Risk-Based Decision Making Report
DEEP's report is based on its review and analysis, in consultation with DPH, of CDM Smith's report dated August 29, 2014 “Evaluation of Risk-Based Decision Making”, the public comments on CDM Smith's report, and DEEP's own research. While many aspects of Connecticut's risk-based decision making are consistent with other states and reflect "best practices," DEEP's report contains recommendations for improvements in three areas:
- Ecological risk assessment and management,
- Updating numeric criteria, and
- Risk-based flexible remedy options.
