Topic: Review
of the Health Investigation Levels for the assessment of soil
contamination.
This presentation, by
Sophie Wood, ERM, will cover the review and revision of NEPM
(Contaminated Sites) Schedule B(4) Guideline on Risk Assessment
Methodology and Schedules B(7a) and B(7b) on the Health Based
Investigation Levels and Exposure Settings and Scenarios. As
the NEPM review is still underway, presentation of the proposed
values for the revised HILs will not be possible, however, the
changes to the methodology, and the principles behind the
derivation of the HILs will be presented, with opportunities for
discussion on the implications of the changes for contaminated
sites practitioners. An update on the likely timetable for
the public consultation of the new draft NEPM will also be
given.
