IN THE MATTER OF:
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TIERED
APPROACH TO CORRECTIVE ACTION
OBJECTIVES (35 ILL. ADM. CODE 742)
)
)
)
)
)
R06-10
(Rulemaking - Land)
Adopted Rule. Final Order.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore):
Today the Board adopts final amendments to the Tiered Approach to Corrective Action
Objectives (TACO) rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742). The amendments are primarily designed to
update standards and improve procedures under TACO and make numerous corrections and
clarifications. On February 6, 2007, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR)
issued a certification of no objection concerning the amendments proposed by the Board at
second notice. With this final adoption, the Board makes no changes to the second-notice rule
amendments. The Board will now file the adopted amendments with the Secretary of State for
publication in the
Illinois Register
as final rules.
This rulemaking was initiated when the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency) filed a proposal with the Board. After conducting two public hearings and considering
the entire record, including public comments and Agency
errata
sheets, the Board, on
September 7, 2006, adopted for first notice the amendments proposed or agreed to by the
Agency. Publication of those proposed amendments in the
Illinois Register
(30 Ill. Reg. 15366
(Sept. 29, 2006)) began a 45-day public comment period, during which the Board received no
additional public comments. The Board adopted the proposed amendments for second notice on
December 7, 2006. The Board’s second-notice amendments reflected only several minor
changes to the rule amendments proposed at first notice.
TACO was last amended in 2002. Generally, TACO provides methods for developing
risk-based remediation objectives to be used in environmental contamination cleanups under
several regulatory programs: Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Program; Site
Remediation Program (SRP); and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B
Permits and Closure Plans. The changes being adopted include the addition of background soil
levels for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and newly-applicable residential
remediation objectives to protect construction workers, as well as mandatory forms to be used
for certain institutional controls.
In this opinion, the Board first provides the procedural history of this rulemaking. The
Board then gives background on the current TACO rules. Next, the Board discusses the proposal
adopted today, along with the key issues raised during this rulemaking and how the Board
resolved them. The final amendments themselves are set forth in the order following this
opinion.

2
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
The Agency filed its rulemaking proposal on September 30, 2005.
1
On October 20,
2005, the Board accepted the Agency’s proposal for hearing, but required the Agency to file
more copies of the materials that the Agency sought to have incorporated into TACO by
reference. On November 2, 2005, the Agency timely filed the additional copies.
The Board held two public hearings in this rulemaking.
2
The first hearing took place in
Chicago on January 31, 2006. Five persons testified on behalf of the Agency at the first hearing:
(1) Gary King, Manager of the Division of Remediation Management in the Agency’s Bureau of
Land; (2) Dr. Thomas Hornshaw, Manager of the Agency’s Toxicity Assessment Unit; (3)
Lawrence Eastep, the former Manager of the Remedial Project Management Section in the
Agency’s Bureau of Land, now retired; (4) Gregory Dunn, Manager of one of the Voluntary Site
Remediation Units in the Agency’s Bureau of Land; and (5) Doug Clay, Manager of the LUST
Section in the Agency’s Bureau of Land.
Also testifying at the Chicago hearing were Harry Walton and Jarrett Thomas. Mr.
Walton testified on behalf of the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group (IERG) and the Site
Remediation Advisory Committee (SRAC). IERG is a not-for-profit Illinois corporation
affiliated with the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce and consists of over 60 member
companies. SRAC was established under Section 58.11(a) of the Environmental Protection Act
(Act) (415 ILCS 5/58.11(a) (2004)) as a 10-member committee appointed by the Governor to,
among other things, “[r]eview, evaluate, and make recommendations regarding State laws, rules,
and procedures that relate to site remediations.” 415 ILCS 5/58.11(b)(1) (2004).
SRAC members are from the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois
Manufacturers’ Association, the Chemical Industry Council of Illinois, the Consulting Engineers
Council of Illinois, the Illinois Bankers Association, the Community Bankers Association of
Illinois, the Illinois Association of Realtors, and the National Solid Waste Management
Association. Martin PFT2 at 1-2. Mr. Thomas is the President of the Illinois Association of
Environmental Laboratories (IAETL) and Vice-President of Suburban Laboratories, Inc. IAETL
consists of approximately 24 member laboratories. Tr.2 at 115.
The second hearing took place in Springfield on March 1, 2006. All those who testified
at the first hearing also testified at the second hearing. The following additional persons testified

Truesdale; Greg Pronger; Richard Halm.
Mr. Martin testified on behalf of IERG. Mr. Martin is a Consulting Environmental
Scientist at Ameren Services who represents the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association as
Chairman of SRAC. Mr. Martin is also Chairman of the IERG Corrective Action Work Group,
“which includes numerous companies engaged in industry, commerce, manufacturing, and
transportation related activity.” Martin PFT2 at 1. Mr. Gobelman testified on behalf of the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Mr. Gobelman is the Geologic and Waste
Assessment Specialist in IDOT’s Bureau of Design and Environment. Mr. Turpin is the
Manager of the Quality Assurance Section of the Agency’s Division of Laboratories. Ms.
Hurley is with the Agency’s Toxicity Assessment Unit. Mr. Truesdale is a professional engineer
and professional geologist with CSD Environmental Services. Mr. Pronger is the Technical
Director for Suburban Laboratories, Inc. Finally, Mr. Halm is the General Manager of
Environmental Monitoring and Technologies.
The transcripts of the Chicago and Springfield hearings were received by the Board on
February 10 and March 10, 2006, respectively, and promptly placed in the Clerk’s Office On
Line (COOL) on the Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us. Many other documents from this
rulemaking are available through COOL, including Board opinions and orders, hearing officer
orders, prefiled testimony, and public comments.
As required by Section 27(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/27(b) (2004)), the Board requested
that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) conduct an economic
impact study (EcIS) on this rulemaking. The Board’s EcIS request, dated November 10, 2006,
was placed in this rulemaking’s docket. DCEO did not respond to the Board’s request. At
hearing, the hearing officer noted the Board’s EcIS request and DCEO’s lack of response,
affording anyone the opportunity to testify. No one testified about DCEO’s lack of response.
Tr.2 at 6-7.

On February 21, 2006, the Agency filed a motion to correct the first hearing transcript,
which the hearing officer granted on the record at the second hearing. Tr.2 at 8-9. In a
March 7, 2006 order, the hearing officer set a public comment filing deadline of April 17, 2006,
for those who wished to ensure that the Board would consider their public comment before
proceeding to any first-notice decision. The Board received three pre-first notice public
comments, all timely filed on the deadline: (1) public comment of IAETL (PC 1); (2) public
comment of IERG (PC 2); and (3) public comment of the Agency (PC 3).
IERG and SRAC supported the Agency’s proposed amendments. Martin PFT2 at 2. As
discussed below, IAETL sought changes to TACO’s Acceptable Detection Limits (ADLs),
which the Agency, IERG, and SRAC opposed.
On September 7, 2006, the Board adopted its first-notice opinion and order, in which the
Board also granted the Agency’s April 3, 2006 motion to correct the second hearing transcript.
The amendments proposed for first notice were published in the
Illinois Register
on
September 29, 2006, which began the 45-day public comment period.
See
30 Ill. Reg. 15366
(Sept. 29, 2006). The Board received no additional public comments.

5
On December 7, 2006, the Board adopted its opinion and order for second notice. On
February 6, 2007, JCAR issued a certification of no objection concerning the second-notice rule
amendments to Part 742. The Board today makes no changes to the second-notice rules.
BACKGROUND ON TACO
The Board adopted TACO rules in 1997 under Title XVII of the Act (415 ILCS 5/58-
58.17 (2004)). The rules are set forth in Part 742 of Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code
(35 Ill. Adm. Code 742). As the Agency notes, the TACO rules provide “procedures for
developing remediation objectives based on various risks to human health posed by
environmental conditions at a site.” Stat. of Reas. at 2. Under TACO, persons assess the site
conditions, evaluate the risks to human health, and propose remediation objectives to “mitigate
conditions at the site so that they no longer pose a threat to human health.”
Id
.
Generally, TACO is used at sites being remediated under the SRP, the LUST Program,
and RCRA Part B Permits and Closures. Stat. of Reas. at 1; 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742.105(b). The
Agency states that using TACO has put “many sites back into productive use while significantly
decreasing remediation costs statewide.” Stat. of Reas. at 4. Indeed, Gary King of the Agency
testified that he had spoken with:
State environmental representatives from Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, New
York, and Mississippi as they have developed their own State programs and have
looked to the Illinois TACO rules to help guide their decision making. King
PFT1 at 2; Tr.1 at 9.
The Board has amended the TACO rules several times over the years. For example, in
2000, the Board adopted amendments proposed by the Agency that were “necessitated by new
technology, science, and programmatic changes.” Stat. of Reas. at 2. According to the Agency,
it is again necessary to amend TACO to keep it “current.”
Id
.
DISCUSSION
In this portion of the opinion, the Board first provides an overview of the adopted
proposal. The Board then discusses the most significant changes being made to the current
TACO rules, as well as the key issues raised during this rulemaking and their resolution. Those
topics are discussed in the following sequence: (1) applicability of TACO; (2) institutional
controls, including ordinances and new mandatory forms; (3) background soil levels for
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs; (4) construction worker protection in residential
scenarios; (5) new lead remediation objectives; (6) matters raised by the laboratory community,
including concerns over Acceptable Detection Limits or ADLs; and (7) the technical feasibility
and economic reasonableness of the amendments.
Overview
The Agency described the nature of the proposal:

