Summary of Guide4.1 This guide provides a series of lists of data andinformation options for conducting an ecological risk assess-ment at a contamina

18、ted site and is organized in accordancewith the major components of the risk assessment process:problem formulation, exposure characterization, effects char-acterization, and risk characterization (1-4).3Lists are providedfor screening and complex ERAs.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide is signif

19、icant in that it addresses the data andinformation options of each component of the ecological riskassessment process, for both a screening and complex ERA. Itoutlines the data and information options while recognizingthat an ecological risk assessment may be focused to achieve aparticular stated go

20、al. This guide is not intended to representthe views of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA), or any other regulatory agency, on data collectionfor ecological risk assessment.5.2 This guide is to be used by managers, scientists, andtechnical staff of contractors, industry, government agen

21、cies,and universities responsible for conducting ecological riskassessments at contaminated sites. It is to be used to guide datacollection phases of the ecological risk assessment. It willassist in the development of the conceptual site model (seeGuide E 1689) and the identification of potential as

22、sessmentand measurement endpoints (see Guide E 1848). While it waswritten to assist in planning an ERA, the list also may be usedin the review of a completed ERA.6. General Guidance on Determining Data CollectionOptions for Ecological Risk Assessment6.1 It is imperative that the goals of the ERA are

23、 outlined atthe beginning of the ERA process. Data collection efforts maythen be focused to ensure a sound scientific approach andcost-effective use of resources, for example, time and money.6.2 The lists are not meant to be exhaustive. Neither are theyintended to be lists of data required for all E

24、RAs. The amountand type of data required for a screening or complex ERA willdepend upon the size and location of the site, the futureintended use of the site, the complexity of the site, and theoutcome of the data quality objectives (DQO) process (5).Atypical site may utilize only a small percentage

25、 of these dataand information options. These lists are intended to serve as ageneral index to data collection efforts.7. Lists7.1 Not all of the components within the following lists willbe relevant at every contaminated site. In addition, someinformation may be site-specific and other information m

26、ay beobtained from the literature. Literature data are more prevalentin screening ERAs and site-specific data are more prevalent incomplex ERAs. Whenever practicable, site-specific data arepreferred over literature data.7.2 The options in the lists are not in any particular order.Risk assessment oft

27、en is an iterative process, and it may bemore scientifically sound and cost-effective to complete certainoptions before others. The order for the completion of optionswill need to be determined on a case-by-case basis.8. Data Options for Problem Formulation8.1 Most of the data and information option

28、s in problemformulation are applicable to both screening and complexERAs and are outlined below; however, the information will bemore detailed in a complex ERA. Additional data and infor-mation options typically found only in complex ERAs arelisted in Section 9.8.2 Clearly define the goals of the ER

29、A (6).8.3 Define data quality objectives (DQOs) for the assess-ment (see Ref. 5).8.3.1 State the problem that the risk assessment shouldaddress.8.3.2 Identify the decision(s) that require new environmen-tal data to address the contamination problem.8.3.3 Identify the inputs (data or information) nee

30、ded tosupport the decision.8.3.4 Define the scale (spatial and temporal) of the assess-ment.8.3.5 Develop a decision rule that defines choice amongalternative solutions.8.3.6 Specify acceptable limits on decision errors used toestablish performance goals for limiting uncertainty.8.3.7 Optimize the d

35、trol movement ofconstituents and dictate exposure pathways. In particular, noteany features which would cause unpredictable movement ofconstituents, for example, karst formations in limestone oftencause difficulties in tracing ground water movement.8.4.5 Identify all relevant constituent-bearing med

36、ia, suchas the following:8.4.5.1 Soil;8.4.5.2 Ground water;8.4.5.3 Surface water;8.4.5.4 Sediment;8.4.5.5 Air; or,8.4.5.6 Biota.8.4.6 Identify direct and indirect complete exposure path-ways. Ensure that exposure pathways are identified appropri-ately, for example, PCBs may not be detected in surfac

37、e water,but may be detected in fish tissues, and therefore, food webexposure pathways are appropriate to consider. Exposurepathways may include the following:8.4.6.1 Inhalation;8.4.6.2 Ingestion;8.4.6.3 Dermal uptake;8.4.6.4 Root uptake; or,8.4.6.5 Food web.8.4.7 Identify normal and atypical weather

38、 patterns for thesite location, such as the following:8.4.7.1 Excessive dry periods with high winds may lead toincreased levels of constituents in air from fugitive dusts, anddestruction of habitat;8.4.7.2 Storm events, for example, hurricanes, that maymobilize constituents, for example, suspension
