also commented that other regulatory agencies should have had more input and review of the FEIR. Due to the controversial nature of the proposed project and its potential health effects, it is forseeable that the City Council will seek considerable guidance from other regulatory agencies with knowledge of health risk assessment practices. It is therefore imperative that federal,' state, and local agencies with expertise in health risk assessments be involved in the development and review of the studies conducted for this project. Such a review is to be initiated through the development of a work program. In this task, the consultant is to prepare a detailed draft work program for the health risk assessment. The work program is to be consistent with state-of-the-art health risk assessment practice, and is to explicitly address all reasonable issues related to potential health risks at the site. It should clearly explain all assumptions, data sources, methods to be used in the assessment and should explain how the significance of health risk will be determined for the site and project. All plausible exposure pathways should be discussed, and reasons should be presented for including or excluding each pathway from the health risk assessment. The work program should be comprehensive and should evaluate risks to residents of the proposed housing developments, workers at the proposed comercial/R & D development, construction workers building the project, and off-site residents.
