Thank you! Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA)

blackpipeThank you for your message! We will be in touch shortly.

According to the Environmental Protective Agency, the formal definition of Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA or “Rebecca”) is: “A streamlined approach in which exposure and risk assessment practices are integrated with traditional components of the corrective action process to ensure that appropriate and cost-effective remedies are selected, and that limited resources are properly allocated.”  In other words, managing risk without remediation to the cleanup target levels.

The goal of RBCA is threefold:

  1. Protection of human health and environment using institutional and engineering controls
  2. Practical and cost-effective application of risk-based decision-making
  3. Consistent and technically-defensible administrative procedures

ERMI discusses RBCA and other risk management strategies with our clients to determine the most cost-effective solution.
