| Abstract/Description or Keywords | Detailed ecological risk assessment (DERA) is a process used to evaluate the probability and magnitude of harm to nonhuman organisms that is attributable to anthropogenic stressors. In British Columbia, DERA can be applied for a range of site conditions (type, size, and complexity), regulatory drivers (ranging from voluntary assessments to formal remedial orders), and environmental conditions and pathways. The purpose of this document is to provide technical guidance for practitioners of DERAs in British Columbia, in support of the provincial process for assessment and management of contaminated sites. groundwater, water quality, chemical water quality |
