based on a multiple-lines-of-evidence approach.

The expected output from a Preliminary ERA is a report that highlights the extent and degree of the on-site soil contamination and justifies the use and selection of the most appropriate EILs.  An analysis of uncertainty in all the data used should also be included. Uncertainty and reporting are discussed later in this Schedule. The rationale for the final risk management decision should be explained in detail.

Risk managers may find it useful to consider the DQO approach as described in Schedule B2, which emphasises the importance of ensuring data collected for use in decision-making regarding a site is of an appropriate quality. A DQO approach should be adopted early in the assessment process in relation to data used in risk assessment and in making risk-management decisions based on estimates of risk.
