a. Allowable Soil Concentration Cs = f x Cw x Koc
b. Soil cleanup objective = Cs x Correction Factor (CF)
N/A is not available
* 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.
All 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.
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.