6
The proposed amendments range in content from comments from the regulated
community to improve procedures to new standards established for various
contaminants, updated test methods, and new toxicity criteria. The effect of the
proposed amendments is to update and improve standards and procedures so that
end users of the rules can achieve accurate data results that are protective of
human health. Stat. of Reas. at 2-3;
see also
PC 3 at 1-2; Tr.1 at 9-10.
The Board’s first-notice amendments made no substantive changes to the Agency’s
original proposal or three Agency
errata
sheets, with two exceptions: IDOT and IAETL had
each suggested rule language, all of which is detailed below and agreed to by the Agency. At
second notice, the Board made no substantive changes to its first-notice proposal and today at
final adoption, the Board makes no changes to its second-notice proposal.
Many of the amendments are found in TACO appendices because they are new values
established for contaminants or are new forms for institutional controls. Hornshaw PFT1 at 3-4;
Tr.1 at 18-19. Many other changes are given effect by amending TACO’s incorporations by
reference, reflecting new or updated test methods and technical support documents. Stat. of
Reas. at 4, 7-10; Dunn PFT1 at 2-5; Tr.1 at 18-19, 26. The amendments also reflect a number of
minor corrections and clarifications. Hornshaw PFT1 at 7-14.
Applicability of TACO
The Board adds a new subsection (h) to Section 742.105 on TACO applicability,
clarifying that landfills cannot use TACO in lieu of the procedures and requirements applicable
to landfills under Part 807 or Parts 811 through 814 (35 Ill. Adm. Code 807, 811-814). Stat. of
Reas. at 5; King PFT1 at 2-3. This change “represent[s] longstanding Agency practices.” Stat.
of Reas. at 2. In fact, the Agency’s Gary King testified in the original TACO rulemaking that
“landfills were not an appropriate fit for use of TACO because of technical and regulatory
issues.” King PFT1 at 2-3; Tr.1 at 10.
Institutional Controls
Under TACO, an “institutional control” is “a legal mechanism for imposing a restriction
on land use, as described in Subpart J.” 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742.200. Institutional controls
include No Further Remediation (NFR) Letters, Environmental Land Use Controls (ELUCs),
Highway Authority Agreements (HAAs), and ordinances.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 742.Subpart J.
Several types of institutional controls are impacted by the amendments.
Highway Authority Agreements or HAAs
For contamination remaining under highways, the Board adds new language to clarify the
use of HAAs. Such agreements are typically between the highway authority and the property
owner. The amendments are needed to address when a LUST owner or operator (
i.e.
, the person
who would receive the NFR Letter from the Agency) is
not
the owner of the property.
See
Section 742.1000(c)(5); Appendix D; King PFT1 at 3.

7
In addition, a new instrument is added as an institutional control (Highway Authority
Agreement Memorandum of Agreement or HAA MOA) to address situations where the highway
authority
is
the property owner or LUST owner or operator and contamination remains under the
highway. The problem resolved by this amendment is that the highway authority cannot enter
into a binding agreement with itself. The HAA MOA then, as adopted, would be entered into
between the highway authority and the Agency.
See
Sections 742.1000(c)(6), 742.1020(g), (h);
Appendix E; King PFT1 at 3, 4-6.
Ordinances
Mr. King testified that ordinances, like other institutional controls, “must remain in effect
in perpetuity unless a responsible party demonstrates to the Agency that the ordinance (or other
institutional control) is no longer necessary.” King PFT1 at 4. Ordinances, however, “by their
nature, may be amended,” and the Agency is aware of at least two instances where ordinances
approved as institutional controls were later amended or repealed without notice to the Agency.
Id
. Accordingly, the Board adds new requirements to alert the Agency of such actions regarding
institutional control ordinances.
Id
.;
see
Section 742.1015(c).
The Agency’s Gregory Dunn testified that under current Section 742.320(d), an
ordinance can be used to exclude the groundwater ingestion exposure route only if the ordinance
effectively prohibits installing and using potable water supply wells within 2,500 feet from the
source of the release. The 2,500-foot distance was originally proposed to correspond to the
maximum setback zone for a community water supply well under Section 14.3 of the Act (415
ILCS 5/14.3 (2004)). Dunn PFT1 at 7; Stat. of Reas. at 5-6. A difficulty has arisen, however,
for sites near a municipal boundary. These sites cannot now use Section 742.320(d) because the
2,500-foot radius would extend beyond the municipal boundary—and because beyond the
municipal boundary there is no such ordinance in effect. Dunn PFT1 at 7-8; Stat. of Reas. at 5-6.
According to Mr. Dunn, among those sites precluded from using an ordinance to exclude
the groundwater pathway are sites that “may only have measured and modeled concentrations
extending only a short distance off-site, but well within 2,500 feet of the boundary of the
municipality with the groundwater ordinance.” Dunn PFT1 at 8. To address this issue, the
amendments would allow use of a groundwater ordinance for any area within the measured and
modeled extent of groundwater contamination above what would otherwise be the applicable
Tier I groundwater objectives.
Id
.; Tr.1 at 29-30; Stat. of Reas. at 6.
Mandatory Forms
The Agency over the last several years has developed “model documents” to implement
the different institutional controls under TACO. The Agency did so “to make document
preparation and Agency review more effective.” King PFT1 at 6. Specifically, the Agency
believes that requiring the use of the forms “significantly decreases the burden on the regulated
community to craft forms themselves and also substantially decreases the [Agency’s] review
time of the documents.” Stat. of Reas. at 7. The Agency posted the model documents on its

8
Web site for easy public use. Tr.1 at 11. Mr. King testified that it would now be appropriate to
codify the model documents and formally require their use. King PFT1 at 6.
According to the Agency, the forms were prepared by Agency attorneys “to meet the four
corners of the law.” Eastep PFT2 at 5. Over the possible concern that the act of non-lawyers
completing these legal documents might constitute the unauthorized practice of law, the Agency
maintains that “simply having members of the regulated community fill in the blanks with site
specific information does not require any legal expertise, nor does the Agency believe it
constitutes the practice of law.”
Id
. The Agency likens these forms to other government forms
that are filled out every day by members of the public without being classified as the
unauthorized practice of law.
Id
. at 5-6. Further, before submitting its proposal to the Board, the
Agency shared a draft of the proposed forms with and met with SRAC and IERG, neither of
which raised concerns over any potential for the unauthorized practice of law. Stat. of Reas. at 3;
Martin PFT2 at 2; Tr.1 at 101-06. The adopted mandatory forms appear in new TACO
Appendices D (HAA), E (HAA MOA), F (ELUC), and H (Memorandum of Understanding) and
are cross-referenced in the rule text. King PFT1 at 6; Eastep PFT2 at 5.
At the Springfield hearing, Steven Gobelman of IDOT testified that IDOT wished to be
exempt from having to use the mandatory HAAs. Exh. 12 at 1. Mr. Gobelman testified that
IDOT, as a State agency, has “unique legal requirements that other highway authorities would
not have.”
Id
. He explained that the HAA currently used by IDOT:
contains the following additional legal provisions unique to the State of Illinois[:]
all [IDOT] HAAs must be reviewed and approved by the Illinois Attorney
General’s Office; (2) the [IDOT] HAA is null and void if the Illinois Attorney
General’s Office and the Agency do[] not approve such agreement; (3) if [IDOT]
should breach the HAA, the owner/operator’s sole remedy is for an action for
damages in the Illinois Court of Claims.
Id
. at 1-2.
According to Mr. Gobelman, IDOT has worked with the Agency and the Illinois
Attorney General’s Office to establish its own agreements, “which satisfy not only the
requirements of the Model HAA but also the TACO regulations.” Exh. 12 at 1-2. At hearing,
IDOT offered changes to the Agency’s then-proposed Section 742.1020(a) amendments to carve
IDOT out from the requirement to use the Appendix D HAA form.
Id
.; Tr.2 at 22-24. The
Agency concurs with IDOT’s proposed rule language (PC 3 at 2), which is reflected in today’s
adopted amendments.
Finally, IERG asked the Board to address in its opinion whether the new mandatory
forms would be “retroactively applied.” PC 2 at 1-2. Mr. King testified that the Agency does
not intend to require use of the new forms where the institutional control agreements have
already been negotiated and executed before the effective date of these amendatory rules. Tr.2 at
10-11; PC 2 at 1-2. The Board agrees with the Agency and as IERG suggests, these rules will
not require such pre-existing agreements to be renegotiated “even where the agreements may not
be identical to the new forms.” PC 2 at 2.
Background Soil Levels for Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons or PAHs

