Carolina Cleanup Standards for Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has
adopted Risk-Based Assessment and Corrective Action procedures to evaluate
and remediate releases from underground storage tanks. Please visit our
Web Site at: http://ust.enr.state.nc.us/
or call the Underground Storage Tank section at 919-733-8486 for the most
recent information.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0115 (m), three
categories of soil cleanup levels have been established: residential,
industrial/commercial, and soil-to-groundwater maximum soil contaminant
concentrations. The soil-to-groundwater maximum soil contaminant
concentrations were established to protect groundwater from the leaching
of contaminants from soil. Cleanup Requirements
Pursuant to
15A NCAC 2L .0115(h), soil must be remediated to the maximum soil
contaminant concentrations or as closely thereto as economically or
technologically feasible. High and Intermediate
Risk Releases: For high and intermediate risk
releases, soil contamination must be remediated to the lowest of:
a)
Residential or industrial/commercial maximum soil contaminant
concentrations, whichever are applicable; or b)
Soil-to-groundwater maximum soil contaminant concentrations. Low Risk Releases: For
low risk releases, soil contamination must be remediated to the
residential or industrial/commercial maximum soil contaminant
concentrations, whichever are applicable.
