Section 258

Section 258.50  Remediation

Suitability Determination

Contaminated soil  that is the

subject of an application for Department issuance of written authorization for

land application must be evaluated for  remediation suitability in accordance

with this Section.

a)         The applicant must develop an appropriate, site-specific list

of agrichemicals known or suspected to have been released at the spill site.

The compounds  included in Appendices A and B of this Part may  serve as a

guide to the applicant in the development of the site-specific list of target

pesticides and nutrients.  Unless affirmatively demonstrated that an

agrichemical has not been stored, mixed or loaded at the spill site, all

pesticides listed in Appendix B must be considered target agrichemicals.

b)         The contaminated soil  must be sampled in accordance with the requirements

of this Part and analyzed for the presence and concentration of the target

agrichemicals

included on the list of compounds  required in subsection (a) of this Section.

c)         If the list required in subsection (a) of this Section

includes any of the pesticides listed  in Appendix A of this Part, the mean concentration

of the pesticide in the soil must be determined in accordance with the sampling

and analysis procedures of Section 258.90. The mean pesticide concentrations of

the contaminated soil must be compared to its associated Remediation

Suitability Determination Level (RSDL) obtained from Appendix A of this Part.

If the mean remediation media concentration for any pesticide listed in

Appendix A of this Part is equal to or greater than its associated Remediation

Suitability Determination Level,  the contaminated soil may not be suitable for

land application.
