SUPERFUND PUBLIC HEALTH EVALUATION MANUAL
Citation:
SUPERFUND PUBLIC HEALTH EVALUATION MANUAL. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/540/1-86/060 (NTIS PB87183125), 1986.
Description:
The Superfund Public Health Evaluation Manual has been developed for use by a diverse audience, including EPA regional staff, state Superfund program staff, federal and state remedial contractors, and potentially responsible parties. Individuals having different levels of scientific training and experience are likely to use the manual in designing, conducting, and reviewing public health evaluations. Because assumptions and judgements are required in many parts of the analysis, the individuals conducting the evaluation are key elements in the process. The manual is not intended for use by non-technical personnel to perform technical evaluations, nor to allow professionals trained in one discipline to perform the work of another. Rather, it is the responsibility of remedial project managers, using the manual as a guide, to match the scientific support they deem necessary with the appropriate resources at their disposal.
