310 CMR, § 40.0975

Current through Register 1536, December 6, 2024
Section 40.0975 - Identification of Applicable Soil Standards in Method 1

The MCP Method 1 Soil Standards consider both the potential risk of harm resulting from direct exposure to the oil and/or hazardous material in the soil and the potential impacts on the groundwater at the disposal site. The applicability of a specific numerical Standard is thus a function of both the soil and the groundwater category identified:

(1) The category of soil (S-1, S-2, or S-3) at each Exposure Point determines which one of the three tables of MCP Method 1 Soil Standards is applicable.
(2) The category of groundwater (GW-1, GW-2, and/or GW-3) at or near each Exposure Point determines which column of the applicable MCP Method 1 Soil Standards table are relevant to the soil at the Exposure Point. If more than one groundwater category is applicable at the disposal site, then multiple MCP Method 1 Soil Standards may be applicable to the soil of interest, and the lowest of those identified standards shall be selected to characterize the risk of harm.
(3) The MCP Method 1 Soil Standards listed in Table 2 in 310 CMR 40.0975(6)(a) are applicable to soil determined to be category S-1.
(4) The MCP Method 1 Soil Standards listed in Table 3 in 310 CMR 40.0975(6)(b) are applicable to soil determined to be category S-2.
(5) The MCP Method 1 Soil Standards listed in Table 4 in 310 CMR 40.0975(6)(c) are applicable to soil determined to be category S-3.
(6)Tables 2, 3 and 4 List the Potentially Applicable MCP Method 1 Soil Standards.

NOTE: All concentrations of oil and/or hazardous material in soil are calculated and presented on a dry weight/dry weight basis. NA - Not Applicable

* - The Total Chromium standard is applicable in the absence of species-specific data for Chromium III and Chromium VI.

** - Cyanide expressed as Physiologically Available Cyanide (PAC). In the absence of measured Physiologically Available Cyanide, the standard is applicable to Total Cyanide.

*** - The listed compounds and associated CAS numbers are for the acid forms of these PFAS compounds. The PFAS standards presented in Table 2 are apply to the respective anionic forms of these PFAS compounds. These anions may form salts with any of a number of cations resulting in a variety of possible chemical species, each having a unique CAS number.

[DAGGER]- The Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) standard may be used as an alternative to the appropriate combinations of the Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fraction standards. The use of the general TPH standard is a valid option only for C9 and greater petroleum hydrocarbons; it is not appropriate for the characterization of risks associated with lighter (gasolinerange) hydrocarbons.

[DOUBLE DAGGER]- The Department periodically reviews the scientific basis for these Standards and amends them, as appropriate, to incorporate new scientific information.

* - The Total Chromium standard is applicable in the absence of species-specific data for Chromium III and Chromium VI.

** - Cyanide expressed as Physiologically Available Cyanide (PAC). In the absence of measured Physiologically Available Cyanide, the standard is applicable to Total Cyanide.

*** - The listed PFAS compounds and associated CAS numbers are for the acid forms of these PFAS compounds. The PFAS standards presented in Table 3 also apply to the respective anionic forms of these PFAS compounds. These anions may form salts with any of a number of cations resulting in a variety of possible chemical species, each having a unique CAS number.

[DAGGER]- The Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) standard may be used as an alternative to the appropriate combinations of the Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fraction standards. The use of the general TPH standard is a valid option only for C9 and greater petroleum hydrocarbons; it is not appropriate for the characterization of risks associated with lighter (gasolinerange) hydrocarbons.

[DOUBLE DAGGER]- The Department periodically reviews the scientific basis for these Standards and amends them, as appropriate, to incorporate new scientific information.