9
Based on the Agency’s years of experience in reviewing contaminant investigation
reports submitted under the SRP, it became apparent to the Agency that significant levels of
PAHs are “ubiquitous throughout much of the State.” Stat. of Reas. at 7; Eastep PFT1 at 2; Tr.1
at 21-23. PAHs “occur as a result of the incomplete combustion of organic material or a result of
other natural or anthropogenic activities.” Stat. of Reas. at 7. Natural sources of PAHs might
include forest fires, volcanic activity, and for the City of Chicago, the Great Chicago Fire.
Eastep PFT1 at 1. Anthrpogenic sources may include motor vehicles, coal burning power plants,
burning refuse, outdoor grilling, and industrial operations like manufactured gas plants.
Id
.
The problem presented by these “background” levels of PAHs is that to meet existing
TACO remediation objectives for certain PAHs, persons have had to “remediate to levels below
the naturally occurring levels.” Stat. of Reas. at 7-8. According to the Agency, “[t]his could
mean removal of soils to excessive depths and then trying to find clean fill that might meet all
the Tier 1 objectives,” which was often “either technically infeasible or economically
unreasonable.” Eastep PFT1 at 2. In the words of IERG’s Brian Martin:
Requiring the remedial applicant to remediate to achieve Tier 1 residential
[remediation objectives] would result in “islands of clean” and would “chill” the
recycling of commercial/industrial properties to a residential land use. The
increased cost to achieve the Tier 1 [remediation objectives] will not result in a
decreased risk to the residential community. Martin PFT2 at 5.
A new Table H to Appendix A would set forth background soil levels for PAHs that may
be used as remediation objectives. The PAH levels are based on two studies performed in 2001
and 2002. One study was conducted by the City of Chicago in conjunction with the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) to assess PAH levels in Chicago ambient soils. A Brownfield
Redevelopment Grant was approved for the City of Chicago in July 2000 to allow for the study.
The results of the study were presented by Tetra Tech EM Inc. in
Polynuclear Aromatic
Hydrocarbon Background Study, City of Chicago, Illinois
, which is being incorporated by
reference. Stat. of Reas. at 8; Eastep PFT1 at 2. The study assessed “those soils whose chemical
composition is affected by ubiquitous natural or anthropogenic processes rather than site-specific
disposal of waste materials.” Eastep PFT1 at 2-4; Tr.1 at 22.
The other study was conducted by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) on soils
statewide, but outside of the City of Chicago. The Agency consulted with EPRI on this study
and concurred with the site selection and sampling protocols before the study began. The results
of the study were published in
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Surface Soil in
Illinois: Background PAHs
, which is being incorporated by reference. Eastep PFT1 at 3-5; Stat.
of Reas. at 8; Martin PFT2 at 2-3; PC 2 at 3; Tr.1 at 22; Tr.2 at 15-20.
For PAHs that have background levels exceeding any tier remediation objective, the
“appropriate background level is incorporated into the Tier 1 table by virtue of a footnote”
directing the reader to the newly-added background PAH levels table. Eastep PFT1 at 2-5; Stat.
of Reas. at 8;
see
Appendix A, Table H; Appendix B, Table A, footnote w; Appendix B, Table B,
footnote x.

10
The background PAH table, as with background levels for arsenic added in 2000, is not
part of the “area background” provisions of TACO’s Subtitle D (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742.Subpart
D). Eastep PFT2 at 2-5; Martin PFT2 at 3-4;
see
Proposed Amendments to Tiered Approach to
Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742), R00-19(A) (Dec. 21, 2000).
Larry Eastep of the Agency testified:
Arsenic was found to be present everywhere above the Tier 1 residential
objectives. It was in residential areas, natural areas, and many other
uncontaminated areas. The Agency determined that even though arsenic was
above Tier 1 objectives, it poses no additional (incremental) excess risk over what
the public is exposed to every day. *** [A]rsenic was not characterized as “area
background” since it was a statewide phenomenon . . . .
***
Since the studies have shown [PAHs] to be ubiquitous in Illinois, the use of
statewide background does not fit the concept of “area background” provided in
the Act and current rules. “Area background” was intended to address specific
areas contaminated by local activities of industry. Eastep PFT2 at 3-4, 5;
see also
Tr.1 at 80-81, 83, 90-91.
The new Table H with background PAH levels could be used for a site in Chicago or in
any other “populated area.” Eastep PFT1 at 5; Stat. of Reas. at 8. The definition of “populated
area” reads as follows:
“Populated Area” means (1) an area within the boundaries of a municipality that
has a population of 10,000 or greater based on the year 2000 or most recent
census; or (2) an area less than three miles from the property boundary of a
municipality that has a population of 10,000 or greater based on the year 2000 or
most recent census.
See
Section 742.200.
Table H contains three columns of differing background soil values: one column for
Chicago; one for “metropolitan areas”; and one for “non-metropolitan areas.” Eastep PFT1 at 5.
For purposes of the table, “Chicago” means within the corporate limits of the City of Chicago.
See
Appendix A, Table H, footnote a. The term “metropolitan area” means a “populated area”
(other than the City of Chicago) that
is
located within any county in a standard metropolitan
statistical area (SMSA).
See
Appendix A, Table H, footnote b. The term “non-metropolitan
area” means a “populated area” that is
not
located within any county in a SMSA.
See
Appendix
A, Table H, footnote c.
3
The three separate geographical areas are used because background PAH levels were
statistically different in those areas. Eastep PFT1 at 5. The Agency provided an example:
3
Counties within a SMSA are: Boone, Champaign, Clinton, Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Henry,
Jersey, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, Macon, Madison, McHenry, McLean, Menard, Monroe,
Peoria, Rock Island, Sangamon, St. Clair, Tazewell, Will, Winnebago, and Woodford.
See
35
Ill. Adm. Code 742.APPENDIX A, Table G, Board Note.

11
For benzo(a)anthracene, background levels exceeded Tier 1 ingestion levels only
in Chicago and the downstate metropolitan areas, but not non-metropolitan areas.
Thus, the non-metropolitan areas would not use Table H since background in
these areas was below Tier 1 levels.
Id
.
Mr. Eastep testified that PAHs have a “statewide presence that residents are exposed to
every day.” Eastep PFT2 at 4. According to Mr. Eastep, the amendments “should have no
impact in terms of excess risk” because there is “no increase in risk to people.”
Id
. at 5; Tr.2 at
11-12. Responding to potential concerns about the cumulative effect of similar acting
carcinogenic chemicals, the Agency contended that if multiple PAHs are present at
concentrations less than the values listed in the new background table, then the risk levels fall
within “the acceptable range of 10
-4
to 10
-6
.” PC 3 at 3, Attachment 1; Tr.1 at 13-14, 84-87; Tr.2
at 11-14.
Mr. Eastep concluded in testimony that allowing cleanups to use the new PAH
background table “will help hold costs down and allow them to focus on contaminants of
concern, while still protecting human health and the environment.” Eastep PFT1 at 6; PC 2 at 5.
The Board adopts the new Table H on PAH background levels.
Construction Worker Protection in Residential Scenarios
The Board adds a new footnote, footnote x, to Appendix B, Table A, because 28
chemicals listed in TACO were found to have “industrial/commercial construction worker
inhalation” remediation objectives that are
more
stringent than the “residential inhalation”
objectives. Stat. of Reas. at 8-9. In other words, a site cleaned up to current residential levels
might nevertheless not meet all of the construction worker objectives. Of course, construction
work may occur on residential properties, including emergency work or repairs. Further, many
sites are cleaned up to TACO residential levels even though the property is intended to be used
for commercial or industrial purposes, “to reduce encumbrances on their property.” Eastep PFT1
at 9-10; Tr.1 at 23-24, 94-95. The new footnote x is designed to apply the more stringent
objectives for those 28 chemicals.
Id
.; Stat. of Reas. at 8-9.
New Lead Remediation Objectives
Dr. Thomas Hornshaw of the Agency testified that TACO’s current lead soil remediation
objective of 400 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for the industrial/commercial and construction
worker ingestion pathways is based on a child’s exposure assumptions. Horhshaw PFT1 at 4.
The Agency conferred with USEPA and reviewed the USEPA Adult Blood Lead Model,
according to Dr. Hornshaw. The Agency determined that it would be appropriate to use the
default inputs for this model to calculate new lead soil objectives of 800 mg/kg and 700 mg/kg
for the industrial/commercial and construction worker ingestion routes, respectively.
Id
., Exh. B,
C; Tr.1 at 16-17. These new values appear in Appendix B, Table B.

