About Hazard Ranking System Quickscore
The HRS Quickscore assists in scoring sites using the Hazard Ranking System. Created by EPA’s Superfund office, the HRS Quickscore is an electronic set of HRS scoresheets that executes site score calculations in real time. It assists EPA staff in developing conceptual site models for Superfund site assessments. The product is intended for use in planning and implementing preliminary assessments, site inspections and other data collection efforts according to HRS criteria, as well as writing and reviewing HRS documentation records.
HRS Quickscore's key functions include:
- Quick HRS pathway and site score calculations.
- HRS scoresheet preparation and printing.
- Easy identification of HRS data gaps in conceptual site models.
- Back of the envelope tracking of data gaps, notes, refinements and adjustments in scenario testing.
- Scratchpad note-taking capability.
- Ability to add "User Defined Substances" for use in scoring a site. This allows users to select a substance that is not currently in EPA’s Superfund Chemical Data Matrix or adjust values of a substance when SCDM factor values change.
- Uses current SCDM values. SCDM updates are typically made twice a year -- most often a summer and winter update. See Superfund Chemical Data Matrix for more information.
The data and resulting scores rely on your understanding and adherence to HRS criteria. Use of this product does not guarantee that a document is compliant with the HRS Guidance or HRS rules. All HRS packages and HRS scores are subject to EPA inspection and qualification.
