A difficult challenge in ecological risk assessment can be determining what constitutes the “background” or ground-state condition for a site. This is because off-site conditions may not reflect to any relevant degree the history of the site itself and may therefore not be appropriate as benchmarks. One of the more important concerns is that underestimates may be made regarding contaminant-related impacts on-site because observations may indicate that community or population quality on-site equals or surpasses that observed off-site. In other cases, overestimates of the degree of contaminant impact may be made if environmental resources on-site are highly managed or devoid of natural communities. As such, management decisions may be confounded by artifacts of non-toxicant-related human influence and will not necessarily appropriately address the contaminant-related issues. Examples of these conditions are discussed herein. |