Laboratory Matters
Acceptable Detection Limits or ADLs
Current Section 742.200 of TACO defines ADL as follows:
“ADL” means Acceptable Detection Limit, which is the detectable concentration
of a substance that is equal to the lowest appropriate Practical Quantitation Limit
(PQL) as defined in this Section. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742.200.
In turn, PQL is defined as follows:
“PQL” means practical quantitation limit or estimated quantitation limit, which is
the lowest concentration that can be reliably measured within specified limits of
precision and accuracy for a specific laboratory analytical method during routine
laboratory operating conditions in accordance with “Test Methods for Evaluating
Solid Wastes, Physical/Chemical Methods”, EPA Publication No. SW-846,
incorporated by reference in Section 742.210. When applied to filtered water
samples, PQL includes the method detection limit or estimated detection limit in
accordance with the applicable method revision in: “Methods for the
Determination of Organic Compounds in Drinking Water”, Supplement II”, EPA
Publication No. EPA/600/4-88/039; “Methods for the Determination of Organic
Compounds in Drinking Water, Supplement III”, EPA Publication No.
EPA/600/R-95/131, all of which are incorporated by reference in Section
742.210. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742.200.
The ADLs are based either on USEPA’s SW-846 test methods document or drinking water
methods. Tr.1 at 36-37. Generally, under TACO, where the remediation objective for a
chemical is less than the ADL, the ADL serves as the remediation objective.
See
35 Ill. Adm.
Code 742.505(b)(3)(B) (groundwater), 742.510(a)(8) (soil).
IAETL proposed revisions to current ADLs in TACO, as well as new ADLs where
TACO provides no ADLs. PC 1, Attachment; Tr.1 at 42; 59-61, 67. IAETL argued that the
Agency “clearly intended the cleanup objectives found in TACO to be analytically achievable.”
PC 1 at 2. IAETL claimed that the Agency’s proposal nevertheless failed to address USEPA’s
warning that method Estimated Quantitation Limits (EQLs) listed in USEPA’s SW-846 test
methods document are “highly matrix dependent” and “provided for guidance and may not
always be achievable.”
Id
. Additionally, IAETL cautioned that linking TACO remediation
objectives to USEPA SW-846 EQLs poses significant risk because the methods tend to change
over time.
Id
. In fact, USEPA is removing all references to EQLs from future methods and
revisions, according to IAETL.
Id.
IAETL maintained that the Agency also did not consider the limited number, and in some
cases, the complete lack of accredited laboratories that may be able to achieve the published
EQLs, and the potentially high costs of implementing non-routine and specialized methods. PC
1 at 2. IAETL’s Jarrett Thomas testified:

13
[S]ome of those analytes are unachievable using conventional methods that are
used by environmental labs every day. There are methods that exist in USEPA
that have supersensitive detection limits. However, the cost of using those
methods is very high. Tr.1 at 60.
IAETL pointed to Mr. Dunn’s testimony to show that the Agency does not intend to revise the
ADLs even though they are aware that the objectives cannot be achieved. PC 1 at 3.
IAETL suggested that the regulations should require “best available technology” to
ensure ADLs are readily achievable. PC 1 at 3-4. IAETL proposed specific ADLs derived from
what it considers “commonly used methods of analysis in the environmental laboratory
industry.”
Id
, Attachment 1; Tr.1 at 59-61. Further, IAETL recommended that the Board
establish a “Technical Advisory Committee” that would include members of IAETL. PC 1 at 4.
The committee, IAETL continued, would offer guidance to the Agency on a routine basis to
ensure TACO is “technically sound and method/ADL references are kept current.”
Id
.
IERG opposed IAETL’s proposed revisions to TACO ADLs. IERG believed that
changing the ADL regulatory structure to address the laboratory community’s concerns would
“conflict with TACO protective and ‘conservative’ policy goals.” PC 2 at 6. IERG contended
that the “current ADL compliance policy” assures that the Tier 1 remediation objectives are:
protective in all exposure scenarios. The regulated community, which includes
the financial and lending industry, developers and the legal community, rely upon
the current TACO policy and process, which provide cost effective tools to
address theoretical risks.
Id
.
The Agency stated that it “understands there are compounds for which routinely used
methods cannot meet their respective remediation objective established in TACO.” Dunn PFT2
at 3. The Agency argued, however, that if ADLs are “set too high, then the remediation
objectives are not protective and can become meaningless.” PC 3 at 4. The Agency further
asserted that labs either in Illinois or other states are accredited to perform most of the specified
procedures, and where no labs are certified, alternative methods are available under the Act and
TACO. In response to IAETL’s claims that routinely-used methods often cannot meet
remediation objectives or ADLs, the Agency listed labs in Illinois and other states that are
certified for most parameters. PC 3 at 4-5, Attachment 2; Tr.2 at 39, 71-73.
Dr. Hornshaw testified at the time of the original TACO rulemaking that Method 8310
was not then widely available at laboratories to test for PAHs, but has since become “fairly
widespread”: “in that case we kind of forced the technology to catch up with the detection
limits.” Tr.1 at 64-65. According to the Agency, although no labs are currently certified for
Method 8061A and Method 8131, other methods are available and, moreover, the Agency “has
not encountered these compounds as constituents of concern.” PC 3 at 4.
The Agency contended that even with over 300 SRP sites and over 1,000 LUST sites
processed annually, numerous certified laboratories are achieving TACO ADLs “without issue.”

14
PC 3 at 5-6. Moreover, Mr. Dunn testified that TACO already provides a number of ways to
comply when faced with a laboratory detection limit that exceeds a risk-based remediation
objective for a chemical:
1.
A Tier 2 evaluation can be completed on the contaminant of concern to
achieve a higher remediation objective for that compound. Equations in
Appendix C, Table A and Appendix C, Table C allow the use of site-
specific information to determine a site-specific remediation objective for
the route (ingestion, inhalation, soil migration to groundwater or
groundwater ingestion) of concern.
2.
A Tier 3 option is also available, allowing a person to provide information
to the Agency documenting the exposure route of concern is not complete,
the remediation of this compound above the established remediation
objective is impractical, or any other situation allowed pursuant to Section
742.900.
3.
The exposure route of concern can be excluded pursuant to the
requirements of Sections 742.310, 742.315, or 742.320. The use of
institutional controls (Environmental Land Use Controls, Highway
Authority Agreements, Groundwater Ordinances, etc.) or engineered
barriers can be used to exclude the route of concern.
4.
An argument could be made to the Agency stating the chemical with the
detection limit exceeding the established remediation objective in TACO
is not a contaminant of concern at the site. The argument must include
reasons why the chemical would not be a contaminant of concern.
5.
The Remediation Applicant, owner/operator, or anyone else using TACO
could petition the Illinois Pollution Control Board to request the use of an
adjusted standard pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Environmental
Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/28.1 (2004)]. Dunn PFT2 at 2-3; Tr.1 at 52,
54-55, 69-70; Tr.2 at 111-12.
The Agency also disagreed with the testimony of Mr. Thomas concerning the
applicability of ADLs to the Class I groundwater remediation objectives. PC 3 at 5. Mr.
Thomas testified that the ADLs were too difficult to meet and were unnecessary because “no one
drinks the groundwater near remediation sites.”
Id
. However, the Agency cited examples of
private wells located in the vicinity of remediation sites and claimed that there are thousands of
similarly situated private wells.
Id.
According to the Agency, if it did not consider drinking
water, the regulations would not be protective of human health.
Id
.
In addition, the Agency opposed Mr. Thomas’ suggestion of adopting a performance
based measurement system (PBMS) approach to analytical requirements in TACO. PC 3 at 7;
Tr.2 at 29-31; Thomas PFT2 at 6. The Agency believed that Mr. Thomas was referring to a
“procedurally rich RCRA [Resource Conservation and Recovery Act] program under USEPA.”

15
PC 3 at 7. The Agency maintained, however, that the elements identified by Mr. Thomas
(questions to be answered by monitoring, decisions to be supported by the data, level of
uncertainty considered acceptable, documentation that must be generated to support the
approach) “are fundamental to its remediation programs and are already addressed by TACO and
program procedural rules.”
Id.
at 7-8.
Furthermore, the Agency continued, the purpose of employing a PBMS would be to
“allow remediation objectives to be based on what is analytically achievable as opposed to being
risk based.” PC 3 at 8. As noted in the testimony of the Agency’s Ron Turpin:
[I]t was never the intention that the program be able to operate only using what
some laboratories call routine or common methods. It’s understood that there are
times in order to be protective of health and the environment that more
specialized methods would be needed.
Id
. (quoting Tr.2 at 73).
Finally, the Agency commented that “[t]o change the structure of TACO for convenience or for
economic reasons would not be consistent with the Act.”
Id
.
After careful consideration, the Board found at first notice that there was not enough
information in this record to support the sweeping ADL-related changes proposed by IAETL.
IAETL provided no corroborating data or detailed explanation to substantiate its numerous
suggestions. Moreover, the Board noted that it shared the concern of the Agency and IERG that
broadly relaxing ADLs to match routinely-used, lower-cost test methods may risk rendering
certain TACO remediation objectives no longer protective of human health. As the Board
observed, laboratories are Agency-certified for most test methods, and there are several
alternative mechanisms to evaluate compounds about which IAETL complained. Further, the
Board noted that it has every expectation that the Agency will continue to propose to the Board
appropriate rulemaking “updates” to reflect “changes in scientific information.” PC 3 at 1.
After the second hearing, the hearing officer’s order encouraged persons to include in
public comment their views on how the Board should procedurally address the concerns raised in
this record about ADLs and other laboratory issues: “For example, the Board’s procedural
options include addressing the matters in this docket; holding another hearing before first notice;
opening a different docket.” Hearing Officer Order, R06-10 (Mar. 7, 2006).
IAETL, of course, requested that the “analytical limitations of TACO be addressed in this
rulemaking.” PC 1 at 2. IAETL stated that for the last four years it has tried without success to
“work with the [Agency] to resolve several analytical problems inherent in the regulation.”
Id
.;
Tr.1 at 58; Tr.2 at 62-64.
IERG believed that IAETL’s concerns would be better addressed in separate rulemaking.
PC 2 at 6. TACO itself does not provide procedures for characterizing a site and evaluating the
potential contamination at the site, according to IERG.
Id.
at 5. Rather, IERG continued, these
details are found in each program’s regulatory requirements.
Id.
at 5-6. IERG maintained
therefore that IAETL’s concerns are not appropriate for this rulemaking.
Id
. IERG
recommended that:

