STANDARD SCOPES OF WORK FOR HTRW RISK ASSESSMENTS
1. Purpose. This engineer pamphlet (EP) will give United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) risk assessors the recommended basic/minimum requirements for scopes of work
(SOW) to procure Architect-Engineer (A-E) services for preparing human health and ecological
risk assessments for Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) projects. These HTRW
projects are regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA) of 1986, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended by the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984. The SOWs contained in
Appendices A and B are a starting point only. They can be changed by use of the Technical
Project Planning (TPP) Process (EM 200-1-2) and this is acceptable and advisable.
2. Applicability. This EP applies to all HQUSACE elements and USACE commands respon-
sible for HTRW projects.
