A risk assessment may include but not be <br /> Sacramento,CA limited to Risk-Basad-Corrective-Action(RBCA) analysis since this will identify any <br /> 95814 <br /> (916)227-4322 possible receptors and/or pathways present at the specified sites. Risk assessment is a <br /> FAX(916)227-4530 cost-effective way to decide if remediation is necessary or what levels of cleanup are <br /> world Wide web: essential to minimize risk to human health and other exposed receptors. <br /> http://www.swrcb.ca. <br /> govt-cwphome/ <br /> 1'undhome.htm An example of cost effectiveness is as follows: A RBCA analysis for a specific site will <br /> usually cost$3,000 to $7,000 after the site plume has been thoroughly defined and <br /> monitoring wells installed. Nevertheless a Soil Vapor Extraction system will typically <br /> cost the State for one year of operation approximately $125,000. If the risk analysis <br /> concludes the residual contamination poses no threat to human health, drinking water <br /> wells or other pathways the State has essentially saved over$100,000 by avoiding <br /> unnecessary remediation to the site. However, if the RBCA analysis concludes there is a <br /> very real risk to sensitive receptors then cleanup and remediation costs can be fully <br /> justified. <br /> Please note the risk analysis process is a new concept to many people and we expect <br /> prices and certain parameters to fluctuate depending on site conditions. However this <br /> process will become more streamlined as more consultants learn how to do RB CA's and <br /> other risk assessments. <br /> Furthermore all work must be directed and approved by you,the local oversight agency <br /> to be eligible for full reimbursement. <br /> Please call me at the above number for assistance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ismael Jacobo <br /> State Water Resources Control Engineer <br /> Recycled Paper Our mission is to preserve and enhance the quality of California s water resources,and <br /> ensure their proper allocation and efficient use for the henefid of present and future generations. <br />
