ABSTRACT
A site 'conceptual model' should be developed from the desk study research, showing the 'receptors' potentially at risk and the 'pathway' between the contamination source and each receptor.
The next step should be soil sampling of the various areas and laboratory analysis of the materials to determine if the soil contains a contaminant (or contaminants) as well as obtaining an idea of the distribution of the contaminants over the site (In areas as well as depth) and the associated concentrations.