 
16
ADL issues and concerns raised by the laboratory community be discussed
between the Agency and interested parties. If necessary, amendments to the
applicable regulatory programs may then be proposed to address any outstanding
issues.
Id
.
The Agency also opposed having the Board hold further hearings or open a sub-docket to
address the laboratory issues. PC 3 at 9. The Agency emphasized that Mr. Thomas and IAETL
“addressed issues that were not part of the Agency’s original proposal.”
Id
. The Agency
maintained:
If and when the laboratories can agree on a concrete approach that is technically
justified, we would invite them to come to the Agency with that unified approach,
and we would be amenable to giving them our input at that time.
Id
.
As the Board noted in its first-notice opinion, the Board greatly appreciates the
participation of IAETL in this rulemaking, as well as that of all the other participants. To be
clear, one of the Agency proposal’s main purposes, as articulated by the Agency, was to update
and improve many technical aspects of TACO. Further, the Agency’s proposal did seek
amendments to TACO tables that include ADLs. When the Board opened this rulemaking
docket, IAETL and all other persons were free to suggest changes to the Board through
testimony and comment, regardless of whether those suggestions might raise unexpected issues.
To proceed otherwise, the Board stated at first notice, could stifle public participation in Board
rulemakings. The Board found in its first-notice decision, however, that given the nature and
scope of IAETL’s proposed changes, neither this docket nor a sub-docket would be appropriate
to address the concerns raised by the laboratories. Nor is the Board, as noted at first notice, in a
position to create a new advisory committee on TACO absent a statutory directive to do so.
Compare
415 ILCS 5/58.11 (2004) (creating SRAC).
As stated at hearing and repeated in the first-notice opinion, any person may propose new
rules or rule amendments to the Board.
See
415 ILCS 5/27, 28 (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.
In the past, besides the Agency acting as a rulemaking proponent before the Board, the Board has
received rulemaking proposals from industry associations both singly and jointly with the
Agency. As the Board discussed at first notice, the Board encourages IAETL and the Agency,
and all other interested persons, to work together cooperatively on the ADL issues and, if
necessary, to return to the Board with one or more separate rulemaking proposals.
Correction Factor
The Agency’s original proposal in this rulemaking included these proposed amendments
to Section 742.215(b)(1)(B):
1)
*** The natural organic carbon fraction (f
oc
) shall be either:
A)
A default value of 6000 mg/kg for soils within the top meter and
2000 mg/kg for soils below one meter of the surface; or

17
B)
A site-specific value as measured by the analytical method
referenced in Appendix C, Table F, appropriately adjusted to
estimate the fraction of organic carbon, as stated in ASTM D2974-
87, Nelson and Sommers (1982); or by SW-846 Method 9060:
Total Organic Carbon, as incorporated by reference in Section
742.210;
As discussed in the first-notice opinion, the Agency is receptive to the Board adding a
specific
correction factor to the rules for converting total organic matter to total organic carbon,
as suggested by IAETL. PC 3 at 6-7. Mr. Thomas testified that consultants want his laboratory
to provide that correction factor. Tr.2 at 31. The Agency felt that this issue should be resolved
between the laboratories and their clients, but would not object to having a precise factor in the
rules. PC 3 at 6-7.
Specifically, the Agency agreed to modifying Section 742.215(b)(1)(B) by deleting the
proposed words “appropriately adjusted” and replacing them with “multiplied by 0.58,” which
figure is based on the Van Bemmelen correction factor from Nelson and Sommers (1982).
4
PC 3
at 6-7; Tr.1 at 28, 34-35; Tr. 2 at 93-94, 96, 99. According to the Agency, if someone wishes to
use an alternative correction factor, subsection (b)(3) of Section 742.215 allows for approval of
other methods. PC 3 at 7. The Board included the suggested correction factor language in the
first-notice amendments.
Technical Feasibility and Economic Reasonableness
The Agency maintained that the technical feasibility and economic reasonableness of the
TACO rules were established when they were adopted in 1997 and are “only enhanced” with the
updates from this rulemaking, which reflect “new science, technology, and experience.” Stat. of
Reas. at 4. The Agency asserted that TACO has improved economic development by helping to
put “innumerable sites back into productive use.”
Id
. Moreover, the Agency continued, because
TACO is based on risk to human health, TACO has encouraged cleanups by minimizing costs:
“more sites are being cleaned up, threats to human health are decreased, and the economy is
given a boost.”
Id
. As noted, IERG and SRAC support the proposal. Martin PFT2 at 2.
Based on this record, the Board finds that the amendments adopted today are technically
feasible and economically reasonable and will not have an adverse economic impact on the
People of Illinois.

415 ILCS 5/27(a), (b) (2004).

CONCLUSION
The Board adopts final amendments to the Part 742 TACO rules. These changes are
needed to update, improve, and correct many provisions of the TACO remediation rules, which
are so critical to addressing the risks posed by contaminated properties in Illinois. Among
today’s more significant amendments are the addition of background soil levels for PAHs,
revisions to protect construction workers at properties cleaned up to residential levels, and
changes to enhance flexibility in using ordinances for excluding the groundwater ingestion
exposure pathway.
Substantively, the Board at first notice adopted the Agency’s proposed amendments,
along with two other language changes suggested by other participants and agreed to by the
Agency: IDOT’s request to not be subject to the new mandatory HAA form; and IAETL’s
request for a specific correction factor to convert total organic matter to total organic carbon.
Since the Board’s first-notice amendments, the Board has made no substantive changes to the
amendments.
ORDER
The Board adopts the following amendments to the TACO rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742)
and directs the Clerk to submit the amendments to the Secretary of State for publication in the
Illinois Register
as final rules.

Section 742.110
Overview of Tiered Approach
a)
This Part presents an approach for developing remediation objectives (see
Appendix A, Illustrations A and B) that include an option for exclusion of
pathways from further consideration, use of area background concentrations as
remediation objectives and three tiers for selecting applicable remediation
objectives. An understanding of human exposure routes is necessary to properly
conduct an evaluation under this approach. In some cases, applicable human
exposure route(s) can be excluded from further consideration prior to any tier
evaluation. Selecting which tier or combination of tiers to be used to develop
remediation objectives is dependent on the site-specific conditions and
remediation goals. Tier 1 evaluations and Tier 2 evaluations are not prerequisites
to conducting Tier 3 evaluations.
b)
A Tier 1 evaluation compares the concentration of contaminants detected at a site
to the corresponding remediation objectives for residential and
industrial/commercial properties contained in Appendix B, Tables A, B, C, D and
E. To complete a Tier 1 evaluation, the extent and concentrations of the
contaminants of concern, the groundwater class, the land use classification,
human exposure routes at the site, and, if appropriate, soil pH, must be known. If
remediation objectives are developed based on industrial/commercial property
use, then institutional controls under Subpart J are required.
c)
A Tier 2 evaluation uses the risk based equations from the Soil Screening Level
(SSL) and Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA) documents listed in Appendix
C, Tables A and C, respectively. In addition to the information that is required for
a Tier 1 evaluation, site-specific information is used to calculate Tier 2
remediation objectives. As in Tier 1, Tier 2 evaluates residential and

 
24
industrial/commercial properties only. If remediation objectives are developed
based on industrial/commercial property use, then institutional controls under
Subpart J are required.
d)
A Tier 3 evaluation allows alternative parameters and factors, not available under
a Tier 1 or Tier 2 evaluation, to be considered when developing remediation
objectives. Remediation objectives developed for conservation and agricultural
properties can only be developed under Tier 3.
e)
Remediation objectives may be developed using area background concentrations
or any of the three tiers if the evaluation is conducted in accordance with
applicable requirements in Subparts D through I. When contaminant
concentrations do not exceed remediation objectives developed under one of the
tiers or area background procedures under Subpart D, further evaluation under
any of the other tiers is not required.

Section 742.225
Demonstration of Compliance with Remediation Objectives
Compliance is achieved if each sample result does not exceed that respective remediation
objective unless a person elects to proceed under subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section.
a)
Compliance with groundwater remediation objectives developed under Subparts
D through F and H through I shall be demonstrated by comparing the contaminant
concentrations of discrete samples at each sample point to the applicable
groundwater remediation objective. Sample points shall be determined by the
program under which remediation is performed.
b)
Unless the person elects to composite samples or average sampling results as
provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this Section, compliance with soil
remediation objectives developed under Subparts D through G and I shall be
demonstrated by comparing the contaminant concentrations of discrete samples to
the applicable soil remediation objective.
1)
Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this Section, compositing
of samples is not allowed.
2)
Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this Section, averaging of
sample results is not allowed.
3)
Notwithstanding subsections (c) and (d) of this Section, compositing of
samples and averaging of sample results is not allowed for the
construction worker population.

