responsibilities under CERCLA, Executive Order 12316,1SJ and
    12J Under the reauthorization bill, CERCLA wastes transported off-site
may only be disposed in a non-leaking waste disposal unit of a permitted RCRA
facility.  In addition the facility must be in compliance with RCRA corrective
action requirements for any other units that are found to be releasing wastes
into the environment.

    13J E.O. 12316 delegates to EPA the primary response authority under
CERCLA section 104 relating to release of hazardous substances, pollutants,  or
contaminants.  E.O. 12316 delegates to the Department of Health and Human
Services authorities for conducting activities relating to illness, disease,
and complaints thereof.

 the  NCP.   The MOU establishes  policies for conducting response  and  non-response
 health  activities related to releases of hazardous  substances.   A copy  of  the
 MOU  is  provided in Appendix E.lhJ

     Under  the current MOU,  ATSDR's  major responsibilities  include assessment
 of populations with current or potential exposure to  waste sites, development
 of health  advisories, and follow-up investigation of  populations to evaluate
 future  health effects.   As  defined  by the MOU,  EPA's  major health-related
 responsibilities  are risk assessment and risk management.   Risk assessment  is
 defined as  a  qualitative/quantitative process conducted  to characterize the
 nature  and  magnitude of potential risks  to public health from exposure  to
 hazardous  substances, pollutants, or contaminants released from specific
 Superfund  sites.   The framework for such EPA public health evaluations  is
 given in this procedures manual.

     Where ATSDR is involved, EPA and ATSDR are  to coordinate any
 health-related activities during the remedial process.   Health  assessments,
 health  advisories,  and  other information developed  by ATSDR should  be
 considered  by the public health evaluation team at  Superfund sites,  and
 appropriate data  and conclusions should  be incorporated  into the public health
 evaluation  process and  reports.  Likewise,  EPA  public health evaluations
 should  be made available to ATSDR for consideration during their analyses.  It
 is EPA's responsibility to  incorporate both the results  of risk assessments
 developed as  part of the public health evaluation process  and any ATSDR
 analyses into risk management  determinations of extent of  remedy.

     At  sites  where ATSDR is involved,  its  staff should be  consulted  for
 assistance  in interpretation of human health data,  such  as  clinical  or
 epidemiologic survey information.   The MOU clearly  states  that  if human
 subjects testing  is  necessary,  ATSDR will  be responsible for such testing and
 will coordinate it with EPA.

     Under reauthorization ATSDR will be  required to conduct health  assessments
 for  all sites on  or proposed for addition  to the NPL,  according to  a
 statutorily mandated schedule.   The purpose of  these  ATSDR  health assessments
 is to assist  in determining whether actions should  be taken to  reduce human
 exposure to hazardous substances and whether additional  information  (e.g.,
 epidemiologic studies,  disease  registries,  health surveillance  programs) on
 human exposure and associated  health risk  is needed.  Although  both EPA and
 ATSDR are responsible for developing independent analyses  related to public
 health, EPA is solely responsible for  making risk management decisions  based
 on these analyses.   Currently,  EPA  and ATSDR are working together to define
 the  roles and responsibilities  of the  two  agencies  under reauthorization and
 the  relationship  between EPA public health  evaluations and ATSDR health
 assessments.   In  addition,  a procedures  document to better  integrate ATSDR
 health  assessments  in the RI/FS  process  is  being developed.

FROM:     Henry  L. Longest II,  Directoi
          Office of  Emergency and  Remec

TO:       Addressees


     I am transmitting  to you the  Superfund Public Health
Evaluation Manual.   The manual  is  a supplement  to Chapter  5
of the Guidance  for  Feasibility Studies which briefly describes
the requirements for conducting a  public health  evaluation.
The manual contains  the necessary  policies and procedures
for analyzing public health risks  at Superfund sites and for
developing health-based clean up levels for remedial actions.
It also will assist  in  determining the appropriate data to
be collected during  the Remedial Investigation.  In addition
to describing the appropriate procedures,  the manual addresses
potential changes in the public health evaluation process
that are likely as a result of CKRCLA reauthorization.  It
may be necessary to  revise the manual accordingly at a  later
date to incorporate  any changes that do occur.   The manual
provides a basis for ensuring that public  health evaluations
will be consistent from Region to  Region.  We plan to distribute
additional technical materials as  soon as possible to support
the public health evaluation process and other Superfund risk
assessment activities.

Who are the users of the manual?

     The Superfund Public Healtn Evaluation Manual has been
developed for use by a diverse audience, including EPA Regional
staff, State Superfund program staff, Federal and State
remedial contractors and potentially responsible parties.
Individuals having different levels of scientific training
and experience are likely to use the manual in designing,
conducting and reviewing public health evaluations.  However,
the manual is not intended for use by non-technical personnel
to perform technical evaluations.   In addition,  the manual
is not a "cookbook."  The manual is designed to  be flexible,
requiring the use of professional  judgment.

-------
                              -2-

 How  is  the  manual  organized?

      The manual  is divided  into nine  chapters.   Some  of  the
 chapters are  applicable  to  all sites,  while  some are  applicable
 to a  subset of sites.  Chapter 1  is an overview  of  the entire
 Superfund public health  evaluation framework.  The  second
 chapter provides background on Agency  rules, policies, and
 guidance relevant  to  the public health evaluation process.
 Chapters 3  through 7 give procedures  for a baseline public
 health evaluation, and Chapter 8  presents methods to  formulate
 health-based  clean up levels  for  remedial alternatives.  The
 final chapter provides guidance on how to summarize and  present
 the results of the analysis.  Additional information  (e.g.
 toxicity information) related to  the public  health evaluation
 process is  included in several appendices to the manual.

 How does this relate to  Endangerment Assessments and  Health
 Assessments?

      Endangerment  assessments are described  in the Endangerment
 Assessment  Guidance and  the Endangerment Assessment Handbook
 released by EPA's  Office of Waste Programs Enforcement.  The
 endangerment  assessment, conducted to  support administrative
 and judicial  enforcement actions  under Section 106 of CERCLA
 and Section 7003 of RCRA, provides documentation and  justifi-
 cation that an imminent  and substantial endangerment  to public
 health or welfare  or the environment may exist.  Although the
 Endangerment  Assessment  Handbook  briefly describes how to
 conduct the assessment and prepare the necessary documentation,
 the technical details for performing the assessment are
 provided in the  Superfund Public  Health Evaluation Manual.
 The handbook  cross-references the manual to avoid unnecessary
 duplication of technical detail.

     This manual does not describe the procedures for
 conducting  a  "health assessment"  which is the responsibility
 of the Agency for  Toxic  Substances and Disease Registry
 (ATSDR).  Currently, EPA and ATSDR are working together to
 define the  roles and responsibilities of the two agencies
 under reauthorization and the relationship between the EPA
 public health evaluation and the  ATSDR health assessment.
 This guidance will be provided to you as soon as possible.


 What additional risk assessment information is available?

     In addition to the Superfund Public Health Evaluation
 Manual, OERR has developed supplementary risk assessment
materials,   including:

 1) Health Effects Assessments (HEAS)  for 58 toxic
   chemicals  typically found at Superfund sites.  The HEAs
   provide  a rapid  index  of  up-to-date physical,  chemical

-------
                              -3-

    and toxicological information.   Copies of the HEAs are
    available through the National  Technical Information
    Service (NTIS PB Number 86 134111/AS);

 2)  a  Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual (May 20,  1986
    Draft).   The Manual provides methods  for analyzing chemical
    releases  from sites and assessing fate and transport in
    environmental media.   The information contained  in the
    manual  supports  the public health evaluation process,  and
    also other analyses conducted during  the feasibility study
    such as the evaluation of environmental  impacts,  and
    technical evaluations;

 3)  a  Risk  Assessment Information Directory,  which will  be
    distributed to the Regions during the next few weeks.
    The directory has been developed to facilitate access  to
    risk assessment  information throughout the Agency.   It
    presents  information  that fall  into the  following  categories;
    automated data bases;  data files and  tapes;  models;  manuals,
    directories,  and  periodicals; publications;  and human
    resources;

 4)  a  Public  Health Risk  Evaluation  Database,  which will also
    be  distributed during  the next  few weeks.   This personal
    computer  software package is  designed to  provide a summary
    of  the  chemical,  physical and toxicological  data, and
    health-based  standards  and criteria for  CERCLA hazardous
    substances.   This data  has been  abstracted  from the  HEAs,
    the Superfund Public  Health Evaluation Manual, and other
    Agency  sources.   The  data will  be periodically updated as
    new information becomes  available.

 Conclusion

     We will  be  sending  additional  copies of  the Superfund
 Public  Health  Evaluation Manual  to  the Regions  over the next
 few weeks and  will also make the manual  available through
 NTIS.   Please  be  responsible for making  initial copies of the
manual  available  to  the  States.  Any questions  or comments
with regard  to the manual,  or  the support materials should
be  directed  to Dr. Craig  Zamuda  (382-2201) of  the Policy
Analysis Staff for OERR.

                                     STEP 1:   SELECTION OF
                                     INDICATOR CHEMICALS
    The baseline public health evaluation process consists of five steps,
which are shown in the flowchart given earlier in Exhibit 1-1.  These steps
are discussed  individually  in Chapters 3 through 7.  As emphasized in Chapter
1, not all steps will be needed at all sites because of variability in site.
conditions.

    Prior to initiating these five steps, available site data relevant to
detailed public health evaluation should be gathered, organized, and
reviewed'.  Among the types  of information to be collected are site background
data, disposal history (and records, if available), types of remedial actions
being considered, on-site and off-site chemical analysis data, site
characterization data necessary for exposure assessment (e.g., topography,
hydrogeology), information  on local human populations, and any human body
burden and health effects data (unlikely to be available at many sites).   Data
sources will include preliminary assessments and reports, site inspection
reports, Field Investigation Team (FIT) reports, remedial investigation
scoping documentation, analytical data and reports available from ongoing site
characterization (RI) and alternatives screening (FS) activities, and ATSDR
health assessments.

    The next task of the public health evaluation is to determine whether
indicator chemicals need to be selected for the site.  The indicator chemical
selection procedure described here is designed to identify the "highest risk"
chemicals at a site so that the public health evaluation is focused on the
chemicals of greatest concern.  In general, if less than 10 to 15 chemicals
are actually identified at  a site, this indicator selection step is not
necessary.  In such cases,  proceed to Chapter 4 and evaluate all of the
chemicals at the site.  This "shortcut" will be especially useful when only a
very few chemicals are present at a site and a simple quantitative analysis is
appropriate.  However, remedial investigation sampling at hazardous waste
sites often demonstrates the presence of a large number of chemical
substances.   In such instances, conducting a public health evaluation that
includes all the identified chemicals may be unnecessarily time-consuming.  To
avoid unnecessary effort, the Superfund process is based on selected indicator
chemicals that pose the g.-eatest potential public health risk at a site.   Such
indicator chemicals must be chosen carefully so that they represent the most
toxic, mobile,  and persistent chemicals at the site, as well as those present
in the largest amounts (i.e., the "highest risk" chemicals).

    Step 1 of the baseline  analysis (i.e., analysis of a site under an
assumption of no remedial action) is selection, if necessary, of a subset of
the chemicals present at a  site as indicator chemicals.  An outline of this
step is presented in Exhibit 3-1, and procedures for the selection are given
in the remainder of this chapter.  The toxicity data required to complete the
selection procedure for many commonly found chemicals are listed in Exhibits
C-3 and C-5  in Appendix C.  Appendix D documents the methods used to derive
the toxicity data given in  Exhibits C-3 and C-5.

    Two  important  factors  for  ranking chemicals  in the indicator chemical
 selection  process  are  their measured concentrations at the site and their
 toxicity.  Additional  factors  to be considered include physical and chemical
 parameters related to  environmental mobility and persistence.  The indicator
 chemicals  selected for the baseline public health evaluation by following the
 procedures in  this chapter will be reviewed later for applicability to the
 remedial alternatives.  Because of concerns related to treatability and
 additional exposure pathways,  more chemicals may need to be assessed in the
 analysis of  remedial alternatives  (see Section 8.1).

    It is  emphasized that  the  indicator chemical selection process presented
 here  is not  supposed to contravene professional  judgment.  If, after
 completing the procedures  given in this chapter, certain chemicals considered
 to be potentially  significant  are not selected,  do not hesitate to include
 them.  Simply  amend Worksheet  3-5 with an explanation of the reasoning and why
 this process did not identify  them.  It is not intended that the indicator
 chemical selection process exclude any chemical  that may cause significant
 human or environmental  harm.   Rather, the intent of the process is to ensure
 that all chemicals posing  a significant risk to  human health are addressed and
 to focus the public health evaluation on the primary chemicals of concern.


 3.1  DEVELOP INITIAL LIST  OF INDICATOR CHEMICALS

    The first  task in  the  indicator chemical selection process is development
 of an initial  indicator chemical list, which is  based principally on chemical
 toxicity information,  site concentration data, and environmental mobility as
 reflected  in K  I5J (the organic carbon partition coefficient) values.   K   is

 considered to  account  for  the  possibility of substances leaching out of the
 soil and being introduced  into surface and ground water.  The initial list
 will eventually be pared down  using additional factors to develop a final
 indicator  list.  The indicator chemical selection process is designed for
 sites with large numbers of chemicals where consideration of all physical,
 chemical,  and  concentration information at one time is too cumbersome.   If
 only a moderate number  of  chemicals are present  at a site, all toxicity,
 chemical,  and  physical  factors may be considered simultaneously.

    Each chemical  detected at  the site above local background levels is
 scored.  If, based on  recent monitoring data in  the site vicinity, it is clear
 that levels of certain  chemicals do not exceed local background
 concentrations, and there  is no known source (e.g., intact drums, waste pile)
 at the site, these chemicals may be excluded from the evaluation.  However,
 determining background  may be  difficult.  If there is a question about what
 background is  or the relation  of a chemical concentration to background,
 report these doubts but do not exclude the chemical from the evaluation.
    15J A chemical's K   is being used as an estimator of environmental
mobility.  In general, chemicals with high values have correspondingly high
bioconcentration factors, whereas chemicals with low values will tend to be
leachable from soil and mobile in ground water.  A more detailed discussion of
K   is presented later in the text of this chapter.

    The following algorithm is used to score each chemical measured at the
site:                                            '
                                    3
                             IS  =  Z (C   • T  )
                               i   J=l  ij    ij
where
        IS. = indicator score for chemical i (unitless)

        C.. = concentration of chemical i in medium j at the site based on

              monitoring data (units must be mg/1 in water, mg/kg in soil, or
              mg/m3 in air)
        T.. = a toxicity constant for chemical i in medium j (units are

              the inverse of above concentration units).

    Concentration values used in this equation for a .given chemical should be
representative of all available site monitoring data that have been QA/QC
validated.  Toxicity constants (T values) are derived for each environmental
medium and two types of toxic effects (carcinogenicity and other chronic
effects).  Exhibit 3-2 lists for each medium of concern the units of
concentration that should be used to express exposure levels, the exposure
route (e.g., ingestion or inhalation), and the corresponding toxicity
constants and their units.  In all cases, toxicity constant units are the
inverse of their respective concentration units so that indicator scores
(OT) will always be unitless.  Essentially, the indicator score is a ratio
between measured concentration and a toxicity-based concentration benchmark
that is used to rank the site chemicals.

    Toxicity constants for noncarcinogens (Tn) are derived from the minimum
effective dose (MED) for chronic effects, a severity of effect factor,  and
standard factors for body weight and oral or inhalation intake (e.g., 70 kg
body weight, 2 liters/day of drinking water, 20 cubic meters/day of air).
Toxicity constants for potential carcinogens (Tc) are based on the dose at
which a 10 percent incremental carcinogenic response is observed (ED  ) and

the same standard intake and body weight factors.  The intake factor for soil
toxicity constants is based on an assumption of 100 milligrams of soil consumed
per day for 2- to 6-year-olds (EPA, 1984).

    Toxicity constants, T, are medium-specific.  The toxicity constant for use
                                                     w
with drinking water concentrations is referred to as  T, whereas one for
                         3.                                         S
concentrations in air is  T, and one for concentrations in soil is  T.

Values for toxicity constants ( T,  i, and ST) for a number of compounds
are given in Appendix C.  Appendix D describes in detail the methods used for
calculating the toxicity constants in Appendix C.  The data base for this
procedure is adopted from the supporting documentation for the Superfund"
Reportable Quantities rulemaking.  Its use for selection of indicator chemicals
at Superfund sites will be reconsidered if another more appropriate data base
becomes available for ranking the toxicity of a large number of chemicals.

    Because of probable differences in dose-response mechanisms (non-threshold
vs. threshold), potential carcinogens (PCs) and noncarcinogens (NCs) are
scored and selected independently.  Indicator scores for carcinogens and
noncarcinogens are not on comparable scales and should never be  compared.

     To begin the indicator selection process,  use Worksheet 3-1 to list  all
 compounds found at the site.   For each compound record its  Chemical Abstract
 Service (CAS) number and K   value from Appendix C.   Record the maximum  and

 minimum observed concentrations  as well as  a "representative" concentration
 for each compound.  Determination of the representative concentration should
 be based on an analysis of all the site monitoring data,  with the  goal being
 to represent long range trends at potential human exposure  points.   It may be
 appropriate to use a geometric or arithmetic mean of some or all of the  samples
 as the most representative concentration, or it may be more appropriate  to
 choose a concentration that reflects a time trend occurring at the site.  Use
 the monitoring data most relevant to a public health evaluation at  the  site.
 For example, simply averaging upgradient and downgradient well results would
 usually be inappropriate.   To get a concentration that represents  the concen-
 tration of chemicals in a ground-water plume,  the mean should generally  be
 calculated based on samples where the chemical  has been detected,  not including
 samples below detection limits.   Focus on data  from locations nearest to expo-
 sure points.  Also, consider detection frequency in determining a  representa-
 tive concentration, giving relatively less  weight to chemicals detected
 infrequently.   Be sure to be consistent for all chemicals within each medium
 so that the selection process is not biased (i.e., do not choose a geometric
 mean concentration for one chemical and an  arithmetic mean  for a second).

     Indicate on the worksheet the basis for the representative concentration
 chosen and note any assumptions  or additional  information required to use this
 information.  If there are concerns about use  of these concentrations, note
.them.   For example, even if the  concentrations  adequately represent the
 quantitative monitoring information available,  they may not seem to reflect
 the reality of a 450,000-gallon  lined lagoon whose liner may fail  at any
 time.   Another concern related to representativeness of monitoring data  is
 detectability.   If there is reason to believe  that a chemical is present but
 is not being detected by the sampling and analytical protocols used,  be  sure
 to note this also.  If a chemical is considered sufficiently important,  it may
 be chosen as an indicator chemical regardless  of its concentration.   Also note
 any chemicals that were identified analytically but for which no quantitative
 data are available.

     After completing Worksheet 3-1, refer to Appendix C to  determine each
 compound's toxicologic class  (potential carcinogen (PC) and/or noncarcinogen
 (NC)),  severity rating value (noncarcinogens)  or weight-of-evidence rating
                                                    w   s       a
 (carcinogens),  and appropriate toxicity constants ( T,  T,  and  T).
 Enter this information on Worksheet 3-2.  If a  chemical is  designated as both
 a  PC and NC, complete the indicator scoring procedure for it in both
 toxicologic classes.  Generally, compounds  not  listed in Appendix  C or with
 insufficient data for indicator  scoring should  be classified as unknown  under
 toxicologic class. 1SJ   These substances should  be listed in the final report
     1SJ  Users  should be aware that a few chemicals  (e.g.,  dichloromethane)
 have  the necessary toxicity values for risk characterization (Exhibits  C-4  and
 C-6)  but not for indicator selection (Exhibits  C-3  and C-5).   This  results
 from  the use of different toxicity data bases  for deriving indicator selection
 parameters  and risk characterization parameters.  Therefore,  be sure not  to
 exclude  chemicals simply because they lack the  toxicity constants necessary
 for  indicator  selection.

 to provide  an  indication  of  the  uncertainty  associated with omitted chemicals
 and  to  assist  headquarters personnel  in  identifying data gaps.  If you have
 reason  to believe  that  these compounds may be  significant  at your site,
 contact the Environmental Criteria  and Assessment Office (ECAO), U.S. EPA, 26
 W. St.  Clair Street,  Cincinnati,  Ohio 45268, for guidance  in estimating the
 necessary toxicity constants.

     The next task  is  to calculate IS  values  for each chemical.  List all
 potential carcinogens on  Worksheet  3-3 and all noncarcinogens on Worksheet
 3-4.  Calculate C  times T (C»T)  for each medium for each chemical, using
 both the peak  and  the representative  concentrations.  To develop an indicator
 score (IS), sum the C»T values across media.   If a compound is present in
 both ground and surface water use only the higher C«T value for these two
 media (i.e., do not include  both  in the  IS score).  This approach for water
 makes the-conservative  assumption that all drinking water  is obtained from the
 source giving  the  higher  C*T value.   Rank the  compounds on these two
 worksheets  separately on  the basis  of the indicator scores.
    Record on Worksheet 3-5,  in rank order based on IS values, the top-scoring
10 to 15 compounds  from both  Worksheet 3-3 (potential carcinogenic effects)
and Worksheet 3-4  (noncarcinogenic effects).  Compare the list of chemicals on
Worksheet 3-5 to the chemicals identified with either an H or an L on
Worksheet 3-1 (H indicates one of 10 chemicals with highest K   values, L

indicates one of 10 with  lowest).  If an important exposure scenario at the
site involves consumption of  contaminated fish and none of the 10 chemicals
designated with an H made it  onto the initial list, consider placing one or
more of them onto that list.  Also, if exposure via ground-water contamination
is a concern and none of the  10 chemicals designated with an L made it onto
the initial indicator list, consider enlarging the list to include one or more
of these chemicals.

    The list of 20 to 30 compounds on Worksheet 3-5 is the initial list of
indicator chemicals from which the final set of indicators is selected for the
site.  In most cases the initial list and final selection should be based on
representative concentrations, although indicator scores based on maximum or
peak concentrations may be used to modify the selection.  There is no
predetermined number of indicator chemicals appropriate for all sites; between
5 and 10 chemicals would be a manageable number and may be sufficient for most
sites.  However, if a very large number of chemicals has been detected at a
site, it may be wise to select more indicators.  The number and identity of
indicator chemicals selected  is a site-specific decision that must be made and
documented for the site.  Guidance for making the final selection is given in
the following section.


3.2  SELECT  FINAL INDICATOR CHEMICALS

    Final selection of indicator chemicals is not based on a numerical ranking
algorithm or set of precise decision rules.  Instead,  there are several
chemical-specific factors to consider, plus a few general selection rules.
The initial factor to consider is the relative indicator scores (IS) of the
chemicals.   The IS, based in part on concentrations at the site,  has already
been used to rank chemicals for the initial indicator chemical list (Worksheet
3-5).   In general,  higher ranking chemicals based on representative IS values

should  be  selected  in  preference to lower  ranking  chemicals  within  the  same
toxicologic  class  (PC  or  NC).   This rule can  be  modified, however,  on the
basis of the additional selection factors  discussed below.   Consideration
should  also  be  given to the  quantity of chemicals  found  at the  site.  Some
pollutants may  not  appear in very high concentration but may be distributed
throughout the  entire  site,  adding up to a substantial total quantity.

    Because  values  of  IS  for PC and NC are not directly  comparable, the IS
value is not relevant  to  a determination of the  relative number of  PC and NC
to select.   In  fact, this determination is subjective.   Always  include  at
least some of both  classes,  and consider the  relative number of PC  and  NC
present at the  site (e.g., if  90 percent of the  chemicals at a  site are
noncarcinogens, probably  more  noncarcinogens  than  carcinogens should be
selected).   In  any  case,  include several top-ranked (by  IS)  PC  and NC as
indicator'chemicals unless there are extremely strong site-specific reasons
for doing  otherwise.

