 Dr. Kim Devonald of the Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection 

 was the Project Monitor for EPA, and also drafted the Background 

 section of the Introduction. John Maxted contributed the sections on 

 Relationship of Fisheries Risk Assessment to Water Quality Standards 

 and Relationship of Fisheries Risk Assessment to Monitoring under 

 the Clean Water Act. The EPA Office of Pesticide Programs prepared 

 Appendix F. 



Portions of this report were based on the Guidance Manual for Health 

 Risk Assessment of Chemically Contaminated Seafood , a document 

 prepared for the Puget Sound Estuary Program in EPA Region X. 

 Information on quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) plans and 

 documentation was taken from the Pu get Sound Protocols , also 

 developed for the Puget Sound Estuary Program. 



Dr. John Armstrong of EPA Region X Office of Puget Sound was 

 instrumental in developing the original concept of a guidance manual 

 for assessing human health risk from contaminated fish and shellfish. 

 Comments on the EPA Region X risk document were provided by 

 participants at a 1987 workshop on health risk assessment related to 

 consumption of fish and shellfish. The workshop was sponsored by 

 EPA Region I and the New England Interstate Water Pollution Con- 

 trol Commission. Valuable comments on earlier drafts of this report 

 were received from the following reviewers:
