A primary directive of CERCLA is the protection of public health. Because the hazards that exist at Superfund sites tend to be quite variable, it has not been possible to establish specific cleanup criteria for the hazardous substances regulated under CERCLA potential human health effects must be evaluated by quantitative risk assessment on a site-by-site basis. Each Superfund site is assessed individually to determine how clean is clean. The rationale is that the hazard of a contaminant is a function of its potential to reach a receptor (e.g., groundwater, population) and the potential harm to the exposed receptor. The ability of a contaminant to migrate, its potential to degrade, and its distance to a receptor of concern (i.e., the risk), all are site-specific. Only on the basis of such individualized risk assessment is it possible to achieve efficient and cost-effective cleanup of the thousands of hazardous waste sites throughout the US.
