MSE professionals use ecological and human health
risk assessment as a basis for remedial action decisions. We have completed
complex risk assessments for hazardous waste sites in accordance with EPA
Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGs) and State-specific Risk-Based
Corrective Action (RBCA) programs for petroleum-contaminated sites. Our
staff members have received recognition from the USEPA for their participation
in the development and implementation of a State RBCA program. MSE's
technical capabilities in the areas of hydrogeology, groundwater modeling,
and statistical analysis enable our professionals to anticipate and acquire
the data needed to evaluate contaminant fate and transport and exposure
point concentrations to conduct risk assessments. Our in-house computer
software capabilities for risk assessments include Microsoft Excel and Access,
the GSI RBCA Spreadsheet system and the GSI RBCA Tool Kit for Chemical
Releases, the Johnson & Ettinger Model for evaluating subsurface vapor
migration into buildings as well as two and three-dimensional modeling programs
including MODFLOW and several EPA programs.