    Although IS is  the initial selection factor, several additional factors
are also important.  These factors include five  important chemical properties
related to exposure potential:   water solubility,  vapor  pressure, Henry's Law
constant,  organic carbon  partition coefficient (K  ), and persistence in

various media.  High or low'values of any  of  these factors for  a chemical
found at a site may produce  a  high future  exposure potential  and may warrant
inclusion  of a  particular chemical in the  list of  indicator  chemicals despite
a low IS score.  Values for  these factors  are given in Appendix C for many
chemicals.   Record  appropriate values for  the preliminary indicator chemicals
listed on Worksheet 3-5.   For  chemicals not listed in Appendix  C, determine
values using sources listed  in Appendix C  or  other standard  references.  Also,
estimation techniques  are available for many physical/chemical  parameters and
have been  summarized in Lyman  et al.  (1982) and  Mabey et al.  (1982).  Use of
estimation techniques  in  the absence of experimental data is  encouraged, as
long as the  procedures are documented.

    Clearly,  other  chemical  properties  could  affect exposures and risks at a
specific site.  However,  to  limit the amount of  data to  be collected and
considered,  the indicator selection procedure focuses on the  five properties
listed above.  These properties are important, but not exclusive, determinants
of environmental transport and fate.   Some of the  properties have different
implications  for different exposure pathways.  As  a result,  consideration of
the potentially important exposure pathways at a site is important when
applying physical/chemical factors in the  selection process.  A brief
description  of the  relevance of each property to potential chemical release,
transport, and  fate is given below.   Additional  discussion of these parameters
is available  in numerous  references,  including Kenaga and Goring (1978), Lyman
et al. (1982), Nelson  et  al.  (1983),  and Maki et al. (1980).

    Water  solubility is the maximum concentration of a chemical  that
dissolves in pure water at a specific temperature  and pH.  Solubility of an
inorganic species can vary widely,  depending on  temperature, pH, Eh "(redox
potential),  and the types and  concentrations of  complexing species present.
Solubilities  range  from less than 1  ppb to greater than  100,000 ppm, with most
common organics falling between 1  and 100,000 ppm  (Lyman, 1982a).  Water
solubility is a critical  property affecting environmental fate  (Menzer  and
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

                                   -32-
Nelson, 1980).  Highly soluble chemicals can be rapidly leached from wastes
and contaminated soil and are generally mobile in ground water.  Solubility is
one of the controlling factors affecting leachate strength and migration of
chemicals from waste sites  (along with sorption potential, soil type, and
water infiltration).  Soluble chemicals also tend to be more readily
biodegradable than those with low solubility (Lyman, 19S2a).   Water solubility
is especially important in  the evaluation of aquatic exposure pathways.
Solubility affects "leachability" into both ground water and surface water,
and highly soluble compounds are usually less strongly adsorbed (thus more
mobile) in both ground and  surface water.  Solubility, along with several
other factors, also affects volatilization from water -- in general, high
solubility is associated with lower volatilization rates (Menzer and Nelson,
1980).

    Some chemicals may be measured at a site at concentrations higher than
their water solubilities.  This situation can arise in the case of non-aqueous
phase liquids (i.e., liquids that are not dissolved in water and that form a
second liquid layer, often  floating on top of an aqueous phase or perched on
top of an aquifer).  In these cases almost pure contaminant may be found.
Also, contaminants may be dissolved in the non-aqeous phase at concentrations
higher than their water solubilities.  Chemicals detected at concentrations
higher than their water solubilities may warrant special consideration in
selection of indicator chemicals.

    Vapor pressure and Henry's  Law constant are two measures of chemical
volatility and thus are important in evaluating air exposure pathways.  Vapor
pressure is a relative measure of the volatility of a chemical in its pure
state (Jaber et al., 1984).  Vapor pressures of liquids range from 0.001 to

760 torr (mm Hg), with solids ranging down to 10   (Grain, 1982).   Vapor
pressure is an important determinant of the rate of vaporization from waste
sites, but other factors, including temperature and wind speed, degree of
adsorption, water solubility, and soil conditions, are also important.  Vapor
pressure is most directly relevant to exposure pathways involving chemical
releases to air from spills or contaminated surface soils.  Henry's Law
constant,  which combines vapor pressure with solubility and molecular weight,
is more appropriate for estimating releases to air from contaminated water
(e.g., ponds, lagoons) and  should be used to evaluate chemicals for which this
type of pathway is expected.  At sites where air exposure pathways are not
important, these two factors should not be used in the selection of final
indicator chemicals.

    The organic carbon partition  coefficient  (K   )  is  a measure  of

relative sorption potential for organics and is a significant environmental
fate determinant for all exposure pathways, especially aqueous pathways.  The
K   indicates the tendency  of an organic chemical to be adsorbed,  and it is

largely independent of soil properties (Lyman, 1982b).  K   is expressed as
                                                         oc
the ratio of amount of chemical adsorbed per unit weight of organic carbon to
the chemical concentration  in solution at equilibrium.  Therefore:

                    K   = mg adsorbed/kg organic carbon
                     oc   —^	'—	
                            mg dissolved/liter solution
                           * *   October 1986

-------
                                    -33-
The  normal  range  of  K   values  is  from  1.to  107, with higher  values

indicating  greater sorption  potential (Lyman,  1982b).  Many other partition
coefficients  exist  (e.g.,  K   ,  K,, K  ), but K  was selected for this
                           om    a   ow         oc
purpose  because it is chemical-specific  (essentially independent of  soil
conditions) and for  organics is directly related to soil and  sediment
sorption, both of which  are  significant chemical fate processes at many
Superfund sites.  For inorganics,  some other parameter such as the
distribution  coefficient for a  specific soil type  (K.) or  the maximum

exchangeable  mass may be a better  measure of relative adsorption potential.

     The  significance  and interpretation of K   varies with different exposure

pathways.   For ground water, low K  values  indicate faster leaching from the

waste source  into an  aquifer and relatively  rapid  transport through  the aquifer
(i.e., limited retardation of the  chemical).   K    is directly proportional to

the  retardation factor,  which is used in many  ground-water transport models.
Therefore,  among  chemicals with similar IS values  due to ground-water pathways,
high mobility (low K   )  chemicals  generally would  be of more  concern.  If a

chemical with a low K   is present at a high concentration in soil but is

not  chosen  because of a  low  IS  value, consider adding it to the final
indicator list.
                              i
     For  surface water pathways,  K   also has.several significant

implications.  A  high K    indicates tight bonding  of a chemical to soil,

which means that  less  of the chemical will be dissolved in site runoff, but
also implies  that runoff of  contaminated soil particles may occur over a
longer time period.   At  some Superfund sites, direct recharge of surface water
by ground water is important; in these situations,  because of ground-water
mobility considerations,  chemicals with high K   are of relatively lower

concern.   Once a  chemical  gets  into surface water,  however, a high K   may

be of great concern because  it  indicates a tendency to bioaccumulate (K   is
                                                                       oc
related  to bioaccumulation potential).  If aquatic food chain pathways are
possibly significant,  this implication of K   should be considered.   The
K    value also indicates  the relative amount of sediment adsorption in
 oc                                                           ^
surface waters.

     An example of the  consideration of K   in indicator chemical selection
           r                            oc
follows.   For a site with:   (1) potential ground-water exposure pathways, (2)
high soil concentrations of a chemical with low K  , and (3)  low
                                                 oc
concentrations of the  same chemical in available ground-water monitoring data,
consideration should be  given to selecting that chemical despite its probable
low  indicator score.   The  combination of low K  " and high  soil concentration
                                              oc
indicates that significant releases of the chemical to ground water are
possible in the future.

                                                         OSWER Directive 9285.4-1     I

                                   -34-


    The final chemical property to be considered in the indicator selection
process is persistence in various environmental media.  This property is a            t
measure of how  long a chemical will exist in a given medium, obviously a              I
critical factor  in assessing exposure potential.  Important removal processes
are phase transfer (e.g., water to air, soil to water), chemical
transformation  (hydrolysis, photolysis), and biological transformation.               I'
Available persistence data are given in Appendix C as ranges of overall               I
half-lives (i.e., due to all removal processes) in air, soil, ground water,
and surface water.  If half-life values from other sources are used, be sure          IJ
to determine whether they represent overall disappearance rates or whether            |
they correspond  to a specific removal mechanism.

    Half-lives of chemicals vary from seconds to thousands of years.  Small           I
half-lives generally indicate a lower level of concern, although degradation
products may have a higher toxicity or environmental mobility than the                 '
original chemical.  In considering persistence as a secondary factor for              [
selecting indicator chemicals, you must consider the exposure pathways                L
contributing to  the IS score (Worksheets 3-3 and 3-4).  Do not use relative
persistence in one medium to approximate it in another because the important          I
removal processes may be very different.                                              i
                                                                                      *• i
    One additional factor, to be considered for potential carcinogens only, is
the qualitative  weight-of-evidence rating.  This rating is an indication of the       I
quality and quantity of data underlying a chemical's designation as a potential       *
human carcinogen.  The categories of evidence for human carcinogenicity include
sufficient, limited, and inadequate.   Chemicals on the preliminary indicators         |~
list with sufficient evidence of human carcinogenicity (EPA Group A) and              L *
chemicals with  limited human evidence and sufficient animal evidence (EPA
Group Bl) should generally be selected as final indicators unless there are           ..
convincing reasons to do otherwise.  For chemicals with similar IS values,            |
ones with stronger weight-of-evidence should usually be selected.

    Using the preceding discussion as guidance, make the final selection of           j <
indicator chemicals.  Starting with the initial chemical list given in                *
Worksheet 3-5, consider IS scores and relevant additional factors in the final
selection process.  Indicate on Worksheet 3-5 the final selections and the            r

                 STEP 2:  ESTIMATION OF EXPOSURE POINT
                CONCENTRATIONS  OF INDICATOR  CHEMICALS
    This chapter describes methods for estimating baseline environmental
concentrations of indicator chemicals so that the extent and duration of  human
exposure in the absence of any remedial action can be determined.   During the
remedial investigation, it is essential to collect sufficient environmental
sampling data so that if contamination has reached a human exposure point,
some actual data may be used in the evaluation of potential effects.   However,
at many Superfund sites, contamination has not yet reached the point of human
exposure*  As a result, it is necessary to estimate how and when such exposure
will take place._.  Chemical fate and transport equations and models  may be
useful for predicting exposures.  Many models, ranging widely in
sophistication, data input requirements, cost, and reliability,  are
available.  Ultimately, the remedial project manager must decide what model to
use in exposure assessment.  Consideration should be given to the complexity
of the site and the environment, the precision needed, and the time available
for analysis.  The Superfund Exposure Assessment  Manual, a companion to
this manual, describes the various models available and provides guidance in
selecting appropriate modeling techniques for each site.  It should be
recognized, however, that the uncertainty associated with modeling  results can
be significant.

    At most sites, a combination of site monitoring data and environmental
modeling results will be required to estimate chemical concentrations  at
exposure points.  Alone, both types of information have considerable
drawbacks.  Taken together, site monitoring data and environmental  modeling
offer the best approach to estimating exposure levels.

    Site monitoring data have the advantage of being actual measurements  of
chemical concentrations on and in the vicinity of the site.  Within the
accuracy and precision of the sampling and analysis procedures,  these
measurements are real chemical levels representative of the sampling time,
location, and medium.17-1  Consideration of site monitoring data  alone,
however, has several disadvantages for public health evaluation, particularly
for assessment of long-term effects.  Potential drawbacks include:

        •   Temporal representativeness -- Monitoring data may be
            representative of current arid/or past conditions,  but do
            not give a clear indication of future conditions.   Often
            at Superfund sites the sampling history is too short to
            detect time trends, especially in ground water.  Because
            it is necessary to predict future exposures to quantify
            long-term risks, especially if contaminants have yet to
            reach any exposure points, monitoring data must be
    17J  Site monitoring data should be QA/QC  validated before  use  in the
risk assessment process.

            supplemented by some kind of environmental fate modeling
            (or simple assumptions, such as that concentration will
            remain constant or continue to change at the observed
            trend for the next 70 years).  Over-reliance on
            environmental monitoring data can lead to an
            underetnphasis on chemicals not yet released from a
            source and on slow-moving chemicals that have not yet
            reached monitoring points.  Source monitoring data can
            help identify these chemicals.

        •   Spatial representativeness -- Monitoring data are
            representative of their sampling locations, which may or
            may not be relevant to a risk assessment.  In the past,
            monitoring at Superfund sites was often conducted
            on-site at or near a contaminant source.  Because
            chemical concentrations are spatially variable, and
            available data may not cover off-site human exposure
            points, monitoring data usually must be supplemented by
            modeling to allow an adequate assessment of public
            health effects.

    The extreme time and space variability of environmental concentration data
at Superfund sites and the need for projections of future health risks, often
at off-site exposure points, necessitate the use of chemical fate modeling
along with site monitoring data.  Monitoring usually represents a time
"window" that is too small and a spatial distribution that is tod limited to
fully represent site conditions.  However, at all sites the available
monitoring data must be reviewed thoroughly and used to the extent possible.
For example, monitoring data should always be used to assist in selection,
calibration, and verification of chemical fate models and to help in the
estimation of source terms (i.e., release rates) for these models.

    Environmental fate modeling at Superfund sites also has significant
disadvantages.  However, models can project chemical concentrations over space
and time and thus overcome the major drawback to site monitoring data.  With
all fate models, especially ones dealing with long-term subsurface transport,
there is considerable uncertainty.  Ground-water models have not been
validated over the long time periods of concern, and many subsurface
environments (e.g., anisotropic, heterogeneous) are not well suited to
available models.  More sophisticated computer models are expensive to use,
often require extensive data inputs, and still may not be very accurate
because of limitations in the characterization of the source term or other
input data.  Thus, simple environmental fate models using conservative (i.e.,
reasonable worst case) assumptions are usually most appropriate for Superfund
sites.

    In the event that data from human monitoring in the site vicinity (e.g.,
blood or tissue analyses, genetic testing data) are available or such
monitoring is planned, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) should be consulted.  ATSDR should take the lead in conducting any
human monitoring and in assessing the current health status of people near the
site based on human monitoring data.

    At some Superfund sites, background  chemical contamination is
significant and  should be  accounted  for in the public health  evaluation.
Background is defined here as chemical contamination due to a source other
than the site under evaluation.  Background can be either  "natural," as in the
case of certain  inorganics such as arsenic, or from various anthropogenic
sources (e.g., industrial  point sources,  other uncontrolled waste sites,
agricultural pesticide applications).  Try to define local background
conditions for chemicals of concern  based on recent monitoring data, such as
RI site characterization results, at locations clearly unaffected by the site
(e.g., upgradient, upwind).  Three or four upgradient samples taken on one day
are insufficient to establish background.  However, if background conditions
can be assessed with confidence based on  available monitoring data, this
information should be incorporated into the evaluation.  Information resources
such as the U.S. Geological Survey,  the Soil Conservation  Service, the Army
Corps of-Engineers, and state land use agencies may be helpful in determining
background concentrations.

    The recommended option for including  background is to  estimate all
chemical concentrations, intakes, and risks for two scenarios:  (1) actual
conditions at the site, reflecting both background and site-specific
contamination, and (2) background alone,  as if the site did not exist.  The
first scenario allows an estimate of overall health risk at exposure points
affected by the site, without attribution of the source of the risk.  The
second scenario  indicates  the probable risk due to sources other than the
site, and comparison of the two scenarios gives information on the relative
importance of the site to  overall risk.   For example, if background arsenic
was 5 ppm in drinking water and projected exposure from all sources was 15
ppm, both values could be  carried through the entire process, completing
parallel worksheets for background and overall risk scenarios.

    The methods  for estimating environmental concentrations described in this
chapter and the Superfund  Exposure Assessment Manual should be applied to the
selected indicator chemicals.  Exhibit 4-1 diagrams the activities involved in
estimating exposure point  concentrations.  The first task  is  a detailed
exposure pathway analysis, which is  described in Section 4.1.  The second
task, estimation of short-term and long-term concentrations for each indicator
chemical at each human exposure point, is discussed in Section 4.2.  These
concentrations will generally be derived  from a combination of site monitoring
and modeling information.  Short-term concentrations (STC) are averaged over a
relatively short time period (10 to  90 days) and are used  to  evaluate
potential effects of subchronic exposure; long-term concentrations (LTC) are
averaged over longer time  periods, up to  a human lifetime  (70 years), and are
used in the assessment of  effects of chronic exposure.

    For assessment of potential carcinogenic risk, the LTC should usually be
averaged over a lifetime.  However,  for assessment of other chronic health
risks, the LTC should not  necessarily be  averaged over a 70-year period and
for some chemicals it would clearly  be incorrect to do so.  The recommended
approach is to average LTCs over the time period of highest exposure for
assessment of noncarcinogenic effects and not to substantially reduce an LTC
value by averaging over a  full lifetime.  However, if significant
noncarcinogenic risk is projected using this approach, it may be necessary to
refer to the specific toxicologic studies on which the toxicity values (i.e.,
reference dose) are based  to determine the most appropriate averaging period.

     For  example,  volatilization  from  a  site may  be  rapid  for a  few months and
 then decrease  substantially.  The peak  STC would be obtained by averaging
 concentrations  over  the  10- to 90-day period  of  greatest  volatilization.  The
 LTC  for  assessing cancer risk would be  averaged  over the  entire 70-year
 period,  beginning with the date  of the  site assessment.   The LTC will always
 be  less  than or equal to the peak STC.

     The  concentrations derived in Step  2  of the  public health evaluation
.process  will be the  inputs to Step 3  -- estimation  of chemical  intakes.  The
 exposure point  concentrations will also be compared to applicable or relevant
 and  appropriate ambient  concentration requirements,  a task described in
 Section  4.3.

 collected for  estimating exposure point concentrations.   Filling in these
 worksheets will not  be sufficient to  complete the quantitative  analyses
 required.  Rather, they  serve to direct and focus the analysis  so that the
 results  can be  used  directly in  later steps of the  public health evaluation.
 All  procedures,  assumptions, and calculations used  to develop concentration
 estimates  must  be clearly documented  in a format  that will facilitate review.


 4.1   IDENTIFY EXPOSURE PATHWAYS

     This  section describes an approach  for identifying potential human
 exposure  pathways at a Superfund site.  An exposure  pathway consists of four
 necessary elements:  (1)  a source and mechanism  of  chemical release to the
 environment, (2)  an  environmental transport medium  (e.g., air,  ground water)
 for  the  released  chemical, (3) a point of potential  human contact with the
 contaminated medium  (referred to as the exposure point),  and (4) a human
 exposure  route  (e.g., drinking water  ingestion)  at  the contact  point.  Exhibit
 4-2  illustrates  the  elements of  an exposure pathway.  Each pathway therefore
 describes  a unique mechanism by  which a population  or an  individual is exposed
 to contaminants  originating from a site.  The overall risks posed by a site
 are  a composite  of the set of individual  pathway  risks.   Risks  for individual
 pathways,  however, may not be additive because they  may represent risks to
 different  populations.

     The Superfund risk assessment process is  based  on concern for both
 individual risk  and  risk  to exposed populations.  One exposure  point that
 should be  evaluated  for  a pathway is  the  geographic  point of highest individual
 exposure  for a  given release source/transport medium combination (i.e., the
 geographic location where human  inhabitants are  exposed to the  highest
 predicted  chemical concentrations).   Exposure points  with lower predicted
 chemical  concentrations and large potentially exposed populations should also
 be evaluated.  For example, a potentially vulnerable public water supply
 serving a  large population should be  included in the  evaluation even if higher
 exposures  are projected at a few private  wells closer to  the site.

     To identify possible  exposure pathways, human activity patterns near the
 site should be defined and combined with  chemical release source and transport
 media information.  This  task is accomplished using  a qualitative,  yet
 systematic procedure that relies on professional judgment and experience.
 Because chemical  release  and transport are more rigorously analyzed in the

next phase of the exposure assessment  (Section 4.2), the initial list of
exposure pathways can be modified  as the analysis proceeds.  If there are
questions or uncertainties about a possible exposure pathway, it should not be
eliminated from the analysis until the next phase is completed.

    The analysis described here is a first-cut organization of the relevant
site information so that major exposure pathways can be defined.  It is not
intended as a time-consuming task  in the overall public health evaluation
process.  Iterations of this procedure following the results of additional
site sampling and/or modeling will confirm the important exposure pathways.  A
four-step framework for the exposure pathway analysis is described below.

    4.1.1  Determine  Possible Chemical Release Sources  and Release Media

    To determine possible release  sources for a site in the absence of
remedial action, use all available site descriptions and data from preliminary
assessment, site inspection, and remedial investigation.  Also obtain and use
any appropriate information being  developed as part of the feasibility study.
Monitoring data showing off-site contamination in excess of background levels
are especially valuable because they demonstrate chemical release and
transport from the site.  Exhibit  4-3 lists some typical release sources at
Superfund remedial sites, organized by release medium.  In many cases the
release, transport, and exposure media will be the same (i.e., release to air
will result in transport and exposure via air).  However, intermedia transfers
can occur and may be critical at some sites (e.g., fish ingestion exposures,
which result from releases to surface water).

    Use Worksheet 4-1 to summarize the results of the initial release source
analysis.  Supplement Worksheet 4-1 with a site map that indicates locations
of the release-sources.  At this" point, combinations of release
source/transport medium for a site (i.e., the first two components of exposure
pathways) have been identified and the exposure points for each must now be
determined.

    4.1.2  Identify  and Characterize Possible  Human Exposure  Points

    First, identify for each combination of release source and transport medium
(Worksheet 4-1) the location of highest individual exposure to the general
public (defined here as the "significant" exposure point).   Next,  determine
the number of people potentially affected at each of the significant exposure
points and record the basis for the estimate.  Both short-term and long-term
exposures must be considered.  In  addition, include any locations with the
potential for exposure of large numbers of people (e.g., public drinking water
supplies, shopping centers, industrial parks) or sensitive populations that
may be at special risk (e.g., schools, hospitals).  Some of these locations
should be included as supplementary exposure points in the exposure and risk
analysis to follow.   In addition to identifying locations of exposure points,
determine the probable routes of exposure at each.  Guidance for identifying
significant exposure points is given below for each transport medium.

    Consider including the site itself as an exposure point, based on a reason-
able future use scenario.   Clearly, this consideration would be inappropriate
at sites where future development  is improbable,  but some sites may have

contact, include these on-site exposure pathways in the analysis.

    Air Exposure.  For air exposures, the individuals exposed to highest
concentrations will generally be the people located downwind of and nearest to
the source.  This may not always be true; for example, the point of highest
ambient ground-level concentration may be some distance from the source if the
source is elevated.  In these cases, the appropriate exposure point must be
determined later, in conjunction with sampling or air modeling efforts (as
described in Section 4.2).  At the majority of Superfund sites, however, it
can probably be assumed that the nearest population is the pertinent exposure
point.  Once the release sources into air are determined in the first task, it
is relatively straightforward to locate the closest population.  These
populations can be located in residential, industrial, or commercial areas or
at other points of human activity.  Potential sources of this information
include:

        •   site vicinity surveys;
        •   topographic maps;
        •   aerial photos of the site;
        •   county or city land-use maps; and
        •   census data.

On a map, indicate precisely for each air release source the direction and
distance to the significant exposure point.

    The point of highest short-term individual exposure by air may well be
different from the poiat of highest long-term exposure.  The highest short-
term exposure point will generally be the closest population in any direction
from the site, whereas the highest long-term exposure point will,  in most
cases, be downwind.  Therefore, select the exposure point for determining
long-term concentration within the downwind 90° arc from the emission source
(45° on each side of the average downwind centerline as determined from
historical wind data for locations near the site), unless it can be
demonstrated that long-term concentrations will be higher elsewhere.
Historical wind data are usually available for airports and some other
locations through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

    Surface Water Exposure.  The significant exposure points for surface
water pathways depend on downstream uses of the water.  Both withdrawal points
and areas of in-stream use must be considered.  Withdrawal uses to be
considered include domestic water supply (drinking, cooking, bathing),
agricultural use (livestock watering, irrigation), and industrial use.
Relevant in-stream uses include swimming and other water contact sports and
private and commercial fishing (resulting in ingestion of contaminated fish).
Sources for identifying withdrawal points and uses include:

        •   site vicinity surveys;
        •   state water agency records;
        •   local water utility records;
        •   withdrawal permits; and
        •   EPA Office of Drinking Water data bases (Federal Reporting Data
            System, or FRDS).

Locate on a map  the  exact points of withdrawal in relation to the source from
topographic maps.  Indicate points of in-stream use from site vicinity surveys
and possibly from  local or state planning and recreation agencies.

