Why Use A Conceptual Site Model?
The CSM represents a valuable planning and communication tool for interactions among the project team and with regulators and the public. In diagrammatic form the CSM presents complex relationships in a straightforward, direct manner, easily conveying information about: • Current site conditions with regard to contaminant sources and assessment endpoints, • Site assumptions regarding COPC fate and transport, exposure, and effects, and • Existing information and data gaps.
