The water concentrations used for the simulation analysis were based on data from selected measurement locations, in an attempt to estimate the water concentration most likely to be associated with the fish being trapped near the Mound facility outfall (indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 7.3).…”

This report is one of a series that provide support to the U.S. Department of Energy's use of a human health impact-based methodology for ranking environmental issues. This methodology is referred to as the Multimedia Environmental Pollutant Assessment System (MEPAS)• for the Environmental Survey ranking effort, or as the Remedial Actin Priority System (RAPS) for other applications. This testing report documents a demonstration of the applicability of implementing the major components of the MEPAS/RAPS model at waste sites where contaminants have been released and monitored in the environment. Simulated contaminant levels are compared with measured environmental levels documented by monitoring programs. Other reports under preparation in the series include a sensitivity study for user-definable parameters, a sensitivity study for the Environmental Survey ranking criteria, and a collection of MEPAS/RAPS application papers.
