North Dakota Risk Based Correction Action (NDRBCA)

The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) has developed a Risk Based Correction Action Program for the management of contaminant release sites. This management approach ensures the protection of human health and the environment based on scientific assessment of the risks posed by contaminants, now and in the future. NDRBCA starts after the contamination has been identified and all emergency response measures have been completed. NDRBCA’s three main goals are:

1) Protection of human health and the environment,
2) Practical and cost-effective application of risk-based decision making, and
3) Consistent and technically defensible administrative procedures.