    At some sites, an  important potential route of exposure via surface water
is through the ingestion of contaminated fish or shellfish.  Fish living in
contaminated water concentrate contaminants from the water in their tissue.
Due to the solubility  of some contaminants in fats, many chemicals are
bioconcentrated  and  appear in the tissue at concentrations higher than in the
surrounding water.   Consumption of fish from surface water near sites should
be considered as a possible exposure route.

    Ground-Water Exposure.  Determining points of highest exposure to
ground-water contaminants will often be difficult unless subsurface flow
modeling is done.  In  general, nearby wells will have higher concentrations
than distant wells,  and wells in the direction of ground-water flow (often
approximated by  surface slope) will be higher.  If comprehensive ground-water
modeling is planned, do not determine the significant exposure point until it
is completed.  Determine instead the locations, depths, pumping rates, and
uses of all wells  in the immediate site vicinity and in the likely direction
of flow.  Specify  the  ground-water formations from which various wells are
pumping, and determine the general extent of hydraulic connection among the
multiple formations.   Identify well information through state or local agency
well logs or site  vicinity surveys.  This information can then be used in
conjunction with monitoring and/or modeling results developed to determine the
significant exposure points.

    If subsurface modeling is not planned, determine the likely flow direction
from geohydrologic data and assume that the closest domestic well in that
direction is the highest individual exposure point.  Locations and depths of
public water supply wells should also be determined.  In addition to domestic
wells, locations of  agricultural and industrial wells and any other relevant
ground-water uses must be determined.

    Hydraulic connections between ground water and the surface water exposure
points identified above should also be determined.

    Soil Exposure.  Areas of highest direct exposure to contaminated surface
soil will generally be on or directly adjacent to the waste site.  If access
to the site is not restricted or otherwise limited (e.g., by distance), the
site itself usually can be assumed to be the point of highest individual
exposure to surface soil.  If site access is limited, the significant exposure
point for soil often will be the nearest residence or other human use area
(e.g., playground).  If there is no evidence of surface soil contamination in
the site vicinity, there may be no important direct exposure pathways
resulting from soil contamination.  A possible indirect route of exposure from
soil contamination to  be considered is chemical uptake by plants, with
subsequent ingestion by humans.

    Typical exposure points for the four environmental exposure media are
summarized in Exhibit  4-4.  This exhibit can be used as guidance for
determining exposure points, but this determination is a site-by-site analysis
and the possibility of other exposure points must be considered for each site.

    4.1.3   Integrate Release Sources,  Environmental  Transport Media,
            Exposure Points, and Exposure Routes into Exposure  Pathways

    Assemble the information developed in the previous two steps  and determine
the complete exposure pathways that exist for the site.  Use Worksheet 4-2 to
record the  exposure pathway information.  A complete exposure pathway is one
that has all the necessary components:  a source and mechanism of chemical
release, an environmental transport medium, a potential human exposure point,
and a likely route of exposure.  For example, if a release to ground water is
projected but there is no ground-water use (or projected use) from the
affected aquifer, then the exposure pathway is incomplete.  The exposure
points for  the complete exposure pathways define the spatial locations at
which chemical concentrations must be projected.  The health risk estimates
developed later in this process are based on exposures at these locations.
The total number of people that may be exposed does not enter into the public
health evaluation quantitatively; however, it may be important on a
qualitative basis.

    In some cases, exposures via identified pathways may be non-quantifiable.
There are a number of possible reasons for this, including the absence of data
on which to base estimates of chemical releases, environmental concentrations,
or human intakes.  If an exposure pathway is determined to be non-quantifiable
during the  exposure assessment procedure to follow, continue to include it  as
a potential pathway on all subsequent worksheets, designating it  as
non-quantified.  This information can be taken into account in assessments  of
the uncertainty of the results.

    4.1.4   Determine  Presence of Sensitive Human Populations

    Review  the information on the site area and determine if any  population
groups with high sensitivity to chemical exposure are present.   Sensitive
subpopulations that may be at higher risk include infants and children,
elderly people, pregnant women, and people with chronic illnesses.   Sites may
be located  in areas without readily identifiable sensitive subpopulations,  but
if such subpopulations are present, the number of people involved and their
location should be determined.

    To identify sensitive subpopulations in the site area, determine locations
of schools, day care centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and retirement
communities that are within three miles of the site or that use drinking water
potentially affected by the site.  Use local census data and information from
local public health officials for this determination.  Record this  information
on Worksheet 6-2 (see Chapter 6).


4.2  ESTIMATE EXPOSURE  POINT  CONCENTRATIONS

    To the extent available, measured chemical concentration data should be
reviewed for each chemical, exposure medium, and exposure point.   Such
monitoring data can be used to estimate peak short-term concentrations at
exposure points.   However, in addition to short-term indications  of
concentration,  long-term concentrations (averaged over periods  up to a human
lifetime, 70 years) need to be estimated.   Long-term concentrations are more
difficult to estimate and usually require environmental fate modeling (see
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

Sections 4.2.1  and  4.2.2).  The  short-term  and  long-term  concentration
estimates will  be used  in  the  next phase of the public health evaluation --
calculating human intake.   By  understanding the potential  long-term exposures
from a  site, one will better understand the consequences  of not taking any
action.  Short-term concentrations will be  important  in the evaluation of
chemicals to which  even short-term exposure is a concern  and which can be
contained by certain management  practices.   Note that the  only chemicals being
evaluated here  are  those that  have been selected as indicator chemicals.

    Relevant monitoring results  from points of human  exposure should be
recorded on Worksheet 4-4  (near  the end of  Chapter 4) to  provide short-term
concentration values.   Because several samples are generally taken, some
measure of the  variability of  the estimate  (confidence interval, range) should
be recorded.  Long-term concentrations on which to base lifetime exposures may
be estimated on the basis  of both monitoring data and the  chemical release and
fate models described in the Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual.

    After potential exposure pathways are determined, environmental
concentrations  for  each indicator chemical  must be estimated at each of the
significant and supplementary  exposure point locations identified in Worksheet
4-2.  Concentrations of substances need to  be estimated as a function of time
(i.e.,  short-term and long-term) in each environmental medium -- air, surface
water,  ground water, or soil --  through which potential exposures could
occur.  For example, if in completing Worksheet 4-2,  it is determined that
potential exposure  routes  for  a  nearby residential area are inhalation of
contaminated air and ingestion of contaminated ground water, chemical
concentrations  over time must  be predicted  for both air and ground water at
this location.

    Estimating  environmental concentrations at an exposure point is
essentially a two-step  process.  First, quantify the  amounts of chemicals that
will be released to the environment by the  various sources identified in the
exposure pathway analysis.  Given these release quantities, then predict the
environmental transport and fate of each indicator substance in the identified
medium  of the exposure  pathway.  An example would be  the movement of a
contaminant released to ground water from contaminated soil and then
transported to  a drinking  water  well.

    Numerous analytical techniques are available to perform the calculations
required in these two steps.   These techniques are described in detail in the
Superfund Exposure  Assessment  Manual.  The  techniques vary in sophistication
from simple, desk-top methods  that provide  rapid, order-of-magnitude
projections, to more rigorous  approaches involving computer modeling that may
give more accurate  results, but  require more time and resources to undertake.
All techniques  require  certain chemical- and site-specific data, although the
data requirements vary  with the  degree of sophistication of the method used.
Regardless of the technique used, it is likely that numerous assumptions will
be required because of  gaps in available data.  The appropriate level of
sophistication will be  influenced by data availability, and by the demands and
bounds of the remedial  investigation/feasibility study effort at a specific
site.  Relatively simple chemical release and transport models are usually
appropriate for Superfund public health evaluation exposure assessments.

                                   -50-
    There are two recommended approaches for addressing the unavoidable
estimation uncertainties likely to be encountered in the exposure assessment.
One is to use a conservative (not necessarily "worst-case") approach in making
the assumptions necessary for a particular estimation method.  The consequence
of making conservative assumptions is that risks may be substantially
overstated but will not be understated in the final analysis.  All assumptions
and the basis for each should be recorded.

    A second, and generally preferred, approach is to calculate and  present
both best estimates and conservative upper bound  estimates for all exposure
point chemical  concentrations.   If this approach is  followed  and both sets
of concentration estimates are carried through the entire public health
evaluation (ultimately resulting in two sets of risk estimates), the results
will provide not only an estimate of the risk magnitude but also a good
indication of the overall uncertainty of the analysis.  Of course, this
approach requires more calculation effort, but it is a straightforward way to
account for analytical and data uncertainties.  This approach, which yields an
upper bound and best estimate of each risk projection, emphasizes the
uncertainty involved by displaying it quantitatively.  A large disparity
between the upper bound and best estimates of risk would indicate relatively
high uncertainty, and vice-versa.  This approach requires that two sets of
most subsequent worksheets be completed,  one for the best estimate and one for
the upper bound.

    A third possible approach, generally beyond the scope of the Superfund
public health evaluation process, is to model the important variables
determining chemical concentration and risk stochastically.  This allows
estimation of a risk distribution, from which median and 90th percentile (or
other upper bound} values can be determined.  This approach is more complex
and time-consuming than a deterministic approach,  and it still only accounts
for uncertainty due to .the variables modeled stochastically.   It does not
address other sources of uncertainty, such as applicability of the release or
transport models to the real site situation.

    The following subsections explain how chemical release and transport
models should be used and the types of outputs that are needed to continue the
risk assessments process.  Detailed guidance on chemical release, transport,
and fate assessment at Superfund sites is contained in the Superfund Exposure
Assessment Manual, which accompanies this manual.   In addition, a set of
background documents for EPA's proposed guidelines for exposure assessment
(EPA, 1984b) is being prepared and will be a convenient source of this
information when released.

    4.2.1  Quantify Chemical  Releases

    Chemical releases are quantified in terms of release rates.  These rates
are then used along with other factors to predict environmental fate and
transport.  Various methods are available for estimating release rates.  They
are fairly straightforward and can be verified with the use of site sampling
data.  Evidence of"chemical release into an environmental medium such as ground
water, air or surface water must have been observed to warrant a quantitative
analysis.  When release rates calculated from a model result in concentrations
that do not make sense in light of the site sampling data, reexamine the
selection of the model or the reliability of the sampling results.

    To quantify releases, consider separately each release medium and the
associated sources and mechanisms of  release that have been identified in the
exposure pathway analysis (Section 4.1)  for a specific chemical.  Calculate
the mass loading of the chemical contaminant from each release source to the
environmental medium.  In some cases,  it will be sufficient to calculate a
constant, or steady-state loading rate,  based on the assumption that
insignificant reductions in contaminants occur at the source during the
evaluation time period.  In other instances, reductions in release rates over
time may need to be accounted.  Ultimately, professional judgment must be used
to decide which course to take for each  specific release source.

    Brief descriptions of methods available to calculate releases are
presented below for each of the four  primary environmental media of interest
-- air, surface water, ground water,  and soil.  References are also made to
more detailed descriptions of the methods contained in other documents.  A
substantial amount of data is required to complete the analyses described.
Recognizing that all of the necessary data will rarely be available, the
analyses can be conducted with proper application of professional judgment in
making assumptions.  Again, all assumptions and their basises should be
recorded.

    Air Release Modeling.  Releases of hazardous constituents to air from a
remedial action site generally occur  as a result of volatilization or fugitive
dust generation.  The calculation of  the site volatilization rate depends on
the situation in which the waste constituent exists in the environment.  The
rate differs according to whether the wastes are covered with soil, are
concentrated on the surface, or are dissolved in water.  Volatilization rate
is determined primarily by the chemical properties of a given substance, the
concentration of that substance, and  environmental conditions such as wind
speed and temperature.

    There are a number of mathematical models available that describe
volatilization rates for various types of physical situations.  For a review
and discussion of mathematical models describing volatile releases from
hazardous waste sites and the selection of appropriate k-values, refer to the
Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual.

    Contaminated fugitive dusts from  a waste site can result from many
activities, including:

        •   wind erosion of wastes and soils
        •   vehicular traffic movement over contaminated roads
        •   heavy equipment activity  at the site.

One or any combination of these activities can create emissions of toxic
materials associated with the fugitive dust.  In addition to the Superfund
Exposure Assessment Manual, a manual  recently prepared for EPA's Exposure
Assessment Group, "Rapid Assessment of Exposure to Particulate Emissions from
Surface Contamination Sites" (Cowherd et al., 1984) is a valuable reference
for fugitive dust calculations.

    Surface Water Release Modeling.   Releases of hazardous constituents to
surface water can occur due to the point discharge of treated runoff,
leachate, or ground water (this mechanism is not usually relevant to

assessment of the no-action alternative); contaminated surface runoff;
recharge by contaminated ground water; or episodic overland flow from leaks,
spills, or lagoon or pond overtopping.  Refer to the Superfund Exposure
Assessment Manual for additional guidance.

    Ground-Water Release Modeling.  Calculating releases to ground water
involves the estimation of leachate migration from the site.  For an
uncontrolled site, one approach is to use site sampling data to determine the
extent of soil contamination directly beneath the source of chemical release
at the site, and convert these to release rates of constituents.  For detailed
guidance, refer to the Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual.

    Soil Releases.  Surface soils may become contaminated with toxic
materials as a result of intentional placement of the wastes on the ground, or
from spills, lagoons or pond failures, contaminated site runoff, or downwind
deposition of contaminated airborne particulates.   The substances of concern
are generally those that adsorb to or are otherwise associated with the soil
particles.  Determine the extent of contamination of soils using the results
of the sampling and analysis conducted during the remedial investigation
phase.  Monitoring is really the only practical method to provide direct
quantification of soil contamination.  The Superfund Exposure Assessment
Manual gives more detailed guidance on estimating soil releases.

    Worksheet 4-3 is provided as a convenient mechanism for compiling the
results of the quantification of contaminant releases calculated for each
exposure point.  List the results of release calculations in the appropriate
columns of the worksheet and attach all documentation for the release
calculations.

    4.2.2  Predict .Environmental Fate and Transport

    In the second step of the process for estimating environmental
concentrations, use the estimates of mass loadings of chemicals released to
predict the environmental fate and transport of chemicals from the release
source to identified exposure points.  For each chemical and each exposure
pathway, the outcome of this exercise will be short-term and long-term
environmental concentrations at the significant exposure point.  To arrive at
these concentrations, the entire concentration profile of a substance over
time at the exposure point may have to be modeled; appropriate short-term and
long-term values can then be determined from the profile.

    To account for the behavior of all released chemicals, it is necessary to
consider systematically the extent of chemical fate and transport in each
environmental medium.  In this way, the remedial project manager can consider
the predominant mechanisms of chemical transport, transfer, and
transformation, and disregard less significant processes.  In the following
sections, brief descriptions of the mechanisms for each of the major
environmental release media are presented.  More detailed descriptions of
available techniques and computer models  and their limitations are given in
the Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual.

    Air Transport Modeling.  The predominant mechanisms that affect the
atmospheric fate and transport of substances released to the air are
advection, dispersion and, in some cases, natural decay.  Ambient

concentrations of a chemical at a specified downwind distance from the site
can be determined as a direct function of chemical release rate when these key
processes are considered.  Refer to the Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual
for guidance on appropriate modeling techniques.

    At some sites, relatively precise estimates of chemical fate and transport
in air may be required.  Sophisticated computer models are available for
predicting the behavior of chemicals released to the atmosphere.  The models
have varying capabilities, data requirements, computer resource requirements
and sophistication of output.  The Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual lists
some computer models that are applicable to the analysis of remedial action
sites.  Exercise care in selecting the model most appropriate to the specific
site and the hazardous substance characteristics.  The reasons for selecting a
particular model should be documented.  Generally, for risk assessments in the
feasibility study, the simplest model that reasonably represents the system
should be used.

    Surface Water Transport Modeling.  The environmental fate of hazardous
materials entering surface water bodies is highly dependent on the type of
water body and the specific chemicals involved.  Relatively simple,
straightforward approaches are available for estimating environmental
concentrations in rivers and streams.  However, more complex methods are
necessary for predicting concentrations resulting from releases to lakes,
reservoirs, and estuaries.  Applicable methods are described or referenced in
the Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual.  In addition, EPA's Water Quality
Assessment documents (Mills ejt al. , 1982) may be helpful in selecting water
models.

    Sophisticated computer models are also available for the analysis of
environmental fate of hazardous substances in surface water bodies.  As with
the sophisticated air models, these vary in complexity, input data
requirements, computer resource requirements, and model capabilities.  Again,
simple models are generally preferable.  If a computer modeling approach is
desired for a site, select the modeling procedure most appropriate to the
circumstances under study.  Again,  document the rationale for selecting a
particular model.

    Ground-Water Transport Modeling.  In describing the behavior of contami-
nants released to ground water from a hazardous waste site, two major sub-
surface zones must be considered:  the unsaturated soil zone above the ground
water (vadose zone), and the saturated-zone, commonly called the aquifer.   In
general, after a substance is released, it first moves vertically down through
the unsaturated soil zone to the ground water.  Then, after initial mixing in
the ground water, the substance travels horizontally because of the advective
flow of the ground water underlying the site.  The primary processes that
affect the fate and transport of contaminants in these two zones are advection
(including infiltration and leaching from the surface), dispersion, sorption
(including reversible adsorption, ion exchange, complexation, and
precipitation), and degradation.  As a released substance flows away from the
source area, these processes act to reduce its concentration.

    Time plays a key role in the movement of contaminants in the subsurface
environment.  Unlike the air and surface water media where releases of
chemicals generally result in downwind or downstream ambient concentrations

                                             -55-
within  relatively short  times  after release (i.e., minutes, hours, or days),
ground  water  moves slowly and  takes much longer  (years) to transport
contaminants.   Consequently, the estimation of ground-water concentrations  at
a given exposure  point must be bounded by & specified time frame for which  the
public  health evaluation will  be conducted.

    For purposes  of evaluating individual risks  for  the no-action alternative
at Superfund  sites,  ground-water concentrations  should be estimated for at
least 70 years.   This period is selected because it  approximates an average
human life  span,  and it  is the basis for establishment of the acceptable
chronic chemical  intakes contained  in the health effects assessments (HEAs).
Use the highest concentration  value predicted at an  exposure point during the
70-year period to represent the short-term concentration.  For long-term
concentrations, use a 70-year  time-weighted average.

    Numerous  mathematical models are available that  describe pollutant fate
and transport  in  the subsurface environment.  These  models are described or
referenced  in  the Superfund Exposure Assessment  Manual.  These models attempt
to define waste migration over time and distance using the physical and
chemical processes involved.   The physical and chemical characteristics
considered  by these models include:

         •   Boundary conditions (hydraulic head  distributions,
            recharge and discharge  points,  locations and types of
        :   boundaries);

         •   Material constants (hydraulic conductivity, porosity,
            transmissivity, extent  of hydrogeologic  units);

         •   Attenuation  mechanisms  (adsorption-desorption, ion
            exchange, complexing, nuclear decay,  ion filtration,  gas
            generation,  precipitation-dissolution, biodegradation,
            chemical degradation);

         •   Molecular diffusion and hydrodynamic  dispersion
            (transverse,  longitudinal,  and vertical); and

         •   Waste constituent  concentrations (initial and
            background concentrations,  boundary  conditions).

These characteristics are incorporated  into models by combining two sets of
transport expressions:   a ground-water  flow equation and a chemical mass
transport equation.  The result is  a prediction  of solute transport in the
ground-water system, with chemical  reactions considered.

    Separate models  exist for  predicting  transport through both the
unsaturated and saturated zones.  Models  are often linked into a comprehensive
package  to effectively simulate movement  through  both unsaturated and
saturated soil zones.  In addition,  some  ground-water models  have the
capability of predicting hazardous  substance fate throughout  both zones.  Most
of these models are  designed to be  used with a computer.   The Superfund
Exposure Assessment  Manual lists  some computer models applicable for site
analysis.

    Models for ground-water transport generally have not been fully verified,
and their reliability is difficult to assess.  Site-specific conditions and
the analyst's ability to account for site-specific characteristics with
quantitative input data influence the reliability of model results.  Carefully
applied professional judgment is therefore necessary both in using the models
and in interpreting the results.  Ground-water monitoring data collected in
the vicinity of the site should be used whenever possible to test the
reasonableness of model results.  Models can sometimes be calibrated with the
measurements taken during the RI.  When no monitoring data are available,
important sources of uncertainty should be noted and their impact on model
results should be anticipated and recorded.

    Worksheet 4-4 is provided as a format for recording the estimated chemical
concentrations for each exposure point.


4.3  COMPARE TO REQUIREMENTS,  STANDARDS,  AND CRITERIA

    At this point in the process, the projected baseline concentrations of
indicator chemicals at exposure points should be compared to "applicable or
relevant and appropriate requirements" (as defined by the NCP and originally
identified in the CERCLA compliance with other environmental statutes policy
memorandum that is an appendix to the NCP; additional requirements are identi-
fied in the CERCLA reauthorization statute).  "Other criteria, advisories,  and
guidance" may also be compared to exposure point concentrations,  if pertinent
to site exposure conditions.  The following subsections describe  the procedure
for comparing both to requirements and to other criteria.  The user should be
aware that EPA continues to update toxicological information and, based on
these updated data, may issue revised standards and criteria.

    This entire section of the manual focuses on numerical criteria that are
in the form of ambient environmental concentration levels.  In the case of
applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements or other criteria expressed
in intake or dose units (e.g., in mg/kg-day), the comparison should be deferred
until the intake estimation step of this process is complete (see Chapter 5).

    4.3.1  Compare to Applicable  or  Relevant and Appropriate Requirements

    If all indicator chemicals at a site have applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements (ARARs), then the remainder of the baseline process
described in Chapters 5 through 7 is not necessary.  In these cases, the
comparison of predicted exposure point concentrations of indicator chemicals
to ARARs will suffice as a baseline public health evaluation.  At sites where
some indicator chemicals do not have ARARs, make the comparison to
requirements for those chemicals that have them and then proceed  with the
complete risk characterization process for all indicator chemicals.
Therefore, in cases where ARARs are not available for all indicator chemicals,
the baseline public health evaluation will include both a comparison to ARARs
and a risk assessment as described in Chapters 5 through 7.

    At the present time, EPA considers drinking water maximum contaminant
levels (MCLs) and maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs), federal ambient
water quality criteria, national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), and
state environmental standards to be potentially applicable or relevant and

appropriate requirements for ambient. concentrations .   Exhibits 4-5 and 4-6
list federal ARARs for ambient environmental concentrations of contaminants.
RCRA design and operating requirements are also applicable or relevant and
appropriate for design of remedial alternatives but,  because they are not
pertinent to the baseline public health analysis, they are not discussed
further here (see Chapter 8).

    The determination of exactly which requirements are applicable or relevant
and appropriate to a particular Superfund site should be made on a
site-specific basis.  Potential ARARs will not necessarily be appropriate for
every site.  For potential ground-water and surface water exposure via
drinking water, the most appropriate comparison values are Safe Drinking Water
Act MCLs and MCLGs; for air exposure, national ambient air quality standards
may be appropriate comparison values; for surface water contamination with
possible exposure via ingestion of aquatic organisms, federal ambient water
quality criteria may be appropriate.  ARARs should correspond to the medium
(e.g., air, water) for which they were developed and must be applicable or
relevant and appropriate to site conditions.  If requirements are available
for all indicator chemicals, but are not appropriate to site exposure
conditions, a full risk characterization should be completed.

    -Use Worksheet 4-5 to compare ARARs to environmental concentrations
projected for exposure points.  Calculate ratios between predicted
concentrations and requirements, and designate whether concentrations exceed
or fall below the requirements.  Also, when risk levels associated with these
requirements are known, they should be recorded.  This information will be
carried through to the end of the process and included in summary tables for
the baseline public health evaluation.  Factors in the development of the
requirements listed in Exhibits 4-5 and 4-6 are discussed briefly in the
following sections.

