Cleanup Criteria
Soil Cleanup Criteria (mg/kg)
Table Last Revised: 12 May 1999 to correct the impact to
ground water criterion for bis(2-chloroethyl)ether.
Please note that this table is for reference purpose and cases with Remedial Action Workplans approved prior to the May 7, 2012 amendments of
the Remediation Standards at N.J.A.C. 7:26D.
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. Please refer to the respective footnotes for more
detail. Notwithstanding, where the following criteria are based
on human health impacts, the Department shall still consider environmental
impacts when establishing site specific cleanup criteria. This along
with other site-specific factors including background conditions
may result in site specific cleanup criteria which differ from the
criteria listed below. Therefore, this list shall not be assumed
to represent approval by the Department of any remedial action or
to represent the Department’s opinion that a site requires remediation.

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. |