37
4)
The number of sampling points required to demonstrate compliance is
determined by the requirements applicable to the program under which
remediation is performed.
c)
If a person chooses to composite soil samples or average soil sample results to
demonstrate compliance relative to the soil component of the groundwater
ingestion exposure route, the following requirements apply:
1)
A minimum of two sampling locations for every 0.5 acre of contaminated
area is required, with discrete samples at each sample location obtained at
every two feet of depth, beginning at six inches below the ground surface
for surface contamination and at the upper limit of contamination for
subsurface contamination and continuing through the zone of
contamination. Alternatively, a sampling method may be approved by the
Agency based on an appropriately designed site-specific evaluation.
Samples obtained at or below the water table shall not be used in
compositing or averaging.
2)
For contaminants of concern other than volatile organic contaminants:
A)
Discrete samples from the same boring may be composited; or.
B)
Discrete sample results from the same boring may be averaged.
3)
For volatile organic contaminants:
A)
Compositing of samples is not allowed.
B)
Discrete sample results from the same boring may be averaged.
4)
Composite samples may not be averaged. An arithmetic average may be
calculated for discrete samples collected at every two feet of depth
through the zone of contamination as specified above in subsection (c)(1)
of this Section.
d)
If a person chooses to composite soil samples or average soil sample results to
demonstrate compliance relative to the inhalation exposure route or ingestion
exposure route, the following requirements apply:
1)
A person shall submit a sampling plan for Agency approval, based upon a
site-specific evaluation;
2)
For volatile organic compounds, compositing of samples is not allowed;
and
3)
All samples shall be collected within the contaminated area.

38
4)
Composite samples may not be averaged. Procedures specified in
“Calculating Upper Confidence Limits for Exposure Point Concentrations
at Hazardous Waste Sites”, USEPA Office of Emergency and Remedial
Response, OSWER 9285.6-10 (December 2002), as incorporated by
reference in Section 742.210, or an alternative procedure approved by the
Agency, shall be used to determine sample averages.
e)
When averaging under this Section, if no more than 15% 50% of sample results
are reported as "non-detect", "no contamination", "below detection limits", or
similar terms, such results shall be included in the averaging calculations
calculation as one-half of the reported analytical detection limit for the
contaminant. However, when performing a test for normal or lognormal
distribution for the purpose of calculating a 95% Upper Confidence Limit of the
mean for a contaminant, a person may substitute for each non-detect value a
randomly generated value between, but not including, zero and the reported
analytical detection limit. If more than 15% 50% of sample results are "non-
detect", procedures specified in “Guidance for Data Quality Assessment, Practical
Methods for Data Analysis, EPA QA/G-9, QA00 Update”, EPA/600/R-96/084
(July 2000), as incorporated by reference in Section 742.210, or an alternative
procedure approved by the Agency shall be used to address the non-detect values,
or another statistically valid procedure approved by the Agency may be used to
determine an average.
f)
All soil samples collected after August 15, 2001, shall be reported on a dry weight
basis for the purpose of demonstrating compliance, with the exception of the
TCLP and SPLP and the property pH.

SUBPART H: TIER 2 GROUNDWATER EVALUATION
Section 742.805
Tier 2 Groundwater Remediation Objectives
a)
To develop a groundwater remediation objective under this Section that exceeds
the applicable Tier 1 groundwater remediation objective, or for which there is no
Tier I groundwater remediation objective, a person may request approval from the
Agency if the person has performed the following:
1)
Identified the horizontal and vertical extent of groundwater for which the
Tier 2 groundwater remediation objective is sought;
2)
Taken corrective action, to the maximum extent practicable to remove
any free product;
3)
Using Equation R26 in accordance with Section 742.810, demonstrated
that the concentration of any contaminant of concern in groundwater will
meet:
A)
The applicable Tier 1 groundwater remediation objective at the
point of human exposure; or

46
B)
For any contaminant of concern for which there is no Tier 1
groundwater remediation objective, the concentration determined
according to the procedures specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 620 at
the point of human exposure. A person may request the Agency to
provide these concentrations or may propose these concentrations
under Subpart I;
4)
Using Equation R26 in accordance with Section 742.810, demonstrated
that the concentration of any contaminant of concern in groundwater
within the minimum or designated maximum setback zone of an existing
potable water supply well will meet the applicable Tier 1 groundwater
remediation objective or, if there is no Tier 1 groundwater remediation
objective, the concentration determined according to the procedures
specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 620. A person may request the Agency to
provide these concentrations or may propose these concentrations under
Subpart I;
5)
Using Equation R26 in accordance with Section 742.810, demonstrated
that the concentration of any contaminant of concern in groundwater
discharging into a surface water will meet the applicable water quality
standard under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302;
6)
Demonstrated that the source of the release is not located within the
minimum or designated maximum setback zone or within a regulated
recharge area of an existing potable water supply well; and
7)
If the selected corrective action includes an engineered barrier as set forth
in Subpart K to minimize migration of contaminant of concern from the
soil to the groundwater, demonstrated that the engineered barrier will
remain in place for post-remediation land use through an institutional
control as set forth in Subpart J.
b)
A groundwater remediation objective that exceeds the water solubility of that
chemical (refer to Appendix C, Table E for solubility values) is not allowed.
c)
The contaminants of concern for which a Tier 1 remediation objective has been
developed shall be included in any mixture of similar-acting chemicals under
consideration in Tier 2. The evaluation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 620.615 regarding
mixtures of similar-acting chemicals shall be considered satisfied for Class I
groundwater at the point of human exposure if either of the following
requirements are achieved:
1)
Calculate the weighted average using the following equations:

If the value of the weighted average calculated in accordance with
the equations above is less than or equal to 1.0, then the
remediation objectives are met for those chemicals.
B)
If the value of the weighted average calculated in accordance with
the equations above is greater than 1.0, then additional remediation
must be carried out until the level of contaminants remaining in the
remediated area has have a weighted average calculated in
accordance with the equation above less than or equal to one; or
2)
Divide each individual chemical's remediation objective by the number of
chemicals in that specific target organ group that were detected at the site.
Each of the contaminant concentrations at the site is then compared to the
remediation objectives that have been adjusted to account for this potential
additivity.
d)
The evaluation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 620.615 regarding mixtures of similar-acting
chemicals are considered satisfied if the cumulative risk from any contaminant(s)
of concern listed in Appendix A, Table I H, plus any other contaminant(s) of
concern detected in groundwater and listed in Appendix A, Table F as affecting
the same target organ/organ system as the contaminant(s) of concern detected
from Appendix A, Table I
H, does not exceed 1 in 10,000.

SUBPART I: TIER 3 EVALUATION
Section 742.900
Tier 3 Evaluation Overview
a)
Tier 3 sets forth a flexible framework to develop remediation objectives outside of
the requirements of Tiers 1 and 2. Although Tier 1 and Tier 2 evaluations are not
prerequisites to conduct Tier 3 evaluations, data from Tier 1 and Tier 2 can assist
in developing remediation objectives under a Tier 3 evaluation.
b)
The level of detail required to adequately characterize a site depends on the
particular use of Tier 3. Tier 3 can require additional investigative efforts beyond
those described in Tier 2 to characterize the physical setting of the site. However,

48
in situations where remedial efforts have simply reached a physical obstruction
additional investigation may not be necessary for a Tier 3 submittal.
c)
Situations that can be considered for a Tier 3 evaluation include, but are not
limited to:
1)
Modification of parameters not allowed under Tier 2;
2)
Use of models different from those used in Tier 2;
3)
Use of additional site data to improve or confirm predictions of exposed
receptors to contaminants of concern;
4)
Analysis of site-specific risks using formal risk assessment, probabilistic
data analysis, and sophisticated fate and transport models (e.g., requesting
a target hazard quotient greater than 1 or a target cancer risk greater than 1
in 1,000,000);
5)
Requests for site-specific remediation objectives because an assessment
indicates further remediation is not practical;
6)
Incomplete human exposure pathway(s) not excluded under Subpart C;
7)
Use of toxicological-specific information not available from the sources
listed in Tier 2;
8)
Land uses which are substantially different from the assumed residential
or industrial/commercial property uses of a site (e.g., a site will be used for
recreation in the future and cannot be evaluated in Tier Tiers 1 or 2); and
9)
Requests for site-specific remediation objectives that which exceed Tier 1
groundwater remediation objectives so long as the following is
demonstrated:
A)
To the extent practical, the exceedance of the groundwater quality
standard has been minimized and beneficial use appropriate to the
groundwater that was impacted has been returned; and
B)
Any threat to human health or the environment has been
minimized
. [415 ILCS 5/58.5(d D)(4)(A)]
d)
For requests of a target cancer risk ranging between 1 in 1,000,000 and 1 in
10,000 at the point of human exposure or a target hazard quotient greater than 1 at
the point of human exposure, the requirements of Section 742.915 shall be
followed. Requests for a target cancer risk exceeding 1 in 10,000 at the point of
human exposure are not allowed.

 
49
e)
Requests for approval of a Tier 3 evaluation must be submitted to the Agency for
review under the specific program under which remediation is performed. When
reviewing a submittal under Tier 3, the Agency shall consider
whether the
interpretations and conclusions reached are supported by the information
gathered
. [415 ILCS 58.7(e)(1)]. The Agency shall approve a Tier 3 evaluation if
the person submits the information required under this Part and establishes
through such information that public health is protected and that specified risks to
human health and the environment have been minimized.
f)
If contaminants of concern include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), requests for
approval of a Tier 3 evaluation must additionally address the applicability of 40
CFR 761.