    4.3.1.1  Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and Maximum Contaminant Level
             Goals (MCLGs)

    Drinking water standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act are promulgated
as maximum contaminant levels (MCLs).  MCLs are currently available for 16
specific chemicals (10 inorganics and 6 organic pesticides), total
trihalomethanes (covers four chemicals), certain radionuclides, and
microorganisms (40 CFR 141).  Under the Safe Drinking Water Act amendments of
1986 (P.L. 99-339), EPA is required to promulgate MCLs for 83 contaminants
within three years.  Generally, an MCL for a toxic chemical represents the
allowable lifetime exposure to the contaminant for a 70 kg adult who is
assumed to ingest two liters of water per day.  Total environmental exposure
of a particular contaminant from various sources was considered in calculating
specific MCLs.  EFA estimated the amount of the substance to which the average
person is likely to be exposed from all sources (e.g., air, food, water) and
then determined the fraction of the total intake resulting from drinking water
ingestion.  Lifetime exposure limits were set at the lowest practical level to
minimize the amount of contamination ingested from water, especially when
exposure from other sources is large.  The MCL calculation is adjusted by an
exposure factor to reflect gastrointestinal absorption associated with water
consumption.

    In addition to health factors, an MCL is required by law to reflect the
technological and economic feasibility of removing the contaminant from the
water supply.  The limit set must be feasible given the best available

technology and treatment techniques.  A safety factor is included in each of
the standards to provide adequate protection for sensitive populations that
may be at special risk such as infants and children.  Safety factors vary from
chemical to chemical because of the different risks associated with each.

    As part of the process for developing final drinking water standards
(i.e., MCLs), EPA develops maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs).18J
MCLGs are entirely health-based; thus, they are always less than or equal to
MCLs.  EPA recently promulgated MCLGs for eight volatile organic chemicals (40
CFR 141.50; 50 Federal Register 468SO-46901, November 13, 1985).  Exhibit
4-5 lists the MCLs and MCLGs promulgated as of publication of this manual.

    4.3.1.2  National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

    NAAQS are available for six chemicals or chemical groups and for airborne
particulates; of these, the NAAQS for lead, hydrocarbons, and airborne
particulates appear to be most useful for Superfund public health
evaluations.  In the development of primary NAAQS19J, sources of the
contaminant that contribute to air pollution and all sources of exposure to
the contaminant (e.g, food, water, air) are considered in determining the
health risk.  In addition, the statute states that primary NAAQS must be based
exclusively on air quality criteria issued by EPA for each air pollutant.  The
Act does not require EPA to consider the costs (economics) of achieving the
standards or the technological feasibility of implementing the standards.
Standards can be promulgated as annual maximums, annual geometric means,
annual arithmetic means, or for other time periods that vary from one hour to
one year depending on the pollutant.

    Primary standards must allow for an adequate margin of safety to account
for unidentified hazards and effects.  There is no rule used in setting the
margin of safety for the standards.  The law requires EPA to direct its efforts
at groups of particularly sensitive citizens, such as bronchial asthmatics and
emphysematics.  In developing primary NAAQS, EPA must specify the nature and
severity of the health effects of each contaminant, characterize the sensitive
population involved, determine probable adverse health effect levels in sensi-
tive persons, and estimate the level below which an adequate margin of safety
reduces or eliminates risks.  Primary NAAQS are based for the most part on the
direct health effects of chemicals to sensitive groups.

    4.3.1.3  Federal Ambient Water Quality Criteria

    Federal ambient water quality criteria for the protection of human health
have been developed for 62 out of 65 classes of toxic pollutants (a total of
95 individual chemicals have numerical health criteria).  The health-based
water quality criterion is an estimate of the ambient surface water
concentration that will not result in adverse health effects in humans.  In
the case of suspect or proven carcinogens, concentrations associated with a
    l*J MCLGs were formerly known as recommended maximum contaminant levels
(RMCLs).

    19J EPA also develops secondary NAAQS under the Clean Air Act to protect
the public welfare from known or anticipated effects.

 range of  incremental  cancer  risks  are provided  to  supplement  a  criterion of
 zero.  The  federal  criteria  are non-enforceable guidelines, which many states
 have used in the development of enforceable  ambient water  quality standards
 (see Section 4.3.1.4).   Exhibit 4-6  lists  federal  ambient  water quality
 criteria  for specific chemicals.

    For most chemicals,  federal water quality criteria  to  protect human health
 are available  for two different exposure pathways.  One criterion is based on
 lifetime  ingestion  of both drinking  water  and aquatic organisms, and the other
 is based  on lifetime  ingestion of  aquatic  organisms alone.  The calculations
 incorporate the assumption that a  70-kilogram adult consumes  2  liters of water
 and/or 6.5  grams of aquatic  organisms daily  for a  70-year  lifetime.  Of
 course, calculations  can be  made to  derive an adjusted  criterion for drinking
 water ingestion only, based  on the two published criteria  and the same intake
 assumptions (as was done for Exhibit 4-6).   These  adjusted criteria are more
 appropriate than non-adjusted criteria for Superfund sites with contamination
 of potential ground-water sources  of drinking water because they are based on
 more realistic exposure  assumptions  (i.e., exclusion of aquatic organism
 ingestion as an exposure pathway).

    Derivation of Criteria for N'oncarcinogens.   On the  basis  of a survey of
 the toxicology literature, EPA established a "no observed  adverse effect
 level" (NOAEL) for  each  chemical.  The NOAELs were usually based on animal
 studies,  although human  data were  used whenever available.  By  applying a
 safety factor to account for the uncertainty in using available data to
 estimate  human effects,  an acceptable daily  intake (ADI) was  determined.
 Criteria  (i.e., water concentrations) were then derived from  the ADIs and the
 standard  intake assumptions  given  above.

    Derivation of Criteria for Carcinogens.  The same exposure  and intake
 assumptions were used for potential  carcinogens.  A literature  search for
 human and animal carcinogenic effects formed the basis  for EPA's estimate of
 the risk  posed by potential  human  carcinogens.   Because methods  are not
 currently available to establish the presence of a threshold  for carcinogenic
 effects,  the criteria for all carcinogens  state that the recommended
 concentration for maximum protection of human health is  zero.   EPA also
 estimated water concentrations corresponding to incremental risk levels, using
 a linear, non-threshold  extrapolation model.  Extrapolation models provide
 only an estimate of risk, but they represent the best available  tool for
 describing  the potential threat of a substance,  given certain assumptions.   In
 its published criteria,  EPA  provides water concentrations  corresponding to
 incremental lifetime  cancer  risks of 10-7, 10-*, and 10-5.

    4.3.1.4 State Environmental Standards

    State environmental  standards are ARARs  for Superfund  remedial actions in
 that state.   The availability of and numerical  values for  these standards vary
widely from state to  state.   The remedial  project manager  is  responsible for
determining the availability  of applicable or relevant  and appropriate state
standards for a site.

    Water quality standards  developed under  the Clean Water Act are a commonly
available type of state  standard.  These standards serve the dual purposes of.
establishing the water quality goals for a specific water  body  and as the
regulatory  basis for  establishing water quality-based controls  beyond the

technology-based levels of treatment required by Sections 301(b) and 306 of
the Clean Water Act.  Water quality standards are adopted by states (or, where
necessary, promulgated by EPA) to protect the public health or welfare,
enhance the quality of the water, and serve the purposes of the Act.  A water
quality standard consists of basically two parts:  (1) a "designated use" (or
uses), which considers the water body's use and value for public water
supplies, for propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife, and for
recreational, navigation, agricultural, industrial, and other purposes; and
(2) "criteria", which are numerical limits or narrative statements necessary
to protect the designated use.

    States must adopt appropriate water quality criteria sufficiently
stringent to protect the designated uses.   Numerical criteria may be based on
ambient water quality criteria recommendations published by EPA (see Section
4.3.1.3) or developed by other scientifically defensible methods.   States may
also modify EPA's recommended criteria to reflect local environmental
conditions and human exposure patterns before incorporation into water quality
standards.  When a criterion for the protection of human health must be
developed for a chemical for which a national criterion has not been
recommended, the state should consult EPA headquarters for assistance.
Guidelines for deriving human health-based water quality criteria were
published on November 28, 1980 (EPA, 1980).

4.3.2  Compare to Other Criteria,  Advisories,  and Guidance

    In the absence of ARARs for all indicator chemicals, the remainder of the
process as outlined in Chapters 5 through 7 should be completed.  In addition,
information on how exposure point concentrations compare to "other criteria,
advisories, and guidance" (i.e., not ARARs) is useful as a supplement to the
risk assessment and should be noted in the public health evaluation chapter in
the feasibility study report.  At sites where neither ARARs or appropriate
toxicity values are available for some indicator chemicals, the comparison of
ambient concentrations to other criteria may provide an important basis on
which to judge the potential health effects of environmental concentrations of
toxic substances.

    For the purposes of Superfund public health evaluations, EPA considers
drinking water health advisories and proposed drinking water standards to be
pertinent for comparison with predicted concentrations, provided they are for
the same exposure pathway.  Exhibit 4-7 lists proposed MCLs and MCLGs and
Exhibit 4-8 lists health advisories.  Other standards may be used for
comparison as well, provided they correspond to the environmental medium for
which they were designed and are appropriate to site conditions.  Criteria
inappropriate for public health evaluation of long-term chemical exposures,
such as LDcn values and unadjusted occupational threshold limit values

(TLVs), should not be used in this comparison.2°J
    20J LD-n values and TLVs usually reflect short-term exposures.  LD,0

("lethal dose-50") is the dose of a chemical that is fatal in 50 percent of
the exposed population.  TLVs are time-weighted average concentrations of
chemicals in air that should not be exceeded for a given time period (usually
15 minutes or 8 hours).

                                                                                       I

    Some ambient concentration requirements or criteria will be pertinent to     .
specific site conditions, while others can be adjusted to make them useful.
For example, if a requirement applies to a different environmental medium or           [
exposure route than the one threatened by a site, it would probably not be             4
appropriate to use it without adjustment.  As an illustration of this, ambient
water quality criteria, which were developed for surface water, can be                 I
adjusted for ground water by recalculating without the assumption of fish              \
ingestion (as in Exhibit 4-6).  Concentration requirements and criteria may
also be based on a different level, frequency, or duration of exposure than            ^
found at a specific site.  Guidance on adjustment of standards for                     |
site-specific applications is currently under development by EPA.                      *

    For some chemicals several "other criteria, advisories, and guidance" may          F
be available as comparison values.  In this case choose the most suitable              I
value for comparison.  Suitability is determined in part by the pertinence of           (
the criterion to exposure conditions at the site (e.g., exposed population             r
characteristics, duration and timing of exposure, exposure pathways)                   {
and in part by 'how recently the value was developed.  Some criteria have been
developed recently and may reflect new information compared to older values.
Some standards or criteria may have been scrutinized more closely than others          j
and may consequently have more scientific credibility.  Other standards may be         »(
current and scientifically accepted but not pertinent to exposure routes at
the site and therefore unsuitable.  Consequently, the most suitable comparison         f
value is the most current, credible, and pertinent value available.                    |

    Use Worksheet 4-6 to compare "other criteria, advisories, and guidance" to         v~
environmental concentrations projected for exposure points.  Calculate the             / ,
ratios between predicted concentrations and requirements and be sure to
designate whether concentrations exceed or fall below the requirements.  This
information will be carried through to the end of the process and included in          /.
summary tables for the baseline public health evaluation.  The criteria and            'it-
advisories in Exhibits 4-7 and 4-8 are discussed briefly in the following
sections.                                                                              1

    4.3.2.1  Proposed MCLs  and MCLGs

    EPA has proposed MCLs for the same eight volatile organic chemicals for
which final MCLGs were promulgated (50 Federal Register 46902-46933,
November 13, 1985), and has proposed MCLGs for a larger group of inorganic
chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and microorganisms (50 Federal
Register 46936-47022, November 13, 1985).  Exhibit 4-7 lists values for both
proposed MCLs and proposed MCLGs.  In general, proposed requirements,
including proposed MCLs and MCLGs, should be used in the same manner as "other
criteria, advisories, and guidance" (as defined in the CERCLA compliance with
other environmental statutes policy memorandum; see Section 2.3).  It should
be recognized, however, that proposed requirements can be changed before they
are promulgated; thus, final requirements may differ from proposed ones.
After a proposed requirement that falls in the ARAR category becomes final, it
should be added to the active list of ARARs.

    4.3.2.2  Drinking Water  Health  Advisories

    In addition to MCLs and MCLGs, EPA provides drinking water suppliers with
guidance on various chemicals that may be encountered in a water system.  The
Office of Drinking Water's nonregulatory health advisories are concentrations

of contaminants in drinking water at which adverse effects would not be
anticipated to occur.  A margin of safety is included to protect sensitive
members of the population.  The health advisory numbers are developed from            F
data describing noncarcinogenic end-points of toxicity.  They do not                  t
incorporate quantitatively any potential carcinogenic risk from such exposure.
The Office of Drinking Water has recently developed health advisories for 54
chemicals or chemicals groups, and these values are summarized in Exhibit 4-8.
                                                                                      I
    Under certain circumstances and when the appropriate toxicological data            »,
are available, health advisories may be developed for one-day, ten-day,                |
longer-term (several months to several years), and lifetime durations of
exposure.  One-day and ten-day health advisories are calculated for a 10 kg
child (a one-year old infant) assumed to drink one liter of water per day.             |
Lifetime health advisories are calculated for a 70 kg adult, assumed to drink          t,
two liters of water per day.  Longer-term health advisories are calculated for          i
both a 10 kg child and a 70 kg adult.  For chemicals that are known or             .    p
probable human carcinogens according to the proposed Agency classification             4'
scheme, non-zero one-day, ten-day, and longer-term health advisories may be
derived, with attendant caveats.  Health advisories for lifetime exposures are         ,
not recommended for this group of substances.  For these potential carcinogens,        t
drinking water concentrations associated with projected upper 95 percent con-          * i
fidence limit excess lifetime cancer risk of 10-s are provided.  Comparison
of these values to measured or predicted drinking water concentrations can             |~
give an indication of the magnitude of potential carcinogenic risk.                    |.

    This chapter, in conjunction with the Superfund Exposure Assessment
Manual, has presented instructions for estimating exposure point
concentrations of the indicator chemicals selected in Chapter 3.  Important            t
exposure pathways have been identified.  Ambient concentrations of the                 'L
indicator chemicals have been modeled from the point of release to the point
of human exposure for important exposure pathways, and these estimated                 f  <

requirements and other federal criteria, advisories, and .guidance.  If all
indicator chemicals have applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements,          «-
the baseline public health evaluation is now complete.  In this case, proceed          {
to Chapter 8 to begin the analysis of remedial alternatives.  Otherwise, the           *--

                        STEP  3:   ESTIMATION OF  CHEMICAL  INTAKES
             To  assess  the  potential  adverse  health  effects associated with a site, the
          amount  of  human  exposure  to  the  selected  contaminants must be determined.  In
          this  chapter,  methods  are presented  for estimating human exposures using the
          environmental  concentrations of  substances  that were estimated by the methods
          described  in Chapter 4 and the Superfund  Exposure Assessment Manual.

             Human  exposure is  expressed  in terms  of intake, which is the amount of
          substance  taken  into the  body per unit body weight per unit time.21J  Intakes
          are calculated separately for exposures to  chemical contaminants in each
          environmental  medium -- air,  ground  water,  surface water, and soil.  Then, for
          each  exposed population-at-risk, intakes  for the same route of exposure are
          summed, resulting  in a total oral exposure  and total inhalation exposure.
          Dermal  exposure, if determined to be important, should be estimated separately.
          Exhibit 5-1 is an  overview of the intake  estimation step.

             Because short-term (subchronic)  exposures to relatively high
          concentrations of  chemical contaminants can cause different toxic effects than
          those caused by  long-term (chronic)  exposures to lower concentrations, two
          intake  levels  are  calculated for each chemical -- the subchronic daily intake
          (SDI) and  the  chronic  daily  intake (GDI).   These calculated intakes are based
          on short-term  and  long-term  concentrations  derived for each chemical using the
          procedures in  the  preceding  chapter.  All intakes are expressed in mg/kg/day.

             In  circumstances where contamination  already has reached a point of human
          exposure,  intake calculations may be made based on personal air monitoring and
          body  burden analysis data for exposed individuals.  All human subject
          monitoring and assessment should be  coordinated with the Agency for Toxic
          Substances and Disease Registry, Department  of Health and Human Services.
          Results should be  reported directly  on Worksheets 5-1 through 5-4.

             The sections that  follow give standard  methods to estimate human intakes
          through air, ground water, and surface water.  If other exposure routes, such
          as dermal absorption and  soil ingestion are  important, contact the Exposure
          Assessment Group,  Office  of  Research and Development, U.S.  EPA, Washington,
          D.C.  20460, for additional  guidance.  Standard intake assumptions are given
          in Exhibit 5-2.  If more  accurate site-specific  information is available, it
          can be  used to give a  better representation of risk at the  site.  See Exhibit
          5-2 for an example  of  how to  use the standard assumptions and how to make
    21J The term intake is used instead of dose because the information
required to estimate dose is often unavailable.  To estimate dose, information
indicating the amount of a chemical that may be absorbed (e.g., across lung or
gastrointestinal tract lining or through the skin) and subsequently distributed
to target organs or tissues would be needed.  When absorption data are
available they can be incorporated into the assessment.  Because adequate
absorption data for specific chemicals are relatively rare, they cannot be
used consistently and are not included here.

    If site data indicate  that  the exposed population has a water  consumption
    rate of 1.2 liters/day and  an average weight of 60 kg, and the contaminant
    concentration is 3 mg/liter in drinking water:

                                   -80-
adjustments based on more accurate intake and body weight information for the
exposed population.  For example, higher than average fish consumption may be
important for some sites where surface water contamination is a problem.  In
addition, the standard intake values do not account for reduced intakes
resulting from human activity patterns that reduce human contact with the
contamination (i.e., it is assumed that exposure occurs 24 hours per day for
the entire period that contamination is present).  This conservative approach
can be modified based on site-specific information to the contrary.  For
example, if an industrial area is an inhalation exposure point, it may be
appropriate to adjust the standard intake factor by the fraction of a year
spent at the exposure point.

    Worksheets are provided as a method of organizing information and keeping
track of intake calculations.  However, they will not generally be required as
part of the final report.  Only Worksheets 5-5, 5-6, and 5-7, the summary
worksheets, will be required for submission with the final report.


5.1  CALCULATE AIR  INTAKES

    Human intake of contaminants present in the air is dependent on the
contaminant concentration, the frequency and volume of inhalation, the
duration of exposure, and in the case of particulates, particle size.

    The measured or predicted atmospheric concentrations (short-term and
long-term) of each contaminant at specific exposure points are given in
Worksheet 4-4.  Insert -these values into the appropriate columns of Worksheet
5-1.  Note that a separate worksheet must be prepared for each inhalation
exposure point.

    A standard human intake coefficient has been calculated for use in
determining air exposures in the absence of more accurate site-specific intake
information.  This value takes into account the frequency (breathing rate),
volume, and duration of inhalation intake as well as an average human body
weight.  The intake coefficient is calculated by dividing the daily air intake
by the average adult body weight to give a value in m3/kg/day.  This
coefficient has been inserted into Worksheet 5-1 and is based on the standard
adult values given in Exhibit 5-2.  For short-term exposures, include the
duration of exposure on Worksheet 5-1.

    Using Worksheet 5-1, estimate subchronic and chronic air intakes for each
indicator chemical at all relevant exposure points.  Note that absorption of
chemicals into the body is not accounted for by the intake estimates (or by
the critical toxicity values described in Chapter 6).  However, if
chemical-specific absorption data are available, they can be used to refine
the assessment as long as the procedures and values are clearly documented.


5.2  CALCULATE GROUND-WATER INTAKES

    Human exposure to contaminated ground water can occur when contaminated
wells are used as a drinking water source.  The degree of exposure depends on
the concentration of the contaminant in drinking water, the amount of water
consumed per day, and the duration of exposure.'

    The measured or predicted concentrations (short-term and long-term) of
each contaminant in ground water at each exposure point are given in Worksheet
4-4.  Insert these values into appropriate columns of Worksheet 5-2.  Note
that separate worksheets must be prepared for each ground-water exposure point.

    A standard human intake coefficient has been calculated for use in
determining drinking water exposures.  This value takes into account both
average daily consumption of water and average body weight.  The intake
coefficient is calculated by dividing the standard drinking water intake by
the average adult body weight to give a value in 1/kg/day.  This coefficient
has been inserted into Worksheet 5-2 and is based on the standard adult values
given in Exhibit 5-2.  For short-term exposures, also include the duration of
exposure on Worksheet 5-2.

    Using Worksheet 5-2, estimate subchronic and chronic drinking water
intakes for each indicator chemical at all relevant ground-water exposure
points.


5.3  CALCULATE SURFACE WATER INTAKES

    For potential exposures to contaminated surface water, calculate intakes
from ingestion of drinking water and ingestion of contaminated fish, as
appropriate for the site being assessed.

    • Drinking Water.  Human exposure to contaminated surface water can occur .
when the surface water is used as a drinking water source.  The degree of
exposure to contaminants present in drinking water derived from surface water
depends on the same factors described for drinking water derived from ground
water.

    Obtain the concentrations (short-term and long-term) of each chemical
present in surface water at each exposure point from Worksheet 4-4.  Insert
these values into the appropriate columns of Worksheet 5-3.  The standard
human intake coefficient for drinking water is the same as that used for
calculating ground-water intakes and has been inserted into Worksheet 5-3.
For short-term exposures, include the duration of exposure on Worksheet 5-3.

    Using Worksheet 5-3, estimate subchronic and chronic drinking water
intakes for each indicator chemical at all relevant surface water exposure
points.

    Fish Consumption.  Another potential route of exposure from contaminated
surface water is through the ingestion of contaminated fish.  The factors that
determine human exposure from contaminated fish are the contaminant
concentration in the fish, the amount of fish consumed, and the duration of
exposure.

    The concentration of a contaminant in fish can be estimated by multiplying
the concentration of the contaminant in surface water by the fish bioconcen-
tration factor for that chemical.  Obtain surface water concentrations for
each chemical at each exposure point from Worksheet 4-4.  Insert the
appropriate values into the appropriate columns of Worksheet 5-4.  Standard

huraan intake coefficients are calculated by dividing standard freshwater fish
intake per day by the average adult body weight.  These coefficients have been
inserted into the worksheet.  Obtain the fish bioconcentration factor for each        I
chemical from Appendix C or other sources.  Again, for short-term exposures           I
include the duration of exposure on Worksheet 5-4.  If the concentration of
contaminants in fish has been measured, this concentration can be used for            I
short-term exposure.  It should not necessarily be used for long-term exposure        |
because surface water concentrations are likely to change over the 70-year
period being considered, causing the concentration of contaminants in the fish        _
to change over time.                                                                  t

    Using Worksheet 5-4, estimate subchronic and chronic daily intakes from

5.4  CALCULATE INTAKES FROM OTHER EXPOSURE  PATHWAYS                      £

    There are a number of other potentially important exposure pathways that
are more difficult to quantify than those just described.  Nevertheless, the          I
human chemical intakes received though such pathways may be extremely                 »-(
important to certain populations-at-risk.  For example, at some sites children
playing outdoors may be exposed to contaminated soil through dermal absorption        F
or through direct ingestion of soil.  If young children have access to a site         (
or adjacent area with contaminated surface soil, exposure for this
subpopulation via soil ingestion can be estimated based on the following              m~
assumptions:                      ...                                 I (

        •   Ingestion is primarily of concern for children between
            age two and six;                                                          f

        •   Ingestion rate varies from 0.1 to 5 grams per day,
            with higher values representative of pica behavior; and                    i  ^

        •   Body weight of children in this age group averages 17
            kg, and ranges from 10 to 25 kg.

These assumptions are based on EPA (1984), Kimbrough et al. (1984), and                L
Anderson et al. (1984).  In addition to exposures via soil ingestion, other
soil-related pathways, particularly migration of contaminants to ground and
surface waters, may be very important at a site and therefore should be
considered.

    Another potential exposure pathway could be agricultural land being                I
irrigated with contaminated surface or ground water; human exposure would                ^
occur if produce is contaminated and ingested.  Humans may also be exposed via
consumption of game animals that reside in contaminated areas.  Contaminated           I"
surface waters, in addition to providing drinking water, may be used for               L
recreation and humans may be exposed by swimming in such waters.  This may
result in dermal, oral, and inhalation exposures.  During bathing or                   l"1
showering, dermal or inhalation exposure may occur.  Volatilization while              L
cooking with contaminated water may result in inhalation exposure.

