All too often risk assessment tends to be a heady-pie-in-the-sky thing they only talk about at conference, instead of an achievable and acceptable outcome for sites.
Soil contaminant standards adopted by the NES CS and other Tier 1 criteria are used as a first-pass indicator of environmental health; however, in New Zealand these standards are increasingly used as remediation criteria and treated like a line in the sand to make environmental health a black-and-white, binary issue. Implementation of Tier 2, or site-specific, risk-based criteria can capture the nuance associated with the natural systems we evaluate on a day to day basis.
