The basis for risk-time curves associated with remediation of hazardous waste sites is developed. The utility of the risk-time curves as a part of a methodology for selecting between alternative remediation schemes is demonstrated when the time-frames for remediation are different for different alternatives. The potential for inclusion of uncertainty aspects in risk-time curves is considered.