Section 742.1010
Environmental Land Use Controls
a)
An Environmental Land Use Control (ELUC) is an institutional control that may
be used under this Part to impose land use limitations or requirements related to
environmental contamination. ELUCs are only effective when approved by the
Agency in accordance with this Part. Activities or uses that may be limited or
required include, but are not limited to, prohibition of use of groundwater for
potable purposes, restriction to industrial/commercial uses, operation or
maintenance of engineered barriers, or worker safety plans. ELUCs may be used
in the following circumstances:
1)
When No Further Remediation Letters are not available, including but not
limited to when contamination has migrated off-site or outside the
remediation site; or
2)
When No Further Remediation Letters are not issued under the program
for which a person is undergoing
remediaton remediation.
b)
Recording requirements:
1)
An ELUC approved by the Agency pursuant to this Section must be
recorded in the Office of the Recorder or Registrar of Titles for the county
in which the property that is the subject of the ELUC is located. A copy
of the ELUC demonstrating that it has been recorded must be submitted to

51
the Agency before the Agency will issue a no further remediation
determination.
2)
An ELUC approved under this Section will not become effective until
officially recorded in the chain of title for the property that is the subject
of the ELUC in accordance with subsection (b)(1) of this Section.
3)
Reference to the recorded ELUC must be made in the instrument
memorializing the Agency’s no further remediation determination.
Recording of the no further remediation determination and confirmation of
recording must be in accordance with the requirements of the program
under which the determination was issued.
4)
The requirements of this Section do not apply to Federally Owned
Property for which the Federal Landholding Entity does not have the
authority under federal law to record land use limitations on the chain of
title.
5)
The requirements of this Section apply only to those sites for which a
request for a no further remediation determination has not yet been made
to the Agency by January 6, 2001.
c)
Duration:
1)
Except as provided in this subsection (c), an ELUC shall remain in effect
in perpetuity.
2)
At no time shall any site for which an ELUC has been imposed as a result
of remediation activities under
this Part
be used in a manner inconsistent
with the land use limitation unless attainment of objectives appropriate for
the new land use
is achieved
and a new
no further remediation
determination has been
obtained and recorded in accordance with
the
program under which the ELUC was first imposed or the Site Remediation
Program (35 Ill. Adm. Code 740). [415 ILCS 58.8(c)]. In addition, the
appropriate release or modification of the ELUC must be prepared by the
Agency and filed on the chain of title for the property that is the subject of
the ELUC.
A)
For a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) site under 35
Ill. Adm. Code 731 or 732 or a Site Remediation Program site
under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 740, an ELUC may be released or
modified only if the NFR Letter is also
modified under the LUST
or Site Remediation Program to reflect the change;
B)
For a RCRA site under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721-730, an ELUC may
be released or modified only if there is also by an amended
certification of closure or a permit modification.

52
3)
In addition to any other remedies that may be available, a failure to
comply with the limitations or requirements of an ELUC may result in
voidance of an Agency no further remediation determination in
accordance with the program under which the determination was made.
The failure to comply with the limitations or requirements of an ELUC
may also be grounds for an enforcement action pursuant to Title VIII of
the Act.
d)
An ELUC submitted to the Agency must match the form and contain the same
substance, except for variable elements (e.g., name of property owner), as the
model in Appendix F and must contain the following elements:

Section 742.1015
Ordinances
a) An ordinance adopted by a unit of local government that effectively prohibits the
installation of potable water supply wells (and the use of such wells) may be used as
an institutional control to meet the requirements of Section 742.320(d) or
742.805(a)(3) if the requirements of this Section are met. A model ordinance is found
in Appendix G. Ordinances prohibiting the installation of potable water supply wells
(and the use of such wells) that do not expressly prohibit the installation of potable
water supply wells (and the use of such wells) by units of local government may be
acceptable as institutional controls if the requirements of this Section are met and a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into under subsection (i) of this
Section. For purposes of this Section, a unit of local government is considered to be
expressly prohibited from installing and using potable water supply wells only if the
unit of local government is included in the prohibition provision by name. The
prohibition required by this Section shall satisfy the following requirements at a
minimum:
1)
The prohibition shall not allow exceptions for potable water well
installation and use other than for the adopting unit of local government;
2)
The prohibition shall apply at all depths and shall not be limited to
particular aquifers or other geologic formations;

55
3)
If the prohibition does not apply everywhere within the boundaries of the
unit of local government, the limited area to which the prohibition applies
shall be easily identifiable and clearly defined by the ordinance (e.g.,
narrative descriptions accompanied by maps with legends or labels
showing prohibition boundaries or narrative descriptions using fixed,
common reference points such as street names). Boundaries of
prohibitions limited by area shall be fixed by the terms of the ordinance
and shall not be subject to change without amending the ordinance in
which the prohibition has been adopted (e.g., no boundaries defined with
reference to zoning districts or the availability of the public water supply);
and
4)
The prohibition shall not in any way restrict or limit the Agency’s
approval of the use of the ordinance as an institutional control pursuant to
this Part (e.g., no restrictions based on remediation program participation
or no restrictions on persons performing remediation within the
prohibition area who may use the ordinance).
b)
A request for approval of a local ordinance as an institutional control shall
provide the following:
1)
A copy of the ordinance restricting groundwater use certified by an
official of the unit of local government in which the site is located that it is
a true and accurate copy of the ordinance, unless the Agency and the unit
of local government have entered an agreement under subsection (i) of this
Section, in which case the request may alternatively reference the MOU.
The ordinance must demonstrate that potable use of groundwater from
potable water supply wells is prohibited;
2)
A scaled map(s) delineating the area and extent of groundwater
contamination modeled above the applicable remediation objectives
including any measured data showing concentrations of contaminants of
concern in which the applicable remediation objectives are exceeded;
3)
A scaled map delineating the boundaries of all properties under which
groundwater is located which exceeds the applicable groundwater
remediation objectives;

Section 742.1020
Highway Authority Agreements and Highway Authority Agreement
Memoranda of Agreement
a)
An agreement with a highway authority may be used as an institutional control
where the requirements of this Section are met and the Agency has determined
that no further remediation is required as to the property(ies) to which the
agreement is to apply. Highway Authority Agreements submitted to the Agency,
except for those agreements with the Illinois Department of Transportation, must
match the form and contain the same substance, except for variable elements, as
the model in Appendix D.
b)
As part of the agreement the highway authority shall agree to:
1)
Prohibit the use of groundwater under the highway right of way that is
contaminated above residential Tier 1 remediation objectives from the
release as a potable supply of water; and
2)
Limit access to soil contamination under the highway right of way that is
contaminated above residential Tier 1 or construction worker remediation
objectives, whichever is less, from the release. Access to soil
contamination may be allowed if, during and after any access, public
health and the environment are protected.
c)
The agreement shall provide the following:
1)
Fully executed signature blocks by the highway authority and the owner of
the property (or, in the case of a petroleum leaking underground storage
tank, the owner or operator of the tank) from which the release occurred;
2)
A scaled map delineating the area and extent of soil and groundwater
contamination above the applicable Tier 1 remediation objectives or a
statement that either soil or groundwater is not contaminated above the
applicable Tier 1 residential remediation objectives;
3)
Information showing the concentration of contaminants of concern within
the zone in which the applicable Tier 1 remediation objectives are
exceeded;
4)
A stipulation of the information required by subsections (c)(2) and (3) of
this Section in the agreement if it is not practical to obtain the information
by sampling the highway right-of-way; and

60
5)
Information identifying the highway authority having jurisdiction.
d)
Highway Authority Agreements must be referenced in the instrument that is to be
recorded on the chain of title for the remediation property.
e) Violation of the terms of an Agreement approved by the Agency as an institutional
control under this Section shall be grounds for voidance of the Agreement as an
institutional control and the instrument memorializing the Agency's no further
remediation determination.
f)
Failure to provide all of the information required in subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section will be grounds for denial of the Highway Authority Agreement as an
institutional control.
g)
In instances in which the highway authority is also the property owner of the site,
a Highway Authority Agreement may not be used. In such cases, the highway
authority shall instead enter into a Highway Authority Agreement Memorandum
of Agreement (HAA MOA) between the highway authority and the Agency. An
HAA MOA may be used as an institutional control where the requirements of this
Section are met and the Agency has determined that no further remediation is
required as to the property(ies) to which the agreement is to apply. HAA MOAs
submitted to the Agency must match the form and contain the same substance,
except for variable elements, as the model in Appendix E.
h)
As part of the HAA MOA the highway authority shall agree to:
1)
Prohibit the use of groundwater under the highway right of way that is
contaminated above residential Tier 1 or construction worker remediation
objectives, whichever are less, from the release as a potable supply of
water; and
2)
Limit access to soil contamination under the highway right of way that is
contaminated above residential Tier 1 or construction worker remediation
objectives, whichever are less, from the release. Access to soil
contamination may be allowed if, during and after any access, public
health and the environment are protected.
i)
The HAA MOA shall provide the following:
1)
Information identifying the site by common address or legal description or
both;
2)
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency’s (IEMA) incident number
for the site, if one has been assigned;
3)
A scaled map delineating the current and estimated future area and extent
of soil and groundwater contamination above the applicable Tier 1 or
construction worker remediation objectives, whichever are less, or a