    Formulas and worksheets for these less common exposure pathways have not           I
been included in this manual because there has been little experience on which         *••-
to base standard formulas.  It should be noted, however, that at certain sites

and  for  certain populations-at-risk, these less common routes of exposure may
be significant.   If one of  these  exposure pathways  (e.g., exposure to soil,
dermal exposure or surface  water  ingestion while swimming) has been identified
as significant, the Exposure Assessment Group at EPA headquarters should be
contacted  for guidance on a method  for calculating  chemical intakes.


5.5  COMBINE PATHWAY-SPECIFIC INTAKES TO  YIELD  TOTAL ORAL AND
     TOTAL INHALATION  INTAKES

     In this step, total exposure  scenarios are developed for each exposure
point, and the relevant route-specific intakes are  combined for the affected
population.  This exposure  summation gives the total daily oral intake and
total daily inhalation intake of  each chemical to which the population may be
exposed.

     In Chapter 4, chemical  concentrations at the significant exposure point
were estimated for each identified  exposure pathway (see Worksheets 4-2 and
4-4).  Recall that the significant  exposure point for a pathway is the point
of highest individual exposure, although locations with large exposed
populations and lower exposure  levels should also be included in the analysis
as supplementary  exposure points.   Now the task is to determine, for each
significant exposure point  identified in Chapter 4, which of the other
exposure pathways could contribute  to total exposure at that point.  Use
Worksheet 5-5 to  record this information.  Be sure to list any potentially
important non-quantified exposure pathways on Worksheet 5-5.  If the
populations-at-risk for different exposure pathways are mutually exclusive, do
not  sum  intakes from both pathways  for the same exposure point.  For example,
it is incorrect to sum the  intakes  associated with ingesting drinking water
from different sources if each  person's exposure is exclusively from one of
the  sources.

    After a total exposure scenario has been developed for each significant
exposure point (e.g., a population  living near the site with private drinking
water),  combine the individual  chemical intakes calculated for each of the
oral exposure pathways identified for that exposure point.   Do the same for
inhalation.  Referring to Worksheet 5-5, insert the appropriate intakes to be
combined (from Worksheets 5-1 through 5-4) into Worksheet 5-6 (SDIs) and
Worksheet 5-7 (GDIs).  Note that  some intake values from Worksheets 5-1
through  5-4 may need to be adjusted when applied to exposure points other than
those specified.  In situations where the significant exposure points of two
pathways are relatively far apart,  the project management team must judge
whether  the additional calculation  effort is warranted or whether simply
summing  the intakes for the significant exposure points is sufficient.  For
example, if the significant exposure points for an air and a ground-water
pathway differ, the project manager may choose to adjust the intakes from
Worksheets 5-1 and 5-2 before using them for a total exposure estimate or may
combine the unadjusted intakes  for  a conservative total exposure estimate.

    The next step in the summation procedure is to add the intakes from fish
and drinking water ingestion for  each chemical to give the total oral SDI
(Worksheet 5-6) and GDI (Worksheet 5-7) for the population-at-risk at each
significant exposure point.   The  existence of any non-quantified exposure
pathways should be noted on these summary intake worksheets.  In addition,  be
sure to note the number of people exposed at each significant exposure point.

              The  intake  summation  procedure  described here  is most  relevant  to  the
           estimation  of total  chronic  exposure  levels.  When estimating  total  subchronic
           exposures,  be sure not  to sum peak  intake values estimated for different time
           periods .  Remember,  the time period defined as short term  is anywhere  from a
           10  to  a  90  day  period.  If the  SDI  for one pathway is  estimated  to  occur
           immediately and the  SDI for  another pathway affecting  the  same exposure point
           is  predicted to occur in  5 years, it  would be improper to  sum  these  -- they
           would  affect the same population, but at different times.   In  this  situation,
           assessing short-term risks based on the higher of  the  two  values usually will
           provide  a reasonable assessment of  short-term risks.   However, exposures
           likely to occur immediately  should  also be assessed.
              Humazi  intakes  for  the indicator chemicals have been calculated from
          measured or predicted  ambient exposure point concentrations.  Intakes received
          from air,  ground water, surface water, and fish consumption have been
          calculated separately  for each exposure pathway and combined to give total
          oral and total inhalation intakes for each significant exposure point and each
          selected indicator chemical.  These intake estimates will be combined with
          toxicity information gathered for Chapter 6 to perform the risk
          characterization for Chapter 7.

                     STEP 4:  TOXICITY ASSESSMENT
    This chapter describes the critical toxicity values (i.e., numerical values
describing a chemical's toxicity) needed for the risk characterization step of
the Superfund public health evaluation process.  An overview of the toxicity
assessment step of the public health evaluation is shown in Exhibit 6-1.
Toxicity information is used in conjunction with the results of the exposure
assessment to characterize risk.  EPA's verified reference doses (RfDs),22J
evaluations by EPA's Carcinogen Assessment Group, and Health Effects
Assessment documents (HEAs) developed by EPA's Office of Research and
Development serve as a consistent source of critical toxicity values for the
Superfund public health evaluation process.  Critical toxicity values from
these sources are summarized in Appendix C to this  Manual and also are
contained in PHRED  (Public Health Risk  Evaluation Database).   EPA  believes
that these are currently the best available sources of toxicity values.
However, this process is intended to accommodate new information and, as new
toxicity data become available, Appendix C and PHRED will be updated to
reflect these changes.  Toxicity information for specific chemicals  not
covered in Appendix C may be available through the Environmental Criteria and
Assessment Office (ECAO), U.S. EPA, 26 W. St. Clair Street, Cincinnati,  Ohio
45268.  In situations where Appendix C does not contain the necessary critical
toxicity values for all indicator 'chemicals at a site, ECAO should be contacted
for additional information.  In some cases it may be necessary to derive
appropriate values based on available toxicological or epidemiologic data.

    Three values that describe the degree of toxicity posed by a chemical are
required in the process:

        •   the acceptable intake for subchronic exposure (AIS);
        •   the acceptable intake for chronic exposure (AIC);  and
        •   the carcinogenic potency factor (for potential
            carcinogenic effects only).

These values are based on empirical data and have not been adjusted  for
site-specific conditions.  For some chemicals,  separate critical toxicity
values are available for ingestion and inhalation routes of exposure.
                                           *
    AIS and AIC values are required for all chemicals being evaluated.   These
values are derived from quantitative information available from studies  in
animals (or observations made in human epidemiologic studies)  on the
relationship between intake and noncarcinogenic toxic effects.   They are
designed to be protective of sensitive populations.   The units for the  AIS  and
AIC are the same as those developed for SDI and GDI in the human exposure phase
of the public health evaluation -- mg/kg body weight/day.   For teratogenic
chemicals, AIS values are generally derived for the teratogenic effects.
    22J  Reference doses are for noncarcinogenic effects and are similar in
concept to acceptable daily intakes (ADIs).

    AIS  values  are  determined by a process  similar  to  the procedure used  to
develop  reference dose values, except  that  subchronic  effects  are  the  basis of
the values  instead  of chronic effects.   Most  AIS values are based  on
subchronic  (10-90 day) animal studies,  although some are derived from  human
exposure data.   For chemicals without  appropriate human data,  the  highest
subchronic  exposure level not causing  adverse effects, or no-observed-adverse-
effect-level  CNOAEL),  is  determined for all valid animal studies available in
the literature.  The  NOAEL is then divided  by appropriate uncertainty  factors
to give  the AIS.  Uncertainty factors  usually include  a factor of  10 to
account  for extrapolation from animal  experiments to human effects and a
factor of 10  for intraspecies variability  (i.e., to account for the fact  that
two individuals  of  the same species may not react to the same  quantity of a
chemical with the same level of response).

    In general,  AIC values are based on long-term animal studies.  For a  few
chemicals,  however, adequate human data are available  and are  used.  The
highest  chronic  exposure  level not causing  an adverse  effect (NOAEL) is
determined  by examining literature values from all  appropriate animal
studies.  The NOAEL value is then divided by  uncertainty factors as in AIS
development.  Again,  a factor of 10 is  used for extrapolation  from animal
effects  to  human effects, and a factor  of 10  is used to account for
intraspecies  variability.  If chronic  studies are not  available, subchronic
NOAELs are  used  and divided by an additional  factor of 10 to account for
uncertainties in extrapolating from subchronic to chronic exposures.

    The  carcinogenic  potency factor is  expressed as the lifetime cancer risk
per mg/kg body weight/day.   This factor is  equivalent  to q * when  it is

based on animal  study data evaluated by the multistage model.  This factor is
an estimated  upper  95  percent confidence limit of the  carcinogenic potency of
the chemical.  From it, an upper bound  estimate of  cancer risk can be
determined.

    Although  toxicity  assessment is an  integral part of the overall public
health evaluation,  in  most cases limited new  work will actually be required of
the site analyst to complete this step.  To prevent duplication of effort and
ensure consistency  among  public health  evaluations, the toxicity assessment
step has already been  done for many common  toxic substances and is documented
in a HEA or RfD  summary.   If EPA has completed verification  of  a  reference
dose (RfD)  for  a specific chemical, then that value  should be  used as  an
AIC.   If critical  toxicity values  are not available in Appendix  C, contact
ECAO for further guidance.   Worksheet 6-1 is  provided  as a format  for
summarizing the  required  toxicity data.

    In this chapter,  toxicity information was  collected to combine with
exposure information  from the  previous  chapter to allow characterization  of
the health risks of the indicator chemicals.   Three kinds of data were
collected:  chronic and subchronic acceptable intakes  for noncarcinogenic
effects and carcinogenic  potency factors for  potential carcinogenic effects.
Using these data, long-term and short-term  health risks can be characterized.
Guidance for  risk characterization is presented in  Chapter 7.

                    STEP 5:  RISK CHARACTERIZATION
    In this  final step of the baseline public health evaluation process, a
comparison  is made between projected intakes and reference levels for
noncarcinogens and between calculated risks and target risks for potential
carcinogens.  In the  following sections, the methodology for making these
comparisons  is described.  There are separate discussions for noncarcinogenic
and carcinogenic effects because the methodology differs for these two classes
of chemical  toxicity.  Exhibit 7-1 is an overview of the risk characterization
step.

    Remember, comparisons to applicable or relevant and appropriate
requirements and other standards and criteria should already have been made
for those chemicals having them (see Section 4.3).   This comparison to
requirements, in addition to the risk characterization results, will be
included in  the final public health evaluation report in the feasibility study.


7.1  NONCARCINOGENIC EFFECTS

    Most sites being  assessed will have more than one indicator chemical being
evaluated for noncarcinogenic effects.  To assess the overall potential for
noncarcinogenic effects posed by multiple chemicals, a hazard index approach
has been developed based on EPA's Guidelines for Health Risk Assessment of
Chemical Mixtures (EPA, 1986d) .  This approach assumes that multiple sub-
threshold exposures could result in an adverse effect and that the magnitude
of the adverse effect will be proportional to the sum of the ratios of the
sub-threshold exposures to acceptable exposures.  This can be expressed as:
            Hazard Index = E^RI^ + E2/RL2 + ... + E

    where    E. = Exposure level (or intake) for the i   toxicant

            RL. = Reference level (or intake) for the i   toxicant

    Any single chemical with an exposure level greater than the reference
level will cause the hazard index to exceed unity, and when the index exceeds
unity, there may be concern for a potential health risk.   For multiple chemical
exposures, the hazard index can exceed one even if no single chemical exceeds
its acceptable level.  However, the assumption of additivity reflected in the
hazard index equation is most properly applied to compounds that induce the
same effect by the same mechanism.   Consequently, application of the equation
to a mixture of compounds that are not expected to induce the same type of
effects could overestimate the potential for effects.  If the  hazard index
results  in  a value greater than unity,  segregate the compounds in the mixture
by critical effect and derive separate hazard indices for  each  effect.
Critical effects are described in the Health Effects Assessment documents.

     To  make the comparison between  estimated  subchronic  exposure  to several
 chemicals  and acceptable subchronic intakes,  determine the  subchronic hazard
 index by calculating and then summing  the  SDI:AIS  ratios  for  all  chemicals.
 Use  Worksheet 7-1  to record this  calculation  and summation.   A  separate
 subchronic hazard  index should be developed for each  total  exposure point.  Be
 careful  to sum ratios only for chemicals and  exposure pathways  for which the
 short-term concentration time period is the same.

     If  any chemicals with teratogenic  effects  are  being  assessed, calculate a
 separate subchronic  hazard index  for them.  The subchronic  daily  intake (SDI)
 and  the  reference  level for teratogenic effects should be used  for assessment
 of teratogenic risk.

     To make the comparison between  estimated  chronic  exposure to  indicator
 chemicals  and acceptable chronic  intake, follow a  similar procedure,
 calculating and then summing the  ratios of CDI:AIC for all  chemicals to give a
 chronic  hazard index.   Calculate  a  separate index  for each  total  exposure
 point, using Worksheet 7-2 to calculate and record the necessary  information.

     Throughout this  entire public health evaluation process,  intakes and risks
 from oral  and inhalation exposure pathways have been  estimated  separately.
 This was done so that route-specific toxicity  data could  be used.  However,
 the  possible effects of multimedia  exposure should be evaluated by summing the
 hazard  indices for inhalation and oral exposures at each  total  exposure
 point.   This will  ensure that acceptable levels are not being exceeded by
 combined intakes when multiple exposure pathways exist.

     It  is  emphasized that the hazard index is  not  a mathematical prediction of
 incidence  or severity of effects.   It  is simply a  numerical index to help
 identify potential exposure problems.  Results for multiple chemicals should
 not  be  interpreted too strongly.

     If some of the indicator chemicals do not  have .adequate toxicity
 information,  thus  preventing their  inclusion  in the hazard  index, the hazard
 index may  not be reflective of actual hazard at the site.  Consideration of
 chemicals  that do  not  have toxicity values could significantly  increase the
 hazard index to levels of concern.   Professional judgment is  required to
 determine  how to interpret the hazard  index for a  particular  site.


 7.2  POTENTIAL CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS

    For  potential  carcinogens,  risks are estimated as probabilities.  The
 carcinogenic  potency factor,  which  is an upper 95  percent confidence limit on
 the probability of response per unit intake of a chemical over  a lifetime
 (i.e., only 5  percent  chance that the probability  of  response could be greater
 than the estimated value on the basis of the experimental data  used), converts
 estimated  intakes  directly to incremental risk.  If the exposure assessment is
 conservative,  the  resultant risk  predicted is  an upper-bound  estimate.
 Consequently,  predicted risk may  overestimate  the  actual  risk at a site.
However, this  method  is  used so that carcinogenic  risk will not be
 underestimated.

    Because relatively low intakes are most likely from environmental
exposures, it can be assumed that the dose-response relationship will be in
the linear portion of the dose-response curve.  Under this assumption, the
slope of the dose-response curve is equivalent to the carcinogenic potency
factor, and risk will be directly related to intake at low levels of
exposure.  The carcinogenic risk equation is:

        Risk = GDI x Carcinogenic Potency Factor

The carcinogenic risk estimate will generally be an upper-bound estimate.

    This equation is valid only at low risk levels.  For sites where chemical
intakes may be large (e.g., estimated carcinogenic risk above 0.01), an
alternate model should be considered.  For example, the one-hit equation,
which is consistent with the linear low-dose model given above, may be useful:

        Risk = 1 - exp (- GDI x Carcinogenic Potency Factor)

In this situation, consult ECAO in Cincinnati for guidance on an appropriate           .

    For multiple compounds, the risk equation may be generalized to:

        Risk = I (GDI. x Carcinogenic Potency Factor.)                         •        |

This risk summation, also based on EPA's risk assessment guidelines, assumes           r
that individual intakes are small.  It also assumes independence of action by          I {
the compounds involved (i.e., that there are no synergistic or antagonistic
chemical interactions and that all chemicals have the same endpoint, cancer).
If these assumptions are incorrect, over- or under-estimation of the actual            I
risk could result.                                                                     L

    For Superfund public health evaluations, it also is assumed that cancer            I  <
risks from various exposure routes are additive.  Expressed mathematically             |
this is:

    Carcinogenic Risk    [GDI (inhalation) x Potency Factor (inhalation)]  +           |
    for Chemical X    =
                               [GDI (oral) x Potency Factor (oral)]                      ,

Therefore, the total carcinogenic risk for a site is estimated by:                     L

    Total Risk = (Carcinogenic Risk for Chemical 1 + . . . + Chemical.)                i

    The result of the characterization will be upper-bound estimates of the
potential carcinogenic risk for each total exposure point.  Estimates for
individual chemicals and pathways as well as estimates of aggregate risk               I
should be developed and reported.  Use Worksheet 7-3 to record the risk                l-

7.3  UNCERTAINTIES

    The public health evaluation process has been designed to rely on a subset
of the chemicals present at a site.  These indicator chemicals were identified
on the basis of certain preliminary data.  It is important at this time to
review the original data used to select the indicator chemicals to make sure
that it remains valid and that new indicator chemical candidates have not been
uncovered during the evaluation process.  It is wise to reevaluate the initial
choice of indicator chemicals at this time to assure yourself that, having
been through the entire process, they are still the appropriate chemicals on
which to base the public health evaluation.

    It is emphasized that all estimates of carcinogenic risk and hazard index
are dependent on numerous assumptions, and many uncertainties are inherent in
the risk assessment process.  Probably without exception, information on site          <
history and site characterization data will be lacking in some areas.  Most           F
toxicity information is derived from animal studies, and reputable scientists    .     fe
disagree about how to interpret these data.  A single toxicity parameter based
on an animal study does not convey the route of administration of test doses          _.
of the suspect chemicals, the organ(s) in which the response occurred, or the         r
severity of endpoints in the animal experiment used to calculate the                  * <
dose-response relationship.  Consequently, extrapolation to humans is a source
of uncertainty.  Many toxicity studies are done at high doses relative to             F
exposures associated with waste disposal sites; extrapolation from high to low        t..
doses also increases the uncertainty of risk numbers.  Exposure modeling is
based on many simplifying assumptions that add to the uncertainty.  Often the         r~
quality or quantity of site-specific chemical monitoring data is inadequate.          I \
The additivity of toxicant risks and the additivity of doses of the same
toxicant from different exposure routes are additional assumptions and
additional sources of uncertainty.  Consequently, the results of the baseline         t
evaluation should not be taken as a characterization of absolute risk.  An            L
important 'use of these results is to highlight potential sources of risk at a
site so that they may be dealt with effectively in the remedial process.              f (

    The procedures described in this chapter are not expected to supplant
expert judgment nor can they be designed to include all of the information             .-
that may be available.   If there are specific data germane to the assumption           |
of additivity discussed above (e.g., if two compounds are present at the same          *~-
site and it is known that the combination is five times more toxic than the             4
sum of toxicities for the two compounds), then modify the risk estimate                j.
accordingly.  If data on chemical interactions are available but are not good
enough to support quantitative assessment, note the information on the
"assumptions" portion of the appropriate worksheet.                                    i

                      DEVELOPMENT  OF PERFORMANCE  GOALS AND ANALYSIS
                            OF RISKS FOR  REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
    The baseline public health evaluation, using the procedures described in
the preceding chapters, provides considerable information on the baseline
health risks (i.e., in the absence of remedial action) from the site.   This
information about chemical releases, routes of exposure, human exposure
points, and the level and timing of risk will be used as input to further
development of the proposed remedial alternatives.  This chapter describes  the
procedures for developing target chemical concentrations for remedial
alternatives based on public health considerations and for comparison  of
health risks associated with each remedial alternative being considered.
Conceptual alternatives will have already been developed as a concurrent  part
of the feasibility study process.  By this time, site engineers should have
defined the options available for remedial actions at a site based on
feasibility and technical considerations.  This chapter provides methods  to
compare public health risks among the remedial actions developed in other
parts of the RI/FS process.

    The NCP defines two different types of remedial alternatives that  can be
developed during the feasibility study process:  source control
alternatives and management of migration alternatives.   This  chapter
provides guidance for developing performance goals and for estimating  risks
associated with a given level of control for management of migration
alternatives.

    Source control alternatives are those that control or remove the source  of
contamination before it has migrated much beyond the source.   'For example,
site excavation and waste immobilization techniques are cons ^ red source
control alternatives.  Such remedial alternatives should be assessed and
designed on the basis of applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements
(as defined by the NCP; see Section 2.3) and best engineering judgment.
However, best engineering judgment does not indicate how much to excavate or
help to determine acceptable residual levels of chemicals in soil.   The
methods described in this chapter can be used to derive target soil
concentrations associated with a target risk range.  Otherwise, the procedures
given in this chapter, with the exception of those described in Section 8.6
for assessing short-term effects, do not apply to source control alternatives.

    Management of migration alternatives are those that address contaminants
that have migrated away from the source.  For example, pump and treat
techniques for removing ground-water contamination are considered management
of migration alternatives.   These alternatives should be analyzed based on
applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements and/or target health  risk
levels for population exposure points.

    The determination that proposed remedial  alternatives attain, exceed, or
fall below RCRA  design and operating standards or any other applicable or
relevant and appropriate requirement  that is not an ambient concentration
level is made independently of the procedures in this  chapter.   Thus,

                                  -107-
although RCRA requirements are a key consideration in the development of
remedial alternatives, they do not provide ambient concentration targets for
specific chemicals and are not discussed further in this chapter.  The
procedures of this chapter allow development of ambient concentation goals to
assist in refining remedial alternatives.

    Some sites may have both source control and management of migration
alternatives under evaluation.  For these sites, follow the procedures
described in this chapter for management of migration alternatives.

    The remedial alternative ultimately chosen is a risk management decision
that is made as part of the overall feasibility study.  This chapter provides
methods for a health-based comparison among alternatives.  After a remedial
action has been chosen, the target concentrations developed for the comparison
can be used as performance goals for the remedial alternative and to calculate
allowable release rates for contaminants at the site.  When applicable or
relevant and appropriate ambient requirements are available for all indicator
chemicals at a site, the project manager will have specific environmental
concentration levels for each chemical to use as performance goals.

    When applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements are not available
for all indicator chemicals, remedies considered should reduce ambient
chemical concentrations to levels associated with a carcinogenic risk range of
  -4      -7
10   to 10   (e.g., at least one remedial alternative being considered
                                                  -4             -6
could be associated with a carcinogenic risk of 10  , one with 10  , and

one with 10  ) where possible.  For noncarcinogenic contaminants, exposure
point concentrations should be reduced to correspond to acceptable intake
levels.  At sites where both potential carcinogens and noncarcinogens are
involved, the potential carcinogens will generally drive the design process
because concentrations corresponding to the target risk range are usually
lower than acceptable concentrations of noncarcinogens.

    When some indicator chemicals have applicable or relevant and appropriate
requirements and others do not, the preferred approach is first to evaluate
remedial alternatives based on the total target carcinogenic risk range, as
when there are no applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements.  Then,
for each chemical with a requirement, determine whether at least one
alternative attains, one exceeds, and one falls below its requirement.  Given
the broad target range of carcinogenic risk, it is likely that these three
conditions would be met.  If not, additional remedial options may have to be
developed to satisfy the proposed policy of considering options that exceed,
attain, and fall below applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements.

    A tiered approach for evaluating and comparing alternatives is described
in this chapter.  The first step is a reevaluation of the indicator chemicals
to determine whether any additions are necessary due to treatability
concerns.  Second, human exposure pathways are determined for each remedial
alternative.  The next step is development of preliminary target
concentrations, based either on applicable or relevant and appropriate
requirements or the potential carcinogenic indicator chemicals at the site.
The initial focus on potential carcinogens rather than noncarcinogens greatly
simplifies the process, and it is a logical approach because potential
carcinogens will usually drive the final design (i.e.', environmental
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

f
                                             -108-
concentrations of potential  carcinogens will generally have to be reduced to
lower  levels  than concentrations of noncarcinogens).  For sites without
applicable or relevant  and appropriate requirements, the next step, after
developing preliminary  target concentrations, is to estimate corresponding
long-term concentrations of  noncarcinogenic indicator chemicals to ensure that
acceptable levels are attained.  If necessary, the alternative should be
modified to provide adequate control of noncarcinogens.  The final steps of
the tiered approach are to assess potential short-term health risks associated
with the remedial alternative and to evaluate the potential health effects
that could result from  failure of the alternative.

