Defining Risk Clusters
The scale and complexity related to soil and groundwater contamination at the megasite require a systematic approach for an appropriate assessment and management of the risks. For this purpose the risk management zone (RMZ) is subdivided into the so-called risk clusters (see figure below). A risk-cluster is a geographical subdivision of the risk management zone (RMZ) with source-pathway-receptor sequences that can be grouped together into one unit for which jointly: 1) risks can be quantified and, 2) risk management scenarios can be developed. Risk clusters form the units on which the megasite risk management plan will be based. The risk clusters are used in further development and evaluation of risk management scenarios, and the selection of the final risk management scenario for the megasite of concern.
