   The application for an off-site hazardous waste facility shall also include a risk assessment for each project to estimate the level of risk to human health and the environment. The risk assessment shall include the following:

   A.   The physical and chemical characteristics of the various wastes to be processed at the facility;

   B.   Determination of acute and chronic health threats, based on worst case and maximum credible accident scenarios;

   C.   Characterization of routine emissions (operative or fugitive) from the maximum credible accident scenario;

   D.   Characterization of exposure pathways for all emissions, including those along the identified haul route(s) within the City limits.

   Information from the risk assessment shall be incorporated into the findings of the project environmental review, and the emergency contingency plan described in Section 9.20.100 and Section 9.20.170, respectively, of this chapter.
