What is a Conceptual Site
Model?• A written and/or pictorial representation of
an environmental system and the
biological, physical and chemical
processes that determine the transport
and fate of contaminants through
environmental media to environmental
receptors and their most likely exposure
modes.

Components of a Complete
Conceptual Site Model• Sources of contaminants (can be multiple
sources as well as species on a site).
• Pathways of environmental transport.
• Indications of any barriers or remedies that exist
or are proposed.
• Pathways to ecological and human receptors.
(Refer to ASTM Handout page 8).

Why develop a Conceptual Site
Model?• Pull together technical data concerning a site
from numerous sources.
• Support the selection of sampling locations to establish background concentrations of identified contaminants.
• Identify data needs and gaps.
• Describe and integrate the processes that determine contaminant release, migration and receptor exposure.

Why develop a Conceptual Site
Model (continued)?• Determine exposure routes (inhalation,
ingestion and/or dermal absorption).
• Identify uncertainties in the model that need further study.
• Preliminarily evaluate the risk to human and ecological receptors (CERCLA NPL status is based on a significant risk to human health or the environment).
![Page 7: About CHEC - Conceptual Site Models for Contaminated Site … 2_PrinciplesEnvExpo.pdf · 2015. 3. 20. · Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicated in 1995 that the ISI was](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081620/61111bd93642674fce23b472/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why develop a Conceptual Site
Model (continued)?• Facilitate the selection of remedial alternatives
and evaluate the effectiveness of remedial
actions to reduce exposure.
• For use a a communication tool in the decision-
making process involving experts from exposure
assessment, human and ecological health,
remediation engineers etc.
• As a risk communication tool for the public.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
indicated in 1995 that the ISI was the largest
industrial source of toxic environmental
contamination in the United States. (EPA 1995)
This figure did not include industrial codes for foundries or machine tooling
plants, which have historically been associated with the ISI in the Tri-State Area (TSA) and have waste streams
associated with metals, organic solvents, cutting oils and isocyanates.

Conceptual Site Model to Understand Human and Ecological Risk from Legacy Iron
and Steel Wastes in the Three Rivers Area of Pittsburgh Conrad D. Volz, DrPH, MPH
CSM of bio-accumulation and bio-concentrationof contaminants in water and sediment by lower trophic levels in the Three Rivers. These
contaminants are bio-magnified as they move up the food chain through processes such as the
concentration of organic pollutants in lipids and the binding of heavy metals to proteins. The
resulting concentration of contaminants in piscivorous fish poses a health risk to human
consumers of TRA caught fish (especially subsistence–style fisherman) and fish eating birds.
CONTAMINANTS IN RIVER SEDIMENT AND WATER
ISI wastes can move through the food chain to higher trophic levels via the
processes of bioaccumulation, bioconcentration, and biomagnifcation.
Concentrations of contaminants in predatory fish can be 100 fold greater
than in primary producers posing a possible risk to consumers of river fish
and fish eating birds.

IntroductionEvidence shows that legacy wastes from the Iron and Steel Industry (ISI)
continue to contaminate human and ecological habitat in the Three Rivers Area
(TRA) of Pittsburgh through: transport from contaminated surface soils,
subsurface media, groundwater transport; and residual toxins deposited in river
sediment. Conceptual Site Models (CSMs), used by the EPA and DOE
graphically depict sources, release, transport pathways, exposure routes and
human and ecological receptors and possible blocks to each receptor to reduce
risk. CSMs are a powerful tool to help public and environmental health officials
understand and communicate regarding risk.
CSM of the movement of legacy waste in the TRA through environmental media and uptake
mechanisms by human and ecological receptors is presented.
