 Step 1
Describe the management activity
Step 2
Identify the kinds and spatial extent of habitats
in and around the management area
Identify the species and humans that may use
Step 3
these habitats and that may be potential receptors
Step 4
Specify the contaminants of concern
Are there mechanisms which may bring a
Step 5
contaminant into contact with a human or
other organism?
No
Yes
Are there potential routes of contact between the
Step 6
contaminant and the receptor?
Yes
No complete pathway
No
and no risk
Describe potential routes of exposure to
contaminants such as ingestion, direct
contact, and inhalation
Complete exposure pathway
