Validation of Air Force Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology.
Abstract
The Air Force uses the Hazard Assessment Rating Methodology (HARM) for the initial screening of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites in the Installation Restoration Program (IRP). This initial screening evaluates the potential health and environmental hazards associated with the site and determines if the site warrants further investigation. There is a definite need to properly evaluate these sites because investigative costs are high and it is important not to eliminate sites that need further investigation. This thesis evaluated results from actual Phase II investigations. Discriminant analysis was used to improve the HARM model's ability to properly evaluate sites. Keywords: Hazardous waste, Migration, Hazard assessment, Toxic hazards, Waste management, Contaminants, Waste disposal, Air force facilities.
