not imply unacceptability or that a significant human health or ecosystem risk is likely to be present. The decision on whether clean-up is required (and, if so, to what extent) should be based on site-specific assessment. Risk assessment is one aspect of making the decision though other considerations such as practicality, timescale, effectiveness, cost, durability, relevant regulatory policy, and community acceptance are also important.

A management plan for unacceptable levels of contamination may include one or more of the following:
    * work plan
    * determination of site-specific clean-up criteria
    * development of site management options
    * determination of clean-up methods
    * implementation plan of remedial actions
    * water treatment at the point of use
    * restriction on the use of the aquifer
    * provision of alternative water supply
    * future monitoring and information provisions.
These management issues are beyond the scope of the NEPM and are matters administered by jurisdictions.