    Exhibit 8-1 presents a simple flowchart of the process for formulating
performance goals.  The remainder of this chapter describes specific
procedures for comparing health risks and developing performance goals for
management of migration remedial measures.  The presentation of methods in
this chapter  assumes an understanding of the previous sections of the manual.


8.1  REEVALUATE  INDICATOR  CHEMICALS

    The first step in determining target concentrations for management of
migration remedial alternatives is a review of indicator chemicals.  Indicator
chemicals have already been  selected for assessing baseline site risks, but
the list of indicators may need to be modified because of differences among
chemicals in  treatability, chemical class, and propensity to be released from
specific remedial alternatives.   Some chemicals may be more difficult to treat
than those chosen as indicators for the baseline evaluation.   These more
recalcitrant  chemicals should be considered in the design of remedial
alternatives.  .It may be possible to use chemical class as a surrogate for
treatability  because chemicals within a class have similar physical and
chemical properties.  Consequently, chemical classes that were not important
in the baseline evaluation may become important.   In addition, some remedial
alternatives will control or release different chemicals than others (e.g.,
volatiles will be of more concern for an air stripping alternative than a site
capping alternative).  Review the list of selected indicator chemicals
(Worksheet 3-5) and the list of all chemicals present at the site (Worksheet
3-1) to determine whether additional chemicals should be included as
indicators, taking into account treatability, chemical class, and new release
sources associated with each specific alternative.


8.2  IDENTIFY  POTENTIAL  EXPOSURE PATHWAYS

    The next step in determining target concentrations for management of
migration remedial alternatives is identifying potential exposure pathways.
Again,  this task has been completed for the no-action alternative, but it
should be reviewed in light of the particular remedial alternatives under
consideration.  Some exposure routes identified for the baseline analysis may
not exist for certain remedial alternatives, while some new exposure routes
may result.   For example, long-term pumping and air-stripping treatment of
ground water may result in air exposures  not occurring under the no-action
alternative.   Therefore, for each management of migration remedial alternative

 remaining  after  initial  screening  (Chapter  2 of the Guidance for Feasibility
 Studies),  determine  the  possible sources of chemical release, transport media,
 human  exposure points, and  exposure  routes.

    8.2.1   Determine Possible  Sources of Chemical  Release

    Based  on available information from preliminary site  assessments and the
 remedial investigation,  identify and evaluate the sources of chemical release
 that could result  from each remedial alternative being evaluated.  Consider
 the possibilities  of chemical  releases to air, surface water, ground water,
 and soil from sources on the site itself and also from certain off-site
 sources resulting  from the  remedial  action  (e.g., a ground-water aeration
 tower  away from  the  site).   In all situations where contaminated materials are
 removed from the site and treated, stored,  or disposed at a RCRA-permitted
 facility,  it is  not  necessary  to include the RCRA facility as a source for
 purposes of this assessment.   Potential releases during transport of wastes
 from the site to the RCRA facility also need not be considered.23-1

    Exhibit 8-2  gives some  examples  of sources of release to each medium
 resulting  from typical remedial activities.  Evaluate the sources given in
 Exhibit 8-2 and  any  others  relevant  to the  site to determine whether each is
 important  or unimportant, taking into consideration the potential quantity of
 waste  that may be  released, the frequency of releases, and any other important
 considerations.  Be  sure to consider the possibility of other release sources
 not listed  in Exhibit 8-2.

    Obtain descriptions  and details  of the  remedial alternatives as a basis
 for identifying  additional  potential  release sources.  Use Worksheet 8-1 to
 list and qualitatively evaluate potential release sources for each remedial
 alternative.  Worksheet  8-1 should be supplemented with a map that indicates
 the locations of the release sources  for each alternative.

    8.2.2  Determine Human Exposure Points

    Review Worksheets 4-2 and  4-5 to determine whether the same populations
 included in the  baseline  evaluation  will be affected by the specific remedial
 alternative under  consideration.  If so, note the same information previously
 collected.   Any  new  significant or supplementary exposure points resulting
 from implementation  of a  remedial action should be noted  (see Section 4.1.2,
 for definition and discussion  of significant exposure points).   Populations at
 these points will be characterized in a later step.

    To assist in your evaluation of  specific human exposure points, review
 Section 4.1.  Exhibit 4-3 in that section lists common exposure points for
 chemical releases.   Remember,  the purpose of this task is to evaluate exposure
    23J  Releases from waste transport and management in RCRA permitted
facilities are regulated by applicable RCRA regulations (40 CFR 26-1 to 267)
and are therefore not appropriate considerations for evaluating remedial
alternatives under CERCLA.

    Assemble the information developed in the previous tasks  and determine the
complete exposure pathways that  would exist  for each remedial alternative.             f
Use Worksheet 8-2 to integrate the exposure  pathway information.   A complete           \
exposure pathway has four components --a source of chemical  release,  an
environmental transport medium,  a point where human receptors could be                 r
exposed, and a likely exposure route.  For example, if a release to ground             I
water is projected but ground water  from the affected aquifer is not now  used           ,
or projected to be used, the exposure pathway is incomplete.

    8.2.4  Identify All Exposure Pathways for  Each Exposure Point

    To determine the total exposure  at each  exposure point for  a remedial
alternative, review the pathways developed in Worksheet 8-2.  Develop
realistic total exposure scenarios (e.g., drinking contaminated ground water
or contacting contaminated surface water) that combine the different pathways
through which the population at  an exposure  point could conceivably be
exposed.  Record these on Worksheet  8-3.


8.3  DETERMINE TARGET  CONCENTRATIONS AT HUMAN EXPOSURE
     POINTS

    This task involves analysis  of each indicator chemical relevant to each
significant exposure point (and  supplementary exposure points,  if  necessary)
to determine a target concentration  range for each indicator  chemical  at  the
points of human exposure.  Target concentrations will be calculated on the
basis of applicable or relevant  and  appropriate requirements  or the target
                       -4      -7
cancer risk range of 10   to 10   .  If applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements are not available for all indicator  chemicals,
proceed to Section 8.3.2.

    8.3.1  Target  Concentrations for Chemicals With  Applicable or Relevant
           and Appropriate Requirements

    If all indicator chemicals have  applicable or relevant and  appropriate
ambient concentration requirements,  those requirements will be  used as the
basis for the target concentration range.  Otherwise, target  concentrations
will be based on the target carcinogenic risk range.  Some chemicals may  have
more than one applicable or relevant and appropriate requirement.  In  these

cases, the  requirement most  appropriate  for site exposure conditions should be
used.  For  drinking water  exposures,  for example, Safe Drinking Water Act MCLs
should generally be used if  available.

    List on Worksheet 8-4  the numerical value and source of applicable or
relevant and  appropriate requirements  for all of the indicator chemicals.  The
NCP requires  consideration of remedies that attain, exceed, and fall below
applicable  or relevant and appropriate requirements.2UJ  Therefore, on
Worksheet 8-4,  list a target concentration that exceeds and one that falls
below the applicable or relevant and  appropriate requirements.

    Once target concentrations have been determined for each medium affected,
determine which of the concentrations can be achieved by each of the various
remedial alternatives under  consideration.  Engineering judgment must be used
to initially  determine which remedies are likely to reduce chemicals to the
various target  concentrations.  One approach is to review Worksheet 8-4 and
consider which  of the alternatives under consideration will reduce the most
difficult chemical to treat  to the most restrictive target concentration, the
"exceeds requirements" category.  Next, determine which alternative will
reduce the  most difficult chemical to treat to the level of the requirement.
Then determine which remedy meets the "falls below requirement" category by
reducing the  concentration of the most difficult chemical to treat to the
least restrictive level.  Some of these options may actually be the same
conceptual  remedy modified to meet different operating levels, such as a pump
and treat option with different levels of removal; conversely, they may be
completely  different remedies.  Be sure to verify and document, using chemical
release and transport modeling (see Section 4.2), that the target
concentrations will be met.

    Regardless of the "attain, exceed, and fall below requirements" policy,
all remedies  that eventually will be  considered by the site decision-maker
must be evaluated on public health grounds.   This may be done for the
remainder of  the alternatives either by matching them with target
concentrations or by using a public health evaluation as described in Chapters
3 through 7.

    An example  for a hypothetical site is provided in Worksheet 8-4.  In this
example, site contamination has polluted the ground water.   Only two
contaminants  are present, cadmium and arsenic, both of which have applicable
or relevant and appropriate requirements.  Values for the standards and for
concentrations exceeding and falling below requirements are included.   Assume
that four alternatives are being considered for the site:   cap and slurry
wall;  pump, treat, and reinject; pump, treat, and discharge effluent to
surface water; and provide an alternate water supply that meets the drinking
water standards.  The most restrictive concentration level is a concentration
of 0.0001 mg/1 for cadmium.  Providing an alternate water supply would satisfy
the "exceeds  requirement" policy by reducing cadmium below that level.   The
    2I'-J  Reauthorization necessitates revision of the NCP; consequently,
current  policies regarding attainment of standards may be changed.

 pump/treat/reinject  alternative  can be  designed  to  satisfy  the  arsenic and
 cadmium  standards; by modifying  the operating parameters, it  can  also satisfy
 the  "falls  below  requirement"  policy.   Now  the other  two options  under
 consideration  must be assessed,  either  by determining what  risks  are likely as
 a  result of their implementation (i.e.,  forward  risk  evaluation)  or by back-
 calculating allowable release  rates based on the target concentration range.

     8.3.2  Target Concentration for Chemicals Without Applicable  or Relevant
            and Appropriate Requirements

     For  situations where  all indicator  chemicals do not have  applicable or
 relevant and appropriate  requirements,  target concentrations  for  potential
 carcinogens are calculated based on toxicity and chemical intake  data.
 Potential' carcinogens are evaluated first because target concentrations for
 potential carcinogens generally  will be  lower than acceptable concentrations
 for  noncarcinogens;  thus, potential carcinogens  will  usually drive the design
 process.  Remedial alternatives  under consideration must span the target
 carcinogenic risk range.  Noncarcinogen  exposures will subsequently be
 assessed to ensure that they are below  acceptable levels.

     The  remedial  alternatives  under consideration should have been assessed to
 the  extent  that exposure  points  and routes have  been  determined for each
 alternative.   This section describes how to quantify  the target concentrations
 for  each remedy at each exposure point.  It is necessary to evaluate the risk
 of each  alternative  and to ensure  that  the proposed alternatives  cover a wide
 range of risk.  According to Agency policy, the  target total individual
 carcinogenic risk resulting from exposures at a  Superfund site may range
                   -4     -7
 anywhere between  10    to  10  .   Thus, remedial alternatives being
 considered  should be able to reduce total potential carcinogenic  risks to
 individuals to levels within this  range.  The Agency  also encourages
 development of-alternatives that eliminate carcinogenic risk where such a
 remedy is feasible.   One  remedy  being considered could correspond to a
                       -7            -6                -4
 carcinogenic risk of 10   , one to  10  ,  and one  to 10  .  These may be
 the  same conceptual  alternative  with different operating parameters or may be
 different alternatives altogether.   In addition, the  remaining remedial
 alternatives under consideration must also be evaluated either by calculating
 risks for those alternatives (i.e.,  forward risk evaluation as described in
 Chapters  3  through 7), or by back-calculating allowable release rates based on
 the  target  concentration  range.  For any remedial alternative which was
 developed by back-calculating  release rates, a "forward" risk assessment of
 the  proposed alternative  should  be  performed to  verify that it meets the risk
 level it was designed to  achieve.   This  can be accomplished by following the
 steps described in Chapter 3 through 7.

     8.3.2.1  Apportion Total Potential Carcinogenic  Risk Among Multiple
             Carcinogens

     There are  a number of ways of  translating total risk levels into target
concentrations for individual chemicals.  Ultimately, the site assessor must
judge how the  carcinogenic exposure should be apportioned among multiple
potential carcinogens  and multiple  routes of exposure.  Two simple approaches
to this problem are  presented below as illustrative examples.  The project
                         * * *   October 1986

manager is not restricted to these methods, though they will provide a                I
reasonable starting point.  These  approaches assume low-dose additivity of
carcinogenic risk, which is consistent with Agency risk assessment guidelines.        *
                                                                                      I
    One method is to divide a target carcinogenic risk level by the number of         *
indicator chemicals that are potential carcinogens.  For example, at a target

risk level of 10   where 5 potential carcinogens are of interest, the                 f
resulting target risk  level for each individual potential carcinogen would be

2x10  .  Once the target risk is determined, the target intake can be                 mt
determined using the following formula:                                               W

   Potential Carcinogenic Risk = (Chronic Daily Intake) x (Potency Factor)

                                                 -2            -1                     I
Thus, if. the potency factor for benzene is 5.2x10   (mg/kg/day)  , the                *•-

target benzene intake would be 3.8x10   mg/kg/day:                                    jJ

        [2 x 10"7] * [5.2 x 10"2 (mg/kg/day)"1] = 3.8 x 10"6 mg/kg/day                *-

The same calculations would then be repeated for each potential carcinogen and
each level of the carcinogenic risk range.  This approach is simple and
conservative, ensuring that the target risk will not be exceeded if the target
intakes are attained, but it may not result in the most efficient design.

    Another approach is to let one or two chemicals drive the design process.
One indicator chemical may be so difficult to treat or so potent (e.g.,
dioxin) that exposure  levels must  be extremely low so that the total risk
falls within the target range.  By designing remedies to reduce levels of such
"bad actors" to within the range,  concentrations of other indicator chemicals
may become negligible by default,  although it should still be demonstrated             t-
that these remaining concentrations of other indicator chemicals would not             ^_
violate the risk range.

    These approaches, however, may not be optimal with regard to engineering           I '
design or cost-effectiveness considerations.  Thus, the specific means by              *
which the target carcinogenic risk is apportioned must be determined on a
site-by-site basis.  Worksheet 8-5 illustrates a method for risk apportionment.        P
                                                     -4       -7                       I
This should be done for target risk levels between 10   and 10  .                      *•"

    It is understood that this approach assumes additivity, while in fact              I.
there may be chemical interactions taking place.  Until guidance is issued in          [_
this area, report any information  available on chemical interaction among the
substances of interest.  In the unlikely event that quantitative data are               I
available on the degree to which interactions affect risk, they should be used          t.
to adjust risk estimates.

    Remember, the total individual risks from all routes of exposure must fall          f;
within the target range.  If exposure to a chemical for a given population              fe
occurs by more than one route, the risk must be apportioned among routes in a
similar manner to the apportionment among multiple chemicals.  To determine
where the most efficient reductions in risk can be made, one should first
                                                              I,

 determine  the  target  concentrations  associated with  both  air  and  water  routes
 of  exposure  independently.   Then,  the  design  engineers  may  refine the con-
 ceptual design iteratively  so  that the combined  exposures from  various  routes
 fall within  the stated  range.  These adjustments should be  made based on the
 most risky routes of  exposure  and  the  most cost-effective way to  reduce total
 carcinogenic risk from  various exposure routes.  The following  sections present
 methods for  calculating target concentrations in air and  drinking water.

    8.3.2.2  Calculate Target  Air  Concentrations

    Using  the  following formula, calculate the target  long-term concentration
 in  air for each potential carcinogen:

                                       Target Chronic Daily  Intake
        Long-term Air Concentration  =  	
                                        Human  Intake  Factor

 Use Worksheet  8-6 to  calculate target  air concentrations  for  appropriate
 chemicals.   This should  be  done for  each remedial alternative.  The human
 intake factor  for air is given in  the  worksheet, and the target chronic daily
 intake is  the  intake  corresponding to  the target risk  (see  Worksheet 8-5).

    8.3.2.3  Calculate Target  Drinking Water Concentrations

    A population-at-risk can be exposed to contaminated surface or ground
 water (or  both)  by  ingestion of drinking water.  Calculate  the  target
 long-term  concentration of  potential carcinogens in  drinking  water using the
 following  formula:

                                                 Target Chronic Daily Intake
        Long-term Drinking  Water Concentration = 	
                                                  Human Intake  Factor

 Use Worksheet  8-7 to  calculate the target concentrations for  potential
 carcinogens  in drinking water.  The  intake factor is given  in the worksheet.
 If  intakes from  water exposure besides  drinking water and fish  ingestion, such
 as dermal  exposure or intake of chemicals volatilizing  from water, are
 important  and  can be  quantified, those  intakes should be included and standard
 intake assumptions should be adjusted.

    The target  chronic daily intake  level represents total  oral exposure.
When drinking  water is the  only route  of oral exposure, then  the  above
 calculation  is  appropriate.  An added  complication arises in  cases where there
 is exposure  to  the same population through both drinking water  and fish
 consumption.    If the  contaminated  drinking water is  from a  different water
source than  the  fish  (i.e., ground water or a different surface water body),
apportion  the  target  oral intake between the two routes of  ingestion.   Use
Worksheet  8-8  for this apportionment and Worksheet 8-9 to calculate target
surface water  concentrations based on  intake via fish consumption.  The
illustrative apportionment  on Worksheet 8-8 assigns  equal chronic daily intake
to drinking water and fish  consumption.  It is important to note  that other
apportionments are possible, permitting some tradeoffs between  target concen-
trations for a drinking water source and surface water where  fish are caught.

    If exposure through drinking water and fish consumption originate from the
same surface water body, consider both intake routes simultaneously in
calculating target surface water concentrations.  No apportionment is required
because a single variable, the surface water concentration, controls the total
intake.  If there is simultaneous exposure to the population-at-risk via fish
consumption and drinking water ingestion, calculate the target surface water
concentration using the following equation:

       Target                      Target Chronic Daily Intake
    Surface Water =	•	—	———•——
    Concentration   |(Bioconcentration x  (Human Intake  J+ (Human Intake Factor
                    L    Factor)        Factor for Fish)J   for Drinking Water)

    Record the final target concentrations for each potential carcinogen on
Worksheet 8-10.  A separate worksheet should be completed for each target risk
                               -4       -7
level being assessed between 10   and 10  .  Usually three risk levels

should be assessed:  the primary target (10  ) and the extremes of the
                   -4-7
allowable range (10   and 10  ).  In Section 8.4, methods are described to
convert the target environmental concentrations calculated here to allowable
release rates of chemicals from the source.

    8.3.3  Summarize Data

    Several data collection and calculation tasks have been completed thus far
and now this information should be integrated to assist in the analysis and
refinement of remedial alternatives.  For each alternative, this involves
combining the data from Worksheets 8-3 through 8-10.  Worksheet 8-11 provides
a format for this data collection.
8.4  ESTIMATE TARGET RELEASE RATES

    Using environmental fate and transport models, target exposure point
concentrations from the previous section can be applied to calculate target
release rates at the identified sources of release for some remedial options.
For options such as capping, slurry walls, and excavation, using models to
calculate these releases is not a straightforward process.  For other options
such as pumping and treating, air stripping, and other point source treatment
options with graded effectiveness, this step can be used to calculate
allowable release races.  The estimated target chemical releases can
eventually be incorporated into the remedial design.  For example, the target
effluent discharge levels from a contaminated ground-water treatment plant can
be used to specify the treatment and removal efficiency of the facility.

    Estimation of release rates requires the use of environmental fate and
transport models.  A great deal of uncertainty is inherent in the use of
models, and it should be understood that the values generated by the models
represent "ball park" estimates rather than precise values.

    8.4.1  Predict Environmental Fate and  Transport

    Because the concentration of contaminants changes as substances move from
release sources to exposure points, environmental fate and transport must be

 assessed  to  project  allowable  releases.  Each  exposure pathway will have an
 identified medium  of interest  through  which  the  contaminant travels, such as,
 chemicals  released to the  subsurface that move through ground water to a well.

    For each potential carcinogen  moving through a specific transport medium,
 the output of  this step will be  a  target release from the source, based on
 public health  considerations at  each exposure  point.  Using the pathways
 already identified for each chemical,  systematically consider the extent of
 chemical  fate  and  transport in each environmental medium.  By doing so, the
 predominant  mechanisms of  chemical transport,  transfer, and transformation can
 be considered  and  less significant processes disregarded.

    Refer  to the Superfund Exposure Assessment Manual for details on modeling
 environmental  fate and transport for air, ground water, and surface water.
 Remember,,  in developing design criteria, you will be using "C", the
 concentration,  to  solve for "R", the release rate of a substance (mass/time).
 Some of the  packaged computer  models cannot be used for this because the
 software  is  designed only  to determine concentration.  Examine the chosen
 model carefully to ensure  that it  will work in this case.  Otherwise, you may
 have to determine  the release  rate iteratively.  That is, one could
 arbitrarily  select a release rate  and  solve for  concentration, repeating this
 step until the  correct exposure point  concentration is determined.   The
 'release rates  calculated in this process can be  used as design goals for the
 remedial alternatives of interest.

    8.4.2  Summarize  Data

    Use Worksheet  8-12 to  present  the  average  allowable release rates for each
 chemical and each  source modeled for each remedial alternatives.
8.5  ASSESS CHRONIC RISK FOR NONCARCINOGENS

    Now that  remedial  alternatives have been considered to reduce estimated
carcinogenic  risk to acceptable target levels, each alternative must be
checked to ensure that it reduces noncarcinogenic risk to acceptable levels.
This is done  similarly to the quantitative analysis for noncarcinogens for the
no-action alternative  (Chapters 3 through 7).

    Release sources and exposure routes for each remedial alternative have
already been  determined on Worksheets 8-1 and 8-2.  Significant exposure
points for each alternative have also been determined on Worksheet 8-3.
Contaminant releases should be obtained or estimated from the remedial design
specifications.  These are then converted to environmental concentrations
using chemical fate and transport models as described in Section 4.2.  Human
inta'kes for the environmental concentrations are calculated as described in
Chapter 5.  Worksheet 8-13 should be used to summarize the release and
exposure data.

    A Chronic Hazard Index should be calculated, as described in Section 7.1,
to determine  risk from noncarcinogens.  Assessment of short-term risks is
discussed in  the next section.  Remember, the equation for the Hazard Index
is, for this  situation:

                                  -133-
        HI = CDI1/AIC1 + CDI2/AIC2 + ... CDI^AIC..

        where GDI. = Chronic daily intake for the i   toxicant

              AIC. = Acceptable intake for chronic exposure for the i

                     toxicant (noncarcinogenic effects only).

Again, if the Hazard Index is less than one, no adverse effects are expected.
If the value is near or greater than unity, the toxicants should be considered
separately, according to the health endpoints they produce.  If unity is
exceeded for any health endpoint, consider revising the design to reduce  the
risk from noncarcinogens to a lower level.  Worksheet 8-14 should be used to
summarize the intake and toxicity information used to calculate the
noncarcinogenic risk.  Worksheets from Chapters 4 and 5 may be useful to
organize this information.


8.6  ASSESS POTENTIAL SHORT-TERM HEALTH EFFECTS  OF REMEDIAL
     ALTERNATIVES

    After remedial alternatives have been analyzed for chemical risks,  the
potential short-term public health effects of each alternative should be
considered.  Short-term health risks should not be used as a selection
criterion for remedial alternatives, but should be used to determine
appropriate management practices during implementation of the  remedial
action.  In other words, if predicted short-term concentrations are likely to
exceed short-term toxicity thresholds in the process of constructing or
implementing a remedial alternative, certain management practices should  be
employed to reduce the potential risks.  For example, a remedial option at a
site may involve excavating and removing contaminated soil.  In the absence of
precautionary measures, fugitive dust generation by heavy equipment and
remedial activities may create a short-term health hazard.   These and other
temporary sources of chemical release associated with construction and
implementation of a remedy are not grounds for rejecting the remedial
alternative.  However, management practices, such as the temporary relocation
of potentially exposed populations, should be considered to mitigate the
health risks associated with temporary sources of release.

    Data on acceptable short-term exposures are often difficult to obtain, and
a qualitative analysis of short-term health effects from remedial actions may
be all that is possible.  Also remember that the remedial action itself,  in
addition to the initial implementation of an action, may increase short-term
exposure at a site.  For example, a pump and treat alternative for
ground-water contamination may increase the concentration of volatiles in the
air near a site until the clean-up at the site is completed, which could  be
several years.

