* These standards apply to soil/water interfaces only.

Note: In cases where two numbers are shown for an individual parameter, the lower number applies to residential sites and the higher number applies to non-residential sites.

Obvious contamination or results above the Soil Standards/Action Levels is reportable. Obvious contamination includes, but is not limited to product stained or product saturated soil or backfill, or ponded product at the excavation.

The Soil Standards/Action Levels are for confirmatory samples collected at closure site assessments and in localized contamination situations. Because only a limited site characterization is required to be conducted in localized contamination situations, the more conservative statewide standards are presented. Depending on the particular contamination situation, different statewide standards may apply or other cleanup options may be available.
