Abstract

Contaminated site cleanup is a multibillion dollar issue in Canada. Practical decision support tools are needed to help prioritise contaminated site cleanup funding across a portfolio of many sites. This chapter illustrates the concept of prioritising contaminated site management decisions using environmental risk, societal perception and environmental liability as the measures. Using previously published information on 20 contaminated sites located in Canada, these three aspects are combined by applying partial order concepts to prioritise sites. The authors show how societal perception and environmental liability influence site prioritisation compared to prioritisation based on environmental risk alone. They recommended additional research in quantifying the societal perception of contaminated sites prior to practical application of the concepts explained in the chapter.
