. On or before January 30, 1994, the state board, in
consultation with the State Department of Public Health and the
Department of Fish and Wildlife, shall adopt general criteria for the
assessment and priority ranking of toxic hot spots. The criteria
shall take into account the pertinent factors relating to public
health and environmental quality, including, but not limited to,
potential hazards to public health, toxic hazards to fish, shellfish,
and wildlife, and the extent to which the deferral of a remedial
action will result, or is likely to result, in a significant increase
in environmental damage, health risks, or cleanup costs.
