The paper presents a risk assessment for the management of contaminated sites. For defining the solutions for management of petroleum products storage and distribution sites there were developed two main activities. The first one consists in a detailed site investigation using a conceptual model to define its geological, hydrogeological characteristics and surely the contamination level. The second activity is dedicated to the assessment of risk generated by the soil, subsoil, air and groundwater contamination, by using a professional software applied to a real case study. The results showed that for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic compounds the risk is above the thresholds according to the legislation. The conclusions of this analysis allow establishing the measures to mitigate this risk, based on a feasibility study and on the best solutions for site remediation (soil and groundwater).
