Analysis Based Option

If the current analysis is . . .

1. Human Health – SADA will identify data points and/or areas of the site that exceed or are predicted to exceed the target risk level for a specific risk scenario. When Human Health is selected and the screen, probability, area of concern, cost benefit analysis, or new samples (with uncertainty rank chosen) toolbar buttons are pressed, then the user will be prompted to specify the correct pathway in the Risk Scenario Selection Window.

2. Ecological – When ecological risk has been setup, the decision tab has additional buttons that relate to ecological decision for relevant media.  These buttons affect the ecological decision framework you are operating under for area of concern, uncertainty secondary sampling, and cost benefit analysis.  When Based on Benchmarks is selected, the user will be prompted to select the ecological benchmark for the decision framework.  When Based on Dose is selected, enter a relevant toxicity reference value for the contaminant and species that is being modeled for the purposes of comparing to the dose modeling results.  After being prompted for the species and pathways, SADA will return the decision information in the form of ecological risk results.

3. Custom Criteria – SADA will identify data points and/or areas of the site that exceed or are predicted to exceed imported custom values. When Custom Criteria is selected and the screen, probability, area of concern, cost benefit analysis, or new samples (with uncertainty rank chosen) toolbar buttons are pressed, then the user will be prompted to specify a particular custom criteria.
