"Risk Scenario" means a representative portrayal of the interactions between human and/or
ecological receptors and their immediate environment.
(1) Risk scenarios include development of exposure factors required to estimate dose to the
target receptor.
(2) Unless otherwise specified by the Department or incorporated by amendment, all human
health risk assessments shall employ “The Spokane Tribe's Multipathway Subsistence
Exposure Scenario and Screening Level RME" (Harper et al. 2002) as the basis for the
assessment. (Res. 2002-144).
(ii) “Security Interest” means an interest in a facility created or established for the purpose of
securing a loan or other obligation.
(1) Security interests include deeds of trusts, sellers interest in real estate contract, liens,
legal, or equitable title to a facility acquired incident to foreclosure and its equivalents,
and title pursuant to lease financing transactions.
(2) Security interests may also arise from transactions such as sale and leasebacks,
conditional sales, installment sales, trust receipt transactions, certain assignments,
factoring agreements, accounts receivable financing arrangements, easements, and
consignments, if the transaction creates or establishes an interest in a facility for the
purpose of securing a loan or other obligation.
(jj) “Sediment” means unconsolidated material eroded from parent rock, including soil and/or any
man-made unconsolidated solid material of a particulate nature, which exists below the ordinary
high water mark of any water body or wetland.
(kk) "Screening-Level Risk Assessment" means point by point, contaminant by contaminant,
comparison of non-Tribal risk-based thresholds to concentrations of contaminants measured
within the nature and extent of contamination to identify areas or volumes of media that are a
human health or ecological health concern to the Tribe. In this context, Screening-Level Risk
Assessments shall not be used to screen-out pathways, media, or contaminants.
(1) If the Department determines that such an assessment approach is warranted to assess
human health the point of departure used in the human health assessment shall be:
A. For systemic toxicants, this exposure level is represented by a hazard index of
far less than unity (HI < 0.01);
B. For known or suspected carcinogens, acceptable exposure levels are generally
concentration levels that represent an excess upper bound life-time cancer
risk to an individual of 10-6 using information on the relationship between
dose and response.
(ll) “Spokane Tribe” or “Spokane Tribe of Indians” means the Spokane Tribal government.
(mm)
“Total Risk" means risk attributable to the release as well as risk attributable to background.
(nn)

interest; requiring payment of additional rent or interest; exercising forbearance;
