Suspected polluted site— What do they do with it? Investigation: What pollutants are on-site? Where are they? Are they moving? What is the risk? Should we worry? How much? Site Investigation Risk Assessment R=E x T
6
Where is ESOI in cleanup process? How should we clean it up? Various methods Goal: Protect Human Health, Protect Bugs and Bunnies Site Clean Up/Remediation

ESOI Status: Good news/bad news Bad news: Still in investigation stage (with some idea of risk) Bad news: Still in investigation stage (with some idea of risk) Good news: We have plenty of data to answer basic questions (but not all we need) Good news: We have plenty of data to answer basic questions (but not all we need) –Where are pollutants? –What are those pollutants? –Is it moving? Good news: You can still participate meaningfully in process—watchdog process Good news: You can still participate meaningfully in process—watchdog process
