美国环保署的超级基金风险评估指南（RAGS）和后来的文件提供了评估从郊区和农业活动模式和生活方式收到的暴露的指导。然而，这些方法不适合典型的部落社区，因为其成员至少部分地追求传统的生活方式。这些生活方式源自与特定地区所有资源的长期联系。我们采访了哥伦比亚河流域部落的35名成员，以制定一个基于生活方式的生存暴露情景，代表传统部落成员将接受的中等暴露。这一设想方案提供了一种方法，以部分满足关于环境正义的第12898号行政命令，（（1）），该命令要求对联邦行动对维持生计的人民的影响进行具体评估。由于维持生计的饮食只是传统生活方式的一部分，我们还利用从访谈中获得的信息来确定评估对环境和社会文化生活质量影响的参数。
EPA's Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS) and later documents provide guidance for estimating exposures received from suburban and agricultural activity patterns and lifestyles. However, these methods are not suitable for typical tribal communities whose members pursue, at least in part, traditional lifestyles. These lifestyles are derived from a long association with all of the resources in a particular region. We interviewed 35 members of a Columbia River Basin tribe to develop a lifestyle-based subsistence exposure scenario that represents a midrange exposure that a traditional tribal member would receive. This scenario provides a way to partially satisfy Executive Order 12898 on environmental justice,((1)), which requires a specific evaluation of impacts from federal actions to peoples with subsistence diets. Because a subsistence diet is only a portion of what is important to a traditional lifestyle, we also used information obtained from the interviews to identify parameters for evaluating impacts to environmental and sociocultural quality of life.