    Public health evaluation of short-term effects is similar  to the preceding
evaluation for chronic noncarcinogenic effects.  However, because new
exposures are possible, the exposure assessment must be reviewed.  Review *
Section 4.2 to assist in identifying possible human exposure points and in
characterizing sensitive human populations.  Exhibit 8-3 lists some common
types of release sources at sites during remedial action.  Worksheet 8-15
should be completed to document potential short-term exposure pathways.
                                 October 1986   * * *

     Environmental concentrations of the indicator chemicals  at the site for
 the potential exposures must now be determined.   Review Section 4.2 for the
 details of this process.  Releases of chemicals  will probably have to be
 estimated.  Use any technical information available to generate a best
 approximation.   Environmental fate and transport should be modeled from the
 release to obtain environmental concentrations.   Intakes are calculated from
 the environmental concentration.  Review Chapter 5 for the details of this
 process.

     Short-term chemical concentrations are compared to the AIS, the acceptable
 intake of contaminants for subchronic exposures, to assess health risk.   A
 Hazard Index should be calculated, as described  in Section 7.1.  Use Worksheet
 8-16 to assess the short-term noncarcinogenic risk.  If noncarcinogenic risk
 exceeds unity,  management practices to mitigate  or eliminate releases must  be
 devised..

                 •it          if          *          *          *

     In this chapter,  information from the baseline public health evaluation
 has been used as input to the analysis and refinement of remedial
.alternatives.  For source control measures,  best engineering judgment and
 applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements were used to refine
 remedial alternatives.  For management of migration alternatives, applicable
 or  relevant and appropriate requirements and health-based performance goals
 for potential carcinogens were used as inputs to the design  process.
.Predicted exposure levels for noncarcinogens were checked to ensure that they
 would not be above their thresholds of safety.   Short-term effects of remedial
 alternatives were also considered.  All that remains to be done for the public
 health evaluation is  organizing this information for use by  the site
 decision-makers.

                                  CHAPTER 9

              SUMMARIZING THE PUBLIC  HEALTH  EVALUATION
    At this point in the public health evaluation process, the following
analyses have been completed:

        •   Assessment of the baseline health risks posed by a
            site, and

        •   Assessment of the proposed remedial alternatives based
            on applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements
            and, for management of migration alternatives and soil
            excavation procedures, health-based performance goals.

The results of the public health evaluation should be reported to site
decision-makers for consideration in the remedy selection proess.  For
fund-financed remedial investigations/feasibility studies, this  reporting
requirement will  typically be fulfilled  by a public  health  evaluation chapter
in the feasibility study.   A separate handbook has  been distributed for
enforcement-lead sites; in general, the principles of public health evaluation
for those sites will be similar.

    This chapter provides guidance for summarizing and reporting the results
of a Superfund public health evaluation.  In general the report should provide
a rationale for the level of detail of the analysis, a description of each of
the steps discussed in Chapters 3 through 7, and a summary of the analysis of
remedial alternatives.  The worksheets listed in Exhibit 9-1 (or their
equivalent) should be a part of the public health evaluation report.25J
Individual toxicity profiles are very useful and may be developed to describe
potential effects of the indicator chemicals or other chemicals of concern.
Relevant toxicity profiles also can be included as part of the public health
evaluation report.

    It is important to note that the narrative component of all public health
evaluations plays a very important role.  The narrative should be used to
clearly explain the data used in the evaluation and the results of the
evaluation.  Recognizing that public health evaluation reports may be reviewed
by the public and especially by members of the exposed or potentially exposed
population, care must be taken to explain the major steps and the results of
the evaluation in -terms that are easily understood by the general public.

    In addition to the narrative report and worksheets, the two summary
exhibits described in this chapter (or their equivalent) should be included as
a key part of the quantitative analysis report:   Exhibit 9-2 for the baseline
evaluation and Exhibit 9-3 for remedial alternatives.   Both exhibits require
qualitative and quantitative information.  The qualitative entries are as
important as the numbers and, in some cases, perhaps more important;
consequently,  be sure to complete the columns accurately and completely.
    25J  Other worksheets from Chapters 3 through 8 may be included as an
appendix to the feasibility study.

 9.1   SUMMARIZE THE BASELINE PUBLIC HEALTH EVALUATION

     Complete  Exhibit  9-2  to  provide  a summary table for the baseline public
 health  evaluation.  First, list  the  indicator chemicals from Worksheet 3-5
 which were  used  in  the  evaluation.   Then describe the significant exposure
 points  associated with  the site.   Describe where they are in relation to the
 site and how  exposure might  occur  there.  Next, discuss the exposure pathway
 qualitatively.   List  the  release source, the transport media (e.g., ground
 water,  surface water, air),  and  exposure routes (e.g., oral, inhalation,
 dermal) for each significant exposure point.  The exposure pathway summary
 should  be a combination of information from Worksheets 4-1 and 4-2.  Also,
 from Worksheet 4-2, record the number of people at each significant exposure
 point and describe  any  other important populations that are nearby.  For .
 example,, a  town  which draws  water  from a well down gradient from the point of
 maximum ground-water  exposure or a school near the peak air exposure point
 might be included.

     The next  major  topic  of  the  exhibit is a summary of ambient concentration
 requirements  that are relevant and appropriate or applicable to the site.  You
 should  list all  requirements  that were considered and compared to predicted
 ambient concentrations.   In  the next column, list any requirements that were
 violated.   For this column you should include the type of requirement (e.g.,
 Safe Drinking Water Act MCLs), the name of the chemicals which violated the
 requirements  (e.g., arsenic)  and the numerical value of the requirements
 (e.g.,  0.05 mg/1).  This  information can be found on Worksheet 4-5.

     Information  about carcinogenic 'risk will be summarized next.  First, enter
 the  total carcinogenic  risk  due  to all potential carcinogens.   This risk value
 can  be  found  on  Worksheet 7-3.   If possible include some measure of the
 reliability of this information  (e.g., 95% confidence level, standard
 deviation).   At  many  sites one, two, or three chemicals will be responsible
 for  most of the  risk  at the  site because of high toxicity, large projected
 releases, or  high concentrations.  List these especially important chemicals
 here.  The  weight-of-evidence rating, a qualitative scale based on the amount,
 relevance,  and quality of the toxicity data, should be .included.  This value
 can  be  found  in  Appendix  C or on Worksheet 3-2.

     Health  risk  due to noncarcinogens should be summarized in the next
 section.  From Worksheet  7-2, list the chronic hazard index calculated for all
 noncarcinogens.  If the index exceeds unity and was recalculated for each
 health endpoint, that information should be included.   For noncarcinogens,  as
 for  carcinogens, one  or two  chemicals may dominate the risks.   This (or these)
 chemical(s) should be listed  along with their severity rating,  a qualitative
 scale indicating the  severity of their health endpoint (the severity rating
 scale is given in Exhibit D-l).  Also, list the subchronic hazard index
 calculated  for short-term exposures  for all indicator noncarcinogens.   This
 index can be  found on Worksheet 7-1.  Subchronic hazards may require
 qualitative description.

     Sources of uncertainty,  such as data gaps,  incomplete toxicity
 information,  sample variation, and uncertainty contributed by modeling, that
were encountered in a particular assessment should be discussed briefly.  If
 ranges of uncertainty or confidence  levels for particular circumstances are

explain assumptions, difficulties, results, or conclusions relating to the
assessment should be written in the final column.                                     ji

    Organoleptic (taste and odor) thresholds should be included if they are
known because they may affect consumption.  Background concentration may be           I"
important for some sites.  Timing of exposures should also be noted if it can         J
be determined.
9.2  SUMMARIZE  ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
                                                                                      f
    Exhibit 9-3 provides a format for a table to summarize remedial                    I
alternatives.  For each site, relevant information should be provided for all          •
remedial alternatives being considered and should include alternatives                  <
                                        -4      -7                                     F
spanning a carcinogenic risk range of 10   to 10  .   Several remedies                  I
under consideration for a site can be included on a single summary table as            *
long as they correspond to the same risk level.

    Describe the remedial action under consideration in the first column of            [
Exhibit 9-3.  This action might be excavation, removal, a pump-and-treat
remedy, or air stripping.  Next, qualitatively summarize the significant               r
potential exposures pathways.  The exposure pathways might be an air release           I
from air stripping towers or migration of contaminated ground water.  Sources
of contaminants, the transport media and routes, possible exposure points,
timing and amount of releases should be included.  The exposure pathway column         T
should be a synthesis of information appearing in Worksheets 8-1, 8-2, 8-3,            I
and 8-11.

    The indicator chemicals used in the assessment of a particular remedy              I
should be listed in the next column.  Any applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements should also be listed.  Include both the identity of
the requirement and its numerical value in this column.  Next to this, list
target concentrations for potentially carcinogenic indicator chemicals.
Values for each chemical and each transport medium of concern have been
summarized on Worksheet 8-10 and should be recorded here also.  In the next
column, list the individual target risks due to each potential carcinogen.
These target risks were the bases for the calculated target concentrations in
the previous column.  The target risk column should display how carcinogenic
risk has been apportioned among the chemicals at the site, as determined on
Worksheet 8-10.

    Noncarcinogenic risk should be summarized in the next column.  Results of
the chronic hazard index calculation should be included and risks from each
remedial alternative should be described.  If no risks are expected, that
should be noted also.  Information on noncarcinogenic risks can be found on
Worksheets 8-13 and 8-14.  Short-term risks should also be qualitatively
described.  Identify each and briefly discuss how they can be managed at the
site.  These risks were identified on Worksheet 8-16.

    The possible effects and public health consequences of remedy failure,
discussed in Section 8.9, should be summarized in the next column.  Any
information concerning the significant sources of uncertainty involved in the
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

calculations, assumptions, or data inputs for the performance goals portion of
the risk assessment should be discussed next.  Comments about assumptions,
difficulties, results, and conclusions should be written in the final column.

    The process of public health evaluation is complete when all remedies
under consideration, including the no-action alternative, have been
summarized.  Site decision-makers can use this information along with other
elements of the feasibility study (e.g. engineering reliability of
alternatives, life-cycle costs, and cost-effectiveness) in the selection of a
remedial alternative.

               STC         Short-term  Concentration.  The projected chemical
                           concentration  in  an exposure medium averaged over a short
                           time period (10 to 90 days).  The peak STC (i.e., highest
                           one projected  over the entire evaluation period, usually
                           70 years) is used for subchronic risk characterization.
                           Unless  otherwise  stated, the STC refers to a best
                           estimate concentration value, not an upper bound estimate.

               LTC         Long-term Concentration.  The projected chemical
                           concentration  at  an exposure point averaged over a long
                           time period, up to 70 years (assumed to be a human
                           lifetime).  The LTC for the 70-year period beginning with
                           the date of the RI/FS is used for carcinogenic risk
                           characterization.  Unless otherwise stated, the LTC
                           refers  to a best  estimate concentration value, not an
                           upper bound estimate.

               SDI         Subchronic  Daily  Intake.  The projected human intake of
                           a  chemical  averaged over a short time period, expressed
                           as mg/kg/day.  The SDI is calculated by multiplying peak
                           STC by  human intake and body weight factors and is used
                           for subchronic risk characterization.

               GDI         Chronic Daily  Intake.  The projected human intake of a
                           chemical averaged over a long time period, up to 70
                           years,  and  expressed as mg/kg/day.  The GDI is calculated
                           by multiplying LTC by human intake and body weight
                           factors and is used for chronic risk characterization.

               AIS         Acceptable  Intake for Subchronic Exposure.  The highest
                           human intake of a chemical, expressed as mg/kg/day, that
                           does  not cause adverse effects when exposure is
                           short-term  (but not acute).  The AIS is usually based on
                           subchronic  animal studies.

               AIC         Acceptable  Intake for Chronic Exposure.  The highest
                           human intake of a chemical, expressed as tng/kg/day, that
                           does  not cause adverse effects when exposure is long-term
                           (lifetime).  The  AIC is usually based on chronic animal
                           studies.

                              APPENDIX C

              SUMMARY TABLES FOR  CHEMICAL-SPECIFIC DATA



    Appendix C contains the following six  summary data tables:

         •   Exhibit C-l:  Physical, Chemical, and Fate Data
         •   Exhibit C-2:  Half-Lives in Various Media
         •   Exhibit C-3:  Toxicity Data for Potential Carcinogenic Effects
                            -- Selection of Indicator Chemicals Only
         •   Exhibit C-4:  Toxicity Data for Potential Carcinogenic Effects
                            -- Risk Characterization
         •   Exhibit C-5:  Toxicity Data for Noncarcinogenic Effects --
                            Selection of Indicator Chemicals Only
         •   Exhibit C-6:  Toxicity Data for Noncarcinogenic Effects -- Risk
                            Characterization

    These tables summarize key quantitative parameters for more than 300
chemicals or chemical groups that were evaluated as part of the Superfund
reportable quantity (RQ) adjustment process or the intra-agency reference dose
(RfD) review process.  These specific chemicals are included because of the
amounts  of readily available toxicity information.  This list should not be
interpreted as a complete list of chemicals of concern at Superfund sites.
Other substances may be important at certain sites.  However, this appendix
covers many toxic chemicals commonly detected at Superfund sites.

    Chemical-specific parameters listed in the tables are primarily those
referred to in this manual, although a limited amount of other useful
information (e.g., CAS number, molecular weight) is also provided.   Values for
physical, chemical, and fate parameters given in Exhibits C-l and C-2 are
provided for the convenience of the user and have not been fully peer reviewed
within EPA.  Conversely, values given in Exhibits C-4 and C-6 for acceptable
intake level and/or carcinogenic potency have been reviewed within EPA and
should generally be used in the public health evaluation process at Superfund
sites.   The sources of values and data transformation procedures, if any, are
described in the following sections.

    In addition to the six data summary tables described above, a list of
chemicals for which EPA Health Effects Assessment documents are available is
provided in Exhibit C-7.


C.I   EXHIBIT C-l:  PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND  FATE DATA

    The physical, chemical, and fate data shown in Exhibit C-l were either
recorded directly from standard secondary references or were derived based on
information contained in such references.   A general hierarchy of sources was
established, and values were taken from sources in order of the hierarchy.
The hierarchy was ordered with documents developed specifically for the
Superfund program at the top, followed by other relevant EPA data
compilations,  and then general reference texts at the bottom.  In general,
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

-------
                                   C-2
succeeding references were used only when a value could not be obtained from a
reference higher in the hierarchy.  Priority was given to more recent sources,
and measured values were chosen over estimated values even if obtained from a
source lower on the hierarchy.  The hierarchy of sources used to select values
for Exhibit C-l is shown below and is lettered to correspond with the sources
referenced in the exhibit.  More complete reference information for each of
these sources is in the reference list for Appendix C.  A brief description of
the derivation of values for each parameter in Exhibit C-l follows the
hierarchy listed below.

        A)  ECAO, EPA, Health Effects Assessments, 1985
        B)  Jaber et al. , 1984
        C)  Mabey et al., 1982
        D)  Callahan et al., 1979
        E)  ORD, EPA, 1981
        F)  Dawson et al., 1980
        G)  Lyman et aj.., 1982
        H)  OWRS, EPA, 1980
        I)  Weast et al., 1979
        J)  Verschueren, 1983
        K)  Vindholz et al., 1976
        L)  Perry and Chilton, 1973
        M)  OSW, EPA, 1984b
        N)  OSW, EPA, 1984a

    Water Solubility is the maximum concentration of a chemical that
dissolves in pure water at a specific temperature and pH.  It is a critical
property affecting environmental fate and transport.  Values for water
solubility, in mg/1, were recorded in Exhibit C-l directly using the hierarchy
of sources and general decision rules outlined above.  Values are given for a
neutral pH and a temperature range of 20 to 30°C.  Chemicals listed in the
literature as being "infinitely soluble"  were assigned a solubility value of
1,000,000 mg/1.

    Vapor Pressure is a relative measure of the volatility of a chemical in
its pure state and is an important determinant of the rate of vaporization
from waste sites.  Values for this parameter, in units mm Hg, were recorded
directly from the hierarchy of sources described above.  Values are given for

a temperature range of 20 to 30° C.

    Henry's Law Constant is another parameter important in evaluating air
exposure pathways.  Values for Henry's Law Constant (H) were calculated using
the following equation and the values previously recorded for solubility,
vapor pressure, and molecular weight:

    H(atm-m /mole) = Vapor Pressure (atm) x Mole Weight  (g/mole)

                            Water Solubility (g/m )

    Organic Carbon Partition Coefficient (Koc) is a measure of the tendency
for organics to be adsorbed by soil and sediment and is expressed as:

        Koc = mg chemical adsorbed/kg organic carbon
              mg chemical dissolved/liter of solution
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

-------
                                    C-3
 The Koc is  chemical  specific and is  largely  independent of soil properties.
 Most Koc values  in Exhibit  C-l  were  recorded directly from the above hierarchy
 of sources.   However,  some  Koc  values were estimated using methods specified
 in Lyman (1982).   Estimated values are  clearly designated as such.

     Octanol-Water Partition Coefficient (Kow) is a measure of how a chemical
 is distributed at equilibrium between octanol and water.  Although Kow is not '
 directly referenced  in the  text of this manual, it is an important parameter
 and is  used often in the  assessment  of  environmental fate and transport for
 organic chemicals.   Additionally, Kow is a key variable used in the estimation
 of other properties.   For the convenience of the user, values for log Kow have
 been included in  Exhibit  C-l.   These values  were recorded directly from the
 hierarchy of sources  referenced above.

     Bioconcentration Factor as  used  in  this  manual is a measure of the
 tendency for a chemical contaminant  in  water to accumulate in fish tissue.
 The equilibrium  concentration of a contaminant in fish can be estimated by
 multiplying the concentration of the chemical in surface water by the fish
 bioconcentration  factor for that chemical.   This parameter is therefore an
 important determinant  for human intakes via  the aquatic food ingestion route.
 Values  for  bioconcentration factors  shown in Exhibit C-l were recorded
.directly from the above hierarchy of sources.


 C.2  EXHIBIT C-2:   HALF-LIVES IN VARIOUS MEDIA

     Chemical Half-Lives are used in  this manual as measures of persistence,
 or how  long a chemical will remain,  in  various environmental media.   Exhibit
 C-2 presents values  for overall half-lives,  which are the result of all
 removal processes (e.g.,  phase  transfer,  chemical transformation, and
 biological  transformation)  acting together rather than a single removal
 mechanism.   All of the half-life values in Exhibit C-2 were recorded directly
 from two sources,  ECAO Health Effects Assessments (ECAO, 1985) and exposure
 profiles for the  RCRA  Risk-Cost Analysis Model (OSW, 1984b).  The same source
 lettering convention was  followed for Exhibit C-2 as for Exhibit C-l.


 C.3  EXHIBIT C-3:   TOXICITY DATA  FOR  POTENTIAL CARCINOGENIC
      EFFECTS --  SELECTION OF INDICATOR CHEMICALS ONLY

     For the  risk  assessment process  outlined in this manual, data presented in
 Exhibit C-3  are used only in the selection of indicator chemicals and 'not in
 actual  risk  characterization.   These data were obtained from information
 contained in the  Reportable Quantity (RQ) data base (OHEA, 1986).  The
 procedures used to convert  source data  to the values given in Exhibit C-3 are
 described briefly below.

     The 10%  Effective  Dose  (ED  fl) represents the dose at which a 10 percent

 incremental  carcinogenic  response is observed.  This parameter was calculated
 for both oral and inhalation routes  by  taking the reciprocal of the Potency
 Factor  Estimate (PFE)  given in  the RQ data base (this source defines PFE =
 I/ED ;  therefore, ED  0 = 1/PFE).  The  ED   is in units of mg/kg/day.
                         * * *   October 1986   * * *

                                   C-4
    Toxicity Constants vary for different exposure media.  As such, Exhibit
C-3 contains toxicity constant values  specific to water  (wTc) and soil  (sTc)
for the oral route, and a value for air (aTc)  for the  inhalation route.  Each
of these constants for potential carcinogens  is based  on the ED1Q, standard

intake assumptions for the respective  media,  and a standard body weight.  The
specific equations and assumptions used to calculate the various toxicity
constants are presented and discussed  in further detail  in Appendix D.


C.4  EXHIBIT C-4:  TOXICITY DATA  FOR POTENTIAL  CARCINOGENIC
     EFFECTS --  RISK  CHARACTERIZATION

    Data presented in Exhibit C-4 are  for use  in risk  characterization, as
opposed to the selection of indicator  chemicals.  Values in this exhibit were
derived in the following manner.

    Carcinogenic Potency Factors are upper 95  percent  confidence limits on the
slope of the dose-response curve.  These values were recorded directly  from
HEAs or CAG summary tables, with the actual  source cited in the exhibit for
each value and then fully referenced at the  end of the exhibit.  Potency
factors are used to estimate potential  carcinogenic risk.  These factors,
specific to different exposure routes,  are given in Exhibit C-4 in units of

(nig/kg/day)  .

    Weight of Evidence ratings qualify the level of evidence that supports
designating a chemical as a human carcinogen.   Exhibit C-4 lists ratings based
on EPA categories  for potential carcinogens, which are fully itemized in
Exhibit D-2.  The  ratings were recorded directly from  the RQ data base.
(Note:   Weight-of-evidence ratings are also  used in the procedure for
selecting' indicator chemicals.)


C.5  EXHIBIT C-5:  TOXICITY DATA  FOR NONCARCINOGENIC  EFFECTS --
     SELECTION OF INDICATOR CHEMICALS ONLY

    The data in Exhibit C-5 were generated based on information contained in
the RQ data base for chronic effects (ECAO,  1984).  Values for the parameters
in Exhibit C-5, which are used in the  selection of indicator chemicals  but not
in risk characterization, were derived in the  following manner.  In addition,
chemicals marked in Exhibit C-5 with "@" also  exhibit  potential carcinogenic
effects.  The reader is referred to Exhibits  C-3 and C-4 for information
concerning these effects.

    To determine the human Minimum Effective  Dose (MED), the RQ data base was
reviewed to identify the studies with  the highest composite score (a score
that combines MED  and severity of effect) for  oral and for inhalation exposure
routes.  These MEDs were recorded under the  appropriate  exposure route  in
Exhibit C-5.  If composite score values were  reported  to be equal, the  study
that yielded the lowest MED was used.   For metals, one MED value was derived
from all studies for the various compounds of  a given  metal.  Human MED values
are expressed in Exhibit C-5 in terms  of mg/day.  If an MED was available for
only one exposure  route, it was recorded in  Exhibit C-5  for the other exposure
routes without modification unless the toxic  effect was at the site of  entry.

    Severity of Effect Ratings, or RVe's, were recorded from the RQ data base
for the same study used to determine MED values.   These rating constants are
unitless integers ranging from 1 to 10, corresponding to various levels  of
severity of effects.  The severity scale is presented in Exhibit D-l.

    Toxicity Constants for noncarcinogenic effects,  like those for
carcinogens, are specific to water, soil, and air and are designated in
Exhibit C-5 as wTn, sTn, and aTn, respectively.   Again,  these toxicity
constants are used only in the indicator chemical selection step of the
process.  Values in Exhibit C-5 are based on standard intake assumptions as
well as a chemical's RVe and MED values.  Refer  to Appendix D for the  specific
toxicity constant equations and for a discussion on their application.


C.6    EXHIBIT C-6:  TOXICITY DATA FOR  NONCARCINOGENIC
      EFFECTS --  RISK  CHARACTERIZATION

    Exhibit C-6 gives values for parameters that  are used in actual risk
characterization.  The methods used to derive these values are described
below.  Although the data in Exhibit C-6 are for  noncarcinogenic effects,
several of the chemicals listed in the exhibit (those marked with an "(§")  also
exhibit potential carcinogenic effects.  Exhibits C-3 and C-4 should be
referred to for information concerning carcinogenic effects.

    Subchronic acceptable intake (AIS) values are short-term acceptable
intake levels and are recorded directly from the  appropriate HEA.   Likewise,
values for chronic acceptable intake (AIC), which is the long-term acceptable
intake level for noncarcinogenic effects, were recorded  directly from  the
appropriate HEA or from compilations of Agency-verified  reference dose (RfD)
values.  These verified reference doses were developed by an EPA work  group
chaired by the Office of Research and Development in 1985 and 1986.  The
actual source used for each value is cited in Exhibit C-6 and is referenced
fully at the end of the exhibit.   AIS and AIC are used to characterize risks
of noncarcinogenic effects.   Both AIS and AIC values are in units of mg/kg/day.

