The BHHRA, which was conducted as part of the Remedial Investigation Report (RI Report) being conducted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or Superfund), presents an analysis of potential for adverse health effects associated with both current or potential future human exposures to hazardous substance releases at Portland Harbor in the absence of any actions to control or mitigate these releases. Portland Harbor generally refers to a heavily industrialized reach of the Lower Willamette River (LWR) between river mile (RM) 0 and RM 11.8, the extent of the navigation channel. The approximate 10-mile portion of Portland Harbor from RM 1.9 to 11.8 is referred to as the Study Area, which is the focus of the BHHRA. The results of the BHHRA are used to assist in determining the need for remedial action, provide a basis for determining concentrations of chemicals that can remain in place and still be protective of public health, and to provide a basis for comparing the effectiveness of various remedial alternatives.