61
statement that either soil or groundwater is not contaminated above the
applicable Tier 1 residential remediation objectives;
4)
Information prepared by the highway authority that lists each contaminant
of concern that exceeds its Tier 1 residential or construction worker
remediation objective, its Tier 1 residential remediation objective, and its
concentrations within the zone where Tier 1 residential or construction
worker remediation objectives, whichever is less, are exceeded;
5)
A scaled map prepared by the highway authority showing the area of the
highway authority’s right of way that is governed by the HAA MOA;
6)
If samples have not been collected within the right of way because of
impracticability, a stipulation by the parties that, based on modeling, soil
and groundwater contamination exceeding Tier 1 residential or
construction worker remediation objectives, whichever is less, does not
and will not extend beyond the boundaries of the right-of-way;
7)
A stipulation by the highway authority that it has jurisdiction over the
right of way that gives it sole control over the use of the groundwater and
access to the soil located within or beneath the right of way;
8)
A stipulation by the highway authority that it agrees to limit access by
itself and others to soil within the right of way exceeding Tier 1 residential
or construction worker remediation objectives, whichever is less. Access
may only be allowed if human health (including worker safety) and the
environment are protected during and after any access. The highway
authority may construct, reconstruct, improve, repair, maintain, and
operate a highway upon the right of way, or allow others to do the same by
permit. The highway authority and others using or working in the right of
way under permit have the right to remove soil or groundwater from the
right of way and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations. The highway authority agrees to
issue all permits for work in the right of way, and make all existing
permits for work in the right of way, subject to the following or
substantially similar conditions:
A)
As a condition of this permit the permittee shall request the office
issuing this permit to identify sites in the right of way where a
HAA MOA governs access to soil that exceeds the Tier 1
residential remediation objectives of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742; and
B)
The permittee shall take all measures necessary to protect human
health (including worker safety) and the environment during and
after any access to such soil;
9)
A stipulation that the HAA MOA shall be referenced in the Agency’s no
further remediation determination issued for the release(s);

 
62
10)
A stipulation that the highway authority shall notify the Agency of any
transfer of jurisdiction over the right of way at least 30 days prior to the
date the transfer takes effect. The HAA MOA shall be null and void upon
the transfer unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the agreement as if
the transferee were an original party to the agreement. The transferee’s
agreement to be bound by the terms of the agreement shall be
memorialized at the time of transfer as a rider to this agreement that
references the HAA MOA and is signed by the highway authority, or
subsequent transferor, and the transferee;
11)
A stipulation that the HAA MOA will become effective on the date the
Agency issues a no further remediation determination for the release(s). It
shall remain effective until the right of way is demonstrated to be suitable
for unrestricted use and the Agency issues a new no further remediation
determination to reflect there is no longer a need for the HAA MOA, or
until the agreement is otherwise terminated or voided;
12)
A stipulation that in addition to any other remedies that may be available,
the Agency may bring suit to enforce the terms of the HAA MOA or may,
at its sole discretion, declare the HAA MOA null and void if the highway
authority or a transferee violates any term of the HAA MOA. The
highway authority or transferee shall be notified in writing of any such
declaration; and
13)
A fully executed signature block by the highway authority and a block for
the Agency’s Director.

“*” indicates that the ADL is less than or equal to the specified remediation objective.
NA means not available; no PQL or EQL available in USEPA analytical methods.

 
82
Chemical Name and Soil Remediation Objective Notations
a
Soil remediation objectives based on human health criteria only.
b
Calculated values correspond to a target hazard quotient of 1.
c
No toxicity criteria available for the route of exposure.
d
Soil saturation concentration (C
[sat]
) = the concentration at which the absorptive limits of the soil particles, the solubility limits of the available soil moisture, and saturation of
soil pore air have been reached. Above the soil saturation concentration, the assumptions regarding vapor transport to air and/or dissolved phase transport to groundwater (for
chemicals which are liquid at ambient soil temperatures) have been violated, and alternative modeling approaches are required.
e
Calculated values correspond to a cancer risk level of 1 in 1,000,000.
f
Level is at or below Contract Laboratory Program required quantitation limit for Regular Analytical Services (RAS).
g
Chemical-specific properties are such that this route is not of concern at any soil contaminant concentration.
h
40 CFR 761 contains applicability requirements and methodologies for the development of PCB remediation objectives. Requests for approval of a Tier 3 evaluation must
address the applicability of 40 CFR 761.
I
Soil remediation objective for pH of 6.8. If soil pH is other than 6.8, refer to Appendix B, Tables C and D of this Part.
j
Ingestion soil remediation objective adjusted by a factor of 0.5 to account for dermal route.
k
A preliminary remediation goal of 400 mg/kg has been set for lead based on
Revised Interim Soil Lead Guidance for CERCLA Sites and RCRA Corrective Action Facilities
,
OSWER Directive #9355.4-12.
l
Potential for soil-plant-human exposure.
m
The person conducting the remediation has the option to use: 1) TCLP or SPLP test results to compare with the remediation objectives listed in this Table; or 2) where
applicable, the total amount of contaminant in the soil sample results to compare with pH specific remediation objectives listed in Appendix B, Table C or D of this Part. (see
See Section 742.510.); or 3) the appropriate background value listed in Appendix A, Table G. If the person conducting the remediation wishes to calculate soil remediation
objectives based on background concentrations, this should be done in accordance with Subpart D of this Part.
n
The Agency reserves the right to evaluate the potential for remaining contaminant concentrations to pose significant threats to crops, livestock, or wildlife.
o
For agrichemical facilities, remediation objectives for surficial soils which are based on field application rates may be more appropriate for currently registered pesticides.
Consult the Agency for further information.
p
For agrichemical facilities, soil remediation objectives based on site-specific background concentrations of Nitrate as N may be more appropriate. Such determinations shall be
conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Subparts D and I of this Part.
q
The TCLP extraction must be done using water at a pH of 7.0.
r
Value based on dietary Reference Dose.
s
Value for Ingestion based on Reference Dose for Mercuric chloride (CAS No. 7487-94-7); value for Inhalation based on Reference Concentration for elemental Mercury (CAS
No. 7439-97-6). Inhalation remediation objective only applies at sites where elemental mercury is a contaminant of concern.
t

“*” indicates that the ADL is less than or equal to the specified remediation objective.
NA means Not Available; no PQL or EQL available in USEPA analytical methods.

97
Chemical Name and Soil Remediation Objective Notations (2
nd
, 5
th
thru 8
th
Columns)
a
oil remediation objectives based on human health criteria only.
b
Calculated values correspond to a target hazard quotient of 1.
c
No toxicity criteria available for this route of exposure.
d
Soil saturation concentration (C
[sat]
) = the concentration at which the absorptive limits of the soil particles, the solubility limits of the available soil moisture, and saturation of
soil pore air have been reached. Above the soil saturation concentration, the assumptions regarding vapor transport to air and/or dissolved phase transport to groundwater (for
chemicals which are liquid at ambient soil temperatures) have been violated, and alternative modeling approaches are required.
e
Calculated values correspond to a cancer risk level of 1 in 1,000,000.
f
Level is at or below Contract Laboratory Program required quantitation limit for Regular Analytical Services (RAS).
g
Chemical-specific properties are such that this route is not of concern at any soil contaminant concentration.
h
40 CFR 761 contains applicability requirements and methodologies for the development of PCB remediation objectives. Requests for approval of a Tier 3 evaluation must
address the applicability of 40 CFR 761.
i I
Soil remediation objective for pH of 6.8. If soil pH is other than 6.8, refer to Appendix B, Tables C and D in this Part.
j
Ingestion soil remediation objective adjusted by a factor of 0.5 to account for dermal route.
k
A preliminary remediation goal of 400 mg/kg has been set for lead based on
Revised Interim Soil Lead Guidance for CERCLA Sites and RCRA Corrective Action Facilities
,
OSWER Directive #9355.4-12.
l
Potential for soil-plant-human exposure.
m
The person conducting the remediation has the option to use: (1) TCLP or SPLP test results to compare with the remediation objectives listed in this Table; or (2) the total
amount of contaminant in the soil sample results to compare with pH specific remediation objectives listed in Appendix B, Table C or D of this Part
. (see See Section 742.510.);
or (3) the appropriate background value listed in Appendix A, Table G. If the person conducting the remediation wishes to calculate soil remediation objectives based on
background concentrations, this should be done in accordance with Subpart D of this Part.
n
The Agency reserves the right to evaluate the potential for remaining contaminant concentrations to pose significant threats to crops, livestock, or wildlife.
o
For agrichemical facilities, remediation objectives for surficial soils which are based on field application rates may be more appropriate for currently registered pesticides.
Consult the Agency for further information.
p
For agrichemical facilities, soil remediation objectives based on site-specific background concentrations of Nitrate as N may be more appropriate. Such determinations shall be
conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Subparts D and I of this Part.
q
The TCLP extraction must be done using water at a pH of 7.0.
r
Value based on dietary Reference Dose.
s
Value for Ingestion based on Reference Dose for Mercuric chloride (CAS No. 7487-94-7); value for Inhalation based on Reference Concentration for elemental Mercury (CAS
No. 7439-97-6). Inhalation remediation objective only applies at sites where elemental mercury is a contaminant of concern.
t
For the ingestion route for arsenic for industrial/commercial, see 742.Appendix A, Table G.
u
Value based on Reference Dose for Thallium sulfate (CAS No. 7446-18-6).
v
Calculated values correspond to soil concentrations that should not result in air concentrations that exceed criteria for workplace air.
w
Value based on Reference Dose adjusted for dietary intake.
x
For any populated areas as defined in Section 742.200, Appendix A, Table H may be used.
y
Value based on maintaining fetal blood lead below 10 ug/d1, using the USEPA adults Blood Lead Model.
