a Allowable Soil Concentration Cs = f x Cw x Koc
b Soil Cleanup Objective = Cs x Correction Factor (CF)
N/A Not available
MDL Method Detection Limit
* Partition coefficient is calculated by using the following equation:
log Koc = -0.55 log S + 3.64, where S is solubility in water in ppm.
Other Koc values are experimental values.
** Correction Factor (CF) of 100 is used as per TAGM #4046
*** As per TAGM #4046, Total VOCs < 10 ppm., Total Semi-VOCs < 500ppm. and Individual Semi-VOCs < 50 ppm.
**** Koc is derived from the correlation Koc = 0.63 Kow (Determining Soil Response Action Levels......
EPA/540/2-89/057). Kow is obtained from the USEPA computer database 'MAIN'.
Note: Soil cleanup objectives are developed for soil organic carbon content (f) of 1%, and should be adjusted for the actual soil organic carbon content if it is known.
