This listing represents the combination of Tables 3-2 and 7-1 from the Department of Environmental Protection and Energy’s February 3, 1992 proposed rule entitled Cleanup Standards for Contaminated Sites, N.J.A.C. 7:26D, as corrected based upon errors identified by the Department during or subsequent to the comment period as well as new toxicological or other information obtained since the rule proposal. The lowest of these values is compared to sample test results.

Footnotes:

(a) Criteria are health based using an incidental ingestion exposure pathway except where noted below.

(b) Criteria are subject to change based on site specific factors (e.g., aquifer classification, soil type, natural background, environmental impacts, etc.).

(c) Health based criterion exceeds the 10,000 mg/kg maximum for total organic contaminants.

(d) Health based criterion exceeds the 1000 mg/kg maximum for total volatile organic contaminants.

(e) Cleanup standard proposal was based on natural background.

(f) Health based criterion is lower than analytical limits; cleanup criterion based on practical quantitation level.

(g) Criterion based on the inhalation exposure pathway.

(h) The impact to ground water values for inorganic constituents will be developed based upon site specific chemical and physical parameters.

(i) Site specific determination required for SCC for the allergic contact dermatitis exposure pathway.

(j) Contaminant not regulated for this exposure pathway.

(k) Criteria based on inhalation exposure pathway, which yielded a more stringent criterion than the incidental ingestion exposure pathway.

(l) No criterion derived for this contaminant.

(m) Criterion based on ecological (phytotoxicity) effects.

(n) Level of the human health based criterion is such that evaluation for potential environmental impacts on a site by site basis is recommended.

(o) Level of the criterion is such that evaluation for potential acute exposure hazard is recommended.

(p) Criterion based on the USEPA Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic (IEUBK) model utilizing the default parameters. The concentration is considered to protect 95% of target population (children) at a blood lead level of 10 ug/dl.

(q) Criteria were derived from a model developed by the Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (SEGH) and were designed to be protective for adults in the workplace.

(r) Insufficient information available to calculate impact to ground water criteria.

(s) Criterion based on new drinking water standard.

(t) To be determined site-specifically as per the Soil Remediation Standards adopted 6/2/2008.
