SUGGESTED USE OF THESE TABLES
The objective of the attached tables is to provide a
set of conservative guidelines for the evaluation of
sampling data at Superfund sites. They should be used in
developing screening level risk assessments in cases where
insufficient information has been gathered to warrant a more
rigorous assessment. The more rigorous assessment can be
carried out when an appropriate quantity and quality of data
have been collected.
The numbers in the tables are based upon the lowest
value from a combination of sources considered to be pro-
tective of the most sensitive organism in a medium. The
sources are peer reviewed literature, regulatory agency
criteria, and technical experts from federal agencies (e.g.,
Eisler, R. "Contaminant Hazard Reviews11, FWS) . The media
are the basic units of the habitat and are considered to be
fundamental to the well-being of the endemic ecological
populations.
M
Often too little data are gathered at Superfund sites
to determine a potential for risk to endemic populations at
a given site, as identified through the ecological charac-
terization. In the absence of this, the risk assessor can
decide to use either models and extrapolations from the
literature or a site-specific and conservative risk assess-
ment. These ta'bles are meant to serve as a basis for the
latter. The use of models and extrapolation is not sncou=
raged, due to limitations of assumptions and on-site veri-
fication and validation. *
Characterization of the media should provide sufficient
information for use by the risk assessor in developing the
assessment. For example, at a site that is paved or other-
wise covered and where soil samples show a high potential
for risk, the risk assessor's judgement should play the
major role. In such a case (described in the risk assess-
ment site conceptual model), it would be assumed that the
contamination is likely to be isolated from the ecological
receptors. It would be obvious that the potential for risk
is strongly mitigated by site conditions.
Another case may be in areas of high clay of the north-
eastern US where aluminum, iron, and magnesium are generally
found at rather high levels. Aluminum may be at injurious
levels, according to the tables. Where these three metals
are identified, the risk assessor can often use his judge-
ment and eliminate them from consideration in the assess-
ment. In this case, aluminum would be regarded as an art-
fact of soil.
On the other hand, aluminum could still be a contami-
-------

nant of concern if it is released from soils as a result of
physical disturbance or chemical contamination. For
example, a spill of highly concentrated acid could concei-
vably cause the soil to.release high quantities of aluminum.
In such cases, aluminum may, in the judgement of the risk
assessor, be a contaminant of concern.
In sum, site-specific information and conditions may
vary, dictating adjustment of the criteria used in the risk
assessment, but the values in the table can be used as a
starting point for any ecological risk assessment.
