New York State Comparative Risk Project Phase 1 and Phase 2 Reports
Phase 2 - Risk Reduction Strategies
This phase of the project developed management strategies that incorporate pollution prevention methods and prioritized them for implementation. For Phase 2, a Risk Reduction Strategies Work Group was established to build on the work of the three Phase 1 work groups and the Project Steering Committee by identifying sources of the 14 stressors evaluated for reducing risk. The Risk Reduction Strategies Work Group has prepared a Final Report that develops, prioritizes and recommends for implementation overall management strategies that also incorporate specific pollution prevention strategies. This document was released for public comment and has been finalized.
Phase 1 - Risk Characterization Phase
The completed reports of the Human Health, Ecosystems, and Quality of Life Work Groups were released in the summer of 2001 for public comment and have been finalized.
The Steering Committee has two documents: a project overview that was distributed during the public comment period, and a final report (pdf, 223 kb) that summarizes and completes Phase 1. One Steering Committee member has written a dissenting viewpoint. To get hard copies of the reports or ask questions about this project, contact us at the following address:
