Corrective Action Plan for the Risk-Based Remediation of the Seventh Street Service Station, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida

Abstract

The objective of risk-based remediation is to reduce the risk of specific chemicals to human health and/or ecological receptors such as animals or plant life. For any chemical to pose a risk, four elements must exist at the site: A source of chemical contamination that exceeds or could generate chemical contamination above health-protective or aesthetic standards; A mechanism of contaminant release; A human or ecological receptor available for chemical contact; and A completed pathway through which that receptor will contact the chemical. If any one of these four elements is absent at a site, there is no current risk. The reduction or elimination of risk can be accomplished by limiting or removing any one of these four elements from the site.
