Given the scope of contamination of U.S. groundwater and the vast amount of money involved in corrective action, improved risk management and remediation design is a critical need. In this project,a risk management model is being developed to investigate relationships between human health risk and corrective action design under conditions of uncertainty. The methodology combines a noisy genetic algorithm, which searches for cost-effective corrective action plans, with a flow and transport model called RT3D and a human health exposure risk assessment module. Theoretical advancements for improving computational efficiency of the model will also be investigated.