       RfD = Agency-wide reference dose value,  developed  by an  inter-office  work  group
       chaired by the Office of Research and Development,  U.S.  EPA,  Washington, D.C.,
       1986.

       and Assessment Office, U.S. EPA, Cincinnati,  Ohio,  1985  (updated in  May  1986).

    JJ The RfD values listed here are EPA-verified numbers.   All  RfD values were
derived based on oral exposure; however, in the absence  of other  more specific  data,
these values may also be useful in assessing risks of inhalation  exposure.

    *J T indicates that teratogenic or fetotoxic effects are  the  basis for  the  AIS
value listed.

                                 APPENDIX D

            DETAILED  PROCEDURES  FOR  DETERMINING TOXICITY
             CONSTANTS  FOR  INDICATOR CHEMICAL SELECTION
    The method  for selecting  indicator chemicals for a site, described in
Chapter 3 of  this manual, requires the determination of toxicity constants
(T).  For many  chemicals, these values are given in Appendix C.   This appendix
(Appendix D)  presents methods for calculating toxicity constants for chemicals
not listed  in Appendix C.  If, in the process of preparing a public health
evaluation  for  a site, such chemicals are found, you should request help from
EPA headquarters before doing these calculations.  As new information becomes
available or  new chemicals are identified as problems, the list  in Appendix C
will be updated and expanded.

    Toxicity  constants, T, are medium-specific.  A toxicity constant for use
                                                     w
with drinking water concentrations is referred to as  T,  whereas one for

concentrations  in air is  T, and and one for concentrations in soil is

 T.  Toxicity constants for potential carcinogens are based on the
ED nlj; for noncarcinogens they are based on the minimum effective dose

(MED) and a severity of effects rating.  All toxicity constants  also have
standard intake assumptions built in.  Units of toxicity constants are the
inverse of  concentration units.

    Values of  T,  T, and  T for a variety of compounds are given in
Appendix C.   In the event that values are not present in Appendix C, they can
be calculated as follows:

    Potential Carcinogens

        w     2 liters drinking water/day
         Tc = 	                                   [1]

        s            0.0001 kg soil/day

where RVe is a  rating value based on the severity of effect and scored as
indicated in Exhibit D-l,  and.MED is the human minimum effective dose in
rag/day for a given effect.  If the MED is given in mg/kg/day, multiply it by
70 and then substitute it  into the above equation.

    The soil toxicity constant (ST) is incorporated as a way to estimate the
overall exposure that might be contributed by contaminated soil.  Inclusion of

 T in the indicator selection process is a way to use the soil concentration
data gathered in most site characterizations, in part so that compounds found
in soil and not in air and water could be considered in indicator compound

scoring.  The  T equation  is based on a child's consumption of contaminated
soil as detailed in a recent ORD risk assessment of contaminated soil (EPA,
1984).

    The ORD document estimates that children between the ages of two and six
consume at least 100 mg of soil per day, and that in situations of direct
ingestion of soil (i.e., pica) the rate could go as high as 5 g per day.  The
lower value was selected for this procedure because it was more comparable to
the standard consumption values used in calculating the other T values.  The 5
g per day value is representative of a pathologic state (pica), and using it

to calculate  T would correspond to assuming 8 liters or more as the daily
consumption of water (to reflect the diabetic who consumes 8 liters of water
per day).

    Although Equations 2 and 5 are based on ingestion by a child, the intake
is not normalized to an equivalent lifetime intake.  The equations use an
intake rate during childhood rather than an lifetime average daily intake to
ensure that compounds are  identified on the basis of their potential to harm a
child.  Thus, the equations compare a child's dally intake rate to a lifetime
average daily intake (expressed as an MED or an ED  ), which, strictly

speaking, may be inappropriate.  Unfortunately, the most appropriate data to
use,  dose-response information for children, do not exist, and even data for
dose-response relationships in immature animals are rare.   What little

information is available seems to indicate that the young are generally more
sensitive to the toxic effects of chemicals than adults.   Although this
approach is not strictly accurate it errs on the more protective side,  while
at the same time achieving the goal of being a simple way to incorporate soil
concentration information into the indicator selection process.

    Although not used directly in the calculation of indicator scores for
potential carcinogens, a qualitative weight-of-evidence rating is considered
in the final selection of indicators.  The EPA weight-of-evidence criteria
(EPA, 1986) are given in Exhibit D-2 and should be used to categorize
potential carcinogens not listed in Appendix C.  The EPA approach for
determining weight of evidence is similar to the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) approach, differing primarily by having an
additional category for "no evidence of carcinogenicity in humans" and revised
criteria for defining evidence as "sufficient", "limited", or "inadequate."

       THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION  AGENCY
 1.   PURPOSE

      The  Agency  for  Toxic  Substances  and  Disease  Registry
 (ATSDR) and  the  Environmental  Protection  Agency  (EPA)  agree
 that  guidance  is  required  to define and coordinate  joint and
 respective responsibilities under  the  Comprehensive  Environ-
 mental Response,  Compensation,  and Liability Act  (Public Law
 96-510, 94 Stat.  2796,  42  USC  9601 et  seq;  CERCLA),  Executive
 Order  12316  (Responses  to  Environmental Damage),  and the
 National  Oil and  Hazardous Substances  Contingency Plan  (NCP;
 40 CFR Part  300).  This  Memorandum of  Understanding  (MOU)
 establishes  oolicies  and procedures for conducting  response
 and  non-response  health  activities related  to  releases  of
 hazardous substances.

 2.   AUTHORITY

      CERCLA  section  104  authorizes the President  to  respond
 to releases  or substantial threats of  releases into  the
 environment  of hazardous substances and certain releases of
 pollutants or contaminants.  CERCLA also  establishes the
 Hazardous Substance  Response Trust Fund.  CERCLA  section 104(i)
 authorizes ATSDR  (part of  the Department  of Health and  Human
 Services  (HHS)) to effectuate and  implement specific health-
 related activities with  the cooperation of  EPA and other agencies
 Executive Order 12316 further delegates to  the Secretary- of
 HHS certain  investigatory  authorities  vested in the  President
 under CERCLA section  104 for conducting activities with the
cooperation of other  agencies,  relating to  illness,  disease or
complaints thereof.   Executive  Order  12316  delegates  to EPA
 the primary  resoonse  authority  under CERCLA section  104
 relating to  release or extent of release  of hazardous sub-
stances,  pollutants,  or  contaminants,  and determination of
 the presence of an imminent and substantial danger to the
public health or welfare or the environment.  Exceptions to
this authority include responses to releases from Department
of Defense (DOD) facilities or  vessels (delegated to  DOD) and
 releases involving the coastal  zone, Great  Lakes waters,
ports, and harbors (delegated to the U.S. Coast Guard).

  3.   SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES

      This  MOU covers  the  coordination  of  health-related
 activities by ATSDR and  EPA as  authorized bv CERCLA and
 delegated  by  Executive Order 12^16.   ATSDR has  statutory
 responsibilities  under CERCLA and Executive Order  12316  for
 activities related  to illness,  disease,  or complaints  thereof,
 for  disease registries and  other responsibilities  related  to
 response actions.   EPA has  statutory authority  under CERCLA
 and  Executive Order 12316 for activities  related  to release
 or  threat  of  release  of  hazardous substances, pollutants or
 contaminants, and  for determination  of the extent  of .danger
 to  public  health,  welfare or the environment, as  well  as,
 other responsibilities related  to response actions.

      ATSDR and EPA  will  carry out their  responsibilities
 according  to  CERCLA,  Executive  Order 12316, the NCP, and
'this MOU.   ATSDR's  major  responsibility  will be the
 evaluation of populations with  current or potential exposure
 to  waste sites, development of  health  advisories,  and  the
 follow up  on  populations  for the evaluation of  future  health
 effects.   EPA's major responsibility in  the health area will
.be  risk assessment  and risk management as defined  herein.
 Health advisories  will be based on ATSDR's evaluations of
 current health effects and  will adapt  EPA's risk  assessments
 at  a site  or  sites.  ATSDR  will not  perform risk  assessments
 as  defined herein,  using  the funds made  available  from the
 Hazardous  Substances  Response Trust  Fund.  If  risk assessments
 are  not available ATSDR  will consult EPA on a case-by-case
 basis. ATSDR will  conduct  some of  its activities  through
 interagency agreements with other participating agencies of
 the  Public Health  Service through cooperative agreements with
 State health  departments, and through  contractual  arrangements
 whenever appropriate. Such interagency  agreements include
 those with the Centers for  Disease Control to conduct  health
 studies and conduct research and provide  assistance on worker
 health and safety  issues; with  the Library of Medicine to
 establish  and maintain the  needed data bases on health'effects
 of  toxic substances;  and  with the National Toxicology  Program
 to conduct standard toxicological assays.

      Definitions  for  the  key terms used  in this section  follow;

      0 Health Consultation; Immediate  or short-term
        consultation  by ATSDR to provide  health advice and/or
        health effects information regarding a  specific  site.

      ° Health Assessment;   Initial  multi-disciplinary reviews
        by ATSDR of all  readily available data  to  evaluate

         the  nature and magnitude of any threat  to  human
         health at a site.   These evaluations  will  adapt
         EPA's  risk assessment for the characterization of
         potential health threats at a site  or sites,  and may
         include literature searches,  information summari-
         zation and evaluation of existing environmental data,
         pilot  samples, testing for food chain contamination,
         and  similar activities.

      0   Public Health  Advisory;   An advisory  issued by ATSDR
         based  on  the results  of  its health  assessment.

      0   Epidemiologic  Studies; Long-term epidemiologic study
         by ATSDR  involving a  comprehensive  protocol designed
         to add knowledge of the  health  effects  of  a specific
         substance or substances  at a site or  sites.

      0   Health Registry;   A site-specific or  adverse  health
         effects-specific registry  established and  maintained
         to track  specific  diseases and  illnesses and  long-
         term health  effects to persons  exposed  to  toxic
         substances.

      °   Pilot  Study:   A  preliminary or  short  term  medical,
         laboratory,  or epidemiologic study  on a limited human
         peculation to  decide  if  additional, large  scale
         studies are  warranted.   The study populations can
         include those  living  at, or near, a site and  those
         not residing at, or near,  a site (control  or  reference
         population).

    0    Risk Assessment;   A qualitative/quantitative  process
         conducted  by EPA to characterize the  nature and
         magnitude  of potential risks to public health from
         exposure  to  hazardous  substances, pollutants  or
         contaminants released  from specific sites.  This
         process consists of hazard  identification, dose-
         response  assessment,  exposure assessment,  and risk
         characterization and  supports EPA's risk management
         process.

    0    Risk Management;   The  process conducted by EPA to
         determine  the  nature  and extent of  remedy  for a site,
         including  alternative  selection.

    A.   Removal Actions

     Removal actions are Superfund response activities
involving the short-term cleanup or removal of released
hazardous substances that  pose an  immediate hazard.  These
actions generally  are  limited by CERCLA to $1 million in cost
and six months in.duration.

-------
                                             OSVER Directive 9285.4-1
                                -4-

     ATSDR activities in support of soecific  removal
actions  involve health consultations and health advisories.
In addition, ATSDR may monitor the health of  residents who
have been exposed to the hazardous substances or who live
near the release site.  ATSDR may also provide technical
assistance to EPA on matters of worker health and safety
during the removal and may provide community  relations
assistance to EPA.  ATSDR may become involved in removal
actions  through a variety of mechanisms and at various stages
of a removal action.  The On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) shall
recommend that ATSDR be called in at any time during the
removal  action, at the time that the criteria under Section
B.3 are  met, unless in the OSC's opinion there is no need for
further  public health input into the removal  action.  Altern-
atively, the recommendation for ATSDR involvement may be
initiated by ATSDR itself, the State, or the  EPA Regional
Administrator.

   " B.   Remedial Response

    Remedial actions are those response actions consistent
with a permanent remedy at a site.  Remedial  action is
preceded by detailed planning.  This section  discusses
coordination of ATSDR and EPA efforts during  the remedial
response process, which involves five major stages:

            0  Site discovery, preliminary
                  assessment, and site inspection;
            0  Site ranking and NPL listing;
            0  Remedial investigation (RI);
            0  Feasibility study (FS); and
            0  Remedial design and construction.

    The  roles of ATSDR and EPA during these stages are
discussed in the subsections below.

         B.I   Site Discovery, Preliminary Assessment, a-nd Site
              Inspection

    There are different methods for identifying sites for
potential remedial response under the Superfund program.
CERCLA section 103 requires certain parties to notify the
National Response Center when they have knowledge of a
release of a hazardous substance equal to or  in excess of the
reportable quantity for that substance.  Notification is
forwarded to EPA and the affected State.  In  addition to this
formal notification process, EPA may receive  notification of
a  potential or actual release from a local, State, or Federal
agency that discovers the release in the performance of its
responsibilities.  Following notification of  a potential or
actual release, EPA conducts a preliminary assessment of the
site to determine whether further investigation and Hazard
Ranking System (HRS) scoring is warranted.

     Site discovery, preliminary assessment, and site
 inspection are primarily the responsibility of EPA.  If
 ATSDR discovers a potential or actual release during the
 performance of its responsibilities, ATSDR will notify EPA
 of this release.  EPA may perform preliminary assessments and
 site inspections of such releases, as warranted, and will
 determine whether further investigation is necessary.

         B.2  Site Ranking and NPL Listing

     CERCLA section 105(8) reouires the President to develop
 criteria for determining priorities among releases or
 threatened releases of hazardous substances and, based upon
 those criteria, publish and amend the NPL.  Executive Order
 12316,  section l(c) delegates to EPA "[t]he responsibility
 for.  .  .all of the. . .functions vested in section 105" of
 CERCLA.

     Decisions regarding snecific site scoring and listing of
'sites on the NPL are the responsibility of EPA.   If ATSDR
 discovers any information about potential candidates for the
 NPL during the performance of its responsibilities, ATSDR
 will  submit that information to ^PA.   To facilitate this, EPA
 Keadouarters will notify ATSDR prior to each amendment of the
 NPL to  allow ATSDR to recommend sites to be considered for
 the NPL, and EPA will consider such recommendations, based upon
 the data used by ATSDR to make the recommendation, before
 publishing the amended NPL.   EPA may decide to rank sites
 identified by ATSDR,  retain  the site information on EPA files
 for future reference, or seek further information about such
 sites,  and will notify ATSDR of its decision.

         B.3  Remedial Investigation

     CERCLA section 104(b)  authorizes  the President to under-
 take  "such investigations, monitoring,  surveys,  testing, and
 other information gathering" necessary to "identify the
 existence and extent  of the  release or threat  thereof,  the
 source  and nature of  hazardous substances, pollutants or
 contaminants involved,  and the extent of danger  to public
 health  or welfare or  the environment."   Section  2(a) of
 Executive Order 12316 delegates to the Secretary of HHS in
 cooperation with  other agencies,  those functions of Section
 104(b)  "relating  to illness, disease,  or complaints thereof."
 HHS's responsibilities  are performed  by ATSDR.   Section 2(e)
 delegates to EPA  most of the remaining authorities under
 section  104,  including  those functions under section 104(b)
 listed  above  as they  relate  to the occurrence  or potential
 occurrence  of  a release.

    The  EPA Regional  Administrator,  or his designee, will
 determine  as  early as  possible  in  the  RI/FS process for a
 site  whether  concurrent  ATSDR involvement  in the RI/FS  is

-------
                                              OSWER Directive 9285.4-1
                                 -6-

 necessary.   In deciding  whether to request  concurrent  ATSDR
 involvement,  the Regional  Administrator,  or his  designee,
 will consider the following  criteria:

      0   Whether the presence of toxic substances  has  been
          confirmed at the  site;

      0   Whether pathways  of huma". exposure to toxic substances
          have been demonstrated to exist  at the  site,  especially
          if such pathways  involve direct  contact with  toxic
          substances; and
                                                     *
      0   Whether a human population has been exposed to toxic
          substances via  the  identified pathways, and whether
          there exists a  threat of current or future health
          effects to the  population being  so exposed, after
          considering EPVs risk assessments or health
          effects information from other sources.

 If these criteria are met, the EPA Regional Administrator, or
 his designee, shall request  concurrent ATSDR involvement,
 unless in his opinion there  is no need for  further public
 health input  into the RI/FS.  Alternatively, the recommendation
.for ATSDR involvement may  be initated  by  ATSDR itself,  or  the
 State.

      Elements of the remedial investigation in which ATSDR
 participates  may include review of site sampling plans and
 analysis protocols, site sampling, data analysis and interpre-
 tation,  worker health and  safety, community relations,  and the
 remedial investigation report.  The division'of  responsibilities
 and coordination between EPA and ATSDR in conducting these
 activities  is described  in the following  paragraphs.  EPA  and
 ATSDR will  agree to strict time schedules on a site-specific
 basis for all activities to  be performed  by ATSDR, to ensure
 that the response process  is not delayed.  Any changes in  the
 time schedule will be mutually aareed  upon  by EPA  and  ATSDR.

      Site Sampling.  Where EPA has requested concurrent ATSDR
 involvement,  ATSDR will  advise EPA during the preparation  of
 sampling and  analysis protocols to ensure collection of data
 useful to ATSDR for health assessments and  epidemiological
 studies.  EPA will be responsible for  the development  and
 conduct  of  any environmental and biological (other than
 human) sampling, and developing the tests therefor.  ATSDR
 will consult  with appropriate health agencies and  will summarize
 recommendations regarding  the necessity for testinq of human
.subjects.  If human subject  testing is determined  to be
 necessary,  ATSDR will be responsible for  any such  testing.
 EPA shall review the protocols or sampling  plans for such
 testing  to  ensure collection of data useful to EPA in  perform-
 ing subsequent risk assessment and risk management.

     Sampling  Protocol.  Where EPA has  reauested concurrent
ATSDR  involvement,  SPA and ATSDR will submit a draft of all
protocols to each other for  review prior to institution of
any site sampling or monitoring. Any changes in the sampling
protocols will also be provided to ATSDR for review.  With
regard to the  review of non-site soecific protocols, (e.g.,
protocols for  standard Contract Laboratory Program analysis)
EPA will provide these to ATSDR for review as early as possible
to avoid the necessity of ATSDR review of these protocols on
a site specific basis.

     Data Analysis and Interpretation.  At sites where EPA
has requested  concurrent ATSDR involvement, EPA will-provide
its data from  environmental, toxicological and other biolog-
ical sampling  and testing to ATSDR.  ATSDR will review all
available data for a site, including EPA's hazard identifi-
cation, dose-response assessment,  exposure assessment, and
risk characterization information, drawing conclusions about
any threats to public health associated with the site.  Based
on its interpretation of the site data, ATSDR will characterize
the health threats based on  its evaluation of current health
effects and in consultation with EPA concerning the magnitude
and timing of  potential future health effects.   ATSDR will
communicate all health concerns to regional EPA staff and
will provide copies of health assessments and advisories to
EPA.

    Worker Health and Safety.  EPA may request assistance
from ATSDR on  worker health and safety issues during a
remedial investigation, includina  consultation on the design
of worker health and safety plans  and monitoring of plan
implementation.  ATSDR will make arrangements for laboratory
and field testing related to worker health and safety and
worker surveillance.
    Community Relations.  ATSDR may provide, at EPA's request,
assistancein conducting community relations activities durina
the remedial investigation.  Such assistance may include:

     0  Preparation of technical and non-technical information
        material for the public describing human health threats
        posed by substances at a site;

     0  Reviewing and commenting on human health-related
        documents prepared and submitted by citizens
        (e.g.,  citizen-generated health survey protocols);
        Participation in public meetings,
        meetings, and workshops; and
small group
     0  Preparing responses to specific public inquiries
        regardinq human health impacts of site problems.

     Remedial Investigation Report.   At the  conclusion of the
 remedial investigation at sites where ATSDR is involved, EPA
 will send a copy of the remedial investigation report to ATSDR.
 ATSDR will review health-related data and interpretations of
 such data in the report and provide comments  to EPA within a
 mutually agreed upon time frame.

      If EPA and ATSDR agree that ATSDR involvement is not
 required at a site, ATSDR will not  participate in the remedial
 planning process at that site.  ATSDR may undertake other
 statutory activities, such as epidemiological studies or
 disease registries, at a site or sites.   ATSDR will coordinate
 all such activities with EPA and will advise  EPA of imminent
 threats to human health at any site and  at  any time during
 EPA's remedial process.  In addition, EPA may request ATSDR
 assistance in disseminating health  information to the public
 and in responding to health concerns of  local citizens.

'B.4 Feasibility Study

     EPA has the final authority for determining the extent
 of remedy at a site and selecting a specific  remedy during
 the feasibility study.  In conducting feasibility studies,
 EPA will develop, evaluate, and select remedial options  using
 the approach described in its feasibility study guidance.  For
 those sites where there has been concurrent ATSDR involvement,
 EPA staff will consult ATSDR for its assessment of any
 human health data (e.g., clinical,  epidemiologic) and EPA's
 risk assessment resulting from the  remedial investigation.
 EPA will be responsible for performing qualitative/quantitative
 risk assessments evaluating long-term risks to the public that
 may result from exposure to hazardous substances from Superfund
 sites.

      It is the responsibility of EPA (Office  of Solid Waste
 and Emergency Response) to incorporate the  results of the
 risk assessment process and of health assessments by ATSDR
 into risk management determinations of the  extent of remedy
 for a site.  The goal of this process is to ensure that_the
 remedial action is adequate with reqard  to  eliminating or
 mitigating the existing and future  public health threats.
 EPA may consider and incorporate applicable information
 provided by ATSDR on the current status  of  public health at
 the site into the selection of the  preferred  remedy.  At the
 discretion of the appropriate Regional Administrator, EPA
 staff may also consult with ATSDR staff  for any interpre-
 tation of human health data at sites where  ATSDR is not
 concurrently involved.  In addition, EPA may  request ATSDR
 assistance at any site in disseminating  health information to
 the public and in responding to health concerns of local
 citizens.   In the course of performing its  health activities,
 should ATSDR discover any site which, in its  opinion, poses

-------
                                              OSWER Directive 9285.4-1
                                 -9-

 an  imminent  threat  to public health,  ATSDR will immediately
 notify  the  relevant EPA Regional Office and EPA Headquarters
 of  this  finding.

     For  each  remedial response site where  ATSDR involvement
 is  reauested  ,  EPA  will provide ATSDR with a copy  of  the
 draft  feasibility study,  and where  appropriate  with  rough
 draft  sections  of the feasibility study relating  to  human
 health  and  interpretation,  prior to the public  comment  period
 if  possible.  ATSDR will  review the interpretation of the
 human  health  data in the  draft feasibility study  and  provide
 comments  to  EPA during  the  public comment  period.  ATSDR will
 also provide  to EPA any health information it possesses on
 the  site  during the public  comment  period

         B.5   Remedial Design and Construction

     The  design  and  construction of  the selected remedy  at
 Superfund sites' is  EPA's  responsibility.   The Regional
 Administrator may,  at his discretion,  request a health
 assessment from ATSDR with  regard to  certain elements of the
 remedial design.  At the  conclusion of the design  stage,
 EPA  should provide  advance  copies of  the Remedial  Design and
 Construction  Plans  to ATSDR whenever  possible if  they wish
 review and comment  by ATSDR.   ATSDR will notify EPA  if  the
 remedial design does not, in its opinion,  eliminate  or  miti-
 gate the public health  threat.

 C.   Cost Recovery

     Under CERCLA, EPA is  authorized to recover  from  responsible
 parties all government  costs incurred  during a  response
 action.  ATSDR  agrees  to  conform with  all  procedures  and
 requirements  for documenting costs  that are  to  be  recovered.

 D.   Funding

     All costs incurred  by ATSDR in  performing its  CERCLA
 responsibilities are funded  by  ATSDR  through funds provided
 for  this purpose.   Funding  for  ATSDR  activities performed
 under CERCLA  is from the  Hazardous  Substances Response  Trust
 Fund and is provided by EPA  through the budget  task  force
 required by Section  7 of  Executive  Order 12316  or  through
 seoarate interagency agreements  for specific health  studies.
 ATSDR will comply with  the  financial  and reporting requirements
 outlined in the Interagency  Agreements  that  transfer  Fund
monies to ATSDR.
